Small

today, was potentially the top 10 best days of my life.






you can so easily take for granted the accessibility we have to our Dad in heaven.
i always need to shake myself up to make me realise it again.
it seems so simple.
because it is.


your own personal phone line to God.
it's just, so- whats the word.. magnificent!- that He would come to meet us face to face whenever we would let Him. it just gets me so excited!
and one thing that has been buzzing around in my head like a bumble bee is knowing that we are highly favoured by Him.





let me share my day:
"it's the little things that can change a day."




Lets start at the sun sneaking through my blinds in the morning.
one of the most beautiful days of the year.
not a cloud i the sky

painted my finger nails- a different colour for each nail.

vacuumed..- which will always make my day.

a vanilla up&go+ my new cravings for golden kiwifruit and bananas accompanied me for lunch.


decided to go for a walk to my favourite place in Tawa- that over looks the whole of the area as well as Titahi Bay beach and sometimes the mountains.

walking there, i invited Israel and New Breed to join me.
- wanted to belt out the music, so i started singing. not to mention very loud and off key down the streets to my destination.


long grass covers the overlook which makes this trip all the worth while.

wedged in between to houses.
left: big brown house.
right: a house who holds an old Indian woman who sits and looks out the same window every time i visit.
i wonder what she thought of me today..
she probably thought i was mad.


lying on the ground singing with your hands lifted in the air, may not be the first impression most people would like to make on someone they have not met before.



after an hour later,

decided to take my shoes off, tie the laces together and swing them over my shoulder.
nothing feels better than walking through puddles of water left behind from people washing their cars.

stopped. sat. on a little grass patch after a couple of minutes walking- and made a daisy chain.

i am now walking, bare foot, sneakers over my shoulder, with a daisy chain round my neck, singing back through the streets to my house.
arrived home.



picked up Dan to drive up to the Kapiti Coast.
wouldn't rather be anywhere else.


back to back peak hour traffic.
-i kid you not. i was convinced it was.
but i saw this man, who looked exactly like my Dad, in a car that was driving next to us.


overwhelmed with joy, i honked and yelled out "Dad! Dad! it's me!"
only to realise from the confused look on his face that i had been horribly mistaken.
moments later i could feel my cheeks getting flushed with heat of embarrasment.







Today was good.
new revelation about being thankful for the
small things that make up your day.
