in the life of.

So. I know I have plummeted down from posting eighteen times a day, to a solid once or twice a week. And I feel bad, I do. 

But, like I knew it would upon coming home, my life has actually exploded. 

“You’re a crazy person” often comes out of peoples mouths when I explain to them my new routine, and why I can’t do whatever they want me to – go out for coffee, babysit their children, take another shift, get some sleep, whatever. My existence at the moment is a blurry busy haze of early mornings, working three jobs, working out, being at full time university, doing readings and assessments, going to church, youth group and Bible Study, catching up and socialising, skyping overseas favourites, planning for the future and speaking and travelling for Orange HOPE. As means of explanation, or perhaps apology, I’ve taken at least a trillion badly instagramed photos the past week, to show you – a little snapshot, of what being me looks like in this season.

I’m busy. Talking. Moving. Learning (?). Writing. Speaking. Travelling. Growing.

And most of the time? I’m a little bit in love with it.
