Paris is Burning

You know... God answers prayer. 

Cause He's awesome like that. 

Basically, I've had that change I needed, provided through new friends, and tons of fun last week. 

Starting with a night out with people from church, which ended up with me helping out with a photo shoot the next morning, and a Welcome to church Party that evening.  Crêpes for Brunch Sunday morning and Worship night at church Sunday night!  What a weekend to take my mind of things.  Just exactly what I needed! 

This week we had a small group meeting at a Starbucks in Paris, Starbucks no longer tastes like Starbucks anymore, It just tastes like comfortable. haha! 

Friday was a Bank holiday so we had a Pique-nique in a park, that was just gorgeous. hills full of people lounging looking out over the rooftops of paris. One couldn't ask for a more relaxing afternoon.  Afterward I headed over to meet a couple of crazy cool girls to work on creating some fashion. we dabbled here and there on projects I started knitting something, which later ended up being a headband, and drank wine, and ate quiche and had a grand time! 

Basically.  My life rocks. I wouldn't trade it for anything. 

I seriously don't know why God blesses me like this, I'm the last person, I mean really, but a word of thanks is constantly on my lips, because for whatever reason, God has blessed me with all of this, and I will never not be grateful! I can't wait to see what's next for my life! 

P.S. I saw the Eiffel Tower, And a man wearing a stripe shirt and wearing a beret, carrying a baguette! too good! 

Oh, to be in Paris.

When one thinks of Paris, one certainly pictures people walking around with their poodles in striped shirts, and berets, sipping coffee and munching on croissants, in charming café's in front of the Eiffel Tower. 

Well, if that's what it's like I wouldn't know.  I am not in Paris as it turns out, I am in a suburb, and, a Suburb in France is just the same as a suburb in America.... Boring.   

I've been here nearly two weeks now and I haven't even Laid eyes on the Eiffel Tower. 

From where I stand now, Something needs to change.  

I feel like I am not moving forward one bit, I'm completely stagnant here. Knowing this is driving me crazy.  

But, I'll keep pushing forward as hard as I can, keep praying, and hope that things change.
