in death, in life

Tumblr is dead but Tumblr friendships live on—hanging out IN REAL LIFE w/ Blakey Baggott and his lovely Brenda

here's to a day spent w/ beautiful friends & loving myself, imperfections and all. ✨ (at Hyatt Place Boca Raton)

In honor of our first anniversary tomorrow, I've got our wedding video and vows on the blog! I can't lie, I teared up rereading Vagner's promises to me, so you may want to grab a tissue or two: https://www.ayanalage.com/blog/vows (at Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, Florida)

🙅🏾that's my reaction to you dating him. best case scenario, he's oblivious and didn't realize you liked him. worst case, he's playing you and ain't nobody got time for that. as cliche as it sounds, if you're meant to date, it'll happen. don't wait around for a guy who's taken.

hi, blog world. sorry I've been so bad at blogging. busy busy life. coming up on one year of marriage with this sweet man. life is good. so good.

"Stop telling people they'll be okay. There are a lot of people in this country that Donald Trump himself has promised won't be okay." If we take our new president-elect at his word, that means trouble for me and the people I love. I couldn't sleep last night. Woke up, sobbed with the hubs for a bit, and prayed for our nation. I am scared. I am terrified. I didn't want to get out of bed. Instead, I threw on my favorite shirt, grabbed a venti coffee and took some deep breaths. ////// All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.

Haha. Give us another year or so to start trying 😉

Via Tumblr or in real life? Either way, for sure :)

I mean, where's your heart at and what do you hope to accomplish? I'm saying this in love, not judgment. I drink in moderation and love to dance, and I don't think the Lord is against those things. But the Word does say to flee even the appearance of evil, so I think it's worth checking whether you're able to bear good witness while you're out :)

❤️❤️❤️

We did! I recommend walking through this with a pastor or premarital counselor just so you're able to have healthy conversations without worrying about stepping into sin :) Also, read Sheet Music! It's a book that describes everything in detail and it's really helpful.

"True followers of Christ do not recklessly and habitually violate what their anointing has planted within them."
