and colours are dull

I have been living in this Dunn Brothers coffee shop down in Minneapolis. 
On my way there last week, it started snowing like craziness and I had to capture the massive fluffs falling from the deep grey abyss.
I love my city. It's so beautiful.


song: Untitled//Matt Corby

please listen to this song, and listen to the lyrics. you will feel like one of these fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky when you hear it.

we want to fika with you


In Sweden, they value having coffee breaks with friends and family on a regular basis to have conversation and quality time with one another. The Swedish word for such a gathering is called, a "Fika." Fika can be used as a noun, such as the Fika gathering, or as a verb. For example, if you want to go out to get coffee and spend time with a friend, you can say, "Let's Fika!" [example below of a Fika]


You can experience Fika by coming to The Trunk Show Saturday, April 12th at Segue Cafe in Minneapolis from 1pm-8pm. Our team, [pictured above] will be selling our personal possessions to minister to the people of Sweden.

We want to Fika with you

Team Sweden

May 2014, these ladies and I are going to Sweden.

O U R  M I S S I O N : to minister and build relationships with the college students of Sweden.

We spent some time this week in training, learning about each other's stories, and bonding as a team. These are the incredible and beautiful women I have the honor of doing ministry along side for 12 days away from the states. I can honestly say that I am so overly-excited to have every single one of these girls apart of my team because of our differences and all the different gifts we bring.

Please join us in intense prayer and intersession for the young adults of Sweden. We are being prepped and refined to minister to those who don't know The Father's love. Also, pray for our team. Pray for these girls shown below. Each one has a specific role and the team wouldn't be complete without one of them. Each girl is so valuable.

If you would like to support me personally in the funding for this trip, contact me at whimsyisforreal@gmail.com for more information on how you can help me out! This trip costs quite a bit of money and I still have a ways to go to get there. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

draw me back to your love

River Valley Youth just came out with their second single, Wreckage. This song is incredible. Friends of mine wrote and recorded the track and it just blows my mind how they are all so talented. Buy it on iTunes and be on the lookout for a full album coming soon! Stay up to date with their music on their Facebook page.
