Hello. I am Sophie.
Designer. Wife. Christian. Friend. Whatever you want to call me.
As a designer of interiors, I like spaces that work. For me, it's like putting a puzzle together. Lately I've been playing Sudoku and I often see the same challenges that I would have while space planning. Everything has a way of fitting together, you just have to find the right way. If one part of the space is off then another part is as well. Space planning is just one part of being a designer though. We'll get into other parts later!
As a wife (I still would call myself a newly wed), I have learned patience and compromise, along with many more things. It's exciting to be married and I enjoy it much better than not being married. I'm not saying that it's like that for everyone though. I just like being married to Michael, better than just dating him. I would never want someone to get married because it's the thing to do, or your family likes the person, or you don't see yourself with anyone better. I encourage marriage when you know you can spend the rest of your life with someone, through all the ups and downs. Now, I know I'm just a newly wed, what do I know right? Well I do know what it feels like to marry my best friend, the person I can share my deepest darkest secrets with and, by God's grace, he still loves me through it all. I look forward to the 'downs' in our marriage because I want to be able to make it through them. I'm in this for life.
Christian. Such a misused word. I call myself one because I believe that God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die for all the sins of this world. By God's monstrous grace, I am saved. I don't count myself as perfect at all. I wouldn't need His grace if I were. I strive to live every day for Him, rather than my selfish self. God is bigger than me, this world, this universe. This life is not about me, it's all about Him. I encourage you to read all that I have to say about this God of mine in the future. Even if you don't believe.
Friend. Well I'm not sure how great of a friend I am. Through mostly all aspects of my life, I'm hard on myself. So I always think that I can be better, and be a better friend. I am very protective of my friends and want the best for them all. If you're hurting, so am I. If you feel devastated, so do I. If there was something I could improve on in a friendship, I would try harder to ask the tough questions. Bring up things that I'm concerned about.
Love it!!! Can't wait to read more!
