Hoose


Well, today it was all finalised, and I'm elated to announce

I have my first home!

It has been a total God thing so I can only say thanks to Him. Mum and I have been trawling around looking for a nice wee place for me to step into independence and leave the nest of the McColgan household, and being honest, this was "the one". Oh yes, "the one" isn't just the perfect man, but the perfect place to call home!

I'll be staying in Selkirk and will have the keys next week, and moved in by the end of June. Mum and me have already been scouring the paint charts and home magazines for some ideas, but expect some little pieces of african influence, gorgeous little bits and bobs and lots of nice smelling candles!

Can't wait for all my lovely friends to come and share a bit of the joy and a glass of wine from time to time yeaaah!

Hearts and Homes

A new blog, for a new time and season in my life. I am hoping to be able to be honest and hopefully entertaining as I document and blog about life as a young girl, doing life in Scotland, finding my calling, seeking clarity for my dreams and learning how to grow in Jesus.


Although my last blog, Notes From My Travels is now taking a back seat, I hope to continue moving in this new season of my life. To not remain in the same place but continue changing, growing and learning about who I am, where I'm going.


I am not heart broken, but heart divided. Feeling like I have left some of me in Rwanda, and yet loving Scotland with myself too. Tonight I'm pondering on what God says about divided hearts. I think He loves when we feel so much for other people and places outside of our little life bubbles. 


I have now been in Scotland for almost 48 hours, after a year living, working and loving in Rwanda. It is different of course, but to be with family and friends again is keeping a constant smile on my face.


To be honest, I blog mainly for myself, it helps me process and consider the things going on in life for me. If it helps or encourages you, I'm happy. If it doesn't ntaki baso, I'm enjoying myself.
