Hello, hello!

My name is Annabelle, and I'm passionate about revealing the beauty and truth of stories all around us!

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story
-those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.
Psalms 107:2
