If I could change one thing about myself it would be that I appreciated what I had more. I don’t destroy my things and I am grateful for everything I have but I think I take a lot for granted.
Like if the shower is too hot, I’ll complain, when some people can’t afford hot water and others can’t even get to drinking water.
When I need to fill up for petrol I’ll...
Love this verse.
Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
“But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; you...”
– Psalm 59:16

Hugs mean a lot to me. I don’t want one of those short, sloppy one-arm hugs from you. I actually want a long, meaningful one; wrap your arms around me and hold me really close to you. Hug me tight and don’t let me go. Make me feel secure while I’m in your arms. I love feeling like someone cares for me when they give me a nice, perfect hug. Trust me, it will truly make me happy.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in...”
– Ephesians 4:32
I love this weather. When it’s sunny and I’m working I’m longing to be outside in the sunshine, going to the beach, going for a walk. But when it’s raining, it’s so cozy, I love looking outside. I love seeing the rain splash against the glass and to see the water drops sliding down the window. I love it. I can’t wait to get home to have a bubble bath while I...
Whenever I wear a cardigan to work with my black pants I always feel like Pam off The Office and everything I think in my head when I wear a cardigan is said in her voice. It’s kind of odd.
Sometimes I hate having such an imagination. I hate playing situations in my head with high exceptions for them only to be disappointed with the outcome in reality. My mind runs away while reality and life keeps going.
Since sex became easier to get, love became harder...
No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1
I came across this verse tonight. I was just praying for strength and hope and this verse was at the top of an email that I received from the youth district for our church. I know God heard my cries, I know He heard my prayers. It’s an amazing God-moment when something assures you so much. Whether someone tells...
Frustrated.
Frustrated that we can’t talk. Frustrated that I can’t see you. It’s all I want to do. It’s been nearly 5 weeks of broken conversation and time-difference issues. I just want to talk to you. Like we used to. I want to talk to you for hours at night. I want to call you when I wake up. But I can’t. So I just sit by my phone hoping you’ll text back....
I love trees so much. No two trees are the same, that’s what I love about them. They all have such character, no matter what age. Some have lots of branches, some have little. Some have flowers, some have berries. Some are very old, and some are new to this summer. Some lose their leaves, some grow fruit. All are beautiful. They all are so different and fascinating in their own way. I could watch...
I need you so much closer…
Bliss. Laying in bed snuggled under my freshly washed sheets and my quilt. My pillows are all around me, it’s almost like I’m being cuddled as I lay here, only lonelier. The fan is spinning slowly, blowing a soft breeze. I’m listening to Iron and Wine, Bon Iver and Jack Johnson on this playlist. Sleep will come easy tonight.
The moon is amazing tonight. My bed is underneath my window. My fairy lights are off and I have a clear view of the beautiful, full, glowing moon. I often look at it. Wonder about it. Admire it. I wish tonight I could sit on a cloud far far up and see it closer while I listened to Jack Johnson on my iPod - he seems to make star gazing even more beautiful, I don’t know why.
I love the moon....
I didn’t know the Oceans trilogy could get any cooler. Well it just did. I just found out that Frank Sinatra was in the original Oceans 11, the 1960 version. Wow!
Sometimes my eyes get jealous of my heart, because you always remain close to my heart and far from my eyes.
Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you are to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don’t know how much more I can take
I missed you but I haven’t met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
The way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh, the way your kisses taste
I missed you but I haven’t met you...
I would kiss you on the lips right now if you weren’t thousands of miles away…

A disappointment.
Yesterday I was called ‘a disappointment’. If there is one thing I never wanted to be to my parents, it was a disappointment. When I was called that yesterday it hurt really bad. I’ve tried so hard to never disappoint my parents. When I look back it was over nothing but that is the one thing that has played over and over in my mind. I don’t know if I will ever truly have...
I know it’s incredibly antisocial of me to say, but I’d rather stay at home tomorrow to clean my room and watch The Office than to spend the day with friends skiing at a dam.
