hey guys. so i've kinda relocated...

i made a new blog, it's more where i'm at in my life right now. a bit different to this one, but let's roll with it. please, take a read

here (:

somehow the things that were so beautiful with you are ugly without you.

Words are spoken truth revealed, hail the Son of God. History's pages never lie.. He'll calm the storm tonight.

The last two weeks have been trying, painful and long. My heart feels the ache of lost friendships, wasted time and bad choices. I've been up all hours of the night and trying to keep myself busy during the day, spent many, many hours in prayer and contemplation. Meditating on the word and offering up my voice in worship to the King of Kings, even when my heart breaks in the music. And amongst it all I've continually heard the still small whisper of His promise. That He has delivered my eyes from tears, He has been abundantly good to me, He embraces me with kindness, He takes me to dine at His table and His banner over me is love. He has set my heart free. This is why I keep getting up in the morning. This is why I keep going back to Him. Because I believe He is faithful, even in the wilderness. Even when people aren't. I turn my gaze to Him. I remind myself of why I live like I do. For the Glory of this man. My heart is once again a testimony to His incredible goodness. I will forever stand in awe.

Daughter of Eve,

if you could only believe

there's diamonds within your soul

you are beautiful, your heart is gold, your passion inspires and your voice is easy. i would sit and listen forever. the way you insist with your eyes on looking directly into the soul of the person who has your attention. your precious attention, that you so generously offer. your intensity in wonderful parallel to your smile. the way your words are always genuine, directly from a movement of your heart. you are radiant. His heart is stirred by you. never change that, noone else does it quite as perfectly as you do.

one day i will be this stylish

(lookbook)

maybe baby, I've got a crush on you

and maybe baby i'm mesmerized by your every move

and maybe baby stars could collide just for us two

maybe, maybe baby

Lydia Hollister-Jones..

i love you.

i will run into your arms.

teeth ache, head aches, shoulders ache, feet ache and heart aches.

i like coffee and Jesus, the killers, nice jeans and friendly smiles. i like the old man who checks his letterbox every saturday morning on my way to work and comments about the weather. i like when overseas friends come back. i like the secret awkward giggles when something funny happens in a serious situation. i like driving 45 minutes to a beach at 3am with someone i love. shooting stars. the feeling in my heart when a friend says 'i love you'. learning on my own time. change. being alone. but also being with people. i like days where 4 hours in the prayer room isn't enough. i like the future of 24/7 worship in my city. the high calibre of people i get to do life with everyday. i like unexpected relationships. i love weddings. boots. lyrics that move my heart. i love the indian accent. i love americans. talented friends and friends who were only for a season. and i like the inbetween, the anxiety overpowered by the faith that it's

all

under

control.

i like this life.

no..

i love this life.

i just think this is cute.

ok, let's just forget it then. just one last thing, you're worth more than you think you are. and even though you don't care, i'm still sorry. hope you're happy.

Graduation Ceremony!

Last night I graduated from the Tauranga House of Prayer Internship. There's so much I could say about this last 3 months, so much has happened, my life has been shaken, my beliefs, my heart, my faith. I've had the worst days, and the best days of my life. There's just something about sitting in front of the face of Jesus everyday that ruins you. This has been the best decision I've ever made and I praise God for every second of it.

i'm so into truth.

my heart beats faster with you around the bend

What a man. Dustin Kensrue.

i'll be waiting for you baby, i'll be holding back the darkest night.
