i need you to know that even after all this, i'd still hold you through the darkest of nights.

if you're planning on disappearing off the face of the earth, would you let me come too?

i broke this bone in my hand yesterday. it's not a fun time.

you make the world beautiful, darling.

at the risk of sounding like every other New Zealander on the planet today...

GO ALL WHITES!

i love you.

i love you.

i love you.

more than anyone.

i'll stand up with you forever.

maybe. just maybe, the other side of the world would be good for me.

I would stay here forever with you, we could drink all the coffee in the world, and I would be perfectly happy. And yet you are very the reason I need to leave.

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.
