If I kept it simple
Sometimes it's terribly romantic
Other times extremely childlike
Yet it's friendship still,
Whilst having a king-slave difference.
"...love one another intensely from a pure heart." 1Peter1:22

If you could find me...
I've been having this battle with myself...
to stop apologizing
for everything I do...
To stop justifying my every move.
I'm just being who I am;
expressing what I go through.
Feel free to take it in
or move away...
I tell myself, "it's OK... they don't have to like it"...
that't true I suppose but 'it' is part of 'me'
so don't be quick
to shoot it down.
You gave me what I have
You make me who I am
and I want to be Yours
and stay Yours
because that's where i find worth.
Perhaps I'll never be the oasis one finds
in the middle of their journey in the desert...
Perhaps I'm more like the well one uses for water...
a little more effort...a longer search.
The beauty of being...
without excusing.
Thinking...without being examined.
Enjoying simplicity...without being criticized;
I crave these humble beauties.
Because we haven't exercised it
does it mean it is untrue?
Because not yet have we seen
or tried, does it not exist?
I try not to become weary
To persist with every last drop.
As I'm squeezed and molded
I fight to stay me...
I come here again and again
On behalf of them; on behalf of me.
You're my Hope and though I don't understand
I'll seek You; Your love.
Your truth.

If I revealed SUPER JOTTER PAD
So...whilst i study...the weirdest of things pass through my mind...and the normal-est also...xD
--> I realised I find it attractive when someone who's intelligent, with an eye for detail, has a heart for the small and needy.
--> I really am not proud of the way my nerves control my mind and mood sometimes; that i over-busy myself and like it.
--> "I'm not a nice person" I tell myself way too often...I think it's a form of excuse for not living up to an existing expectation i find myself living by.
-->I enjoy feeling ugly sometimes...it makes me enjoy feeling good more.
--> I spend more time going through notes, flicking through papers and cleaning through piles these days than I actually do studying and learning!
--> Writing in pencil on recycled paper all day can get you down...
--> Jesus knows me. :)
--> Planting seeds and waiting for them to grow.
--> I think i'm going dry and yellow like the wheat outside my window. Does it mean that I'm soon to be collected and finally discover my purpose?
So why am I not enjoying my time basking, growing in the sun?
--> I wear summer dresses on top of leggings. Under Jerseys. And I'm Happy :)
-->Finally, if the devil knew Psalm 91...so shall I:
Psalm 91
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
11 For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”

If I could just write one more...
At home on a Friday night but my attitude is surprisingly positive...I'm enjoying the sound of wind and the black clouds outside my window, whilst sitting in a dimly lit room with books, quiet music and a different mug of tea every half hour.
I've been really excited lately...and blogging seems more and more appetizing everyday...xD Must be the studying.
I have so many Summer resolutions already.
My list of "Films To Watch" is steadily growing each time everyone goes to the cinema and i pass...but hey...eventually i'll watch them.
I am also going to commit to putting up a song a week of mine on my blog or youtube...ekk just to expose my music a bit and give you all something to listen to in summer :)
I'm on Pg.19 out of the 50 i thought I'd finish by this evening...hah Good Stuff.
This actually reminds me...I wrote this in one of my crazy creative-streaks that studying seems to bring along more often...
That's why we have schedules,
we need something to fall behind,
to be constantly ahead...
Yup, that's why deadlines and schedules exist.
And sometimes that's why we have leaders,
so that we can go before them
to show them where we want to go
and to then say "I've followed you."
That's why we have teachers,
to show them what we know and
to struglle our hardest to show we're still right
and we don't need anything from them
because WE....
Already know everything.
Everything they can do - we can do better.
Excuse the irony..but i do find these words quite challenging...and to an extent...true.
And so it's here, the month that may be the most boring of all...
the month which is welcomed in by chocolates, figolli and picnics
and most importantly Easter.
The month our neighbours' fighting grew louder, caving in nearer...
exams will come...
they're slowly creeping up to us..
They'll go...But how can i make this month count?
That beautiful adoration,
the comfort of the darkness and Your presence.
I'll add; do the calculations; estimate the number;
I'll score, miss, judge, rate,
what matters loses its significance,
weighty things not taken into consideration.
And no I am not ashamed to say I have listened to the album of HE IS WE about four times through this evening..:) it's keeping me sane haha..good stuff :)
I came across these websites…claiming to teach you how to be creative…I find this quite amusing.
But honestly I need to get creative! xD It doesn’t just mean drawing, writing, singing or the norm… ideas and lifestyles can be creative…outfits and events…hairstyles and conversations!
"we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5: 3-5
Aaaand if you're still reading... this song has made me cry about 3 times this evening..its worth listening to...
Man I destroyed my poor biro tonight...i bit it like never before xD *apology to Faber-Castelle pen*
If blogger distracts me again..i MIght have to blog again :) buuutt
I'll leave youuu to a luvly evening of aromatic rings and plots of flower-delivering...
Blessings :)

If barefoot...
So we both went the day without shoes...
But i got tarmac roads and tiled floors.
My experience just felt, let's face it, pretty cool for the time it lasted...it wasn't a lifetime.
My toes enjoyed the freedom of wiggling in the streets, and my soul enjoyed the humility of being barefoot.
But I got to come home to a warm house, a clean bathroom...
to lovely smelling, clean white soap and warm water to wash my feet with,
and a soft warm fuzzy white towel to dry them with...
and i got to put on a pair of cozy socks before i go to bed.
For me...it was an "experience"...not a lifestyle.
I'm going to bed comfortable. But not everyone's alright.
