Held

This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell
we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness
We want to
taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow.
The
wise hand opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

If
hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And
you survive.
This is what it is to be loved
And
to know that the promise was

When everything fell we’d be held.

Girl Stuff

Obviously from the pictures behind my title I like flowers...and pink.

I had a lovely weekend in Brisbane with Shaz, A, C, J, C, A and obviously myself. We went to Newfarm, and had a picnic beside the rose gardens. The roses were in full glory and the scent was beautiful. There were two wedding groups for photos while we were there, and then we decided to try and take pictures of us jumping in the rose beds.

Hehe, it was fun...but a few of us got caught on thorns...including myself.

And to end a beautiful weekend I bought myself a bunch of flowers, so now i can just smell lillies. I love the smell of lillies. I want them at my wedding...but I want too many flowers at my wedding :P

I should really go :)

Red Bull

Will someone please stop me from ever drinking Red Bull or V again?

Last Friday I had a V before a fitness test (that I didn't participate in) =p It was very...invigorating. And poor old M had to sit through a very random run of stories followed by a fit of the giggles.

But I figured it was just V that had that effect as Red Bull had been sampled beofer with very satisfactory results.

And so today, I was a little sleepy, and decided to have a Red Bull, ensuring my path didn't cross that of V.

It was also ingivorating.

And I became random.

And I exploded in giggles...it was rather like being tipsy I suppose...similar levels of control lost. And once again I was with people I did't know particularly well...well N was there, but then I'd run into D and a friend of his and they sat with us, so D and his mate left and I turned to N and said 'Was that bad?'

'Well I was embarrassed for you.'

I do NOT want to be under the influence again!!

PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE ME NEVER DRINK EITHER AGAIN!!!!

Sigh.

I'm going down to Brisbane tomorrow to celebrate S's 21st birthday! Woo girl! You're gettin OOOLLLDDD!!!

Well, I'm about to cheer my evening up by watching Funny Face...at least until How to Lose a guy in Ten Days comes on =)

Too Little Too Late


Saturday morning...I've eaten nothing but junk food so far today, (and been enjoying every bit!). I'm going to a youth group tonight I think, and then I'm going to go to Brisbane either tomorrow mornign or late tonight. Not sure how it will work out.

Things have been very strange lately, very strange. I've found myself thinking about some things that I've always taken for granted up till this point and the reasons behind my taking them for granted. The results are interesting.

Have you ever thought about things and wondered why on earth you'd never thought more deeply about something? Or you'd simply accepted what you'd always heard and then suddenly started thinking about it and formed your own conclusions. And made some thigns that were simply what you'd heard your own thoughts, with a few minor adjustments.

Even though basically the same, having made points of view your own changes them so much!

*sigh*

Enough rambling.

I have a few weeks of hell lined up as the last exam and last assignments come up over the next few weeks. I'm dreading it and lookig forward to it at the same time. Dreading because I know it's hard work but looking forward to because I don't mind hard work and I'm sure I can do it.

Well, there seemed to be a lot more that I wanted to say before I started writing, so I will stop for now.

Maybe I'll be more communicative later...
