:D
Okay, okay. I finally stopped giggling and smiling like an idiot.
Um…where to start…
I am so sorry I haven’t really given you a proper update in a while. I said I’d post Brissy and Barossa pictures and I haven’t because of a mixture of many different reasons (poor planning, busy-ness, forgot, work, some stress, some moving and shaking around the house,...

Q6: Hard Times
What is the hardest thing you have ever had to do?
_____
I think the reason why this was a hard one to answer is because every time I thought of something difficult I had to do, I would remember something that seemed harder. These types of questions are a little more subjective than the others because what would seem difficult to me, might be easy for you (and vice versa). Situations are...

blood-red sky
(Photo By Alex Long)
Last night I fell asleep crying. I imagine it will happen again. It was painful because so much emotion needed to come out and instead of a steady stream, they came in short, brief bursts so I felt next to no relief.
I woke up and the light from my window was a deep magenta. Pulling back the curtains my eyes strained to adjust to the glare. The sky was the same colour...

Q5: Fortune Cookies
What are 4 thoughts or messages you would want to read and write in a fortune cookie?
_____
How cool would it be if fortune cookies were tailor-made for you? xD
Read:
Beware of this thing called love.
You have just won a trip to any place in the world for one week.
Okay, so the last one wasn’t really a fortune. More like a wish :D And people don’t get warned enough that...

Q4: Time Travel
Where and when would you go in a Time Machine, if you had one?
_____
If it was in my personal time line, it would be back to the day I was baptised. The day I handed my life over to God to use. The day I was washed and made clean. The day I had the most important people, my spiritual family, with me. There was so much hope in my heart that day, so much faith—I want to remember that.

Q3: Expertise
What is one particular subject you know a lot about?
_____
Hmmm…
I know bits and pieces of quite a few things, actually. Christianity, music, architecture, movies, my culture. Not to the depths one would expect but just enough ;)

Q2: Dreams
What is your most memorable dream or nightmare?
_____
Hmmm…I’m not very good at remembering dreams. I can’t even remember things that have happened recently—my memory seems to be quite selective. I’ve dreamt in black and white as well as faded, vintage-y (like an old photograph) colours before. And I always dream about people I know (family, friends, very rarely...

Q1: Candy
What are 5 different candies or snacks you would use to describe 5 different friends? (but don’t tell us their real names)
_____
Wow, this was a toughie, let me tell you. And I only had to think up 5! Funny. Three of the five were chocolates xD
Starburst Gummy Babies - this one isn’t really to describe the person but reminds me of the night we got to know each other better :) However I...

I love my mother...
She told me things that I didn’t want to hear. The painful truth, the mistake I made. She gave me a picture of the hard choices that I would now be faced with.
Then she prayed with me as I cried. I felt her love and her maternal instinct to protect me. I also saw her desire to trust God when she knew there would come a point where she couldn’t be there for me.
It gave me strength,...
I love being home :)
Yeah, okay let me explain.
I was dragging my dufflebag back into my room and somehow managed to ding my shoulder on the handle of the door in the hallway—this is an old Aussie house so the door handles are typically high. Within that black towel on my shoulder is a massive ice pack.
Anywho…
Hello again y’all! Back from sunny, humid Brisbane. I spent the last four days with...

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and...”
– II Timothy 1:7
This verse reminds me that I am more than I see myself as and more than people say I am or can be, because of my Father.

Hello there 2011 :)
In merely minutes, it will be another new year. I can assure you I will now either be in front of the TV watching the fireworks in Sydney for the 6th year in a row or I am already asleep (out of sheer exhaustion from the chores I gave myself to do today) so I won’t be awake to bring in the new year.
As a light-hearted, fun exercise in reflection I decided to recap this year in a...
