words...

...And the first time that You opened Your eyes

Did You realize that You would be my Savior

And the first breath that left Your lips

Did You know that it would change this world forever...

~(Relient K)

AMAZING LOVE

NOW WHAT ELSE SHALL I NEED

YOUR NAME BRINGS LIFE IT'S MORE THAN THE AIR I BREATHE

MY WORLD HAS CHANGED WHEN YOUR LIFE YOU GAVE FOR ME

MY PURPOSE FOUND AND ALL THAT YOU WANT FOR ME

AND I'VE FOUND MYSELF IN YOU LORD

AND I'VE FOUND MYSELF IN YOU

SO TAKE ME TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN SEE YOU FACE TO FACE

AND ALL I WANNA DO IS WORSHIP YOU

~(Words and music by Dave George)

can you imagine...

Can you imagine if you just laughed and laughed and yet again laughed...nonstop. Can you imagine...I think laughing is a pretty great thing! Last night I feel that I laughed more than I had laughed in a pretty long span of time!

Laughing is great and people are great! So actually is tea, but on an entirely different level! I could never compare people and tea on the same level...except maybe when...nah I don't think I ever could.

My parents are cool! They sent me a surprise parcel full of tuck and stuff to help me through my last month here! Now isn't that a pretty cool thing for a parental unit to do! I was so happy when I received my parcel, I felt like a 2 year old who had just been told she could have any toy she wanted in the whole toy shop! I love my family! I'm excited to see them in less than a month! It's great to know that even when you live 13 hours drive away from your family, or even further in some cases, they're still your family and you can all still be so much a part of each other's lives and still love one another so very much!!

Anyways I'm getting all soppy now when I had intentions of just exclaiming from the top of my voice how much I love laughing! haha...life is good...family is GREAT...and laughing is infectious...

"Today the heart of God is an open wound of love. He aches over our distance and preoccupation. He mourns that we do not draw near to Him. He grieves that we have forgotten Him. He weeps over our obsession with muchness and manyness. He longs for our presence." Richard Foster

Need I say more? What emotive words...this quote oozes with feelings and emotions...it is saturated with such heartfelt desires and feelings...they do seem to drip out from a Vessel which is beyond containing all that is in it...its waiting to pour out onto whatever/whoever will recieve what it has to give. The illustration I thought that best represents this point is a sponge which can't hold more moisture, it constantly drips...but maybe my mind works differently!

Think about that quote, I reckon Foster has hit the nail on the head! He's quite a clever man as far as that quote goes in my opinion!

just sitting...

I was a few moments ago sitting at my desk sipping at my favourite refreshment, namely tea, eating a few delicious rusks browsing the blogs that I almost daily check, wondering what I should do next as I got to the end of the list of blogs. Then it dawned on me that I couldn't let Donnae down. I couldn't let that small lie that blogging is dying out in Grahamstown live, I had to take action. Action which is aimed at sufficating such allegations, action to brighten the day of maybe one person if not more. I love when I click onto another's blog and there's a new post, it brings much joy to my heart. Its like having a mini book to read filled with stories and revelations from numerous writers. What a blessing to gain such insight and knowledge, such news and randomness from those around you, those that are part of your spiritual family.

I don't have anything relevant or exciting to say yes that is true, so I'm sorry if I bore you. I seem to have suffered a bout of writers block this term, or maybe has it been semester.

This weekend was so very lovely, it was a weekend filled with fantasy characters from Neverland and pirates from a multitude of seas...even a chinese one! It was a weekend where many of us got to share in the special occasion of friends becoming 21! So lovely, its always so amazing to hear what you pretty much already know about people, but to hear it in such a wonderful way that you're made to appreciate them even more. What a lovely weekend...what lovely people to have in my life - even when they look terrifyingly amazing as a pirate or any other odd character. It was quite disturbing to see how great everyone looked as pirates I must say, I was in complete and utter amazement for the first hour or so watching how people transformed into their characters so well!

Pirates or not, fairies or lost children, a wonderful combination, such blessings to many...
