single minded, whole hearted, One thing i ask
that i may gaze upon Your beauty O Lord
that i may seek Your holy face
that i may know You in an intimate way
and follow after You all of my days

all of life comes down to just one thing
and that's to know You, O Jesus
and to make You known


this is what i am singing, and praying

this photo makes me so happy

i found this new website that was really cute
these were some of my favourites

i love you more than waffles on a sunday morning
i love you more than a fully charged laptop battery
i love you more than camp fires
i love you more than our talky texts
i love you more than a grande non-fat extra hot caramel macchiato
i love you more than my blankie
i love you more than staying in bed on a cold sunday morning
i love you more than avocado sandwiches

i want waffles.
i just found out (i think i already knew this) you need a waffle maker to make waffles. there is no other way. so, it is actually impossible for me to make waffles tonight.

i'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

sometimes i just want to feel something
at least that's real

first time i've been able to sit down and think this year
it's been crazy hectic with friends around and sydney and all that
but this morning i got to reflecting about o8
and yes. it was a full on year
many many ups and downs
but, it was amazing

some of the highlights included.
summerschool o8. living in north sydney. beers with simon in china. meeting ellen. my girls at youth. chawaii. summer camp. driving with my best friend. night time chats with sarara. st thomas' music. byron bay. more time with kiki. the last time. eating too much. book stores. evading a five thousand dollar fine. teaching agc. speaking in strange accents. crap tv with betho. friday night hang outs avec derek then toms. super epic. wintershowcase. staying up too late. hanging out with ash for six weeks. chai in newtown. twilight books. sunday afternoon cocktails. glebe markets. infinite playlist midweek trip. brownie. ugg boots. youth camp. pocky. prison break. reading white oleander. elaina fun. the wedding. settling in china.

i'm sure there's more.
