i need a little more time with you.

i've had a little too many emo posts for my liking recently. at the start of this blog, i was insistent that i wouldn't emo it up here. so here i am, 18 hours away from flying off to ROME.. and i'm finally smiling. i don't care anymore. but despite everything, the worst thing is that you didn't even care to say goodbye.. you just left.

btw, i've got my phone on roaming.. so you can still message me !
(but it costs a fortune, so do so sparingly (: )

crash .

i just crashed into carlson's car
being night and dark and raining
we couldn't assess the full damage
but i feel terrible

i guess this is the last straw
i need to get out of here
my angst has started to
affect my actions
and that's the point
where i just have to step back

or something worse than tonight
could happen.

isaiah 7

'Be careful, keep calm and don't be afraid. Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood.'

If you do not stand firm in your faith,
you will not stand at all.' "

10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, 11 "Ask the LORD your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights."

12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask; I will not put the LORD to the test."

13 Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Even though sometimes we may not feel Him near, If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. The Lord himself will give you a sign, God is with us.

the end of the year post

i thought i should start the end of the year post, since i'm leaving on monday. this is probably the first in the series. the general thoughts of different aspects of my life in 2008.

church
the year of expecting great things and attempting great things. here we are at the end, and i guess although it has been an excellent year, great things are still to come. leading up the impact camp and the seventh anniversary (seven, its excellent) was amazing. those prayer meetings and the atmosphere of church was so invigorating. but i think we all started to slow down after that peak. i guess we all need a break from everything. from 'doing church' and instead being that family -- home. we'll see where we are next year.

uni
after not enjoying and emo-ing about first year, second year has been a blast! i know i always go on about nursing, but i really do love it. it's more than just wiping butts, we have so much responsibility and thus it makes uni interesting. practical stuff. i must say it was hard, and the material was challenging.. and i won't say any more about it cause i havent got my results back yet XD

work
this year i started at mercy and was my second year at safeway (soon to be woolworths). at the start of the year i was gonna quit safeway cause i was sick of it.. but once i started mercy.. i loved it! LOL. i love talking to people and safeway is the place to do it. i've learnt so much from that job. mercy on the other hand has taught me a lot about cssd. and although sometimes its quite tidious, it's a good job and i'm so blessed to have both!

friends
where would i be without my friends? really, as much as thats cliche. i really hold true to that statement. my brother diagnosed me with dependency issues, and i guess thats why i value my friendships a little too much (whats too much?). i might do a longer post about this topic later, but i really thank God for putting such awesome people in my life. in all areas of my life. i can't say that i'm 'miss popular' with parties every weekend, but i have some really awesome close friends, which i think is better than 323 accquaintences. my church kids, my uni buds, my balwyns & my primary schoolies . you make me smile, you make my life .

family
my family, as i often state, are the coolest kids on the block. i actually like hanging out with them, which is a foreign concept to most kids. and although we have our issues, like any family, im so blessed to be a part of my family, to belong. we talk, we laugh and we dance like no other family. and i'm soon going to stuck with them for a month like in the amazing race. so i'll see if this paragraph still rings true by the end of it :P

life
i guess this year has been really awesome. it's been good and i don't have any complaints. nothing out of the ordinary, but all those little things that happen everyday have just made it something to look back on fondly. next year if going to be tough, i can't say i'm looking forward to it.. i want to stay in 2008! i'm scared. i'm scared of being in final year. i'm scared of graduating. i'm scared of change. but we can't escape it, so here's me saying.. bring it on. what is it? IT IS. yeah yeah yeah.
