such a simple yet beautiful piece of writing =) much easier to sit back and go 'awww' than to do it justice!

was missing a bbq

did quite a number of 'aussie' things today to celebrate australia day =P

- got woken up by the bright sunshine just outside my window this morning
- hummed 'waltzing matilda'
- cheered on molik as she played against davenport (as well as getting annoyed with the umpire grrr)
- mowed the lawn and killed weeds!
- used 'mate' to address someone
- ate sausage
- drank Solo to quench thirst (silly idea i know!)
- wore a yellow t-shirt with the friendly 'say hello to you' covering my heart


anyways had a good chat with my brother today in the garden, about appearances. Seeing me dressed in baggy trousers and shirt, he asked me whether i cared about my appearances, cos apparently the 'stereotypical' girls would hide in the shade and keep their hands clean and tidy, as opposed to dancing around with a heavy lawn mower. hmm it got me thinking though, cause it's true that some people base their attraction on good looks.

but then what happens when they age? pimples, wrinkles, aches, deformities in bones etc etc etc pop out everywhere. "beauty lies skin deep". are you willing to hug and kiss someone who's just mowed the lawn for like an hour under the hot sun? or someone who's gained heaps and heaps of weight? or been burnt out-of-shape of something by fire? i admire 'true attraction'. love is beautiful


argh sorry me tired can't think
just wondering though, how many calories can someone burn from mowing the lawn?

Here Am I

this song by Mercyme spoke to me last night and stirred up something in my heart


On the other side of the world
She stands on the ocean shore
gazing at the heavens she wonders
Is there something more
Never been told the name of Jesus
She turns and walks away
What a shame

Just across the street in your hometown
Leaving from his nine to five
Gazing down the road he wonders
Is this all there is to life
Never been told the name of Jesus
He continues on his way
What a shame

Whom shall I send
Who will go for me
To th eends of the earth
Who will rise up for the King
Here am I send me
Here am I send me

Whether foreign land or neighbours
Everyone's the same
Searching for the answers
That lie within your name
I want to proclaim the name of Jesus
In all I do and say
Unashamed

How beautiful are the feet of the those who bring good news
Proclaiming peace and your salvation
