this girl’s a silhouette, can't you see?

bed time now i think. see you all in the morning!

amysel:

I hope you are going ok and that your head is feeling less spinny and I cannot wait until our boost juice and catch up tomorrow xoxox and you are pretty. and clever.

My head is better i think. It was weird though. I was scared cos I was home alone, but Byron surprised me with a surprise visit, and I didn’t faint.

I’m looking forward to seeing you too!

and thank you :) You are prettier and cleverer though.

my head is spinning. like i’m gonna faint. I’m just sitting with my feet up, lappy in my lap, just finished a small dinner and took 3 panadol, and my head is really light, my body feels shaky and spinny.

crazy. I’m scared to get up.

But I don’t have an iPhone. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it on Windows Mobile, or if there’s any WM apps that are similar?

oddly enough after the last few months of me doubting everything, not knowing what to think about anything, and life just been really down in the dumps God has really given me a lot of peace the last few days about lots of things, mostly my future.

i am not really worried about interning. i mean i am scared about support raising and taking that step of faith but i am not really worried to the point where i won’t do it. it isn’t really bothering me that much that my mom isn’t supportive at all because well 1)i trust that she will eventually come around and 2)i trust that God WILL provide and He is eternal and way more important to please then my earthly mother.

another thing God has really given me peace about is the whole dating/getting married thing. Matt and I have been talking again and I met a really awesome guy this weekend and i am not gonna lie there is definitely a little bit of a crush…but whatever happens i am totally content with. yes, i would like to be dating someone but God’s timing is just so perfect. i hardly have time for myself and God right now, how could i ever handle dating anyone? i am not really afraid of being alone anymore. mostly because i trust that God put the desire on my heart to be a wife and mother for a reason and i think in His own perfect timing He will put the most perfect man in my life. and if it is not in His will that i get married and be a mother, then that is ok…and i believe that He will take that desire away from me if that is the case.

yea long story short i just feel very at peace about almost all of the things that have been stressing me out and worrying me lately.

that is so awesome and encouraging :D Right on Jen :D Love ya girl!

If you treat a girl the way you treat me—the person you call your best friend—good luck buddy.

1. Girls like to be called. Every day.
2. Girls don’t appreciate feeling like “video games vs. time with me,” is a big decision for you.
3. “How’s that working out for you?” won’t cut it when a girl tells you how she is feeling.
4. “I don’t know,” is NEVER a viable answer to the question “Can we hang out?”. I know it’s more polite than the real answer… “No. I’m busy playing Halo,” but I assure you, girls find both answers equally repulsive. Anything other than “Of course,” or, “No. I’m in the hospitable with Skin Melting Off Syndrome,” is wrong.
5. After a girl texts you, a timer automatically begins. With each minute you waste replying, her thoughts become more and more morbid. Here’s a sample: Minute 2 - “Oh…he’s probably driving.” Minute 30 - “OMG THAT CHEATING WHORE. I’LL BURN HIS HOUSE DOWN.” Minute 60 - *crying in the floor* Ten minutes is the absolute maximum acceptable amount of time to reply, and that’s when she is in a good mood.
6. If it takes you 2 hours to return a girl’s call, she expects an explanation immediately after the word “hello.” Do not wait for her to ask. If she has to ask, it’s way too late. Once again, “I was playing Halo,” or “My phone was upstairs,” are not viable excuses.

Lol, you nailed it.

thanks for following me :)

new followers give me warm fuzzies :D

And to any new followers who I have specifically mentioned… I’m sorry, and I still love you just as much!

But to complete another order, I have to post a webbanner in 10, thats TEN locations around the interwebs! Gah! Means I’m signing up for a couple of new sites so that I can post them on there. It’s a teensy bit annoying. It’s not MY fault I don’t exist soley on social networking internet sites! Gah. I can’t even use tumblr as one of the site (SAD) cos I can’t work out how to make the web banner work.

I’ve actually gone MONTHS not really knowing what it is about. I always got the impression it was just about a husband and wife and the scariness of him being a firefighter. I had no idea how close to home it might hit.

I was given the book ‘love dare’ for my birthday, and out of curiousity (trying to work out where it fit into the movie) i looked up the synopsis for the movie.

Wow.

I’m watching some old-school movie… Clash of the Titans (dunno, my hubby had it and i’d never seen it…) and it was made way back in 1981. So yeah… it’s OLD.

Anyway, the Greek Gods have having a chat up in Mt Olympus, and I’m half watching while I catch up today’s tumblr posts… and I hear a familiar voice.

Look up *holy cow* it’s PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL!

tehe, I <3 Maggie Smith. I used to wish I was related to her (I used to be a smith).

She’s so young and pretty here, but I love her old too, cos she has such amazing dignity.

ps. Sharkbait jumps REALLY HIGH.

I have loved it… but i’m very much looking forward to life getting back to normal. It’s like everything’s been on pause for the last 2 weeks.

my mom did not take the news of me wanting to intern well at all. she told me i was a fool and throwing my life away and needed to finish my education blah blah blah. it was an extremely frustrating conversation. i felt like my mom wasn’t even listening and didn’t even understand my point of view at all. but i guess in the long run it doesn’t even matter. what really matters is pleasing God, not things or people on this earth. it would just be a lot easier if i had her support…oh well. trusting the Lord with this.

It will be ok Jen. Trust God. I know what it’s like - my mum refused to have ANYTHING to do with me and Samwise the whole year we were dating, and even when I called the day he proposed to tell her we were engaged, she hung up on me. It was SO hard. But if you know God is telling you something, stick with it. Keep believing, cos He has your life in His hands, and has the best plan for you. :) You’re in my prayers chicky!

thanks lara. i know it will all work out and be ok. it was just so frustrating. my older brother is an intern now and has had a terrible time raising support…so that was another thing she held against me. “you’re never going to raise the funds you need”. when i agreed and said you’re right, I’M not but GOD WILL! she called me crazy…oh man i just wish she understood.

PS sorry your mom was so brutal about you and your husband…thats just rude in my book! oh moms…i will never understand them…until maybe one day when i am a mom

Thanks Jen :) Just stay positive! It’s amazing the things God does, and He WILL provide you with all you need, and it will be an AMAZING witness to your Mum. My mum came around eventually, 4 months before the wedding, out of nowhere she became so supportive. God is so brilliant.

Ps. I’m absolutely terrified of being a mum. It must the be hardest job in the whole world, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna suck at it.

my husband bought some live mices to give our Loki, so he doesn’t get lazy, and cos it’s good for their dental hygiene.

we bought three.

but one of them is awesomely cute, and I refuse to let him feed him to Loki. He is white and black patchy, and fluffier than the other two. I call him ‘Sharkbait’. Tehe.

so we fed Loki one, and set up a home for the other two. One will get fed to him another day, but Sharkbait is NOT FOOD. I must keep reminding my husband this.

I’ll post a pic later (of Sharkbait, not of ‘feeding time’). I’ve never owned a mouse before. He’s so cute.

When I lay in bed trying to sleep, I start to think about useless things. Last night, I had a debate [with myself] about using words like “really” and “very” …and how people often use them unnecessarily. I started thinking about how many words we could cut out, and then had an imaginary conversation where I eliminated any words that were not necessary to make a point.

Some people count sheep.

I think of ways to streamline the English language.

Who is this geek my heart is in?

Back in the summer of 2007, there was a group of students who went on a short term mission in Sydney’s Northern beaches. They had a marvelous time getting to know each other, and spread the news of the Gospel to everyday australians in relationship-style evangelism.

An underlying story in this - there were 3 particular students who were missing their ‘someone special’ (boyfriends and girlfriends were not to attend the same mission). They discovered that all three missing partners were named Sam! (two boys, one girl).

Now, almost 2 years later, one of those couples is married (that’s me!), one is engaged, and today I have just discovered that the last ‘sam’ couple have become engaged!

I just thought this was very cool. :D Congrats Alex & Sam, and Danielle & Sam. All the best guys!!!

jenniferanne:

so this weekend i went into fall retreat praying for God to reveal His plans for me to me, particularly post graduation plans and through a series of events and talks He gave me so much peace. The last talk we heard last night was about not pleasing other people, but really striving to please God and focusing on ETERNITY and the ETERNAL perspective. Ryan (the speaker) challenged the juniors and seniors to be open to the possibility of a STINT or internship. now i had been thinking about interning with Here’s Life since back in February but had put it on the back burner due to some other events. This last talk was so convicting and during the prayer time I was praying asking God to try and give me peace. I told God that if this is what He wanted for me, I would do it but I would need His help to trust and He would have to make it happen. Suddenly I felt so at peace, and like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I am still really scared, especially to try and raise support and to talk to my mom and tell her I am taking a year off before I go to grad school. and even though those things scare me, I am still excited and feel at peace.

If y’all could pray for me as I start the application process and really begin to try and trust the Lord I would really appreciate it. Love you all <3

That sounds so good hunny! You’re in my prayers :D

i am currently posting this from my phone right now!
