genuine-ly

I've just learnt something about myself that i never even thought of before.


i get legitimately angry when people aren't genuine.

i think its an interesting characteristic, & i'm not really sure whether i want to change it or not. 

like i don't like the getting angry part but i think i like that its made me realise i am passionate about something & that i don't want to seem in-genuine about about anything i do. 

i'm genuinely excited about elevate on friday night
i'm genuinely excited about going horse riding on saturday
i'm genuinely excited about spending this week up in wellington
i'm genuinely excited about smashing my test in the face the monday i get back. 
& just so i'm being honest and genuine. Yes, i  did copy and paste the phrase "i'm genuinely excited about..."

I cannot wait to travel.
To have the excitement rising from the pit of your stomach. 

To be gone just long enough to be excited to get back to your own bed. 

I'm excited to travel with my best friend. 

Life is exciting. 

Don't forget your friends on the way though. 

Thank the one who gives you breath. 

& Remember to Smile.

You are very loved, treasured and beautiful.

this might be a controversial statement but I'd rather sold out for His kingdom and will than just have a heart for The house.

fear is a funny thing. the opposite of love the bible calls it. sometimes I get really afraid when people who what I'm really like, or how I think, or what makes me tick, or what makes me feel loved. I get scared that once they figure me out they wont want to keep me apart of their life any more. but then He reminded me that I shouldn't be looking for my worth in what people think of me. I should remember that just like an earthly princess doesn't get crowned a princess because of what she does or how good at something she is, shes a princess because her dad is a king. royalty is running through her veins. she didn't earn it. she was born with it. royalty is running through my veins now too. and even though i fail him daily, it doesn't stop how highly He esteems me. hooooly, I'm so screwed up but He loves me anyway, what the?! 

Most of the time life is pretty flippin awesome. God is good. PTL.

but it also helps when you have great people around you.

What a bressing!

Last night me and simba got half way through making these:

This isn't our one though. We haven't melted the crayons just yet.  because we went to the pool as well and after sticking on everything we didnt even realise that it was 11pm!
I really just love his creativity. he's such a breath of fresh air! Gosh I'm lucky! AND I get type written letters to me every now and then! 

I'm also really lucky to have such amazing flatmates! I can smell lots of cupcakes in my room from the kitchen. Yay leigh! 

Now I've got 5 assignments to do in 3 weeks! pray for me. haha 

One more thing, I learnt in my lectures today that 40% of New Zealands population identify themselves as a sort of Christianity, catholic majority, 10% associate themselves with other religions and a massive 50% of our population call themselves atheists or have no association with any label to do with religion. 

I also learnt that the new type of global religion is assumed that it will be fundamentalism, with a political point of view. 

High school blitz is in 6 days. Its our job to introduce these highschoolers to the greatest person in their life! yeah buddy. 

Give me faith

Its funny how people would be so inclined to share their deepest secrets on a blog and not to people who care about them. 

this song is so testimony to my life right now

God is good. and his love is great!
