I met a girl.
I met a girl once. People say that from the start we were destined to love each other, in fact, she said that. The more I saw of her, and the more she saw of me, the harder reality was to live in. The small moments we spent apart felt like sunless days spent thinking of the evitable end of love and how it would manifest itself; and the hours we spent together made the world seem dull and lifeless...

New Beginnings
3 days on the job.
That’s 3 days of getting up with the sunrise and arriving home well after it sets.
Exhausted? Not yet.
Social life? Non-existent.
How will it continue? In love, hate or indifference?
To love? I hope.
To hate? I could not bear it.
To be indifferent? I don’t think I would survive.
What has it afforded me thus far?
Only this post…
You can’t see...

hypothetically
She cried because she thought of all the possibilities instead of waiting to hear the truth.
She lost patience because her mind expected foul play when really time was simply not an object to fellowship.
All these hypotheticals are going to ruin me emotionally unless I get a handle on them.
I need to get a handle on them.
I need to get a handle on trust.
I need to get a handle on faith.

plan, establish, step
I know this girl who likes this boy, actually she loves him. The boy has to move away though and though it’s a sad thing, but it’s a good and godly thing. This girl I know is also making a fresh start, but she isn’t sure where that will be yet. She’s had interviews in the city, been in contact with agencies, applied for jobs in the mountains and now she’s gotten an...

F for failure.
I’m so scared of failing that I’d rather not attempt anything at all. That’s why when I don’t get jobs I feel as though I’ve dodged a bullet.
But what if I could thrive? What if it was just what I needed to build my confidence?
What if I believed that I could actually do it…

i know the truth
I just need comfort.
I don’t want to be the one who stops you hanging out with your friends
I don’t want to be the one you see out of obligation instead of love
I don’t want to become jealous because they’re there all the time, and I’m hours away
I don’t like the feeling of not knowing what God is doing
I don’t like the feeling of not being able to...

did I mention
my boyfriend comes home tonight?
I wrote him a letter and made it into a heart. But now I don’t know if I should give it to him…it’s not as pretty as this one.

(in)convenient love
I miss you because it’d be more convenient if you were around.
I miss you because I like to see your face and hear your voice and feel your embrace.
I miss you because my heart hurts when you’re not around.
I miss you.
And that scares me.
I miss you.
And that excites me.

Getting mature
There are a few things in life that are happening to me, that I think will end in a more mature Jenny.
The first and the one that makes my heart hurt a little is that my boyfriend is moving to Bathurst permanently. You might say; ‘Hey, he was living there lots of the time anyway.’ But living in Bathurst 4 days a week is VERY different to living there 7 days a week. People have started...

once a month.
Just sitting on a couch, with a hot water bottle, swallowing nurofen, watching british crime shows, talking faith and feeling a little seedy. Actually a lot.
Sometimes being a girl is the WORST.

THIS SUCKS
I think I am a big mess. No, I know I am. Not in every area of life but in many.
I feel like God has me where he wants me in terms of ministry, in terms of friendships and relationships and opportunities, but when it comes education, work and career, I honestly have no clue what he wants me to do or where he wants me to be, and it’s seriously frustrating.
I have all these conflicted...

Feeling so incredibly blessed to have a certain someone in my life. He makes me smile and laugh. Feel confident and beautiful.
Thankyou God!

One of two things happens when you leave.
1. I’m so happy that we’ve spent time together that I am motivated to do anything, even uni work.
2. I’m sad that you’ve left, so I nap, because time passes quicker that way.
Yesterday it was two, but I think today it’s one.

crying
It’s always when I’m trying really hard to be nice that I am the most sensitive to hurtful (or semi-hurtful) comments. And I get that feeling like my throat is closing up and I can’t swallow.

I spent this morning listening to a sermon by Hans Kristensen: “Who to date and how to date.”
Hans started by saying “you will always marry the ‘wrong’ one” – a pretty heavy statement on the face of it. But then he spoke of how regardless of whom we marry, they will never be perfect. There will always be things about them that we wish we could change, but that the important thing is that help us...
