// P u r i t y // "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away enticed. Then, after desire has concieved, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when fully grown, gives birth to death. Do not be decieved: every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:13-17 :: NIV :: // S e l f // 'Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honour one another abouve yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.' Romans 12:9-12 :: NIV ::
// S e l f l e s s n e s s //
14-16 Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they're happy; share tears when they're down. Get along with each other; don't be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don't be the great somebody. 17-19 Don't hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you've got it in you, get along with everybody. Don't insist on getting even; that's not for you to do. "I'll do the judging," says God. "I'll take care of it."
Romans 12:14-19

poetry in motion :P
I was looking at my life today: The many things I've wished to say, The price for love, I've had to pay. The times I've pushed them all away, The times I've badly wished to stay. I've mucked around in every way, Where black and white fade in to grey. Oh, life's a funny game to play. Each turn you have a choice to make As simple as which road to take. And yet, quite hard, which dreams to break, Which friend to choose when all are fake. Enough to make you scream and shake, And fall, at last, to knees that quake. Though life will rarely be at stake, Such choices I cannot partake.
As life calls conscience to awake.
Then looking back upon them all, I see the ones that I let fall, The ones I let just hit the wall. My blindness to the early call, Of burdens I would surely haul. Not knowing what fate had in stall, Mistakes to make your smooth skin crawl. As messy as a small child's scrawl, And still I try to stand up tall.
Life makes you feel so very small.

Remember the days
Long will I remember the days;rolling down Parliament House Hill, laughing at stupid pick-up lines, straightening each other's hair, TSUNAMI!, examining the finer points of crazy underpants, indulging in impulse shopping, pouncing on Oporto vouchers, breaking into song, observing the pigeon: both mating and eating, sorting out one another's shenanigans, giggling on long bus rides, embarking upon naked and midnight swimming expeditions, peeling in the hot summer days, complaining about frostbite in the cold winter ones, collaborating of wardrobes...Long will I remember the days;Discovering we were sisters, exploration of chocolate and peanut butter, matching hair colours to foods, watching doily girl strut her stuff in 'A Walk to Remember', supporting one another in Christ, deep and meaningfuls in maths, panic and anxiety attacks in science, Soothing one another's insecurities, the extreme exhaustion of shopping until dropping, being coached into a REAL debating team, the discovery of shower gel, the miracle that is smilies...Long will I remember the days;Making up songs on the courts, pretending to be detectives/secret agants, picking up countless blue milo spoons, clairvoyancy involving the marriage of a chish in an underwater chapel, giggling at our nakedness at the hot springs, constantly inventing new names for our unfortunate children, the miracle of post-it notes and cheekle areas, the panic of losing my buddy Rofus at Osaka airport, the crunch of eating grasshoppers, looking like pineapple women, belting out tunes and the camel song, being subconsciously separated at birth...Long will I remember the days;Discovering Grandpa's toilet brush, Blaming you for everything without realising it was unkind, Singing cute duets to guests at family dinner parties, knowing our entire lives that we would never be alone, deep and meaningfuls at all hours all over Australia, the time you hit your golf ball into the Pacific Ocean, playing hide and seek in mama's walk-in robe, rocking out to Jet in order to dry our hair, running away from home together and planning to sleep in the gutters until mum could find us, searching for everything under the sun that you've lost, beginning pre-school, primary school, high school and college by holding your hand tightly as we entered the new building, knowing that we're two peas in a unique pod...Long will I remember the days;Attempting to straighten the thickest, blondest hair I have yet to encounter, the slow process of becoming friends through friends, laughing at our early attempts to put on make-up, shivering with nervousness at big competitions, tears and pain after falls and losses, singing play school songs at the top of our lungs, many attempts at cooking, anxiously getting ready for socials with the girls, becoming science buddies and carefully ignoring mark, the exhilaration of landing our very first tumbling rows, crying over lost loves to best friends, discovering that our boobs were identical, camping and not showering for 3 days, cute apologetic snores...Like a ghost don't need a key Your best friend I've come to be Please don't think of getting up for me You don't even need to speak...If you're cold I'll keep you warm If you're low just hold on Cause I will be your safety Oh don't leave home

Yellow
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry
It's true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you
And for everything you do.
... and you know I love you so. My sunshine.
