  • God, you're in charge.

    I think I understand now why I feel upset. It isn't the fact that he broke up with me. Because I know he still loves me and that we will always have a close friendship.
    I have realised I am upset because I am a teenager. Teenagers want to kiss and cuddle and feel special. Well I'd say people of all ages would love that [except for the cootie-ridden children].
    It was never that he broke my heart, because he has done nothing to do so. I began to think about what I really missed about the relationship- all I came up with were the long cuddles, the kisses and staring deeply into each others eyes. Now I know those are great things, but they aren't everything. Now I sound shallow that I only miss the physical side of the relationship. Well I'm not, because I know that I don't need to miss the emotional side of it. We still love each other, we just don't show it as much. We're still the best of friends and I know he'll always be the one I can go to for advice or just a shoulder to cry on. I can't imagine him ever letting me down, and leaving me completely. 
    I know for now it is best that we put our relationship in God's hands and let him takeover. We can't go wrong that way. I know that I will always hope that God will put him and I together, but I need to keep remembering that whatever may happen, that God will do what is best for the both of us. Whether he will give us our relationship, or find us other partners in future.
    I just hope I can keep thinking this way, and to not be consumed by feelings of deep sadness again.
    God is my only comfort.

  • & it was perfect

    They lay in silence, his arms wrapped around her. She had never felt so complete as she did with him. The silence was never uncomfortable, no words needed to be said...they were in love.
    He looked at the girl, slowly moved his hand and held her chin, slowly lifting her face to his. He gently kissed her. & it was perfect.


    Today in my study period I continued my study into Ecclesiastes. I highlighted the verses that caught my eye and just wrote down my thoughts drawn from what I had learnt and some other thoughts that branched out from what I had read.

    Ecclesiastes 5:4-7
    When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake". Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? Much dreaming and many words are meaningless.
    Therefore stand in awe of God.

    "If you do not enjoy what you have it is meaningless, do not focus on gaining more but be content with what you already have or your life will be dedicated to amounting meaningless desires."

    "Enrich your life with experiences, rather than the latest gadget. Deepen your relationships with the people around you rather than wasting your time building up more meaningless wealth."

    "Don't just say that you will do good deeds, but dedicate your life to serving God and others, spend your whole life doing good deeds which are to the benefit of others, not just yourself. Lose yourself in God."

    Ecclesiastes 6:7
    All man's efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.

    Ecclesiastes 6:11
    The more the words, the less meaning, and how does that profit anyone?

    "Less words, more action. Do what you promise and what you are required to do. Words do not profit anyone if you do not act on them.

    Ecclesiastes 7:20
    There is not a righteous man on Earth who does what is right and never sins.

  • Boy and Girl <3

    The people sat in silence in the bright yellow car, they drove down a silent, eery street. The boy, sat with his left elbow resting against the window, in the poorly lit car he watched the girl sitting across from him, looking past the boy in the middle. He smiled at her, she felt nervous. She feared being caught looking back, but she could not keep her eyes off him. She too rested her elbow against the other window, and she looked nervously at him, every so often glancing at the boy sitting between the two, hoping he would not move his focus off the road ahead. She looked away, and stared at the moving houses out of the window.


    The boy stood amongst his friends, resting his hand on the girl's shoulder, while chatting away on his phone. The girl sat in silence. He bent over and wrapped his arms around the girl's shoulders and put his face close to hers and whispered sweetly into her right ear, "I love you"...The girl replied, in a shaking whisper of a voice, so quiet that she can never be sure if he heard. She placed her right hand on his right arm, it still wrapped around her small shoulders. She savoured that very moment they had shared, oblivious to her surroundings and to who had seen.

  • All you need is two smiles.

    At every chance he got, he'd smile at me. But it was different this time, because I would smile back. As we were walking he gently bumped into me and pushed me to the right to get my attention as he whispered, "Paaaige"...once my eyes came into contact with his, he showed a slight smile and I couldn't help but return the smile.

    I have become so close to him, I can talk to him about anything. He has become one of my bestfriends, and more.

    He insists on buying me a Christmas present that could cost upwards of $50 [Australian Dollars]...I really do not want him to do so, I'd feel so guilty...I already feel guilty and it isn't even December. He says I won't win, that he's going to buy me the present no matter what. Today we were in citybeach with a group of friends. We were all by a glass cabinet and he whispered to me 'which ones did you want?'. I think he is serious about buying me a present and I feel so bad.

    He has really opened up to me about a lot of things, but his past doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is who he is now and who he is trying to be. He is doing it all for me, and when he said that it meant the world to me.

    "A smile cures all"

    "Not everything"

    "You're right, for other things we need two smiles, mine and yours."

  • Everyone needs a little appreciation...

    Amongst friends, I sat at McDonald's [as we do every Sunday night after church] while going insane because of my lemon of phone. I wanted to throw it at something, so badly.

    My good friend, a tall, bushy haired boy had sat next to me for the whole night; I love this guy so much- he makes me happy.

    He looked at me and said,

    "Yes or No?" -Boy

    "Yes or No what?" -Me

    "Just Yes or No?" -Boy

    this continued for a while,

    "I was just going to say something, but I didn't know if I should or not." -Boy

    "Oh...Say it?" -Me

    He busied himself with photos on his phone...

    "Just say it...?" -Me

    "Angry or not, you are still beautiful" -Boy

    "pshh...nothing special" -Boy

    "Uh...thanks?"

    He continued to busy himself in his phone as soon after he said this.

    I could see his embarrassment.

    As my parents' turned up, I was about to leave. I jumped up and got off the brick wall, he followed. He gave me a big hug, the type of hug that you wish would never end. He held me so tight. 

    I wanted to show him that I wasn't conceited, that I didn't brush his compliment off as an everyday occurance, that what he had said did mean something to me and that I had appreciated it. I walked back to him as he sat by himself, still looking through his phone,

    "Hey, thanks for what you said...It was nice"

    His voice lowered slightly and became soft.

    "Thankyou" -Boy

    In a sweet voice he said, "Bye" and waved.

    I could see that my one short sentence had made him so happy inside. I should've hugged him again.

    I was sitting in the car, even though I knew he probably didn't have credit...I texted him.

    "You made my day, by the way :D"

    He had borrowed a friend's phone to reply,

    "And you made mine   cat"

    I was smiling to myself,

    "Who was that? A boy?" -Mum

    "Umm..."

    "Was it??" -Mum

    "uh...yeah..."

    ...

    Does he like me?
