beautiful things

[one of] the best feelings in the world: finishing an exam & leaving & feeling like you can breathe again (even if you have an exam the next day)

when I've finished an exam I "celebrate" even if that just involves,as it did today, sleeping. I slept for a solid amount of time, waking up [in my mini-coma] to shove handfuls of sour cream&chives flavoured popcorn into my mouth and then retreating back into my bed.it was a good afternoon.

in other news, the most shocking thing happened to me today. sad really- for years i have been so upstanding about the type of shoes that i wear but today that all ended. today i wore ugg boots-infact im wearing them now. I feel like i'm letting a lot of people down but i can't bring myself to take them off [and they match my brown wool dress so nicely]maybe ill get a pair and secretly wear them around the house.

[happy tuesday] the best thing about public holidays is that they make the rest of the week go so much faster. [and i just want to get to saturday morning]

"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4 13-18

our hearts always hunger for

happy thursday people! one more day 'till the weekend :) and -how exciting is this- tomorrow the movie "the girl with the dragon tattoo" comes out. yay. For the past 2 days i have just had lectures on Islam. It has been the most amazing, thought-provoking experience. today was especially lovely because we had the yummiest lunch ever. and we sang this song- which is now my new favourite song

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way

You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne

have a smashing rest-of-your-thursday*

your light is ultraviolet

maryjane

She is a wave and she's breaking
She's a problem to solve
and in the circle she's making
I will always revolve

And on her sight
These eyes depend
Invisible and indivisible

That fire you ignited
Good, bad and undecided
Burns when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet

Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
