The Travelling Bible in Ocean Grove/Barwon Heads...

The Travelling Bible at the Barwon River...How GORGEOUS are my helpful models!

Please join us in praying for Ocean Grove/Barwon Heads and the surrounding area. Pray for God's perfect will to be done here. Pray for myself and Shane to minister in LOVE, with boldness, authority and with the beautiful power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe prayers are powerful, especially when they are backed up with the Word of God and followed through with a step of Faith (ministering to people).  We believe you not only need to pray for the world and God's BEAUTIFUL people to come to know Him, but we need to also follow through in stepping out and ministering to them. We are HIS Hands, His Feet, His HEART. We are to become to those around us all that Jesus would be if He were here...How AWESOME :-)

Thank you in advance for praying xo
Take Care and I hope you enjoy the weekend xo

Hello Ocean Grove/Barwon Heads...again...

The drive from Warrnambool to Ocean Grove/Barwon heads went well. It is the first time we have towed our caravan with our vehicle since it has been repaired. It was a little daunting, particularly since we drove through that same town (Lismore) and area were the epic drama occurred with our vehicle (I think you know what I'm talking about). However, we made it here just fine and we are enjoying the beautiful Barwon river and Ocean Grove Beach.

So Hello to Ocean Grove/Barwon Heads, Hello to Riverview Family Caravan Park. This park is on the river and our site is a short stroll to the river, we are only a few sites away from the river. We have been to this area many times before and really enjoy fun at the beach and river.

Check out some of our pics...

Our New Yard/Site :-)

Our GORGEOUS Girls...

As usual, our girls don't take long to adjust to our new surroundings. They quickly adjust and explore, play, enjoy and make the most of wherever we go. I am SOOOOOOO VERY Proud of our Beautiful Girls, they truly AMAZE me with how well they have adjusted to full time caravan living and all that it entails. We live a VERY different life now. It is VERY different to living in a house in the same area everyday, with a similar routine most days (school/work/church etc...) and our Girls are thriving in our new lifestyle at the moment, again, I'm Extremely proud of them.
So this is our new home for possibly a couple of weeks, and as always, we will make the most of it. We will regularly walk along the River and Beach and regularly spend hours swimming at the beach. The girls have been asking to go to adventure park, so we will bless them with a day at the very FUN adventure park. We are again going to check out Wave church, and we are also hoping to catch up with people we have met along our journey. We also have a few other surrounding places we want to explore while we are here, so we are all looking forward to that!
Hope you all have had a GREAT day :-)
Take Care,

Encouragement...

I just want to share a few different things that have encouraged us, in the hope that it will encourage you also :-)

Yesterday Shane met with Pastor Adam from Liber8 Church in Warrnambool for a coffee and a chat. We both felt very encouraged by him and what he shared with Shane. He told Shane, if you take anything from our chat, please take "Relax, Relax, Relax." How funny, this is the third time someone has said this or something similar to Shane. What Shane took from this chat with this encoraging Pastor was, to relax and not jump into things because God's got it all worked out (for our journey). So for the moment relax, don't place pressure on yourself.
This was very encouraging for us.


More encouragement...I've been reading a huge amount lately. I have always enjoyed reading, however lately, I can't get enough of it. 
I want to share some things that have encouraged me, and I hope it encourages you also.

In life, we have free will. God has given us free will. We make our own choices in our life, some of our choices may have a good outcome, some bad. However, it is never to late in life to start again.It is never too late to turn from the wrong path, to the right path... If you've turned to drugs and alcohol and you feel there is no hope for you, if your business is going down hill and you are about to lose your home, if your marriage is in turmoil...Don't give up, stand up, kick the enemy to the curb, declare God's word over the situation, pray to God for wisdom, for help, and get back up and start again. Make a choice to start again and do it! Get help for your addictions, start a new business, seek help for your marriage. NEVER, NEVER give up! ALWAYS, ALWAYS persist in prayer and turn your life around! NEVER allow the enemy to tell you it is too late, it is NEVER too late to try again, to make better, more wise choices in your life!

You know, in life we always have a choice. What we do with our life is up to us. Good and bad will happen in life, that is just how this world is. If you feel God has a plan for your life, then get up and go and do something about it, please don't just sit around waiting for the plan to fall into your lap. Get moving because once your moving, God can come in and direct your steps if He needs too, but if you don't start moving, nothing at all will happen, nothing at all will change!

Okay, rant, I mean encouragement over :-)

I hope I didn't go on to much, I do that some times, Haha!
Take Care,
Dimi xoxox

Goodbye Beautiful Warrnambool...

Well the time has come to say good bye to Beautiful Warrnambool. We have been here for about 3 weeks and we have had a FANTASTIC time here. Surf side caravan park is fantastic. Surf side is a huge park that is full of heaps of people in peak season, it has many, many sites, a great kiosk and best of all it is right beside the BEACH, YAY :-) Our site was awesome, we could hear the beautiful waves crashing from our site. As usual, we have met a heap of lovely people here in Warrnambool and we have some catch ups with some great people in the near future, so we have had a blessed stay here. A highlight would have to be the beach. It was so close to us and we could hear the crashing waves day and night... LOVE IT :-)

Middle Island Tour...

Middle Island...

Yesterday we made it to the Wonderful Middle Island Tour. This tour had been booked out all through the school holidays and we were finally able to make it there yesterday.
This tour was Very informative and the tour guide was brilliant. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
A group of us walked with the tour guide from the information centre to stingray bay and middle island across the road.

Middle Island...

We walked along beautiful stingray bay, and the wonderful dog handler (who was also in the film Oddball) walked the two maremma dogs over to meet us.

This is our wonderful tour guide (the lady with the cap on in the middle of the group).

Walking through the shallow water to middle Island (which is known as Penguin Island to the locals).

We had the opportunity to take photos with the beautiful maremma dogs. I think the dogs were only interested in getting back to protecting the penguins from the foxes.

 We then walked up the stairs and along the boardwalk. We all tried to spot some beautiful penguins..It is all about them and their well being after all! These maremma dogs spend most of their time on the boardwalk protecting the penguins from fox attacks.

Some views from Middle Island boardwalk and Middle Island. On the Island there were man made burrows/houses and Penguin made burrows.
We did see two penguins, but you can't see them very well in the pics. They were shy and hiding a little.

The two maremma dogs in their enclosure. This is where they eat and drink, but apparently rarely ever lay or sleep.
We were towards the back of the group and as always, Shane made friends with the dog handler, bonus to us because usually you are not allowed to pat or have contact with the dogs, however the awesome dog handler allowed our girls to give the dogs a good pat, Yay!

See this isalnd, this isalnd is the actual island that features in the Awesome film Oddball, not middle island. 

Middle Island...

Walking back to the information center. Good Bye Middle Island!
What a great tour and a great project. It is so amazing that a farmer one day worked out that these maremma dogs could protect the penguins from the foxes. If it wasn't for these dogs and this project, the penguins would have been wiped out of this area years ago...Amazing!
