Beautiful People in Sydney...

A VERY Beautiful person baked me a VERY beautiful cake for my birthday...

Coming to Sydney we didn't know what to expect even though we have been here before (about 15 years ago was the last time and that was for a christian conference). We love the beach, and natural surroundings and we imagined Sydney to be a concrete jungle, busy, noisy and crazy! Yes, Sydney has beautiful natural surroundings, but it's also busy, noisy and crazy. Sydney is mostly what we expected it to be, and thats fine, it has its good and not so good points. Sydney is just different to what we have enjoyed over the last few months but that's okay, we are happy to check out different areas and we like to make the most of each area. 
However, what we didn't expect was to meet some of the most beautiful, generous, and kind hearted people we have met on our journey so far here in Sydney.
Yes, we have met heaps of people and many have been generous people, people that support us by providing us with resources to share with others, people who have made adjustments to our vehicle free of charge, people who we've shared meals with and our children have enjoyed each others company, people who have offered their home to us when our vehicle broke down, people who have kept in contact with us since we first met them on day 1 of our journey, people who have caught up with us, just to have a chat :-)  All these people have blessed us with their kindness, love, and their generosity, they have been a real blessing to us :-)

Once again we find ourselves extremely blessed by such loving, kind hearted, and generous people here in Sydney. These people have gone above and beyond for us. They have been a complete blessing to us, and a breath of fresh air really. These people reflect the heart of God, and we are thankful to have met this beautiful family and to be a part of there lives whether it is for a short time, or a long time xo

You see, even though part of this journey is about experiencing our beautiful Australia for all it's worth, it is more about beautiful people, beautiful people that make Australia a beautiful place to live in. Yep, there are people who aren't so beautiful, however, there are many more that are, and we are so grateful that we get to share our time with them, have a chat with them, share our life and our journey with such beautiful people.

My heart is full...I Thank God for bringing such BEAUTIFUL people to us xoxoxox
 

Beautiful, CRAZY Bondi...

Yep, Bondi is CRAZY... oh and Beautiful, well that's what I think anyway! The traffic, oh the crazy, not even peek hour traffic, I felt my anxiety levels rise..I had to pump the music and worship God to get me relaxed again. It took us 2 hours from Camden to get to Bondi...CRAZY! However, once we seen the water and felt that sand...OH the BLISS, the total BLISS :-)

Finally...Sandy toes and cool water...

Soak it all in Girls...Check out the BEAUTIFUL clear water...

Cute models...

Yes Bondi is busy, the parking fees are crazy if you ask me, however, the water is superb, the sand is beautiful and NOTHING beats a refreshing and relaxing day at the beach, nothing clears the junk in my head like being in the ocean, the beach is my happy place...well spending time with God in prayer and worship makes the top of the list, that goes without saying...but spending time with God at the beach, PURE BLISS...Love it...

The Beach Pool, mainly for little ones...

Mosiac art on the walls...

Exploring with Daddy...

Oh what a SPUNK...

I LOVE this guy. He is the LOVE of my life and I thank God for such an awesome husband.

Can you spot Elissa?

The Bondi Pavilion...

Pure Cuteness...

Well Bondi surprised me, yes it was crazy busy, and we didn't like the hectic drive there or back home, however, if we have another warm day while we are here, we may chose to visit and best of all swim again :-)

I hope everyone is well, and having a good week xo

Take Care,

Thank You God...

How GREAT is your FAITHFULNESS!

All I can say is THANK YOU GOD...well actually, I can say a whole lot more, Hahaha...
I love waking up with Gods beautiful words in my head, I love it. God reminds me and my beautiful family of Romans 8 every now and then, because every now and then my mind gets busy, it gets clouded with the what ifs of life, it gets clouded with the fear that comes from a lack of faith...but nope...God won't allow me to ponder on those things for too long, why?? because GOD is Faithful and He reminds me of that when I need to be reminded! God IS FAITHFUL and me and my family are a testament to that, our journey is a testament to that. Never forget that God is FAITHFUL, Praise HIM, for He is FAITHFUL all the time xo

"GOD is GOOD all the time, All the time, GOD is GOOD".
 

Our Home...

I just took some updated pics of our home. I did post some pics when we first purchased our caravan, but thought I'd add some more photos now that we've had our home for around 6 months, and for those who have showed interest in what we live in...Welcome to our very comfy and humble home...

 As you can see, we have an outdoor kitchen ;-) Hahaha...
 

 Oh and this is our rumpus room, used for all sorts of things, movie night, indoor clothes drying and sorting room, play/prayer/reading room.....

Can you spot the Girls bunkrooms?

This modern day set up has the Kitchen/Dining/Lounge all in one, hahaha...

 Oh, and can you spot the comfy master bedroom? :-)

So that is our humble home! We have lived in it full time for around 4 months and it has served us well. Sure there are some things that might be handy to have, like an ensuite inside could be handy at times, however, we have our own ensuite set up in part of the annexe for when toilet/shower facilities aren't available elsewhere, we chose to compromise and not have an indoor ensuite so that we had more space for living inside our caravan, and it actually works well for us. More storage space would be great, however, I actually enjoy living with less. It is amazing how much stuff you learn to live without, and you realize you actually don't need! We actually LOVE it, we really do,we are content with what we have, and the best part about our caravan is that it really feels like home, I wasn't sure that it would feel like home, however, it really does feel like home for the four of us, and I THANK GOD for that!

I hope you enjoyed the tour of our home!

Exploring Beautiful Camden...

Today we decided to spend some more time exploring beautiful Camden. Camden is about a 1 hour drive from Sydney city. Camden actually reminds us of Sunbury, Victoria (our home town), a lovely, big to

House Of Praise...

Today we went to House of Praise Church...What an AWESOME name for a church, I LOVE it. I LOVED praising God in the House of Praise, Awesome!
I don't have a pic but I'll get one, we'll be going back next week. One thing I love about this church is how everyone works as a team to get the job done. We went to the children's movie night on Friday night, and it seemed everyone worked together to make it a fun night for the kiddies...Love it! Our girls loved the kids movie night, they had a ball and quickly made friends.
House of praise is a friendly church, with humble and friendly Pastors. 
We are looking forward to going again next week. House of Praise is having a breakfast service before the church service, so if you are new to church, looking for a church, or in the area, why don't you come to House of Praise next Sunday, 24th April (Miller, N.S.W) at 9:30am...It will be GREAT :-)

By the way, the preacher for today was a bit of a cutie, Hahaha...I'm allowed to say that, the preacher was my very spunky husband ;-) 
I'm very proud of him, he delivered a great encouraging message about testimonies and how our personal testimony both past and present are powerful. Our testimonies have power to change peoples lives, they have power to bring people to God, LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it! So why don't you share your personal testimony with someone, your neighbour, your work friends, your school friends, anyone who will listen :-D

I Hope everyone is well, and had a GREAT Sunday xo

Hello Camden New South Wales...

We made it to Camden N.S.W safe and sound! This is our site here in Camden...

The drive was good, we had a few steep hills, but it wasn't too bad at all.

 

Our lap lunch on the drive to Camden...

We haven't had much time to explore this area much yet, however we checked it out a little today when we went out to buy some groceries from coles and the local produce market (I love supporting and buying local produce). We also went to the library and were able to get a library card so that our girls could borrow a heap of books, that was a bonus because our girls LOVE to read.

The park we are at has the basic facilities we need, it is horrendously expensive but we will survive. The park backs onto someones land that has horses which is a beautiful site, they come right up to the fence for a pat, they are lovely!

The Girls are LOVING all these books...

We are looking forward to checking out Camden, Sydney and the surrounding areas over the next few weeks.

I Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend!
