Hello Townsville...

This is our Townsville set up. We are here for a few nights. We have a long list of things to do, and not many of them are fun, haha...we have a list of caravan repairs and a few other things to do before we move on to our free camp.

The Girls LOVE how close we are to the Pool...

These are the biggest bathroom facilities we've seen on our travels so far. 11 showers, 10 toilets, 8 basins and 1 baby bath, WOWSA!

So we will have a bit of a look around Townsville, walk along the beach, tick some things off our maintenance TO DO list, and then move on to our Free camp.

I Hope Everyone is enjoying the week xo
Take Care,

In Memory of My BEAUTIFUL Papou...

Early Tuesday morning I got a couple phone calls and was told my dear Papou had died, my heart sunk :-(

Remembering My Papou...
Growing up I lived across the road from this tough, sometimes scary, strong man. I highly respected him, and LOVED him sooooooo VERY much. He was the only male role model myself and my sister had, and as we grew older, we respected and loved him even more for that.

Every time I seen him I would always take a photo of him, kiss him on the head and tell him I Love Him, he would respond with barely a smile on his face, but I knew he was saying he loved me to.
Pops was a special man to me, I will always remember his strength and determination in life. I have so many stories and memories about my Pops, and I will cherish them always I'm sure.

Love You Pops...

Awww, My Girls with their Great Papou...

Just a few memories I have of my Pops...
I remember getting busted eating unripened fruit off of Pops fruit trees, haha, Pops chased me away. I remember Pops cooking delicious Greek food for the whole family all the time, most of the time his Greek food was delicious, sometimes it was a little too salty, Haha. I grew up with Pops making his own wine, own honey, and having a large backyard FULL of vegetables and fruit trees. I remember Pop would carry his bottle of home made wine to my Yaiyais house (they lived one house away from each other) everyday for lunchtime.
I remember myself and my sister often going to his house (we lived across the road from each other) and he would have a little milky way bar waiting for us to eat.
I remember Shane visiting Pops himself a few times... one time in particular it was about 10am, and Pops insisted on cooking for him. Well pops cooked steak for Shane at 10am ( it was his lunch since he had been up early), steak and homemade wine at 10am, Haha.
I remember Pops house always smelling old and feeling refreshingly cold. I remember my girls meeting Pops, getting to know him and having that same look of fear mixed with love and respect for him.
I Remember so much about you Pops...I am most glad and will always cherish kissing you on the head when I seen you, taking a photo of you and telling you I loved you...I am so HAPPY I had those small, yet very special moments with you over the years.
I LOVE YOU PAPOU xoxox

Love them xo

Can you spot his home made wine, Haha!

Shane and Pops having their regular silent conversations, haha, they could hardly understand each other because of the language barrier, yet they understood each other, Haha!

Looking Good Pops...

Awww, Love this pic, Can you spot his smile :-D

Our Memorial Service for Our much Loved Papou...

Yesterday we had a memorial service for my Beautiful Papou. Shane, Myself, Elissa, Serena made our way to the beach. We all prepared some words to share about Papou. We prayed, I shared a word from the bible, we looked at some photos of Papou (the photos often look the same, barely a smile and usually his homemade wine at arms reach, Haha) and talked about some funny stories about Pops. We cried, laughed, cried some more, ate some lunch and we ended it with eating a milky bar (in memory of Pop), and walked along the beach...it was special for us, and it was good and healthy for all of us to remember, reflect, cry and laugh, release the pain, remember the funny and happy times and finally say Goodbye to our Papou xoxoxoxo

Milky Way bars in Memory of Papou...

Goodbye Pops xoxox

It's so sad to think you are no longer here on earth, it is a sad and strange thought to think I will never see you again at birthdays, Easters, Christmas, at your house. It is sad to think I will never taste your Greek food again, sip your rocket fuel wine, and it is very sad to think I will never be able to kiss you on the head and say I Love You, however, I have a heart full of memories of you and I am grateful and blessed to have them...I am glad you lived a long and full life Pops xoxoxox
I Love you Papou...Goodbye xoxoxoxo

Goodbye Proserpine, Goodbye Airlie Beach...

See you later Proserpine and Airlie Beach.
A couple of nights here turned into an over 1 week stay. Thanks for the Fun, Relaxing, and Ministering time here, it was Great :-)
We loved smelling the sweet sugar cane and even tasting the sugar cane. We enjoyed watching the cane train ride past the back of our caravan. We Loved the lagoon pool, beautiful sunshine, walking along the beach, enjoying the reef festival at Airlie beach, and being around the many tourists and nomads!
We also loved sharing Gods beautiful love with people, and sharing resources with them Thank You God xo

Stunning Sunset over the sugar cane fields...

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), Hillsong United...

I love these lyrics...
These lyrics speak to me now, speak to me about my journey, and about this life really. 

Click on the link below to check out the you tube clip!

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

Oh, Jesus, you're my God!

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

Liberty Church, Whitsundays...

We went to Liberty Church yesterday here at Proserpine. When deciding what Church to go to on Sunday we had a few choices, a couple at Airlie beach and a couple at Proserpine.
On Saturday we drove past the church as we do sometimes to make sure we knew where it was. We could tell by the size of the small building, it would probably be a smallish church (not saying anything is wrong with small churches)....right there and then we both felt to go to this specific church on Sunday, and so we did.

We were right, Liberty Church was a very small Church... including the 2 pastors, 2 worship leaders, 2 visitors, and the 4 of us, it was a congregation of 19 people (including 2 other kiddies). However, we felt welcomed by this small congregation and enjoyed being part of this different and small church service.

Worship time was BEAUTIFUL..It NEVER ceases to AMAZE me, when God LOVING people come together and worship God together, our voices become one and Gods WONDERFUL presence shows up, I LOVE IT!
In that moment God showed Shane and myself something, we both didn't know the other was learning the same lesson God was showing us, but individually God put this on Shane's and My heart.....Worship God no matter what, no matter whether we are at a church of 1,000, 100 or even a church of 10 people. We are to be in HIS presence and not to concern ourselves with the size of church! 
I LOVE worshiping God, and it was wonderful to join Liberty Church in worshiping the KING of KINGS!
This church may have been small and different to many churches we have been to, however, if your heart is open to HIM, HE will speak to you, HIS presence will show up, it doesn't matter whether it's a large church or a small church.

We really LOVE Church hopping and being a part of many, different congregations as we travel around Australia, it really is an eye opener (in a good way) and a complete blessing and privlidge xo
 Thanks for having us Liberty Church :-)

I Hope Everyone has a wonderful week xo
Take Care,
Dimi
