Chris Tomlin and Lauren Daigle 

Love incarnate, love divine
Star and angels gave the sign
Bow to babe on bended knee
The Savior of humanity
Unto us a Child is born
He shall reign forevermore

The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us

Son of God and Son of man
There before the world began
Born to suffer, born to save
Born to raise us from the grave
Christ the everlasting Lord
He shall reign forevermore

Noel, Noel
Come and see what God has done

The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us

It's Begining to Feel a lot like Christmas, YAY...

We are now feeling very Christmassy. We enjoyed making a heap of delicious Melomakarona cookies together (Greek Christmas honey cookies), they are my fav Greek sweet treat and they taste soooo goood, they are so syrupy and sweet, sticky and YUMMY and we enjoy making them at Christmas time together.
We've been pumping the Christian Christmas music and we've decorated our home for Christmas with some Christmas lights outside and some SPARKLE, you've got to love some sparkle...Take a look...

My Beautiful Family decorating our Christmas tree together...

Let us Celebrate THE KING JESUS, for HE is the reason for this Christmas season. HE deserves to be Praised, HE deserves to be Celebrated xo Praise HIM xo

I couldn't agree more...

It's feeling a lot like Christmas...I LOVE it...Thank God for all HE has done for you. He is worthy of all our PRAISE xo
Merry Christmas 💛

Oh My It's Been One AMAZING Year...

Well December 14th marks our one year travelling and living on the road anniversary, WOW, WOW, WOW!
Over one year ago we made a decision, a decision that has seriously and completely changed our lives.
Leading up to our life changing decision, we had been praying and seeking God for what was the next step to take in our lives. We knew what we wanted, we wanted more family time, we wanted to enjoy each other, we wanted to create more memories, we wanted to experience more, we wanted to be in the direct will of God, we wanted to minister to people and show them the love of GOD, we wanted to show them Love through random acts of kindness and ministering to them. We wanted to step out in faith in a huge way and say to GOD here we are, our hands are YOURS, our feet are YOURS, our hearts are YOURS, our voice, eyes and ears are YOURS, our family is YOURS, our life is YOURS, now do as YOU will with us. WELL, as we were praying and seeking GOD for direction He led us, HE spoke to us and HE directed us, GOD is SOOOOO GOOD! 
We then took a HUGE step of faith...NO!...We took a HUUGGE leap of faith and basically threw ourselves off a cliff edge, haha, hoping and praying that God would catch us, and HE 100% did :-) Once we took our leap of faith, everything quickly started falling into place and GOD started to place more and more things on our hearts and that's how our faith led journey began :-) :-) :-)

We kept praying and started working towards making our faith led journey happen. (If you want to know more about how our journey began you can check out earlier posts, I actually started posting a couple months (October 2015) before we left our home in Sunbury, Victoria.)

We knew with every part of ourselves that our journey was led by God and it was our massive leap of Faith. Our trip was and has ALWAYS been about 3 main aspects and so we started praying about it. The 3 main aspects of our journey were to strengthen and lay a strong foundation in our family life and our relationship with each other, the 2nd aspect of this trip was to enjoy travelling around Australia together, enjoying the beauty of this country of ours and create marvelous memories and have new experiences together, the 3rd main aspect was to meet and minister to people as we travelled Australia, connect with people and churches and pastors, help where we can, share the LOVE of God by chatting with people. God told us to go where HE wanted us to go, and say what HE wanted us to say, and so we did...we stood at the edge of the cliff and we JUMPED and GOD was right there to catch us.

Our step of faith has been FAR more of everything than we ever imagined. We have had MANY ups and some hard, challenging times throughout this journey, yet GOD has walked with us the entire time. God has used EVERYTHING in this journey to grow and strengthen us individually and as a family, HE has led us to the right people who have encouraged and supported us, and HE has led us to those HE has wanted us to both encourage and support. We have been able to minister to many, many people. We have shared about God, Church, Christian life and we have given out many, many resources (THANKS to Pastor Shane at Portland church who on 2 occasions provided us with over 150 resources of books and discs). We have prayed for people, brought people to church, some people have given their lives to GOD right there and then, others we know that we have given a helping hand to direct them onto the right path in building a relationship with God. We have had the privilege of sharing Gods beautiful love with others while enjoying sooo much wonderful family time, strengthening our bonds, and meeting many people along the way, whilst enjoying exploring this beautiful, beautiful country of ours...What a JOY, What a Privilege, What a Life, I LOVE it :-)

We have spent a FANTASTICALLY, WONDERFUL year beach hopping, book reading, people ministering, ice cream eating, church hopping, homeschooling, library hopping, people meeting, pool dipping, sunset/sunrise watching, people loving, sight seeing, photo taking, national park walking, waterfall hopping, star gazing, B.B.Qing and so, so, so many other wonderful experiences have filled our days and nights all over our beautiful Australia. We have made a heap of new friends, and met so many different kinds of people, we have made many connections with many churches, this experience has so far truly given us far more than we had ever given up...that reminds me, before we left Sunbury, Victoria I remember thinking about all the things we were giving up to make this journey possible and I clearly remember hearing God tell my heart...What lies ahead is far greater than what you leave behind, WAAAHHOOOOOOO...I wholeheartedly, 100% agree...Thank You God, I LOVE YOU xoxox

Life is SOOOOOOO GOOOD...I LOVE it, I LOVE God, I LOVE my Family...We are happy, we are content, we are full with Love from God and others...Life is so, so, so Good xo

Thank you to everyone who has followed our faith led journey for the last 12 months. Thank You to everyone who has prayed for us, and supported our journey, we THANK YOU and LOVE YOU xox
As we continue on this journey, as different doors continue to open, as we minister and share Gods LOVE, as we enjoy ourselves and this wonderful country of ours, I hope you continue to follow our journey and feel even a little inspired to love your loved ones more, seek God wholeheartedly, live the life you want to live, SMILE and have a Laugh...LIFE is GOOD, Live it to the fullest...I DARE YOU xoxox 
Love Dimi, Shane, Elissa, Serena xoxoxoxox

Cloncurry Community Christmas Festival...

Myself and the girls went to the Cloncurry community Christmas festival. Shane was at work but joined us at the park across the road from woolworths (Shane works for woolworths) for his dinner break.

Merry Christmas...

One of the Christmas stalls...

Lots of Laughs...

We only found out about this event the afternoon before it was to take place, it wasn't very well advertised or planned, however, we didn't mind, we just all really enjoy being part of community events whether big or small, so it was great to be able to go and enjoy the evening!

There were some market stalls on in the community hall a short walk from the park in the same main street. We had a look around and had a chat with the locals. We went back and forth from the market stalls and the park. The elves entertained people, and there were some Christmas carols on. We were also pleasantly surprised when we went to purchase some sausages in bread, steak sandwich and drinks to find that they were all for free, bonus!

Shane went back to work after his 1 hour break and myself and the girls stayed and enjoyed the small community event until 9pm when we had to pick Shane up from work. It was a small event, yet we managed to remain and have a good time for over 5 hours. The girls made some friends and spent quite some time running around with them and playing hide and seek.
We went back the next morning so Shane could also check out the market stalls. The girls caught up with their new friends for a few hours while Shane and I chatted with some locals and met an Anglican Pastor who we had a chat with and who invited us to another combined Christmas event, YAY!
I love community events and meeting the locals :-)

Hoping all is well in your world...Take care xo

Cloncurry Art Gallery...

The girls wanted to check out the art gallery here in Cloncurry, Queensland. It is right beside the Cloncurry Library. We were able to check out the artwork of the local high school students. The girls found some of the artwork very interesting.
Check it out...

It was quite interesting to see the artwork and read about some of the meanings of the artworks. The girls enjoyed it :-)

I hope everyone is well xo Take Care xo
