How cool is this??!!

It's our family's first time to go on a movie date in an indoor theatre and it was great! Caleiya had a wonderful time sitting in her own chair & munching on popcorn while Caiden was just an angel on Daddy's lap, slept almost half of the movie duration & watched silently the other half.

Thank You, Lord!!!

Sing

♪♫ There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall… ♪♫

Our Year of Wondrous Beginnings

We are starting a new chapter of life--as a family and individuals. We leave beautiful Port Douglas after 2years of residency there and moving back to Brisbane.

The Lord has always shown Himself faithful & true to His promises and we praise Him! He has surrounded us with wonderful friends & brethren who have given us the gift of friendship & delightful memories as keepsakes. We shall miss you all & will keep you all in our prayers. Onwards we go as we follow-thru God's direction for us back in Brisbane!

Vine & Branches

(John 15:4-5 AMP)

⁴ Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. 

⁵ I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.  

Dinosaur

Sunday service just finished and everyone's on their way to get some snacks & refreshments. All of a sudden, my little girl exclaimed at what she just saw on the wall...

"Mommy!!! Ohhhhh!!! Dinosaur!!!

This is Amazing Grace

♪♫ Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy ♪♫

Offering & Sacrifice

[Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV]

"Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."

Justice, Mercy & Love

[Micah 6:8 NIV]
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
