Be Spontaneous

Surprise yourself!!

I just realised, I have lived my whole life like this.

No New Year Resolutions.
I just do it!
As long as I am not hurting someone else.

When returning to live in Australia with American hubby Ray,
we decided to travel around Oz.
So before settling in our home, we bought a caravan..
And off we went...

It was a different life.

Cruising the outback

Camping where it took our fancy.

Meeting wonderful people.

And eating when and how we liked.

                            Wherever the birds are, you will find Ray.
                             I'm sure they recognise him and pose..



                    "Hi Ray, forget the rest of them and make me your star."

                   Native birds,cockatoos here, travel alone or in huge flocks.

There is nothing as beautiful or serene than sunset with the light fading and the birds flying in.

                     Peace be still.....tranquility, early morn in a Caravan Park.

Look like gravestones?? Not so!

They are termite nests.

It's amazing how these insects know to build their nests with the narrow sides facing towards the sun. Limiting heat.

It took God to organise such an incredible fete.

Evolutionists have no explaination?????

You can't imagine how tall they are unless you stand beside them.

Ray (on right) is 5'10" so that gives you an idea.

It may also surprise you to know, these are formed from fecal matter.

With so much to see and do, it makes one ponder.

How can anyone dispute the validity of a creator God?

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you."

Isaiah 60:1

Australia Day 26th January

Happy Australia Day 26th January.

Spain first discovered Australia and called it...

The Great South Land of The Holy Spirit.

A Song goes like this:

This is our nation, this is our land
This is our future, this is our hope.
A land of reaping, a land of harvest
This is our land, this is our home.
This is the Great South-land Of the Holy Spirit.
A land of red dust plains.
And summer rains.
To this sunburnt land we will see a flood
And to this Great South-land His Spirit comes.

Thinking......Thoughts. ???

Do you have bad thoughts?

Do you feel angry at others?

Do you allow these thoughts to rule your day?

If so, you will be a slave to an ugly mind.

It will rule you and ruin you.

It will take away your joy of life.

For the God who created us and knows this wrote.

"A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things:
And an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
 Matthew 12:35

BAD things can happen to GOOD people.
Jesus himself was an example of this.

He gave of Himself in every way.
Even dying a horrific death, paying the price of sin for us.
Yet many still deny Him.....
Use His name as a swear word.
Tell jokes about Him.
Laugh about Him....

Yet For those who love Him.
He gives a change of heart.
And with that change of heart..
Comes peace..
It flows through you like a river..
It cleanses and re freshens..~~~

"Finally, brothers, whatever is True,
whatever is Noble, whatever is Right,
whatever is Pure, whatever is Lovely,
whatever is Admirable--
If anything is Excellent or Praiseworthy--
Think about Such Things." Philippians 4:8


        

"You Raise Me Up" by Celtic Women

A Very Special Verse of Wisdom and Encouragement.

Proverbs 3: 5-6
Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart..
Lean NOT On Your Own Understanding
In All Yor Ways Acknowledge Him!
And He, Will Direct Your Paths....~`~`~

The Joy of The Lord

Nehemiah 8:10
"This day is holy to our Lord.
Do not grieve,
for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Last Sunday I attended church for the first time in two weeks.
It was a joy to be there.
I sung my heart out.
Coming out I enjoyed to greet other bretheran.
I was feeling great!
I got myself a cup of coffee...
Then I began to feel ill again..
It is quite frightening!
All I wanted to do was to go home.

I feel safe in the comfort of my own place.
There is a recliner to sit back in and put my legs up.
This facilitates circulation back to the heart.

Over the last thirty one years I have received healing for my heart many times.

Will I again this time?
I have been prayed for by many..

It's a problem in the heart electrical system.

STILL..
I laugh, and why not!
It's very good exercise for the chest and heart.

I will not grieve..
For the Joy of the Lord
IS my Strength.
Much love to all.

No Words

The floods, the clean up, are beyond words.
There is so much devastation it will go on for weeks.

I have put up the YouTube below to show the amazing effects from Floods in this country.
Much of the water makes its way to central Australia.
It fills an area the size of France, Italy and Germany combined.
WOW...then this becomes known as Lake Eyre...

Lake Eyre in the Australian Outback fills with water

Sunshine and Dedication

My blog isn't working properly??
However, the sun is shining and life goes on.
Thank you to the many friends who have written and prayed.
The birds are back once more and singing happily.
Looking out, one would not imaging anything but a beautiful world.
There is much cleaning up of debris after the floods.

This is the photo of Jordan Rice, a thirteen year old boy who put his brothers safety before his own.

On the roof of their car with floods whirling all around,Jordan had the chance to be saved.
He declined saying, "take my brother first."
When the rescuer turn back to help him and his mother, they were gone, lost in the water surge. Disappeared!

Jordan was afraid of water, yet in his final moment his love for his brother came first.

The hurt of many, goes very deep.

Even our little dog Monty has felt sad?
All he wanted was to sleep on dad's lap.

It's a good thing he can't read or his feelings might be hurt, but He looks funny with two missing bottom teeth.

Even in heart break there is always something funny to lighten the load.

Flood Update

Just to give an update on the floods here in my state of Queensland.

As previously informed. Queensland is two and a half time the size of Texas.
Yes, its a huge state!!
At this time where I live in the middle section of the state known at the Sunshine Coast, there has been no rain for two days now, BUT, we are still flooded.
And we are still cut off. No food supplies in.
Our capitol of Brisbane is now under deluge.
All in all 75% of this state is under water and approximately 100,000 homes.
It is devastating and many of the News Readers look as if they have been crying.

Before flood photo of one Pizza restaurant.

Now flooded.

Just under the window, it has risen.

Telsta Telecommunications and a Real estate Office almost under water.

Then completely under

The main Highway looks like a river. light poles are reflected in the water.

 

Rascals Restaurant and hotel.

Reflections in the water make it look pretty. It makes you cry.

Thank God it is school holidays otherwise many parents would likely be searching for children.

Last night my grandson Elyshah 16yrs rang me from New South Wales where he is holidaying to find out if we were safe.

He lives here also, so I am very glad he is away and safe.

                      Elyshah, Joel and Luke, grandsons. All six foot and over.

Elyshah informed me that many are predicting the end of the world in 2012??
I informed him, that the end comes anyhow, at the time of our death!!
whenever that may be???
(Yes I do believe, there will be an 'End of theWorld')
None of us know, the day or the hour.
When a catastrophe hits, it gives a wake-up call.

Where do you stand in relation to your belief???
My heart falls when a person answers, I believe in evolution.
I say this to them.....
If I am wrong, then I have lost nothing...
But if you are wrong you face eternity separated from God and love.


WAKE-UP!!

The Day and Hour Unknown

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 

 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.

That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 
Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 
 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.    
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
(Matthew 24: 36-44)

None of us know the day or the hour of our death!!
AND THAT IS THE END OF THE WORLD!!
For myself, I look forward to meeting the Lord.
Being embraced and welcomed into Glorious Heaven.
No more pain or sadness. No more hurt.
I, and my family are safe. Power is off to many.
We have problems connecting to the Internet.
We have problems staying connected!!
Please forgive me not responding as much as I'd like.

*SHIARN IS A STAR* Happy Birthday Today

We are still flooding...BUT....

Happy Birthday 11th Jan 2011.
To Shiarn...
You and Mummy didn't make it it home due to the floods.
BUT, you are safe and sound. 
Here are some memories from Nanni to you. 

You were a very tiny baby, born six weeks before your time.
You have kept on growing ever since.

Here you are with your big cousin Kirra.
When you were smaller.

Soon you grew big enough to go to school.

                     You have fun running with the chooks.

And holding them.

You like to find out about nature.

Even a green tree snake.

Just love the Pirate train with Mummy.

AND..... RAT...(oh no)

You still like to be picked up and held by Benj, Kirra's new husband.

But in the end,

Your greatest happiness is...

 taking little cousin Izaiah 

on a walk of discovery.

 "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

                'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
                  before you were born I set you apart;' " 
                 Jeremiah 1:4-5

H A pp y  B i r t h d a y

From 2 little birds who live at your home...

Who know you and love you.

Together with us they send you hugs and kisses today.

Hope to see you soon. x x

We Love You. * ~ *

 

Kangaroos flee flood

Floods In My Town

Rain fall continues heavy with over 2ooml over 24 hrs.
Highway is cutting off. Semi's can't get through.

Huge shopping center back view.

Shops

The Soccer Oval with club house.

'Albert' Town Park and Skate Park 

And its still rising.

Hubby Ray ventured out to take these this morning.

The main street of town is expecting to go under by this afternoon.

As yet the river at the side of the town has not peeked. 

Everyone is safe.

Psalm 91

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

HAARP WEAPON OF DESTRUCTION

COULD THIS BE THE REASON FOR DIVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS??

FOR OUR SEVERE FLOODS IN AUSTRALIA???

FOR THE HEAVY SNOW FALLS WORLD WIDE????

IT IS A THOUGHT TO CONSIDER...

IS MAN TRYING TO BE GOD????

AND WILL THIS LEAD TO DESTRUCTION??????

The Big Wet * Queensland Floods

Australia is a Country, Island and a Continent.
Many people do not realise the size of it.

It is approximately the size of the United States.
Yet we have fewer states.
Queensland as you will see in the map is a large state.
With an area of 1,727,000 square kilometres
Queensland is the second largest state in Australia, exceeded only in size by Western Australia.
Queensland is nearly five times the size of Japan.
Seven times the size of Great Britain.
And,  two and a half times the size of Texas.

At this present time, two thirds of Queensland is under water, and it is raining hard again.
We live in a flood zone.
However, as yet, our town has missed the floods.
Yet it may only be a matter of time.

Recent Weather Warnings

Flood Warning - Condamine-Balonne Rivers
Flood Warning - Fitzroy River
Severe Weather Warnings

I don't like floods, I grew up with them.

However, its best to see the positive side.

How wonderful it is to have today's technology and be pre warned.

We have much to be thankful for.

Not so our wild life.

"God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging."
Psalm 46: 1-3

New Years Day In The Sun

After all the rain it is a thrill to have the sun back and shining.
Too much of any particular weather pattern can be too much.

We took our time driving back to Queensland from New South Wales.
Along the way we stopped off at Corinda for a break and a stroll.

                    I love the blueness of the Pacific Ocean. (Facing south)

The children are on their Christmas vacation.
So famillies camp on the hilltop.
Everyone enjoys a relaxed happy time.
(Facing East)

One holiday maker informed me of a family of dolphins which reside here and swim with those they trust.
He had the pleasure of a baby dolphin accompany him that morning.
(Facing North)

A seagull looks for tit bits and keeps a close eye on me.

What a beatiful world we live in. 

 Psalms 1–1-3

Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates on his law day and night.


That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season

Glorious New Year 'Beach Wedding'

Happy New Year to all my beloved brothers and sisters in-Christ.

A beautiful sister, who has overcome much adversity from the enemy
has been lifted higher by the Lord. HALLELUJAH!!

She has a new spiritual head in a new husband......(so perfect)
We were thrilled to attend their wedding in northern New South Wales on New Year's Eve... 
The weather rained all that week,
then dawned fine for the day before, and the day.
We journeyed seven hours to arrive at Nambucca.
Unsure if we'd have to turn back due to floods.
But God led the way.

C wasn't sure if this was a dream or real.  

Yes Princess C, daughter of the Most High King!

It is Real.

Your Prince H, has come.

Riding on the wings of God's love.. 

To sustain you both.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:2

All others in their life up until this time, are placed second, compared to each other.

The Word of God plainly speaks....

And so a covenant with God has been made.

Now for the Blessing. 

“The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

And for Us....we also experienced the joy of seeing daughter Daniella in the same area, visiting with her childhood best friend Nicala.
Pictured with their chicks.

 The car is an Australian Holden Classic from the 1960's.

       "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice."
         Phillipians 4:4

 

"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever,
I will sing, I will sing.....! "
