How true is the scripture that says, "if you don't praise Him, the rock will soon cry out..."

Meeting people and going places have been very refreshing in connecting us deeper to a Mighty God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth.

A drive along Tasmania is like strolling along the Art Gallery of Heaven...canvas of paintings by the Artist of All spreaded all over. A simple lush green plains hovered by the serene blue sky was so soothing to me as I passed patches upon patches of such views...as though a spread of custom designed quilt covered over the earth.

Chrisa picked her first fallen leaf the first day we arrived in Melbourne. She's never got enough of those leaves ever since. "Look I got the biggest leaf,"- she showed us as she sat on the big leaf pile in Salamanca Market, Hobart, Tasmania. Fallen leaves reminds me of the changing season; from the old to the new. As I prepare to rest and hibernate in the winter, I also anticipate spring soon - the glorious blooms.

The Nut, at Stanley, Tasmania stands strong and unmovable for more than 13 million years. The steep climb to this volcanic core was strenous and beats going to the gym. The perseverance and hard work paid off as we didn't just get to our destination to have a breathtaking view from above, but also bumped into Ed's old friend's dad, Graham Wells. So that connected him to his friend, Wanita. Many difficult challenges in life have multiple purposes. They don't just get us to our destination but we have surprises along the way.

It is from above that we can see better...looking down along the steep path up The Nut. It is a matter of perspective. Where am I looking from? My limited eyeview from below if I had decided to stay at the foothill, or be challenged to see from above.

Oh, those cute little sheep! "All we like sheep have gone astray, each of us going our own way..." The sheep needs the good Shepherd.




We came out from Ashgrove Cheese Factory and we went, "Woah, look at that!" It was the most beautiful rainbow we've seen. A full spectrum of colours clearly and beautifully splashed across the blue sky. We could only capture half of it here with our basic camera. No complaints. The image captured in our mind will be impressed deeply for a long time. God's promises are FULL - complete and abundant.

This is a breathtaking panoramic view of Cradle Mountain (Tasmania) overlooking Dove Lake. I stood in awe of His Majesty.




When one comes to the edge of something - a cycle, a challenge, a crisis...what happens? Here we stood at Edge of the World, Arthur River, we came face to face to the Supreme One who holds all things together.

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" (Matthew 6:26) Bird-watching at the lakeside in Tassie.

Extremely thrilled at Mt. Wellington, Hobart at the first sight and feel of snow falling down. We went with full expectation to see snow although winter has not officially begun, and many people doubt we will be successful. We asked our Father for this birthday gift for 9 year-old Ash. How prompt the good Father responded! It started to snow immediately we parked our car and got down!! Amazing. Chrisa collected some evidence in her palms and greeted Ash with one hand at a time, "This is from me, and this is from God." HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASH! Divinely delightful.
