It feels like we woke up from a really sweet dream.....but it is a REALITY. Our trip to Australia for 70 days was an incredible testimony of God's act and favour. What else can we say but unceasing thankfulness to the Wonderful Father who always take seriously the needs and delights of His children. A crucial faith lesson. Taken to "a whole nother level"...a famous saying of Pr Ed Young.

Time away has been beyond words. The writings are just glimpses of the great experiences. Deep meanings are written in the hearts. Faith impressed deeply in the spirit cannot be expressed fully with mere words. It needs to be lived out and bear the evidence of God's power.

Well, returning to Penang was quite an adjustment although it was only a short period away. The weather! Oh, that is one major one - all the girls are still screaming "hot, hot"....and dreaming of the cool atmosphere and missing the enjoyment of running in the park at 12 noon! I asked Chrisa, "Do you miss Melbourne?" Without hesitation, she responded, "Of course!" Kids are thinking how nice if they could stay to witness the blooming buds of spring. We are praying for another cycle when we take our next sabbatical - kids will witness the colorful change.

Indeed sabbatical was made for man. R.E.S.T. - Rejoice, Enjoy, Sing, Trust in the Lord.
