Some fun and beauty from Australia I wanted to share with you. Some of the things I take pictures of mainly because they make me laugh. The first time I saw these rice bubbles I thought it was so strange. Why can't we all just call them the same things?
In almost every post you will see of me I will be sweating I just wanted to tell you that now. The thing that came to my mind when I realized that this is the way of life here in Australia is how the heck do people fall in love? Then I realized that this is the best way to fall in love I mean if they can love you when you are sweating buckets and buckets they must be in it for the long haul.
This bird is called a Peewee bird and there are heaps of them here. They kinda remind me of our seagulls because they are so sneaky and all of a sudden they are there wanting whatever type of food you have to offer them.
One of the funny things about Australia is that they just let their old war ships and stuff just sit in the water and rust until it sinks. I think it's very strange. You would think that it would make more sense to just pull it out but its so much safer to just leave it in. I was told that it is so much work because the bottom is really murky around them and to go through all the work of getting around the sharks, crocs, stingers and rays its not worth it.
Just another beautiful scenic picture that I wanted so share with you. More to come.

Lord you are good and your mercy endureth forever

Hey Mates! Some of you were pesting me to start a blog so here we go! I am currently living in the top end of Australia in Darwin and loving it. Things here are so different from the states and it's great. I am going to be posting some of my photos and will continue to add them to my facebook too so keep yourself connected with me if you wish. Today was an especially great day and I want to share with you what God has done in my life already since I have been here. I came over to work as a nanny with a family who it ended up was NOT a good match for me as a person. I had gotten connected with a great church and right off the bat I had prayed that God would give me the words to let the people in the church know I was in bad straights and needed some serious prayers which of course he did. The first week I went a woman offered me a room in her house that is her daughters who is away at uni. I wasn't sure if I needed it right away but it turned out that a week later when I had begun to be blamed for things that were not my doing God told me it was time to get out of the situation. Anyway I called her up and she said come on over. A really great couple came and rescued me from the house and I ate dinner with them at their home until she got home. That evening this couple had made plans to go to the cinema and when I got there they changed their plans and took me to mud racing and as all of you know that is right up my alley! It was a blast and I got some pretty good pictures from it. Also as a side note Darwin is known for its beautiful sunsets which for me is a perfect way for me to remember the creativeness of my maker and the beauty He puts in our lives every day if we just take the time to notice these things. Anyway after leaving the family and moving in with the woman from my church I went to work with her to see if I could get myself a new job. Of course lots of hoops to jump through and a lot of things that I should have done before I got here in Aus but I got them done today and by the end of the day I had a job! I had prayed that God would provide for me and He knows my needs and it didn't even take Him 24 hours to do that for me! Jehovah Jireh for certain. I wanted to share what God is doing in my life over here so keep the prayers coming and I will be updating you as much as I possibly can on the happenings down under. Goal for next month which I have been told should be pretty easy to accomplish is to get to hand feed a roo! I can't wait and don't worry I will have my camera ready. I can't wait to post more for you but this is it for now. I am off to have some fish and chips which up here in the NT (Northern Territory) the selected fish of the day is shark since there is an overabundance of them. Love to you all. Enjoy some of these photos and I will add more soon! Ta I must go.
