Recent Qld Trip

Recently, Dave and I took a quick trip to Queensland in the truck to deliver some freight and we were able to catch up with some family as well. 

It was great to catch up and visit and get a small road trip in while we were at it. 

Due to the ice-pack not working in the truck, we were not able to sleep inside the truck so we opted to take along the girls swags and sleep under the stars on the trailer. This was wonderful, staring up at the stars and feeling the breeze on our face as we slept, except, of course, when it rained. 

The first little shower had has quickly moving ourselves to some available picnic tables that worked perfectly, but the second time, it was a torrential downpour out of Barcaldine and there was no under cover space. So after braving it, with our swags pulled over our heads for almost an hour, we realised that the water was pouring in, we were both soaked, and so was every stitch of our bedding, mattresses included, so we moved into the truck. No bedding and a little stuffy but at least dry. 

Anyway, travelling is always an adventure and that's the beauty of it. I love it! 

We crossed some beautiful country and although we'd seen most of it before, I was still soaking it all in and enjoying the view, snapping happily away. 

One of the highlights of the trip was getting to go on a plane ride in a very small plane with Dave's brother. It was absolutely epic and awesome. I love flying and wished we could stay up longer. God's creation never ceases to amaze me. What an awesome God that loves us so much that he created so much beauty all around us. Despite the world's chaos, he gives us little glimpses of heaven in his creation. Boy, won't heaven be absolutely magnificent! 

Psalm 8:3, 9  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; ... O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
