Chris Tomlin- "Hello Love" Concert

Hey Everyone,

Tonight I was privileged to be able to attend the "Hello Love" concert at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids MI. It was a fantastic night, with Israel Houghton and New Breed kicking the night off. Israel led the whole audience in hymns/Chroruses of praise to the Lord. Chris Tomlin then came out with Sing,Sing,Sing as his starting song...For everyone that attended the Passion Conference, you would understand the volume of the bass!! lol, it was a fantastic start, and the choice of VariLite's (moving heads) for all of the lighting came in handy for louder sections (including the start and finish of the Concert)---This meant that they could have light beams flying around the whole venue. (In all different colours). Chris sang the majority of his Hello Love album, with the addition of Blessed Be You Name and How Great Is Our God. Overall, it was a fantastic night filled with worship to the Lord!

Below are some pictures and short video clips from the night. (not all taken by me, but still the same concert)

Fireproof (the movie)

fireproofbanner

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share this trailer with you guys...I have just recently watched this movie, and it is an amazing story of a married couple who are being faced with divorce, but God works in their hearts throughout the movie. It was definately a challenge to me, because it doesnt only apply to married couples but also to a persons walk with Christ. This Film was made by Sherwood Baptist, they are the church that created the movie "Facing the Giants". This is a must see! Kirk Cameron acts out the main part, he is a famous actor who became famous originally through the tv show "Growing Pains".

Goodbye's (Last week at Yallup's and Stimmels)

Hey Everyone,

Today was the hardest part of the trip so far, because we had to start saying the goodbye's...Today we had to say goodbye to Stimmels and Grandma and Grandpa Yallup :( I am going to miss them all so much!!
We are returning to Sydney in less than 2 weeks, so there are going to be unfortunately some more goodbyes closer to our departure....

Below are pictures from the past week at the Yallup's and Stimmel's, unfortunately I was unable to get pictures from the Bob Evan's restaraunt trips with Grandpa and Dad, and also the Great food and laughs that I was able to have with Grandma... There are also some videos from grandma and grandpa's house.

I do want to say a huge thankyou to the Stimmels and Yallup's who gave up a lot their time to hang out! Love you all and will miss all of you a lot.
