Chasing sunsets



 One of the most majestic of moments in all of creation is a sunset.  I love them more than sunrise, not just because I have seen more of them, but because they are often more vivid.  There is a greater contrast in the colour and the clouds can make the pinks, oranges and reds dance across the sky.

Yesterday, as we were driving west, we had the longest sunset that I can remember.  It wasn’t one that painted the sky red, nevertheless, there was something beautiful about that soft, dusky light that just kept going and going.

Finally, we got beyond that and stopped for the night at Saddle Creek and then drove the last hour to Kununurra this morning.

When flying from Australia to overseas destinations, we have arrived at a time (locally) that was before we departed but this is the first time I’ve had that happen in the country!

It meant that we could make it to church this morning - at the Baptist Church.  Over half were visitors but we enjoyed the message (Daniel 8) and the fellowship there.

We are now working out what parts of the Kimberleys we want to spend some time in and how long we’ll be over in the West.  Will hopefully load some more photos...

Can't go without mentioning that I've had my moments on the trip too - I am not sleeping well and can get short tempered during the day as a result.  Please pray that I will get used to the caravan door banging when the kids go out to the amenities during the night and not wake up each and every time.  Please pray that we will make the most of our time.  We are generally holding up well but there's those times in confined spaces when we don't show our best side...

  1. I would love to sit over a cuppa on you couch and debate sunrise vs. sunsets. *wink* I do agree that they are both glorious reminders of a loving creator!
    I am so enjoying catching up on your adventures and hearing what you have been able to explore, see and do. And just your time together as a family. My mommy heart is full for yours- reading the memories!
