There are Giants in the Sky!

Before we left Tassie, I took my Oma to her first Gold Class Cinema experience. She loved it.

What we saw was "Into the Woods". 

A blockbuster version of the classic theatre production. 

My children, like most would, got hooked on the catchy songs. 

We got the soundtrack....

... Now we have four children belting out the tunes throughout the day.. 

The point being that this particular part of one song aptly stated how I feel about our travelling.

"There are Giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible Giants
in the sky!

When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you left
And the things you know,
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are..."

Travelling on the mainland has opened up my eyes. To how small I am; how big earth is; how many shops and towns and beaches can exist; that the workload of 5 children is just as much, if not more, than at home; how many diverse people God has made; how frail life is...

I don't need much of a glance to see how small I am. How easily life back home carries on without us. How easily days go by without time to keep in touch. How much work it takes to keep a country running. How many people need to know that God has already paid to have their burdens and troubles removed at no expense to themselves.

There are big tall terrible giants too. Ones we have no choice but to ignore right now. Questions that are not able to be answered; Where will we settle; Will Dunc return to his field or will we do a family business; Will we buy land or a house or rent?

We get asked lots of questions and I often don't really know the answers. 

But this I do know....

There are big tall terrible giants in the sky...and that's okay.... because God is bigger, and He already knows my answers.
