Hi Everyone,
We are back from our honeymoon! Past 2 weeks had been very happening. And here I am again to record it down and share them with you.
During our 12 days Western Australia honeymoon trip, we traveled and lived 5 different states. From Fremantle-> Margaret river->Albany->Swan valley->Perth. Weather was cooling, place was beautiful, food was delicious. But what makes our trip more memorable is the company that we are with. Let me explain further.

Happiness ≠ “not about where” you are
Happiness = “but about whom” you are with
Fremantle was a gorgeous looking place where all the beautiful boats harbor were. The fish and chip was nice. But all are nothing compare to my "brother", Ding Xin whom in God's prefect timing was placed there to become our host. Chatting with him, tasting his cooking skill, shopping for the cheapest deal at supermarket...etc was the happiest time we had when we were at Fremantle and Perth. Feels like a family.
This theory proves once again when we were at Albany. Albany was a beautiful place where one can admire the wonders of God's wise creation. The raging sea that forms "the nature bridge" through the cliff and the gigantic fan structures that are able to turn the power of wind into the electricity that power up this laptop. All these "attraction" does amazed us... for a while and after a few click from my camera, we were back in the car again. What causes us to miss that place is the church we went. It's called the Albany family church or another name is the Foursquare Gospel church.
The way they welcome us there, the hot BBQ which they invited us on a chilling night...etc made us feel like home. They also invited is to share our testimony as they longed to hear testimony from people from other parts of the world. I remember during the sharing about my "happening 1 year" testimony of what God had done in my life, my wife and my father, some of their eyes became watery. Tears of happiness I might say because all of us know that God had done His amazing works in people's life once again, "lost sheep" had found its way home. Being with them really feels like "home".
Therefore, simple conclusion, "where" you go is not really important but "whom" you are with or going to meet is the key. From that I can also understand why people commented, "Christian is not a religion but a relationship with God". For God knows, going to Heaven is not about going to a beautiful carefree place but about being in the presence of our God forever. “Relationship matters”.
