Monsoon

After an hour tutorial, I spent the afternoon at Burleigh Heads Beach. After a long bus ride of unsure turns, we arrived to what is now our favorite beach so far. Standing on the coastline, if you look to the left you can see the tall buildings of Gold Coast and to your right you can see rocks spilling over a cliff into the green ocean. I still can't believe that I'm actually here. I told myself that the beach would be a good indication of the reality of Australia, but the beach makes it even more unbelievable.

I was woken up from my nap by Kerry's pointing to the sky in the distance. A dark cloud was hanging over  moving steadily toward us. Since we had never experienced a storm in Australia before, we thought it best to catch the bus and head home. Heading to Robina, it began to downpour. It was like a monsoon! At the Robina Town Centre bus stop we had to take of our thongs (flip flops) to keep from slipping and run into the mall. 

I am surprised at the secular culture of Australia. Given the most beautiful beaches in the world with some of the most powerful rains (at times) a question to whether or not God exists is senseless. 

"O LORD, our LORD, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!"
