Day 5 (19.3.2011) - Sydney Aquarium and Darling Harbour!

19 Mar 2011 was our last day of Color Conference 2011 and yes, I miss all the amazing preachers, including the awesome worship band.

In the morning, we had Ps Craig preached about "Masterpiece".

1) With Christ, you are God's masterpiece!

Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
a) You are created for the master's purpose
b) You have everything you need to do everything God wants you to do.
2 Peter 1:3
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
c) God uses everything in your life to bring about His purpose
d) If you don't like yourself, let God remake you

Later on, the legend Jeanne Mayo brings a powerful message about "God's waiting room".

John 5
1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

1) You can often get what you are looking for right where you are - if you stand upon the INSIDE and TAKE IT.
2) Like Ruth, inventory the good things in your life. Then give yourself away to someone or something in your present situation. Celebrating something in your present is often the key to something in your future.
3) Like Joseph, we can began to develop the character traits in our present that will be needed in our future.

You can be QUEEN when your attitude reflects the present!
A title cannot give a true authority, but character can!
All that you want in your future will be achieved by faithfulness in your present!
Happiness is an inside job-develop character in your present that's needed in your future!

I just love watching these amazing women of God preached! In the afternoon, we had a quick walk to Darling Harbour and we bought 3 passes for Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Wildlife Park and Sydney SkyTower. We covered Sydney Aquarium only for the whole afternoon as we needed to rush back by 6pm for the night session.

While waiting for us to finish our morning session, this was her with her INTERNET! Seems like these days, we can't survive without having the access to internet. =D

And Justin... loves to enjoy himself! haha!

After lunch, we thought of just hopping onto the monorail to get to darling harbour, and we thought it is cheaper. But surprisingly, one way ticket is $4.50! If $4.50 x 4 then it's already $18 and darling harbour is just so near to the sydney entertainment centre. We decided to just get a taxi and the meter came up to only $6. Sooooo much more cheaper!

Sydney Aquarium!









Initially I thought this was a leaf, but it's a leafy sea dragon!




You can even choose to ride on this "bottom glass boat" to have a closer with with the sharks. Sharks are just below you!! But it's all in a big aquarium, not in the middle of the sea.

We had our snacks time after the tour in the sydney aquarium. We walked around Darling Harbour and my MIL decided to have cruise the next day! wow...


And we booked the lunch cruise which cost $70 per person. The lunch cruise will pass by the sights of Sydney Harbour such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Fort Denison, Luna Park and Sydney's million dollar waterfront mansions. Visit their official website for more info.

Can you see Darlene? I've finally got the chance to see her THIS NEAR! Haha..

This was the closing ceremony of our last day of Color Conference. In the night, we had Lisa Bevere preached about "History Maker". We need to be women who learns to sit down and make history, learn to be an influence! Do not lose your perspective, you need to be on high alert! And then Christine Caine stepped up and she summarizes the entire Color Conference with a powerful message! What a great conference...



And finally, we had our dinner after the conference at Ajisen Ramen! Very nice japanese food... =)
