On the throne...

By
We have been stewards of this property for 6 1/2 years and and for all that time we have needed extra soil to landscape around the house and finish the shed site.  This is not as easy a task as it first might sound.  Firstly, we are needing over a hundred tonne of dirt and secondly, the sheer distance makes it too expensive to pay for cartage.  Thankfully Father YHVH is on the throne and all the earth is His - including land fill!

After responding to an ad on Gumtree I had a road contractor come and visit this morning.  His crew are working up in the Hills and will have semi trailer loads of soil to deliver for free.  It will have some small bits of road base in it but as we are using it for fill around the house and shed floor that shouldn't be too much of an issue.  Needless to say there was a spontaneous offering of thanksgiving!


Yesterday Tiffany and Nathan brought the boys up and Riley enjoyed his 'motorbike' ride and some kite flying.  It was lovely to see them all enjoying Hebron's open spaces and perfect kite flying conditions.  I'm so looking forward to Sukkot when Hebron will enjoy the community being together - sounds of praise, chatting, laughing and kids playing, all coming together to form a sweet incense to YHVH. 

As we prepare ourselves for the coming of YHVH, keeping alert to the signs and the seasons, it is the strength of fellowship and community that matures, protects and hones us.  The wisdom of YHVH in stipulating that His people come together at these times is to be celebrated.  Do we have a heart to hear and obey?  Yes!  Are we evolving and tweaking our understanding of times and days?  For sure.  Do we allow small differences of interpretation separate us?  Absolutely not.  I'm forever grateful that in this journey of faith He has moved us out of the church system, through a time of individual searching and renewal and then into fellowship with like-minded believers. 






Seeing the trees that we planted blossom into a beautiful yellow display is a source of great pleasure at the moment.  Each year our trees grow and provide beauty and shelter, each year the property develops into a more sustainable operation and each year our appreciation, understanding and application of YHVH's Word matures.

Shalom.

Moedim Preparations

By
Spring Festival Preparations For us in the southern hemisphere Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot falls in spring.  I might be biased but I think we're pretty blessed to have the new year begin when there's new life and blossom appearing.  On the other hand the weather and wind can be a unpredictable but hey, it keeps it real for Sukkot! This year there's the anticipation of celebrating Sukkot and all that it prophetically points to, but there is a longing to fellowship with our Father and bless Him, listen to Him and enjoy His family. Yakira and I have been excited with the very real expectation that for us there will be a freshness and new life so we have been busy making sure the fellowship home and gardens reflect this.   So we not only make physical preparations but we prepare our hearts.  Yom Teruah has been, Yom Kippur is upon us and Sukkot is before us.  Looking forward to seeing you all drive through our gates!

Misty Moments

By
 July 2023 I've had a long hiatus in updating the blog but after some prompting I thought I'd pop up a short video.  Yakira and I took some short clips of some of us and we'll do that regularly from now on.  Every month our fellowship meets at Hebron to worship, to honour Shabbat, to enjoy each other's company and to maintain and develop the property.  Those who can stay overnight so we can have more time to be together.  It may seem an odd concept for regular church goers but it's entirely natural for us and something we look forward to.   Eating together, hanging out, working and worshipping together all develops relationships, hones personalities and gives the Ruach time to refine and encourage us. This month was a delightful wintery, misty weekend.  We are at the end of the Mount Lofty ranges so when the cloud sits low it's like being in your own private little world.  Brendan and Neal worked on fixing the house water tank and John was relegated to the tract

Sukkot 2023 - The Winter is Past...

By
  The voice of my lover.  Behold, He is coming Leaping over the mountains, springing over the hills My lover is like a gazelle or a young buck among the stags Look!  He is standing behind our wall, gazing through the windows Peering through the lattice. In response my lover said to me, "Get yourself up, my darling my pretty one, and come.  Come! For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over, it's gone. Blossoms appear in the land and the time of singing has come...  Song of Songs 2 *   *   * What a blessed time we had over Sukkot here at Hebron.  A few weeks before the start of the festival I was impacted by the understanding that our Creator and Father anticipates meeting with His children more than we anticipate meeting with Him.  His love, His desire to meet with us individually and as a fellowship far surpasses ours, to a degree that it is impossible for us to comprehend.  And meet with Him we did. The moed are His.  His appointments with people who call on His Name, ob
