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.

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...

Pesach 2025

By
It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron  for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread.   We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that  Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways.  There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances.  Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free.      So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...
