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.

Sukkot 2024

By
The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was. It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list.  But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged. There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai.  Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with.  Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though. Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year.  Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body. The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the ...

Blessed Dry Times

By
In Australia it's summer time.  In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well.  This is not unusual for our part of the country.  It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations.  The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season.  I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work.  Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December.  Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though!

Sheep of His Pasture

By
The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock.  The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately.  Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock.   So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well.  Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.
