Last week we witnessed the solar eclipse, which of course occurred on this month's new moon. What a brilliant testament to coming reign of our coming King! This week we have also been keeping up to date with the news from Israel and being prayerful on her behalf. These events remind us that these are indeed the last days and we are to remain alert and prepared.
As the days ahead get more difficult we know that Hebron will become a source of provision and refuge, so we continue to be faithful to the vision that Yehovah has set before us, knowing that He provides all the resources, energy and capacity.
This week Brendan was given free piping and grow beds for our aquaponics projects. This has been a long term project and to date we haven't been able to get it underway, however, we now have all the infrastructure necessary to complete the project. Probably after summer we will be able to get this underway. Aquaponics is the perfect solution to producing vegetables in our dry climate.
Today we Pikes visited a homeschooling family who have a 50 acre property at Cromer. They have a very similar vision to ourselves and are working hard to develop their property to become productive and a source of provision to those who will need it in the days ahead. It was very encouraging for them and us as we shared experiences, vision and scriptural understandings. How wonderful to know that only 15 minutes down the road there is a family being faithful to His leadings as well.
The kitchen counter is coming along and this week I'll complete it with a coat of paint and the skirting boards. I'm looking forward to this being completed so I can start on the tiling. I will also get a local cabinetmaker to make two doors to go over the rangehood and then voila, all done.
The young doe has come back to visit and I see her occasionally up at the house early in the morning or down by the dam. She's so skittish but it's lovely to see her when she does venture up close to the house.
Next weekend we will be doing a bit of work around the place. Soon it will be scorching hot so these milder days are more productive and enjoyable for everyone who comes up. Just remember to bring your hats, boots and sock protectors!
Shalom

Hello Hebron affiliates!
ReplyDeleteNathan from Zarephath here. We had a fun time with you on Sunday, sharing our thoughts and visions for the future.
We look forward to further fellowship and a look around your place some time.
It is very encouraging to come across another community of believers who have not forgotten the reminder / warning from Jeremiah 6.
v16: Thus says the LORD: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'
How can we say we are set apart unto God if we are totally dependant on this evil culture to stay alive?
The ancient ways of doing things have been cast aside by western consumer culture, but there is a faithful remnant who have not forgotten the promises of Jehovah nor the way to salvation through His son Jesus. It's a blessing to know there are a group of you trying to come out from dependance on the world just around the corner!
Blessings,
Nathan
Good to 'see' you again Nathan. This is certainly a challenging path to to venture down isn't it, but He who calls us is surely faithful to sustain and provide for us. How blessed are we all to be set apart to this lifestyle and vision. Certainly looking forward to connecting with other like-minded believers who have obeyed the call as Yehovah directs us all in the future.
DeleteBlessings to you, Joy and the clan.
