Beginning of Months For You ....

By
Exodus 12: 1  Now YHVH said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2“This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.

 I find it interesting that YHVH said "to you".  Not to the nations around, but to His chosen people, Israel.  This lunar calendar sets apart those who keep His ways and reminds them cyclically and constantly that the Messiah is YHVH's redemptive love to mankind and it is through Him alone that salvation is entered into.  How merciful, how amazing and what wisdom!


Next week we will be gathering here at Hebron to celebrate Pesach, giving thanks for Yeshua our Messiah.  What a blessing that we can come together as a family on the property that we are stewards for.  For those who are able we will be staying overnight and enjoying part of the special sabbath together.  

Hebron homestead has 8 huge bedrooms with bedding for 25 people, 3 large living areas and 3 bathrooms so plenty of room for our little community.  And that's not counting the pull out beds and caravans!  


 One of the aims for Hebron is for it to have the ability to sustain us should we have need.  To this end I enjoy keeping chooks in my hotch potch chook pen and and growing a few veges.  I'm inspired to develop the vege garden and would love to see it producing boxes of veges every week.

Lately my veges, eggs and meat have come from Hebron....one less reason to go into town!

We sent off a trailer load of wethers to the market earlier this month.  Unfortunately the price was so poor that I was quite dejected.  This has given us the opportunity to discuss continuing with the Damara flock and if we do then perhaps we need to market and sell the lamb ourselves rather than be at the mercy of the saleyards.  

Even though the last six months has been very dry our flock has done extremely well and the Damara breed have proven their worth in that regard.  However, we do pray for the seasonal rains to come during April and replenish the soil and provide good pasture.
Being tied to the land and climate, apart from being a wonderful balm for the soul, has the added blessing of being reliant on our Creator and keeping us in touch with His calendar. 

May we all be blessed in Yeshua as we look forward to Pesach next week!

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...

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.

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 ...
