Wonderful Winter

Celebrating the culmination of Trevor's sixth decade was as good an excuse as any to light a camp fire and enjoy the starry night. Thanks Guac!

Some days I light a small fire and just sit and feel incredibly blessed by the beauty and shalom here at Hebron; snatches of time to be in His presence without the interruptions and demands of life.

Fencing is now a priority and will be on the 'to-do' list for a few months to come. The guys are doing a great job and not only will it facilitate easier flock handling, it adds value to the property.

Even though the paddocks look green we are hanging out for more rain. We received nearly 30ml this month, which is a blessing, but we are preparing for a dry spring and summer and managing our flock size will be very important.

With views like this it's not a bad way to spend a weekend!

When we took ownership of Hebron over 9 years ago there little eaten down saplings, hardly 15cm high. Now they've grown sufficiently to provide a great hiding spot for Yakira!

I've enjoyed planting various garden beds and watching them grow and take shape; a bit like us all really ....

In a couple of months we will be gathering together to celebrate the festival of Sukkot. As we prepare Hebron for celebrations we too are prepared for that final Great Day by entering into the message and beauty of the preceding moed; Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.

Where Your Treasure Is.....

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...

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another. Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future. This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months. The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch. This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...

Sukkot 2025

When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for. It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection. I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet. We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come! We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises. We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful! The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher. Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching YHV...
