Muscle Memory
Some situations take our breathe away. I’m not sure who was more breathless. Myself, or the brumby. Generally speaking, I avoid tests at all costs. But what if the girth wasn’t actually the test? What if the real test was found in the much smaller moments? Well before the girth was done up. The presence…
Beautiful Strangers
It’s been a big year. One could say, a year of the unexpected. A year of circumstances that seem to be happening to us, but we still maybe aren’t quite convinced they are real. Somehow we have taken a peek, “Through the looking glass” to a world that suddenly appears recognisable, yet unfamiliar, and upside…
Things I Have Learnt….
The less you are treated like a friend, the more you learn how to be one. Yard work always feels more productive than house work. Life is noisy. Social media is noisier. Remember to look up. It makes you feel small. Humility is shy. It’s easier to offer help than to accept it. When you…
My Secret To Perfect Fruit
While they lived with us in their caravan, Herman and Sharon planted some fruit trees for us. A lime, a lemon, a mandarin and an orange tree. Picking mandarins off this tree is almost like picking lollies, only hanging on a branch. They are so beautifully sweet and juicy and the perfect snack without going…
THE SECRET
For some of you, you have known a life time. For others, including us, we have known only recently. In the short time since Christmas, amongst a rollercoaster of emotions, we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Johnny. Corey’s biological Father. Some people say it doesn’t change anything. And it doesnt, but it also does.…
Do You Feel It?
Horses are better than any person I know. They don’t care what others think. Their humility is grounding. They always speak the truth, even when you don’t want to hear it. They forgive quickly, luckily. When you trust them without measure, you’ll wonder why you ever doubted. They are patient with my hard and hurried…
Imposter
Have you ever felt like an imposter? Like you don’t belong? Like someone will come along and say, you’re not really who you say you are? Thoughts or feelings don’t line up with your actions? Your past is a bit shady, you don’t have all the qualifications or maybe you type about the things of…
Fear or Discomfort?
The Oxford dictionary states that fear is: “An unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm.” Fear is an emotion that is driven by our thoughts and displays itself through our behaviour. When we travelled Australia in 2020, I will never forget four wheel driving up the side of a VERY STEEP,…
“Image Bearer” (Part One)
This is Hannah. Her mum, Pauline, is a beautiful friend of mine and she is the extremely talented photographer who took this photograph. Hannah is the same age as Cody and with the passing time, I have watched her grow. When I saw this photograph of her I was so captivated by it. I had…
How Is Your Faith Walk?
How do we know we are walking in God’s will? Decisions seem obvious when there is a clear cut divide between right and wrong, good and bad, or even good and best. But what about a choice between good and good? Do you know you are right smack bang in the middle of God’s best…
