There is something to be said about farm life. There is always a story to tell. Not a day goes by where you either laugh, cry and outright blessed and grateful for gods Creations. Finally being back on our farm and living there has opened a whole new world for me. The last time I was on a property was our family’s 50acre block 10 min out of Kingaroy. The dry hot Australian outback. Although resisting the move at first, the words of my mothers has rang true in my ears so often since. “ You would benefit from this, Heidi”. We I have. I had a wonderful time learning to work then. Only now on our farm here in Kaukapakapa, do I have the responsibility and the life journey ahead to make it wonderful for our future generations. As my ancestors and those before me did, I am now working and toiling for our future posterity. Strangely enough, most days this is the very drive to get me out working the land. I am quickly learning that I can not sit on the fence either. I can not hope to live and be in the “city” and “on the farm”. I have to embrace my new lifestyle withboth arms and rejoice in its beauty and simplicity. How much closer can you feel to your Heavenly Father than when you are standing in his creations listeneing to the wind gust through the tree tops or staring up at the sheet of stars falling on our heads at night. The Fantails playing all around and our kids in gumboots running through the grass.
So many stories, so much to tell. It all begins and continue it shall…………………….
