The simple life

Am back from a week's long of independent traveling:) was awesome and exciting( yea..hearing me getting the aussie way of talkin ey..LOL)

I headed down to the inner New South Wales- Rand( in between Albury and Wagga Wagga) and onto Dubbo.

If u guys ever watched The Simple Life by nicole richie and paris hilton, do u remember the farming episodes they had? Yea, I got myself one great and amazing time on the farms at Rand. Laurissa aka Larrie( my life group leader in Wesley and physio mate in Syd Uni) invited me to her place cuz she was back at the farms and she was getting wee bored so she got me down to provide that excitement of a visitor. So i took the long ride and because of track works, i was stuck on the train for 2 hours extra!! my butt was nearly ripped off and rinsed..so terrible:) I got there in the afternoon, headed for a cup of tea and then to the farms for 2 days and 2 nights..

Farm was exciting:) I reckoned it's me( being a kid living in the city ALL my life) i haven't had the opportunities to see cattle upclose and do things like making the fence for the farmland. So all decked in nice farming outfit, we headed out to the fields and did fencing.

FencingI chase quite a load of cattle for Mrs Creek( Larrie's mum) cuz they had to get them to another place..so i joined the cows and went MOOOOO. Kinda frightened them i think~ they started running away real fast when i went MOOOO.LOL..

SOme people commented the farm life might get bored after some time but i reckoned that it has become a lifestyle for many farmers around that they don't really see it as a boring thing to do. They see it as their life.
It was a good time cuz I did my first time lawn mowing and i drove the manual car under the instructions of Mrs creek..but i nearly killed my passengers..LOL..

Mrs Creek

The highlight at the farm was the night sky. I saw the milky way right before my eyes. It's a magnificent blanket of stars that laid before my eyes~ From the east to the west, the north to the south, the sight just blew my mind. I laid under the blanket and could hear my Father in Heaven telling me- It's all for you, enjoy:)

Being at the farm, I realised the amazing thing about God is that everything made or happened will remind you of Him. Mrs Creek was sharing that the fencing was done so that it can allow the vegetation for the area that had tracks running through regenerate and becomes a potential grazing place for the cattle. The fencing serves a s a barrier so that the cattle will not enter and trample the grounds. Well, is your heart this day like the fields in Mrs creek's farmland? Is it barren or is it flourishing? Are the fences up to guard your heart? or have you allowed the cattle to run through your fields because you thought that if you leave just a weeny bit of hole in the fence..they will not get through? [i saw sheep getting through the fences that had holes as small as my palm].
