Our Life...Intro:
We believe that life was meant to be great! Unfortunately, for us (and maybe you?), it was not always like that - in fact quite the opposite. But that doesn't mean that we are destined to fail, doomed to depression or can not expect change...does it?!
No! We refuse to accept this, and have very good reason not to. But we do know how hard the journey can be at times, especially with certain past events, traumas, abuse, health issues etc. Here we will share our ups and downs, the helps and hindrances, the joys and pains on our journey to get back to life...the way it was intended.
You will find articles, helps, news and links to products that help. We will centre on 5 main areas: Relevant Spirituality, Personal Growth, Relationships, Health and Finance. We are by no means experts in any of these areas, though have experienced incredible growth through certain teachings, experiences and training. We are willing to share our successes (and failures) in the hope that it helps you in some small way.

Life VisionThe journey started long ago for us - though we were blissfully unaware! You will here more of our past and the history or foundation of this venture as time goes on...
But right now, we are building a house / display / ministry centre - while we live in caravans. We have planted around 150 fruit trees, are breeding chickens, raising sheep, homeschooling and running a small business to supply the products we use and rely on.
We use alternative power sources, chemical free practises, natural solutions (where possible) and are working towards a realistic sustainable food and energy supply. The property will be used for teaching, training and helping those in need.
We want to help people get back to the way life was intended - whether that be in the spiritual, emotional or physical areas )or all three!). From outreach to specific prayer ministry to hands on groups, we hope to be able to use the building and property for a vast range of activities - while everyone helps each other grow. -
Life RhelmsWe believe that there are at least 5 main categories that are key to getting back to life the way it was intended.
Relevant Spirituality
While we don't think that everyone will accept this, we think there is ample evidence for a Creator and a lack of healing, peace and fulfilment for those who deny it. We aim to help you connect with God for yourself, so you can make an informed decision one way or the other.
Personal Growth
This area follows the first closely - as soon as God starts to transform your life, personal issues, habits, emotions, addictions, phobias etc are all affected. But is that the end of the story? Does God do it all? We will explore, enable, teach and encourage complete and genuine growth - what we like to call transformation!
Relationships
Our relationships form a huge part of our lives - and are directly affected by the first two areas. As we see growth, relationships with our spouses, children and others can be dramatically affected. Estranged relationships can be restored, surface level relationships can be deepened, toxic relationships can be transformed or cut off, demeaning or controlling relationships can be reversed…for the good of everyone. We will include homeschooling helps in this area.
Health
Without our health, life can be very difficult and tiring - we know! While we will never beat every ailment known to man, we can make things a lot better through a variety of disciplines including, exercise, good eating habits, good nutrition, growing your own produce and organic supplies / products. We will provide tips, helps, product reviews and sources for this area.
Finance
Making ends meet can be stressful...though was never meant to be. It was also never meant to be the focus of our lives...We will provide tips, helps, ideas and encouragements that are relevant no matter your lifestyle. We will include here home business details as well as our owner-builder experiences for those interested! -
Life ToolsOne of the main keys we use to find truth is the Bible. Don’t stop reading - seriously we have found amazing things! The wisdom and depth that the Bible reveals to us on a daily basis is incredible. Of course, the main point of the Bible is that it reveals God, and we will help you discover Him and His truth for yourself.
As we engage with God, He reveals some other 'tools' that He can use to lead us to freedom. They include:
Spiritual / Emotional:
- Techniques and experiences to help you uncover the hidden emotions - and how to deal with them.
- A ministry approach that acknowledges the process of the mind (psychology), but relies on God changing areas that 'psychology' or traditional therapy can not. This ministry approach puts you in the drivers chair and keeps you free form the (damaging) ideas and goals of other people.
- Groups and training on spreading truth and helping others
Relationships / Parenting:
- Teachings from people who specialise in dealing with the heart of married life. Things that help your second most important relationship flourish from the heart, not daunting lists of things to do, or avoiding issues!
- Groups focussed on parenting that reaches, exposes and nurtures the heart of your children.
Health / Finance:
- Information, based on research and personal experience.
- Products that can help in the area of nutrition.
- Products that help you 'grow your own' and remove dangers from your lifestyle
- Workshops on different techniques that will benefit your health
- Information on saving money, living frugally and using what you have to the most effect.
- Tips and experience from running small business and owner building
- Hands on demonstrations of building techniques
Others:
Teachings and group training using material from people who actually have beneficial things to say. Approaches that actually work - for a good outcome, not just 'band aid' 'solutions'
Caveat:
We have found over years of searching and asking help that there are a few teachings around that really can help (and many that don't!). We will reveal a few of these and more as time goes on.
As with all things, some people / groups have great teachings in one area but terrible in another - we will endeavour to give you the baby but keep or warn you of the bath water.
With everything we present or teach, we remain open to debate, challenge or encouragement as we believe that no person or group has all the answers or even has it all right. We don't claim to nor believe that!
As we (everyone not just us), as a community, learn to live and love each other in freedom, we all become part of the answer - bringing balance to each other in many keys areas that would be impossible for any of us on our own.
