Shalom from Wendy at Houses of Beauty. Lots going on here. A Summary of What’s Up:

PURIM  

We are having a celebration from March 4th to 6th 

Here’s the full scoop:  

truefreedomlastsforever.com/2023/01/28/purim-celebration/

The theme is “Concealing & Revealing.” Scriptural discussions, art, dance and theatre workshops, fun activities for children, and a special party for everyone on the 4th.  On the 5th, I will be presenting a one-woman play called “The Hidden Star” about some of the mysteries in Esther’s relationship with her God and her king, and then, we will conclude the celebration on the 6th, the actual night of Purim, in the evening, with an in-depth discussion of the Book of Esther.  We hope you can join us!

Beit Emunah, the House of Faith, otherwise known as “The Barn” is coming along well.  It will be up and running by Purim, which has us all excited and praising the LORD. With a kitchen, several meeting rooms and a celebration/worship hall … we are planning on creating a dance style floor which MAY be done by then as well. We are feeling God’s Hand encouraging us and supporting us as we proceed.  We have lots of opportunities for blessing and encouraging people, a stage area, a place for showing films, walls for art exhibitions, and tons of windows. God’s Love is tangible everyday, and He is working little wonders in each of us on a daily and continuous basis.  I am grateful for all the transformation of our lives, relationships, and on the property.

Shabbat and Daily Life on the Mountain 

We continue to have Shabbat dinners in one of our yurt tents. Even during the winter, with our little wood burning stove, we stayed warm, and our community of residents continued to grow. Praise GOD! More temporary housing has brought more community members.  Smile. His provision and timing always come as a surprise. We continue to grow in appreciation of each other.  It is a lovely process to surrender to in the LORD.  So life-giving!

BECOMING A FILMMAKER: GOSHEN

Meanwhile, the film projects are proceeding well. I am amazed at the beauty God is creating within and through us as we work upon “Goshen.”  “Goshen,” in ancient Egypt, was a safe place for the Israelites during the plagues. God is highlighting the name “Goshen” for many people these days, blessing us with faith in His protection during the coming storm.  Some people have donated LOTS of time to make the GOSHEN PROJECT happen, and others have been paid.  It is a HUGE BLESSING to see God’s Hand working in all of this. Below is a link for watching scene two, “Corrie Ten Boom: Unimaginable Love. Scene One will be released very, very soon.

BECOMING A FILMMAKER: HEBREW

For Sukkot, the LORD gave me a beautiful teaching on the Hebrew letters, focusing on their redemptive story.  It was a remarkable study for me, as the LORD revealed more and more of his Hand and His Character through His Letters.  Truly beautiful. Then the LORD encouraged me to turn the teaching into a video, so people could receive this message of his Love.  I hope you enjoy it! (Some of you have already seen it. Smile.)

(You) who live in the secret place of the Most High will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. You will say of YHVH, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, I will trust in Him.” For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,  from the wicked plague. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will flee for refuge: His truth will be your shield and buckler…With long life will (He) satisfy (you) and show you (His) Yeshua.”  Psalm 91:1-4,16
