Hi, I hope you're having a blessed day ^_^
Where to start with these things? I'm single, never married, no kids, a convert to Adventism in my teens. My upbringing was both enriching and troubled, there were bits of both in my family. I've worked in various roles over the years, mostly technical in nature which matches my rather quiet and reclusive personality. My most peaceful moments are times when I'm alone, doing something creative that I truly enjoy and having a sense that Jesus is close to me, listening as I open my innermost thoughts to Him.
I Left the cities 10 years ago for a quieter life in the dry side of the Darling Downs. I buy, restore and sell lawn tractors and ride on mowers as a sole trader, using a workshop on my land. I don't have a house, and live in a pair of old caravans. My huge, brand new workshop shed is the Taj Mahal in comparison. I'm completely off grid, the sun and the rain from God's sky are my life and electricity. I have two fully functional inverter systems that provide my electricity, so I have all the major home conveniences with enough in reserve for rainy days. I'm not a doomsday prepper, nor do I get along at all with such people. My choice to live this life is partly counsel from SOP, and partly my own desire to return to my childhood experience which was enriched with time in nature and camping along the coast. It's a harsh environment at times, but also has moments of Edenic beauty.
Being located an hour from several major cities and towns, I alternate between the few SDA churches here and have occasional ministry tasks in some of them. I pray for and, where the Lord leads, share my faith with my neighbours, also being mindful of the friendships that I build with them which, hopefully, will help them to see Jesus in me and dispel the false ideas of God that the world instills in them.
My current business earns a steady but small income, enough to pay the bills and plan for a proper house at some point in the future. I have the potential to earn a six figure income, but after years of working in high stress, risky and adverse work environments, I've left those options off the table, in favor of taking care of my health and faith. I am physically active and love the outdoors, but also have joint issues from past injuries, and suffer from moderate bouts of fatigue... so things like hiking and extreme sports are mostly off the table. I'm unsure about having kids, we'd need to seriously talk about that. Age, health and finances are not on my side in that respect.
I'm picky about what I allow into my life in terms of influences, both in mind and body. I'm mostly vegan besides free range eggs, something I very much live by because of digestive problems. I screen the types of media that I view and listen to. Educational videos and articles, news (sometimes skimming headlines because it's often depressing), or anything to do with nature. Not into secular music or entertainment at all, nor expensive travel. I'd rather spend my time learning and expanding my mind, carrying out various projects I have around the place, talking with good spiritual friends, making good food and nurturing my faith in the Lord. We won't be in this world forever, it's not our final home and being ready to spend eternity with Jesus, helping others to know Him too, is what really matters in the long term.
I like to write, sing, take the occasional nap, help my neighbors and start each morning with time in prayer and the word. I'm far from perfect, my background is somewhat messy and since my baptism, I've had setbacks and painful lessons to learn, fears to face and faults to overcome. I'm still on that journey.
I'm quite settled in Australia, not really interested in moving unless there's a clear leading from God. And I don't cope with very cold weather at all. I am busy with work and do take a while to respond.
