About me...


About me..My name is Naomi.  I am married with three children.  I am a Naturopathy student who has been studying for what feels like forever and carer to husband and three children.  I have a background in midwifery.  I am passionate about how God designed things to be for our minds and bodies and life and that one day he will perfect everything and everyone who accepts the free gift of life.  I yearn to understand God more and dwell in his perfect peace, trusting him, believing him, and not being afraid.  I want to know how long and wide and deep and high is the love of Christ, a love that surpasses knowledge.


This is Ben and I on our 15th wedding anniversary holiday at a Broncos game...



I like pretty things.  I like tea and tea pots and pretty vines.  I like delicate and soft things like pastels and green florals and lace and shabby chic.  But not too shabby chic.  I like rustic and homely.  I like natural things, wood, metal, natural fibres.
I have three little vege beds that don't get watered a lot at the moment but have produce a good supply of italian parsley, lemon balm and silverbeet.
I have the one pot plant at the moment I try to keep alive in the photo below, because it is pretty, a native violet.  I like the vines.  We have two cats, I named them Basil and Sage after herbs!
My poor green bike in the photo is a bit unused at the moment!



I am learning many thing about myself, perhaps things other people learned about themselves at a much younger age!  I am an introvert, identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and am learning to trust my God-given intuition which I have long neglected!  I have a new found passion for exploring and growing in spiritual gifts and seeing God's power manifest for his glory in the earth.

Rebel thoughts

Rebel thoughts are thoughts that set themselves up against the knowledge of God.  We don't want them but sometimes we accept them as innocent unknowingly.  These thoughts can be sneaky so we need to identify them to be able to take them down.  When I say take down, I mean wrestle down to the ground in submission...demolish... "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" 2 Corinthians 10 v 5 What is the knowledge we have of God? His attributes His character His promises All God is for me in Christ Jesus. Which of my thoughts are setting themselves up against the knowledge of God?  The devil will be encouraging these thoughts.  The fruit of such thoughts will be the opposite of what God gives; joy, peace, hope.  So what thoughts are causing depression, anxiety/restlessness and hopelessness? These are some of my recent rebel thoughts...

Poems

The following poem was a personal reflection of both life's realities and faiths hope, particularly the power of Jesus Ressurection in us to give us a freshness and newness and freedom from our past. I'm really feeling a theme of 'freshness' for this season from easter and ahead... Ressurection Morning Seasons come and seasons go Its hard to keep up With the ebb and flow We try to prepare and take care But I struggle, you know Past seasons holding on Can't seem to shake free Things from the past holding me Telling me I'm not free Feel the freshness of the morning A new day dawning Crisp air Birds singing New beginnings Hope is beckoning to me He makes all things new Ressurection morning Bringing me hope Power Strong and undefeatable He makes me Naomi Richardson The following I wrote for children to make a connection with the sweetness of Jesus love and the sweetness of chocolate easter eggs. Oh so sweet Here's a chocolate, oh so sw...

Enduring strength

"He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless" Isaiah 40 v 29 NLT. I read this verse this morning and saw it in a totally different light.  I used to mainly see this as talking about God's power to sustain us daily, that is, while we are experiencing particular weaknesses and struggles...(which I still agree he provides). Power = Empowerment He also gives us empowerment- and I saw this as a type of 'deliverance'- lasting changes in our feeling of power and strength through changes in us and our circumstances and situation. This is the concrete lifting of us from a weakened or powerless state in any number of areas and promoting us to a more enabled position. The following are some examples of the many kinds of empowerment that I could think of... Leverage The ability to create change The ability to influence The ability to be heard- having 'a voice' The ability to sustain a healthy relationship Emotional happiness and stabili...
