25.01.2022 So grateful for glimpses of divine light and beauty amongst the mundane, the hum drum, the daily grind. Love these words of this poem: nothing is wasted. Nothing. . I believe no pain is lost. No tear unmarked, no cry of anguish ... dies unheard, lost in the hail of gunfire or blanked out by the padded cell. . I believe that pain and prayer are somehow saved, processed, stored, used in the divine economy. - Sheila Cassidy See more
24.01.2022 Snow clouds and rainbows. . The sky tonight is like a metaphor for my life. So much potential hanging in the heavens - hope and light mingling just out of reach but within my sight. Like a reminder of God’s faithfulness and presence, they stare at me encouraging me to look up and keep going on, to keep searching for the beauty and the Maker. ... . Grateful for fresh mercies, colours and the Light that shines on in the darkness. . #millionsmissing #mecfs #yomkippur See more
23.01.2022 Hide me in the shadow of your wings - Psalm 17:8

18.01.2022 Spring has really sprung
18.01.2022 Still here :-) . My days have been taken up by resting. We’ve also had other lovely things going on: my parents visited after not being able to see them for 7 months, we’ve celebrated several birthdays, Father’s Day and Feast of Trumpets, Stass got her dream job and officially becomes a librarian this week, Ethi was accepted into TAFE, Liji turned 17, Zippi and Zeeki have done lots of homeschool learning. We’ve held space for an ill friend, have done some gardening together, we’ve enjoyed drives spotting canola, gone fishing, read lots and sat around our fire pit. We’ve been grateful for friends and family checking in, praying and loving on us during this season where my health continues to be unpredictable and my capacity is reduced. Slow intentional living for the win. Hope you’re doing ok out there xx
18.01.2022 Beautiful words from @amygrantofficial as I work through her book #mosaic (a gift from our mate Dave). . Nothing is wasted in life. Grief and pain enlarge our capacity for compassion and perseverance. . I believe this with all my heart.

15.01.2022 Thanks so much Radio Candy (UK) for spinning 'So Far'! xx
14.01.2022 A year ago today I stood in @dottedeightstudio for the first time to work on my #epwalkingcontradiction . . A year on, life looks different with some chronic health issues giving me a real run for my money right now but man am I glad I had the chance to do that record. Might not have changed the world but it was something important to me and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to do it. . Do the things you love whenever you can. You never know what’s around the corner x
13.01.2022 Best way to spend our sabbath: resting, in nature, together. Making the most of good days and turning them into the best days. Thanks @topthingstodoincowra for mentioning #oakycreek. X
12.01.2022 I hear Bandcamp are waiving fees again. I can't find the link to that so I hope that's correct (other muso mates feel free to chime in with confirmation or correction!) Just in case you might like to purchase my music digitally, here's the link to my little Bandcamp: https://lusiaustin.bandcamp.com/ x
12.01.2022 Happy #internationaldogday today! We love our crazy gorgeous pair
12.01.2022 Beauty is about picturing God’s unchanging goodness and daring to bring it into my own small, dusty days. From The #lifegivinghome by @sally.clarkson and @sarahwanders x

03.01.2022 Creative living doesn’t have to always look like the same story-thread throughout every season of our life. . When I was a kid, I did lots of creative things with my time like taking photographs with my Canon film camera that I got for my 13th birthday, taking dance classes and choosing art class at school. . When I got older, creative living took the form of a drama degree, writing plays and performing in shows.... . As a young mum, I lived out my creative passions by homeschooling and getting crafty alongside my kids. We painted, drew and drank in rich stories together. We worshipped the Creator through song and scripture. We made playdough in all the colours of the rainbow. . As the kids got older, I started scrapbooking and designed my own lines of products that were sold in stores. I wrote for magazines and taught workshops. . When it was time for that season to end, I’d get the creative juices flowing by baking recipes, blogging and listening to music. . Creative living morphed into window dressing our little #findsonfitzroy vintage and retro store for a couple of years and when it was time to let that go, I wholeheartedly embraced the creativity of writing and performing music, especially my own. I recorded and released my #walkingcontradictionep last year during a period of wellness. . I’m in a different season again. . In this season of fatigue, pain and unpredictability, it would be easy to think that this is a season of creative drought but it’s not. . It’s a time to do little creative things. I read. I listen to podcasts. I enjoy looking at the flowers people like my daughter bring me in my Frida vase. . My creativity comes out in the form of this wall next to my bed. It reminds me of love and connection and brings me joy whenever I look at it. It reminds me of the creativity that many of my loved ones possess, of places traveled to vicariously through others and of experiences lived and memories made. . It’s really just another creative outlet (albeit it small) because intentional actions matter. May your days be filled with intentional moments that fill you up, even if they feel teeny tiny in the story-thread seasons of your life. X See more
03.01.2022 Not quite sure how to word this post. It’s something I’ve been mulling over for a while but as restrictions appear to be easing and I’m getting more requests for gigs I feel I should kind of make this a bit more public. . I’m unable to pursue a music career indefinitely due to chronic illnesses. Just typing this (although necessary) makes me feel sad. . I’ve had loads of tests and appointments and they continue on. My health is currently incredibly unpredictable and as such I... am unable to commit to any gigs. Some days I’m ok (these will be the days you may see me out and about) and other moments even in those ‘good’ days I am not so ok. . So it’s time to call it for now. In time it may improve but I just can’t say if or when that time may be. . I want to take this opportunity to thank every single venue, community and individual who has supported my music over the years. Thank you for being a wonderful cheer squad, for dancing and singing along to my songs. I’m so grateful for all the amazing people I’ve met, the places I’ve played and the joy you’ve brought to me over the years. . Nothing but love and gratitude sent out to you all and of course to my Brett and our kiddos, our family and friends too for their support to enable me to follow my dreams as I have tried to do for them also. . I have faith in a God that walks with us no matter the circumstances: even when it’s tough and prayers aren’t answered in the way we’d like. I count my blessings and know that many have it a lot worse that I do. There’s no denying the impact this has on us right now though and the great divide between my level of capability and my current capacity. I’d be lying if I said this didn’t hurt. . I’ll still be posting here (although probably less music content) and over at @lusi.that.homeschool.life for our homeschooling account from time to time. . Stay in touch and I look forward to being in the audience of live music gigs sometime soon. . Big love, Lusi xo . #mecfs #mecfsawareness #millionsmissing See more

02.01.2022 It’s a special time of year for my family. We are celebrating #feastoftabernacles today and for the next 7 days! . We celebrate that the Word (Jesus) became flesh and tabernacled among us (John 1:4). . We remember God’s provision for His people when they wandered in the desert and camped in tents. ... . Outdoor feasting, reflecting, reading, connecting...one of our fave feasts! . Thinking of our family and friends near and far who are somehow marking this time. Big love x . #sukkot #torahsisters @torahsisters See more
