Hearing...Oh, how your words have lifted my spirit! Hearing that God is speaking to others' hearts, as He is mine, gives me the courage and strength to persevere. My husband and I do not have the financial resources that some of our friends have, or to be as prepared as we'd like. But I am trusting that the Lord knows what we will need, when we will need it, and will either provide it, or see us through. All the things you have mentioned are the same issues I am struggling with, and I know many others are, too. You are not the only one with a knot in your stomach. But the fact that so many of us, who put our faith in the Lord, are receiving the same message, tells me that He is working through us for His purpose, and that gives me hope and strength. And congratulations on buying the Deadwood Stove. You will not be sorry! Click on my Youtube link, and you can see a video of me using the Deadwood Stove. Each step you take is one more act of courage and faith. And Bless You for your encouragement! It means more than you know!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-88557654291600459812012-05-25T11:35:46.496-05:002012-05-25T11:35:46.496-05:00In 2009, I started paying attention to the Emergen...In 2009, I started paying attention to the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator of the county where I worked...took some of her booklets, put together 1st aid kits, started building up my pantry, expanding my garden. The Lord providently made it possible for us to buy a rural farmhouse with spring, wells, pasture, etc with seller financing. In August 2011, I was praying about all this, and was given words from the Lord along the line of hard/dark times coming; be prepared; put up food, water, lights; pay off debt and live on less; save for future needs; be satisfied with less yet abundantly blessed. Just this month, He enabled us to sell a business property, pay off personal debt, and will be able to do some improvements on the house (finish the long-torn-apart kitchen, buy a wood cookstove, add insulation). I know His timing is perfect, and that things will fall into place...but a knot of tension builds in my stomach, the clock feels as though it is ticking loudly, and I know our preps aren't at a level they need to be. Last night our power was off until 6am, which reminded me again that we need an outhouse, a hand pump on the spring or well, a springhouse in the basement to cool food, and a way to cook other than on our wood stove insert or BBQ. So I just ordered the Deadwood rocket stove on your website, rather than travel or do anything "fun" this Memorial Day Weekend! Belle, keep up the good work. Your posts cover a wonderful array of important topics, and I especially appreciate the Scripture references at the end. Be prepared, not scared, and trust in the Lord with all your heart...while working as industriously as an ant in the summer, putting away food for the winter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-81505547828929478862012-05-24T22:23:37.572-05:002012-05-24T22:23:37.572-05:00I keep hoping for good news to report, but there s...I keep hoping for good news to report, but there seems none on the horizon.
