    Y’all are so inspiring!!!

    Single Mama of a teenager here, at 55. Purchased an overgrown acre, 5 years ago. Paid it off in one year while clearing it off. Purchased a12x36 shed and converted it into a tiny house, all while working full time. Immediately put in some raised beds for herbs and increased the garden every year for the last 4 years. Just bought a chicken coop. Planning on 8 to 10 chickens. Was gifted a rabbit hutch that needs some work. Thankfully I have an engineer friend that loves to build things and wants to help. I believe next year will be more productive than ever. Looking forward to it being my full time job, one day.

    I don’t know of any scriptures about preparedness, other than the bring 10% of everything to the storehouse. Please share others.

    My dad and I discuss this as I prep. He says people who prep are prepping to stay on this earth. He is not planning on staying. He said he is planning on the Lord taking him up. Its a good way to live, I guess. Less stress. lol

    My side hustle is my homestead right now. My full time hustle is owning a salon. I would really like to turn this around. Any suggestions?

    This is an amazing story! Seriously, have you ever thought about writing a book? I am sure there are other single fathers out there that have experienced similar things. Have you seen Single Dad Homstead? Its a youtube channel. Sounds like you have come a long way. Im so sorry she left you and the children. How are the children now?

    I love all of the feed back. I agree. We do need to prepare and provide for our families and friends and those in need. I believe the Holy Spirit has guided us all here for a reason. Everyday, I hear the promises in my ear yet I am still guided to provide, prepare and preserve food, security and the Word. I think while we are all doing these things, we need to also look at the Word as the “Living water” that needs to be stored up in our minds and hearts. Put up the “Meat” of the Word for preps. I don’t know about y’all but there are times when I feel like I am dying of thirst or starving for the Word or some sign from Our Father. Perhaps this is the Biblical Prep that is mentioned in the Bible? What are your thoughts on this?

    Oh, Wow!!!! You are amazing to do all of that. I would love to hear your story. I bet it could help a lot of single mama’s like me. It may also help inspire you to see how far you have come and all that you have accomplished. It sounds like you wear a super cape every day.

    This is a great idea!!! People pay to go to ranches, camps and other destinations to get fit and healthy, why not this?
