The Quiet

Outside, the temperature is now minus 11 degrees, and I have a roaring fire going, the dogs are curled up snugly with the cats and I am warm and cozy. The house is cleaned up in anticipation of the hubster coming home from Ft. Knox for the weekend, some candles are lit and the ambiance is solitude, peace, tranquility and calm. I am alone in this quiet time and feeling reflective and wondering how much longer we will be able to have peaceful nights such as this. I am constantly reminded of my newer mindset of prepping - going over and over my preps in my head is constant anymore. God's way of telling me that I need more of this or more of that - all a good thing and I thank Him with all of my spirit that walks with Him. This is the time to grow closer to our Creator and try to walk with Him in all things in this world run by luciferian people, to try to not be so much of this world and to let go of those material things we once craved and know that those things are no longer important - that you have a much greater mission to accomplish, you have been given a gift of knowing that this is the time of a great awakening of the spirit and that God will work through you, each of you. He hasn't let me down yet, and He keeps pointing me in the right direction concerning what items we need and what to be ready for. He will help those who help themselves, so it is my fervent wish that anyone reading this blog would please get ready - when you are prepared, then you can help others down the road when things are pretty rough. Enjoy this peace now and relish it for it is soon to end and by the grace of God, we will survive and have something pretty special to pass on to our children.

P.S. Just can't seem to get away from how things will become as I sit here typing, my feet rest on about 10,000 rounds of ammo on my shelf under my computer and Betty(my 38) is by my side. Hmmmm....I almost feel naked without her anymore!

Some Thoughts...

I want to add some thoughts as an aside while I am listening to Big John. When you get into prepping, you need to remember that the canned foods won't last forever. You will absolutely need to have some heirloom seeds and learn to grow your own garden. This is a must or you will not survive. Start planning your garden now.

We ordered our seeds from Big John at survivalistseeds and we went to his site and printed out everything about these seeds such as how deep to plant then and how far apart and all that good stuff.

Start with where you are going to grow your garden. You might not want to dig up a big fat rectangle smack dab in the middle of your yard - people going by your place will certainly spot that for sure and this invites trouble. Plant smaller areas around different places in your yard, learn to disguise these area with brush etc. Probably won't be able to have a perfectly manicured yard this summer, so allow it to grow up a little to help disguise your garden - who needs their yard to look like a golf course anyway - not us.

Personal thought - once you start to realize all of the bad things that the government does and big companies like Monsanto, you realize that they want you to have this perfect yard, free of weeds. Why? Well, I think they don't want us to know about all of the great "weeds" that God created for us for food and for medicinal purposes. Learn now, while you can what plants around you that you can eat and use to treat any health issues. I don't care how you learn it, buy books or search the net and print it out and put in your library for future use. Do it, I promise you will need to know this.

All this talk about a garden makes me want winter to be over with all that much faster and as I write this, it is -4 outside here in Indiana. Yuck. Made quick work of the barn chores today - the alpacas probably were wondering what my problem was since they were nice and toasty with all of their fleece! Cold doesn't faze them a bit! Lucky them. I weigh 90lbs and I am cold all the time and seems like I wear long underwear 9 months a year. Sucks big time.

Catch ya later!

Headed Back

Just read a great story from Shy Wolf's blog this morning about canoeing and it got me to thinking (yeah, scary I know) that this is where we, those of us that survive, are headed - back to simpler times, back to the earth as God intended us to be. We were meant to be with nature that He created for us, not trapped in some concrete jungle, rushing about to make ends meet and unable to understand who we are and from where we came. God created the beauty of the forests and the streams and all that inhabit them for us and I feel a deep need to get back to nature and live clean, free from man's poisons. These poisons in our air and in our food are killing us slowly in mind and in spirit. So many people out there are searching for God and cannot seem to find Him, but He is everywhere, if you just shut out man's world and open up to God's. Thank Shy for the reflection - I needed that today!
