Thank you so much for responding in this post. I will frequent it often. This really encouraged me. I did find myself wanting to learn these things originally because of fear and knew that shouldn’t be my motive so I stopped. But deep down I didn’t like the idea of not being prepared (though probably my greatest idol I have to die daily too is that of self reliance. Praise God he loved me enough to bring me to my knees literally several years ago to show me that and correct me.) I like how you remind us to go back to the Lord to build upon our foundation with Him both in prayer and in the reading of scripture before moving forward. I believe as I abide in Him I’ll have better discernment as to what He wants me to do. By doing so, the prepping I do decide to partake in will be from a heart of service to my family and community vs. it being from a worrisome one. Discovering your blog/books as of recent has been a breath of fresh air to me. It’s like having the spiritual mother I lacked growing up accessible to me at all times to disciple me in the ways of the Lord, both in mothering and homemaking. Both of which I thought “I’d never do that.” :)
