Moms the Word

I’m not sure I have a clue what I am doing. Like, really wonder about my sanity some days. So, true to form, I am attempting to downsize my household from 1800 square feet to 300 square feet. Why do you ask? Let me tell you.

We have farmland that has been rented for several years waiting on my family to have the means in order to take over the running of the farm and build a house. This was a five year plan. I think when we make plans, God sits back and giggles. His plans are not our plans nor his ways our ways.

This all changed back in March. We had to bury 3 of our dogs due to being poisoned. We don’t know how or why, but the symptoms were unmistakable for being poisoned. It was a heartbreaking time. My children had to learn a very harsh reality of death of very close loved ones, even if they were dogs. We loved them like family and treated them like family. Now, there is a whole in our hearts.

Back to the reason for the change of plans. We are simply very unhappy in the place we live. The problem is that we are not financially ready to build a house right now. Dum, dum, dum…. Enter the insanity. We bought a camper trailer.

Yes, you heard me correctly. The Lord changed our lives in a matter of minutes when he opened numerous doors for us to purchase the exact camper we needed and opened the doors for us to move to our farm now. The excitement I have is overwhelming. Both in a “what the crap have I done” and “look what the Lord has done!”

So here we are, trying to fit a whole household into a camper to live the life that the Lord has guided us to. Am I scared to death? Absolutely. Am I stretching my faith? Daily. Oh, but what the LORD is doing in my family!
