This weighs heavy on our hearts

I've struggled with writing this sort of article, but after several weeks of wrestling with the Lord; I've succumb. The reason I wrestled was that we've been termed as Doom's Day believers. We've been following the Lord's lead for almost 20 yrs now and He has led us to our little homestead for a reason. People, in general, even believers can't seem to be bothered with listening to that still small voice( that's the Lord speaking to you). Why?, because everyone is so caught up in life, keeping up with the Jones's, so to speak. Instead of keeping the Lord as their primary focus. When you are so caught up in the "world" the noise seems to drowned out the Lord's voice. Many of you may be feeling anxious about what is happening in our economy but aren't sure why, or even what to do about this feeling. Well.... first you need to seek, in prayer, the Lord's voice, then listen carefully and follow through on what He lays on your heart.Next you need to think outside the box, begin to think for yourself. This is a tough one, as you'll be labeled and mocked. Their is the news, that is on your radios and TV's, but much of this news is VERY liberally bias, as well as controlled. Our suggestion is if you want the REAL news of what is going on in the United States, seek news from overseas news sources. Again we felt led to offer a warning, wake up call or whatever you'd like to label it. The Lord's still voice is there for those whom wish to listen. We pray you hear Him LOUD and CLEAR! We have been truly blessed here on our little homestead. Yes it's been full of trials, hard work, sorrow, sleepless nights but also overflowing with, peace,simply enjoying nature, rewards of the fruits of our labor and a less noisy life, so we hear His still small voice. I guess my concern is that many take this whole economic stuff far to lightly, that being the main reason we're where we're at this point in history. Study history folks, it does repeat itself. This year it is going to be so important that people revive their ability to grow some of their own food. Instead of flowers in flowerbeds, plant vegetables and herbs. The heavyiness on my heart is for the folks that can't seem to be bothered,and feel as if life will keep moving right along as always. Well.... that may be true, but what if it isn't? What does it hurt to pick up some garden seeds, stock up on basic pantry items, learn or re-learn cooking from scratch, learning to eat seasonally, etc...... Our motto is Prepare for the Worst and Pray for the Best. Living within one's means or better yet below one's means is another area to be looked at with a serious eye. Far to many live via credit and trust me it will come back to bite, sadly bite all of us, just as the housing fiasco has and will bite everyone. Our prayer, for those who read this is that the Lord opens your heart as well as your ears, before you hear two simple words: " To Late"
