Early mornings in the wilderness are so precious to me! 

It’s so amazing to watch the world come alive in front of my eyes.  God’s still quiet voice is so present and powerful!

Penning a new book in his perfect presence.

Candles are burning, wind chimes are chiming, the fire in the wood cookstove is cracking,  and the sun is peeking its head above the mountains!

Who else loves the early mornings?

As always, a great conversation with Melissa at Pioneering Today Podcast @melissaknorris  Thank you for the opportunity and for having me!

#repost Trayer Wilderness (IG:  @trayerwilderness )
I didn’t think I liked wild game because it tasted too “gamey” (an unpleasant metallic flavor)… but what I didn’t realize is that I didn’t like it because it wasn’t prepared properly.

If you’re a wild game fan (or want to be), you’ll want to catch this episode with Tammy from @trayerwilderness  She’s sharing her tips on harvesting and preparing wild game! (Clickable link my my bio!)

Every vehicle had issues this week.  Every day it was something new and even a flat on the old homestead truck….

Enemy, it’s going to take more than that to break this girl! Not once this week did I skip a beat.  You learn to roll with the punches and keep going. 

Today, I had some errands so what is a GIRL to do but….
IMPROVISE, ADAPT, & OVERCOME!!

The Harley gets better fuel economy anyway, perfect vehicle for our current times.

Our world is upside down right now and many of you are struggling, worried, anxious…. I just want to encourage you to keep looking up and TRUSTING! 

No matter how much you have stockpiled, no matter what skills you have, we will never be fully prepared if we don’t allow God in the forefront leading the way, seeking Him for guidance, direction, and wisdom, and trusting Him no matter what comes our way!  To me that is the secret to preparedness, it is not self-reliance it is God-reliance!

Don’t lose your hope or faith!  Keep your chin up and keep going.  Focus on the good in your life no matter how big or small and keep focusing on the gratitude.  Our life will clone our thoughts…. You are down and not enjoying life - life will suck.  If you enjoy life despite the chaos - even though there is chaos you will still be able to find your joy, happiness, and your place of peace.

Today, I got to enjoy one of those places that gives me peace.  I feel like God’s arms are wrapped around me while I ride.

"Get up into the high mountain." Isaiah 40:9. Sometimes a change of scenery does our hearts good. Once we get above the valley of our circumstances, we can see things much more clearly. Take time today to see things from heaven's perspective. Get to a place where you can be quiet and listen to what the Lord will say to you. -John Randall

Great words by @johnprandall !  May this encourage you today!

God bless

Do you practice self care or give yourself permission to take breaks?

We embarked on our off-grid, homesteading, traditional living journey 13 years ago.  We were seeking a freedom and an ability to live life by our terms.

We did find that, but it was an interesting learning experience.  I learned how society still had a hold on us.

I had to learn that it was ok to take a break, to even slow down in our rushed and over scheduled society.  I had declining health and wasn’t sure the cause for many years and was slowly trying desperately to slow things down and take better care of myself.

Then add life-saving surgery in 2016 as a result of #breastimplantillness which landed me flat on my back for a year and an 8 year healing journey.  Flat on my back with reason and I was still fighting the societal thoughts that I was useless, worthless, old, etc.  Then through the grace of God, I heard Him loud and clear as He told me He had me right where He wanted me and He was going to use me out of that place and He did‼ 

He also molded me, and taught me that we are called to REST‼  Do you know how often Jesus escaped to the wilderness to retreat, pray, and spend quiet time with God?  A LOT‼!

This was my pivotal point to accept and understand the NEED to rest and that it was OK  and that we SHOULD rest!

My healing journey required a LOT of self care - this level of self care can be so time consuming, but it was so worth it!  I went from totally debilitated, to getting my life and health back!  All good things take time so give yourself grace!

I learned how much better life was at a slower pace and also  how much more successful, healthy, present, productive, creative, and enjoyable life could really be once you slowed it down.

Yesterday, I was tired and I did not have to fight myself, I just enjoyed a wonderful afternoon nap. 

Learn this skill and give yourself permission to enjoy life and to rest when you need to!

Self care is amazing!  Do you practice self care or give yourself permission to take breaks?  If so, what have you found the benefits to be in your life and situation?

My Lifestyle is a choice!
I live off-grid with intention!
My days are filled with chores and our desire to life traditionally means hard, gratifying work.
It is what creates grit, perseverance, tenacity,
strength, wisdom, knowledge,  the ability to overcome,  freedom, longevity and 
a deep gratification &  love for life!
I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I live off-grid!
