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
Tam † ♥

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!

Today is a damp, cool, rainy September day and I’ve started my first fire for the season.

Guys, I love this season!  Layers, jeans and my boots and delicious smells and food being prepared on my wood cookstove!

There is nothing more comforting than the heat from a wood stove warming your body, but when that heat is coming from a wood cookstove there are so many more benefits.

A wood fire warms you through and through and there is something very romantic, comforting, cozy, and peaceful that draws you to the flames emanating from a wood stove, chimneya, or fire pit!

I’ve always loved cooking and baking with a gas stove.  A gas stove provides quick and even heat compared to an electric stove and it is hard to compare to food cooked on the open fire outside, but absolutely NOTHING indoors compares to cooking and baking on a wood cookstove.

In emergency situations and to improve your level of preparedness, owning a wood stove or wood cookstove is only smart.  Electric is unreliable and without it you need a backup, propane will eventually run out, but a wood cookstove will enable you to heat your home, boil and purify water, cook and bake your food and even can and dehydrate. 

Today, I have shared 7 Benefits & Tips For Using A Wood Cookstove on our blog and I think you will find it useful.  I also shared one of my favorite bread recipes with ya’ll. You can find the link in bio or the direct link is http://trayerwilderness.com/7-benefits-and-tips-for-using-a-wood-cookstove

What other people think about us truly does NOT matter‼

Being totally transparent, had we listen to all the naysayers all those years ago we wouldn’t be living our dream and this off-grid life for almost 12 years now! 

Guys, they were betting against us‼ 

That was a turning point for me, Miss PeoplePleaser!  I no longer put value on what other people think! 

Do you know how freeing that was??

We are all created with a purpose and with intention!

We are beautifully and wonderfully made and we were created for a time like this! 

We thrive the most in life when we take ownership of our lives, dreams, desires, and no longer care what other people think!

Now more than ever, we need to stand firm in our faith, freedom, and the desicions we make for ourselves and our families with no care what the rest of the world thinks!

We need to be leaders, not followers!  We need to stand united, not divided!

We need to be willing to stand and not compromise what we stand for and what we believe in when things get uncomfortable!

Do you see God’s beauty around you?

Sometimes, in this crazy life we are looking so much for a sign of God in our crazy mixed up world, we don’t slow down to read His word and hear His still small voice. 

When you mix the sight of His beauty with reading His word and listening for His still small voice life can get very powerful!

Beauty surrounds me daily, but I make it a point and I take time out of my always busy day to meet Him in His beauty to have a relationship and to take in His word.

With the chaos of our world, it is still and always will be a way to find peace and comfort!

“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:16-18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you take time with God daily?

Psalms 91 is so foundational for our family.  How about you?

As many of you know, my family and I walked through quite a few valleys together.  During that time, a dear friend, Bill Allison, shared that chapter with us and it resonated so much with all of us.

Our faith never wavered, it actually grew stronger and our relationship with Jesus became a constant!  And because of that constant relationship and how important it became to me, I began to guard my time with Him.  He renews me, strengthens me, walks with me, comforts me, and every day I try to be a better person than I was yesterday!  I seek Him!  When you are full of Jesus, there is no room for anything else!  I constantly feel wrapped in his wings and loved unconditionally!

I want to encourage you to read Psalms 91 today!  I wear my faith on my sleeve and share it freely.  Through my personal experience with Jesus six years ago, I no longer experience fear and worry.  I feel that is because the deeper we take our walk with Him, the deeper He provides comfort, peace, joy, happiness…and everything we need!

Can anyone relate?  As you increase your walk with Jesus, is your relationship moving to a different level?

PS A little side note… The video today is just a glimpse of the beauty I see right out my front door.  We have eagles frequent regularly as well!
