"Be Sober, Be Vigilant" 1 Peter 5:8
This morning I dropped Ace off for his second week of school (DH took him yesterday). Even though it sort of felt like the first day again, on my part at least, it is turning out to be a pretty good day. Lucky and I have been playing outside all afternoon, the weather is absolutely beautiful.
I planned on cleaning the house today but when I opened the windows to let some air in, I just couldn't resist. I made a pot of my favorite tea and Lucky and I headed out.
Keep us in your prayers as we are getting ready to put our house up for sale. Perfect time, right? :) We've been struggling with this idea for awhile, mostly because we're afraid with the economy in the shape that it's in and because recently there's been talk about DH's place of employment being bought out. If that happens his position will be one of the first to go.
We love our home, we just built it 4 years ago and it is located exactly where we want it to be but our property is really more than we need and is a 3rd job for DH during the warm months. So we're hoping to find either another house on about half the property or just the property and we could build another home, slightly smaller. The main reason for this is that the property where we live is worth more than the homes so we'd be able to pay off a very big chunk of the new home. This way if, God forbid, he does lose his job we'd still be {barely} afloat with our home business. We know the market stinks right now but we're hoping to sell low, buy low.
We're basically preparing for the worst, better safe than sorry, right? I think it's a good idea to start saving dry goods too. As soon as we get some extra money I think I'll go stock up on the basics: rice, flour, salt, sugar, etc. Maybe some hydrated fruits and vegetables. It does feel like I'm being a little paranoid but I keep hearing all sorts of different things on the news and I hate to be the party pooper but things aren't looking so good. I'm not sure I believe it to the extent that the gentlemen in the article predicts but in the case of an emergency, I want to be prepared. I have children to think of.
I feel like many of the prophecies of our saints and elders are unfolding before our eyes. What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions on this.
