In reply to Britney.

Britney, there is SO much importance in those still quiet heart pulls. Never ignore them, even if you don’t know how to react to them, don’t ignore them. 🙂 I’d recommend choosing one thing. Just one. That you want to change in your kitchen to make it more of a real food kitchen. Then there will be a second thing… and so on. Poke around on here to find lots of inspiration… And definitely sign up for my Pantry Checklist. That will get you started well! https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62489d4a0d4a1c1ac93e38d2

I love this post so much, it just resonates with me so so deeply…I have never even lived outside of the city, but as long as I can remember I have always felt a pull towards country living. The past few months I have felt such a strong pull towards a simple homesteading life that the only way I can describe it is that it feels like my calling. I like the way you worded it, like a tug that you just can’t ignore. There is nothing else that I’ve done or pursued that really feels like it’s meant for me. I have tried explaining it to other people and they don’t usually seem to understand it, and this post describes EXACTLY what I have been feeling. I needed a reminder that I’m not the only one! I don’t know what my next step is, I’m not in a place where I can afford a house or land. But this gives me so much hope and encouragement, I know I just need to have faith and patience! Thank you so much for writing this!! I will definitely be watching for more of your posts 🙂

“I can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens me.” Phillipians 4:13
Though it reads different in different versions of the Bible, this is the one my grandmother taught me, and it has always stuck. God has called me to the road less travelled, and it can be really difficult at times. When it is, I call this verse to mind… I can do this because it is what I was CALLED to do, He called me to do it. I draw my strength from that.

I had wondered about the story of how you wound up here; looks like I am about to find out! I’ve never had anything I would call a life verse, though many call out to me. I think I need more time in the Word.

In reply to Rebekah. Rebekah, that was my grandmother's favorite verse! (The grandmother who owned the cottage under the colossal pines.)

Whenever I am worried or afraid I turn to Jeremiah 29:11, trough it I always find peace and comfort.
