My New Year Wish

I came across this the other day, and asked myself...Could I? Would I?

Apparently this brave and very smart woman (and her family) did!

This is the subtitle of her blog...

My Year Living On Food Storage

So I have a years supply of food. The question is, can I live off it? That's what I'm going to find out in 2010 by going an entire year eating only from our one year supply of food storage. No small feat for a family of 8. Follow along on my journey ~ should get interesting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So with that thought in mind and as the year comes to an end, I bear you my witness that the Lord has spoken. He has for many, many years. All we have to do is listen. The Lord has spoken through our Prophet's and they have warned and counseled us to obey.

It is possible to accomplish many hard things. One small step at a time. One willing heart, upon bended knees. We are loved and a way is prepared for us to accomplish the given task.
Please consider this New Year, to be better prepared... Spiritually, Physically, Financially, and Temporally. Then after you have become prepared, help strengthen your neighbor.

I don't know the turn this blog will take. I think as a Stake we will be devoting our time more to strengthening our ward Preparedness/Providently Specialist who in turn will be teaching and strengthening the interested sisters in each ward. Please take heed, go through the blog post and give some ideas a try. You will have nothing to loose by doing so.

Strengthen your Testimonies, Follow The Prophet's, they will not lead you astray. In all things give thanks unto Christ.

"I bear my humble witness to you that the great God of heaven will open doors and means in a way we never would have supposed to help all those who truly want to get their year’s supply. The Lord will make it possible, if we make a firm commitment,... All we have to do is to decide, commit to do it, and then keep the commitment. Miracles will take place; the way will be opened, we will have our storage areas filled. We will prove through our actions our willingness to follow our beloved Prophet and the Brethren, which will bring security to us and our families."

If in the period of our lives we are never personally called upon to use our food storage, let us find satisfaction in that special blessing and rejoice in the fact that, regardless of the outcome, we have been ever willing to be obedient.
