A future filled with hope...

I have been feeling pulled in every direction. I am tired. I am worn. But I have been away too long, and I miss being here. I have missed the connections and friends I have made here. I miss the quality time with my family, and my husband. And I miss our plans and our goals. But our dreams and goals have definitely evolved over the last year with all of the changes within our lives. And – despite the challenges we have faced – we are blessed. We have grown a little more and gotten a little older [and hopefully a little wiser] along this way. We are not the same people. So, I am not sure how this blog will evolve as well. At this point we still have uncertainties [of course with life there are always uncertainties]. We are wondering about the future – thinking about the business and our careers, family plans, homesteading ventures, ministries, etc. We are looking forward to a hope.

We have lived in our current home, here in Tennessee, for almost two years, during which time we had so much going on with settling in the home, the arrival of a new baby and our jobs that we honestly just didn’t have the time and/or energy to explore the approximately six acres on which we live. Only recently have we been able to begin to take the steps into discovering what a self-sufficient life would look like where we currently live. Someday we would love to perhaps be a little further from the ‘city life,’ but for now we are blessed with a little touch of country-feel in the middle of an urban area. We are trying to start out small, trying not to get in over our heads. We are currently working to observe the lay of the land, where water flows during rains, where the sun tends to pass by throughout the day, and learning about the wildlife (plants/trees and animals) here. A lot of exploration and research is in store for us.

So this basically is what we are starting with…
