Preparing the "field"

"Grant, I heard a story about two farmers who desperately needed rain. And both of them prayed for rain, but only one of them went out and prepared his fields to receive it. Which one do you think trusted God to send the rain?" Well, the one prepared his fields for it. Which one are you? Mr. Bridges continued. "God will send the rain when He's ready. You need to prepare your field to receive it." ~ Facing The Giants

My husband wants to come home full time. He wants to build our dreams, spend time with his family, and not have to punch a time card. I want to have my husband home full time. We have fun working together. I love spending all my time with him ... I miss him when he's at work. Our children want their daddy home. They love spending time with him, learning from him, working with him. It's time ... so we are "preparing our fields."

We've always had home businesses ... but we are clearing the path for a family business, more specifically a family "homestead" business. It's time we live off the land God has given us. We will soon be adding a "line" of products to our new "FOR SALE" page. 

We will be marking our calendar. Exactly 2 months after we sell our first homestead product, my dad will be cutting his hours in half. Exactly 2 months after that he will be giving his 30 day notice.  Exactly 30 days from then, he will be home full time AND ... we will go back to living on our homestead full time.

The above plan gives us 6 months (it will take us at least 30 days to release our first homestead product for sale) to get some financial things handled and prepare our place for our homecoming. 

We are all so very excited!!! We are preparing for your rain, Lord!!!
