Idle...

We are at 'idle' right now. Not sure whether we are coming or going. No direction. No idea as to what to do next. Idle...

Can I just say 'idle' stinks! I know our God has a plan for us. Not sure what that is at this point but I am keeping my eyes on Him anxiously awaiting to see what He does next.

We are praying for a job for Michael. A job for me and a job for our teenage daughter. Now if Michael can make enough for me to not work that would be great. Our daughter wants to work to make some spending money and I think it will be good for her.

We need a job so we can continue our hand at homesteading. It has been great up to this point. To have a small homestead you need money. Money for equipment and feed for your animals...all things we knew before getting into this. At the time Michael had a great job that afforded us to have all this. When that job left us and another didn't come along we couldn't maintain the farm. It is sad really. We've always dreamed of having our own farm. We've read many books in educating ourselves and now we are at 'idle' with everything because none of us have a job.

We aren't naive, we knew it would be hard building a homestead on a piece of property that was a blank slate...we were so up for the challenge. One just can't do all the things needed on a homestead without money so for now, we sit at 'idle'.

Keep on reading this blog to find out what happens. I am sure it will be interesting if nothing else.

See you soon!
