    I just want to give a testimony and thank God here on this platform. My husband is getting a 3rd raise In a year and a half at his new job. His previous job didn’t give him a raise for 10 years. He looked and looked for a job and nothing was available until he heard about this job. That’s another testimony in itself. We don’t live high on the hog at all. We live in a small 2 bedroom townhouse and would like to buy a house in the country with 5 acres. Right now that’s not possible. I’m paying down debt and trying to stock up as best as i can. Just wanted to thank God for getting my husband this job.

    I think people forget how many families lost their homes their farms etc during the great depression… this is why families that were born or living thru that time learned to one not trust the banks but also they for the most part didn’t buy in credit. My grandparents now I’m 53 my grandfather when he died was 93 and he and my grandma would never buy anything on credit! They went without until they had enough money. They raised 7 children in a small peanut farm in south Alabama… grandma and grandpa didn’t even have an indoor bathroom until the late 1970… I remember my momma and daddy building it for them… I was taught to sew on her tredle sewing machine. Still have it today… when I was raising my five on my own I pulled from what granny taught me! Praise god! She taught me to make clothes out of sheets. To remake items for what we needed… people honestly have no idea what is coming!! And honestly I am not sure most will be able to handle it!

Went up to pick one out and darn the sign said 5.89 ea.!!! Nope, Im not going to pay that and looked and watermelons were 10.00!! Then God pointed to a old cardboard box with a sign , Over ripe fruit 1.00 ea!!!! I looked in it and darn, there was my Cantaloupe, rough on the outside but I bought that Cantaloupe for 1.00 took it home , cut her open and she was so pretty, ripe and sweet! Never judge anything from what's on the outside, it's what's inside that counts! Amen

    Patara, you were right about Washington. I'm right outside the capital by 45 minutes in a small farm community. Our local school levy just failed because the homeowners cant afford to pay the increase. So the following week, last Monday, 130 teachers walked in to school at 7am and got their pink slips. Our small high school kids were up in arms! They had a walkout and protest at the park. They don't want to lose their favorite teachers but no one can afford another tax increase. Now, I took my kids out of public school when Covid hit and they never went back. So this doesn't affect my family but it's a hard situation all around. Schools are getting shut down because there is no money to run them, to pay teachers or for bus transport. Truth.

    I do know that this is deliberate. Nothing happening is by chance or incompetence. I do try to keep up with what is going on, as I’m certain we will see major civil unrest before the election. Some have said it will be between illegals and citizens. No one knows except for those that are stoking the flames of unrest. I am prepping as hard as I can with limited space and a fixed income. I’ve been looking for a job for the last year since being laid off. No one wants to hire a woman in her mid sixties who physically can’t work a job that requires standing/walking. I feel useless. It really can make you question your worth. Please continue to pray hard. Prep, and repeat. We can never pray too much, much like we can’t prep too much.

    I'm reminded of the first time I visited my Grandmother after my Granddad had passed. She was busy as she always had been but the feel of the house was very much in grief. That feeling was emphasized when no one sat in my Granddad's chair at supper. Permanent change had.come. Permanent, irrevocable change. That's what I feel these days. What we all have grown up is ending, not by the grace of God as my Grandfather did, but with cruel, calculated intention. It has been said that the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. Perhaps, Patera, that is the most precise definition of evil that I've ever come across. Stay safe.

    Hi, i really love your videos. I inherited a home because my step dad died a few years ago, but even though i did it is still very hard for me as i only get so much in my checks. Gas is what is killing My budget. My situation Is ok yes and no. Even though i own my home, just became a home owner, but i struggle on a daily basis as a single 36 year old. I can only afford so much food, had to cut off alot but I’m hanging in there, i payed off my banks i owed and im debt free, but any other luxuries i simply just don’t have time for. I really hope things get better.
    I don’t have a credit card and even though i could easily go get one, i refuse the temptation even though i see my friends going out and buying new cars and maxing out their cards, i chose to lay low and stay focused, while everyone is building up their debt i try hard every day to be one step closer to be ready and prepared.
    God bless you and i really appreciate your videos

    You keep encouraging me to do more prepping - so I bought a freezer to stock up on meat and veggies and fruits. A friend is going to loan me her dehydrator so I can try it out and see if I want to buy one. I have started walking daily. I started out with 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back, increasing it by 5 minutes each way daily, until I can walk for a few hours at a time. I don't know how to can or bake bread in these very high elevations - nothing seems to cook properly - beans stay hard and bread goes flat - but I will keep trying. I am 74 years old, and I keep on prepping in as many ways as possible. I start every day with Bible reading and prayer, and memorizing scriptures. And you're right - our best and only true hope is Jesus.

He rejoices with us when we sing His praise. He created 7 days to do His work. He is there beside you . Just turn your eyes.

    It puts things into perspective.
    During the storm. After the storm. The last thing on your mind is world war. Politics. Inflation. Debt. Or even a job.

    I’ve tried that with the crescent rolls. We didn’t like how it was still slightly gooey underneath while the top was brown. The next time I made it I cooked the topping separately for about 3-5 minutes. Took it out and flipped it over onto the filling and let it keep on cooking. We really enjoyed it. It was more crispy on the bottom. Just an idea in case anyone else didn’t like the texture of the bottom of the crescent roll.

    Thank you, Patara. Good advice, as always. God is on his throne. He placed us here at this time to glorify him with our lives in whatever life we were called to. We have had easy and comfortable lives compared to 99% of people that have ever lived on this earth. His Word calls us to Christ, and gives us all we need to live our lives as believers. Let us live for him. Be a regular worshipper at your local church. Be a godly man or woman. Love God and your neighbor. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it for God, be it your marriage, your children, or your work. Read Proverbs and get wisdom- read the Word, get up early and work, don’t borrow or lend, put away for tomorrow, and help your neighbor and seek his good. Don’t be anxious, but I all things with prayer and THANKSGIVING, tell God your worries and needs. We can’t control the government, but we are good citizens and pay our taxes. And when you have done all you can do, rest in Christ for this life is but a vapor.

    Last year my property taxes went up 4 times , over 5,000 dollar's more every year. I now pay over 16 thousand dollars a year for one bathroom, three bedrooms on a 32 foot by 105 foot property. It"s insane.
