      Awesome! Funny, the Spirit of God led me to buy a place in Arkansas in 2021 after Biden became President. I had a deep sense that this man was a judgement on America, and I believe the destruction he will bring to America shall be epic. Having a means for food production and water access and low costs will be important as millions of Americans perish under his reign of reprobate leadership (e.g. Romans 1:18-32 leads to Isaiah 5:20 which leads to judgement of a nation of woe which we have become).
      In suffering, there is opportunity to bring broken people to the truth in Jesus Christ.

    My Grandma was born in Arkansas in 1908. She grew up extremely poor and did some serious foraging in the Ozark mountains to eat. She moved to Oregon after being widowed and I grew up next to her. She had a wealth of knowledge about foraging and homesteading. 20 years since she passed, I moved to the Ozark’s not knowing a soul there. God brought me here, back to her roots.😊

    My wife and Came to Arkansas on our honeymoon in 1971. Stayed at the Red Apple Inn in Heber Springs. We loved it so much, that we said we wanted to move here sometime in the future. In November 1974, we moved to Benton, AR. Stayed there 40 years and moved to Conway 8 years ago to be near children and G’children. We love it here, this is our forever earthly home. Side note, On April 3, 2021, we stayed at the Red Apple Inn, at the same room we stayed at on our honeymoon, exactly 50 years later.

We chose SW Arkansas because my son had made friends from here that he met in school. So he brought me here to visit and I decided to stay.

    Reminds me of when we moved. We moved to a property that wasn't set up for animals. My husband and older kids headed out and put up fences before the family moved. You should have seen our livestock trailer loaded to the roof with animals. Haha. Our rooster was on top of all the other chickens in his own cage and he crowed every single time we stopped. People looked, oh how they looked. We had our goats, sheep, turkeys, and chickens all packed in with cattle panels strapped to the top. It was so fun. So many trips were made with equipment, mostly farm.

    My husband and I were city dwellers all our lives. When our 3 sons graduated university we started looking for hunting property with a cabin - in a crazy twist of fate we found a ranch home all done in Eastern Cedar in the inside (including the ceilings) sitting on 23 acres with 2 ponds and 2 creeks! With pines and hardwoods and plenty of black walnut trees. We’re in Michigan where property is expensive and this was not what we were in the market for but we went out to look at it and we both looked at each other and knew this was it-we sold out house and couldn’t be happier. Our three boys hunt and take deer out of here every year - we built a greenhouse and have a garden. This was totally orchestrated by on High because too many things had to come together perfectly for this to happen🙂

    Welcome to the Ozarks. We moved this year to the northern ozarks of Missouri. I have driven all over the Ozarks years ago, photographing stallions for a breeder doing research. Fell in love with the beauty. I saw, in the mountains of Montana, a barn cut into the side of the mountain. The lower level had stalls in the center, and a wide loop around the outer wall, so you could ride a horse around the inside. HIGH ceilings for riding, and opened to the pasture.The upper level took hay in at the higher ground level. so hay could be dropped from above into the hay racks. The house set into the mountain across the driveway from the upper barn so you could go out the lower level door and only be a few steps from the upper barn. Your lovely mountain made me think of that...got to be gone 20 years or more since.

    I had a camp that I loved. It had no running water, an outhouse, a Barrell wood stove in the middle of the one room camp, no electricity, oil lamps for light, a fire ring out front, and a big french window looking out down a hill onto a dirt road and a big brook. I had to carry water from a spring a mile down the road by bicycle or pull sled depending on the season. I did have a propane stove with 4 burners but didn't use the oven because the smoke/carbon monoxide detector would go off. I loved that place! . God showed it to me in a flash of a vision. I had never seen it before. An hour later, I was standing on the porch and I knew this was the place I had just seen. He provided the money and favor to buy it. There were lots of other people wanting this beautiful place. Then I started to not like it so much and a discontent grew when I was there. It was time to sell it. I sold it and used the money to put a new roof on a house I had just bought about a year before. My house is on the edge of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area in the Adirondacks. I didn't need that camp on the back side of Snowy Mountain anymore because I had my quiet house on a dead end dirt road. God is good!!!!!

    My dads side of the family were all from Ozark and over to Mulberry, and Alma. Growing up we used to vacation from SE Texas area where most of my siblings and families lives. I had two cousins there in Ozark who used to call inviting us up to go hunting in the mountains and fishing the Ozark River all the time, however being a police officer didn’t give me the freedom to travel very often.
    Sadly, one of my two last cousins in Ozark recently passed away and I feel that we missed an opportunity to return to our home away from home while still having family there because we truly loved that area where we once had numerous family members who were always great guides and very generous host.
    Hopefully, someday very soon I’ll be able to bring my 3 grandkids who loves the outdoors for a nice family vacation, and hopefully find out if we’ve got any distant cousins remaining in that area. Good luck with your move and I pray you all stay safe while your taking in and enjoying what your doing.
    By the way I’ve been subscribed to the Browns at Whippoorwill Holler for more than two years, and love them as she makes me hungry every time I watch them, and once upon a time I located them on the map and if my memory’s right I believe they’re located a bit further East of Ozark. Thanks…

There are four wineries you can tour, but go on up to St. Mary's Catholic Church. The view is unbelievable. And again, welcome to Arkansas!

    The changing seasons of life are truly exciting. As we go forward and learn and grow where we're planted, sometimes the immediate satisfaction of "what we had before" isn't there. But that's okay. It's all a part of the process. I work full time, plus take care of an elderly gentleman who has dementia. There's just no time for me to have my big garden right now, so for the last two years, I've been doing a patio garden there at his house (he has the largest patio, plus, it's good therapy for him... well, for both of us). It's done well each year, and I pray it does so again this season. I do miss my big garden, and all the things that made me enjoy it so. But this is the season right now. We will make the best of it. And I know you will, too. In watching your latest videos, I'm already super-impressed with all that you've done so far. G-d bless you in YOUR new season!

      Went to High School in Heber. Loved it. I’m moving back but to the other side of the lake. Closer to Greers Ferry in Quitman. It is beautiful there. Great place to live. Before moving to Heber Springs we lived in Mountain Home. It’s beautiful there too. There’s two big lakes and the White River. Known for the best place to retire in all America. Low cost of living, great healthcare, beautiful mountains and outdoor activities. You should go check it out next time. And on a Saturday in summer go to Mountain View and check out the cultural center and caverns during the day and then to the square for free music at night. All the locals bring their instruments out to play bluegrass music. It’s about 45 minutes drive north of Heber. There is a great catfish restaurant on the river there for dinner. Family fun!

    So happy when I know someone else felt a calling to come here to Arkansas. We retired a little over a year ago - lived near Houston, TX. My dad's family is all from here and we have lived here two other times. My husband knew I really wanted to retire here and he suggested we purchase my parents old homestead, which was owned by my cousin. We did and absolutely love it here. We live near Marshall, AR and I am always posting our beautiful sunrises and sunsets!! I feel so close to God here and he is using us in our little country church. God is so good!

      My husband knew I wanted to go back home too. But mine is sending me home to my daddy broke and divorced. He decided he didn’t want a disabled wife after 28 years together. We are currently in Houston. Going to court soon. Sadly he will inherit his dads home in northeast Arkansas. Which is far enough away. But still? I cannot believe it. I know where Marshall is. Beautiful there in that area. I’ll be in the Greers Ferry/Little Red River area. I’ve heard so many saying God called them to the Ozarks. I feel like it may be a safe haven and way of life for the end times coming.

The waterfalls and water holes you'll be able to hike to in the spring with only a short drive will surprise you. Buy yourself a Tim Ernst Waterfalls book. He (and his wife) have several books. One is Arkansas hikes that are more child friendly.
    Best wishes. Work hard like the Israelites! One of the translations of Israel is "Let God prevail." I hope tying what you said and that meaning will give you strength during the more difficult times of your transition to NWA.
