Plan in The Last Days!

Today is a day of chaos, sadness, and disbelief, But as I watch the economy today I worry about the life of my children and their children. About the things that I can and cant give them. Not even having a college education today makes it a secure world for us. We have been told so many time that these are the last days. But do we really comprehend what that means? Do we know the extent of what we need to do to be prepared?

We know we need Food Storage, we know we need 72 Hour kits ready. But we need more, we need a plan. Sit down with your families no matter how young or old they are. Discuss the issues at hand. Create a plan on what needs to be done.

What is a plan?,

It is the means in which we provide a secure and orderly way of making sure that we as a family know what to do in means of an emergency!

How do we do that?

Be Open with your children! Don't hide things from them because you think they cant Handel it or think it is not that big of a deal. Talk to them as if they are your peer. It will gain a respect on both ends, this is no playing matter and they will take you more seriously if you treat them more seriously.

Devise plans, more than one. Think of as many possible things that may happen and worst case scenario, BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!!!! The more you discuss it and the more open you are the better your family will be prepared. If the roads are closed down and I cant get to my family where will we meet. In town and out of Town. No matter how crazy, talk about it!

Set aside monthly payment for food storage and 72 hour kits. For young families keep up with it now. It will be so much easier as your family grows to buy one new kit at a time instead of six.

Preparing is key and essential for survival those who are prepared now will be okay, Those who take this lightly and don't worry will suffer and their children with them.

My words by no means are inspired or of professional opinion but I believe them and I will stand behind them and encourage all to listen.

Take the boy scouts advice "Be Prepared"

I pray for alls safety and no matter where life takes us God will Bless us if we listen to his counsel!!!!

Best of Luck to you all
Annie!!

KayteLynns Birthday!!!

My Kids are growing every day!!! It seems a little unfair. My baby just turned one last Saturday, October 25,2008. It was a fun day. We didn't have the usual birthday celebration. She is one I really don't think she will remember!!! But it was fun. We took the kids to the little bear Bottom corn mazes. The corn mazes were a little easy to get through. McKayden(4) my friends daughter was the leader. She got us right through the mazes with no problem. She was on top of the world. And LaNea(2) looked up to McKayden and followed her and copied everything she did. Which was really good for her. We then climbed the Hay Pyramid. The kids loved that. Kayte(1) tried to follow the big girls every where. So that meant mommy had to climb to the top also. The was really high. They also had it so that we could go through the middle of it. LaNea and Mckayden thought that was pretty cool. I thought it was going to cave in. OMG!!!! That was scary, Then we all went on a haunted hay ride. The kids were so cute they were so scared but then they were shown that is was just normal people having fun and they laughed and wanted to go again!!!! Little Bear Bottom did a really good job on the haunted Hay ride and making it kid friendly for the kids. Then we went home and decorated Halloween cookies, watched a movie and then all went to bed. It was a really fun day, I am still sad that Kate is already a year old. But look forward to all her great achievements in life!!! I love my children and the great joy and frustrations they bring into omy life. I love watching them grow. I hope that I can teach them and be a good example to them.

I want to Live
I want to Love
To let my heart be free

To feel the warmth of his soul softly caressing me

My fears are deep
My tears flow freely
The bruises cut into me
Tied to a post a slave to my insecurities

I want to Live
I want to Love
To let my heart be free

To see him laugh to see him smile, because he's in love with me

The me that is wrong
The me that is proud
The me that isn't set free

My imperfections are what make me, me

I want to Live
I want to Love
To let my heart be free

And once set free, a pure eternal love that will be
