Welcome to Trayer Wilderness.

07.05.18 Does preparedness encourage hoarding?

I thought this was such an appropriate topic being we are simplifying, yard saling and getting rid of stuff quickly and let me tell you there is such a FREEDOM in this process!

So does preparedness encourage hoarding?  I think in some ways yes and some ways no...

I think that when you are solely focused on stocking up on things and not having or learning the skills to produce the same abilities such as canning and preserving food for instance I think that you can clearly get the mindset of hoarding,  but I think when you focus no usnig the skills to preserve the food and you simple presrve ghe bounty you are viewing preparedness in a totally different way.  Where it is more the work that is the focus and the tasks benig accompiished than the actual purchasing if that makes sense.

Growth during the storm....
We are trained by our troubles...
A tree that’s planted in a rain forest is not forced to extend its roots downward in search of water therefore it remains poorly anchored and can be toppled by even a moderate wind.

By contract, the mesquite tree that’s planted in a dry desert is threatened by its hostile environment.  How does it survive?  By driving its roots down thirty feet or more into the earth, seeking for water.  By adapting and adjusting to harsh conditions, the well rooted tree becomes strong and steady against all assailants

“...This is what the Lord says:  Do not be afraid!  Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours but God’s” 2 Chronicles 


NEVER doubt that God is working in your life...  He is ALWAYS there and he will never forsake us!

“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ NLT

"Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." 3 John 2

"When we get together, I want to encourage your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours." Romans 1:12
