Quite A Leap Down The Path

It has been a long time since I have blogged on here. So many things have happened. And so I have decided to start again and try to journal about the new path I have decided to take. So the next few blog posts will be covering things that have happened and gotten me to where I am currently. First, I will start out by saying that, over a year ago the Lord put it on my heart to get my house in order and to get prepared. For what I wasn't sure. But I took the plunge and began researching preparedness sites. After many months of searching and tons of reading, I came upon a blog that really made things simple for me. It was a step by step guide to building a 72 hour kit or a group of bags that have all the supplies you would need to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of three days should there be an emergency or evacuation of your area. I was intrigued. I followed the blog for several weeks and saw that the author of the blog was also a Thrive Life consultant. I had also searched out many companies that provided freeze dried and long term food storage. So I emailed the author and asked for some samples. She lived in California at the time but was willing to mail me some sample out. She also included a recipe to make some soup. My family and I were super excited to try the samples and the soup that we received in May of 2012. We loved the individual samples but when we tried the soup, well let's just say it wasn't our favorite. So Thrive Life foods went on the back burner of my mind as I continue to follow the blog and gradually put my and my families 72 hour kits together.
