As I learn to come to terms with the fact that mom is no longer here, I find myself facing an uncertain future…

Recently, I woke from a bad dream that left me feeling lost and alone – leaving me deluged with questions about what my uncertain future will look like! Questions that include whether or not I will be continuing life in our little homestead on wheels!

While I admit to crying myself to sleep… and shedding tears at the most inopportune moments, my faith reminds me that I am the daughter of the King. His word promises that He will provide for my needs of food, clothing and shelter! (See Matthew 6:25-34 and Isaiah 32:18)

Since a steady income is necessary to pay the bills, part of my days have been spent seeking employment and filling out job applications. And while income is an essential need right now, I find myself wondering about this journey that mom and I began over 6 years ago…

Should I stay in my current location to seek out a more traditional homestead? Or should I try to continue living my life in our little homestead on wheels – enjoying the homesteading lifestyle wherever the road takes me?!?

My first thought is to secure steady income in the traditional manner – working for someone else. However, I am continuing to work my side hustle as an independent consultant with this company.

After the dust settles, I’ll figure out what to do regarding this little homestead on wheels…

Having to face an uncertain future is scary! I just need to remember to take each day as it comes!

Thankfully, Gods word promises that He’s our helper in times of trouble. So, there is no need to worry about tomorrow… because tomorrow will have enough to worry about!

Until next time,

Peace, love and safe travels!

The grief I’ve been feeling since the unexpected passing of my mother has been hard to process… Wading through paperwork and her personal belongings has put my emotions into a tailspin!

I am not okay…

Adding to my emotional turmoil is the stress of finding a job – and quickly!

To make matters worse, my truck has decided to act up! And trust me when I say that finding a decent mechanic – within my current budget – has been like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

Moving forward has not been easy!

And there’s something else that’s been bamboozling me recently… my well-meaning friends expect me to be ‘okay,’ – when clearly, I am not!

Don’t they understand that I am mourning?!?

My grief is not a switch that I can turn on and off at random! Each person grieves in their own way and in their own time!

I understand they want me to be ‘okay.’ But sometimes their kind words do more harm than good…

For example… someone was kind enough to check in on me, asking me how I was doing. So, I told them… they basically told me that I need to be over it already!

Seriously?!?

I wanted to scream at them through the phone!

It’s times like these that I just want to close myself off from the rest of the world… yet I know that I need people in my life… even when they don’t understand that my grief comes in waves… one minute I might be fine… and the next, I feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under me!

What I am most thankful for is my faith. It keeps me going even when I don’t think I can get through another day!

Today, I’m not okay… but I will be… eventually!

Until next time,

Peace, love and safe travels!
