Inspiration.......

For the past couple of years I have been wanting to get my food storage/year supply done. Everytime I would start to think about it I got overwhelmed and told myself I would tackle it another day.
With the current state of the economy, everyone has felt a pinch in some form or another. I know that it is only a matter of time before we will need to rely on our food storage for survival. Taylor and I are in charge of our family, right? We need to be prepared when hard times come our way.
I feel that with 4 children and the ongoing advice from the prophets that it is finally time for me to stop "talking" about being prepared and actually "do" something that will better our situation. I have been praying for weeks that I would find something (as far as preparing for hard times) that would make sense to me and that would be easy to apply to our lifestyle. I received this email this morning. It was a direct answer to my prayers! I am so grateful that someone was in tune with the spirit and felt prompted to share this email. It has simplified this process for me and I now feel confident that I can get prepared!!

**I printed off this list and added a couple of things to better fit the needs of my family, but this is a GREAT starting point.
