For our family we have many times of, “Thank you, Lord, for our DAILY bread.”

We are working hard to break the generational bondage of slavery in our family. The slavery spiritual blindness, the slavery of debt and the slavery of trusting the ‘experts’. We know we’ll never be able to accomplish everything we want to, but our hope is that we are paving a way for our kids to think and live freely!

For example, our kids have no idea the restrictions of being in a classroom for most of their childhood. They really cannot grasp the limits that are imposed because they have had so much freedom with education and how their day is structured. Now to apply this same principle of liberty to all other areas of life… we’re getting there!

There are days I get discouraged and even worried, but God is growing me.

I want promises and security. I don’t want to worry about where the next ‘job’ will come from for my husband’s business. I don’t want to wonder how many DVDs I’ll sell this month. But isn’t that kind of foolish? Kind of selfish? Kind of lazy?

For our family, we do not expect anyone to ‘make it happen’ for us; no one signs our checks. Everyday we are reminded of our dependance on God…which is good. Every family is different and their needs are different.

When we have lean times it may be our own fault (lack of planning/bad choices) or sometimes it is because God causes it to rain on the just and the un-just. And part of it is simply because we are breaking free of slavery and it has a price! No matter the reason, we take personal responsibility and move forward, asking God for wisdom and daily bread. Again, we want so much more for our kids than what we were given!

We’re always looking for new ways to generate income or manage what we have even better.

8 of 10 Millionaires Started with NOTHING

We watch our grown daughters (17 and 21), who are committed to being keepers at home, get creative as they embrace an entrepreneurial lifestyle.

Most people will not consider any entrepreneurial endeavors because they do not have to.

People who complain, whine and demand for someone to make it easy for them drive me nuts!

I want to say, “Grow up and occupy a job!”

I understand the frustration of the Occupy Wall Street bunch and the original outrage of the bailouts, but what this movement has turned into is CrAzY!

Government IS out of control, but demanding they bail everyone out is insane.

If you don’t like the way a company is doing business be a capitalist, TAKE CONTROL and don’ t buy their goods/services. Tell them why you are doing this and let your money talk.

 

Real change starts at the bottom and works it’s way up!

Occupy Your Church

• Be an active member in your church

• Find ways to serve the widows and orphans
