The Land is Calling

Hello

Hi,

I can't say that I am a REAL Homesteader as of this minute. It is in my heart. I will introduce myself a bit by saying I am a homebirthing, homeschooling, Jesus Lovin, natural eating, non vaccinating kind of woman. Now that is not me in a nutshell but some of my more controversial sides (or so my in laws think).

We have just changed careers and sold our home. Right now, as we try to find a home we are all squooshed in with my parents. Wonderful parents and I love them. So we are looking for Real Estate that is extreemely overpriced in this area, little homes with no yards, crime and not much to offer in way of land. We do have water here and that is nice, I love the ocean.

But I feel we are either called to homestead or not and we have that call. So this area has propossed a bit of a problem, we definitely can't have animals and a large garden here, this is what is in my heart. I have been a bit sad, but then my husbands boss said he wanted to open up an office in TN and wanted someone to go run it. He didn't think anyone would want to go....So we are praying that God will work out the details

I am excited because TN was where I wanted to go. I am on one hand jumping up and down and on the other trying to be resonable. My parents will be so sad to see us come and then leave again, so that would be hard. On the other hand I know my honey and I want to look at what we feel is important for our family. I have dreams of  land, mountains, animals, a garden and my children playing on our land. I want a home that can accomodate a large and growing family. I want to make my own butter (hee hee), Ride our horses. I just don't see any of this happening here so it would be nice for us to set that dream in motion.

Right now we are just praying and doing some research. When I learn something I devour it so I am in reading mode. Learning all about the area how to garden there and raising animals. I am praying that God will bless this and that it is a desire He has put in our hearts. We will see what happens but for now I hear the Land Calling....

Welcome to the Homesteadblogging community! Sometimes God puts a vision on our heart that doesnt come to fruition right away, it may take a few years! I hope your time has come though! We are looking to homestead in KY!
