Where to start-part 5

There is one thing that I have not mentioned that I probably should have in the begining of this.  Both husband and wife need to be in some kind of agreement and have a desire for the homesteading lifestyle.  It is not an easy thing to do at first and both partners have to be willing to do what it takes to accomplish this.  I'll be honest with you-my heart was not in it completely when we started thinking about it.  I wanted a simpler lifestyle but I was not sold on the idea that this was the way.   BUT-it was my husbands strong desire and he was patient and kind and truly believed this was right for our family.  And before we started I knew it was the right thing to do--it took alot of talking and praying-but I did get there.  The concept was always appealing to me I just wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it.  Now I cannot imagine any other way of living.  As for the children.....they don't have to like it but it does make it easier.  I have found that it is easier with younger children to make this type of lifestyle change than it is for older children.  But in the end even the most reluctant teenager found great appreciation for the peace that this life brings.  Peace in a crazy world is priceless.  Blessings>faithfarm
