A few years ago, I
began to feel a prompting from The Lord to "prepare and return to
basics". At the time, I had no idea what that meant or even how to
begin. As time went by, I am ashamed to say, I ignored that prompting,
yet the feeling became stronger and stronger.
By
November of 2010, the feeling was so overwhelming that I could not
sleep, waking during the night with thoughts swirling. Being around the
Christmas season, I was looking for meaningful (and affordable) gifts
for my family. I came across a website that offered "Birth Verses" (
http://www.birthverse.com/)
based on the date of your birth. "How Neat!", I thought. Of course, the
first verse I looked up was my own... November 14th. This is what it
said, "Acts 11:14 (NIV); He will bring you a message through which you
and all your household will be saved."
At that moment, I stopped
ignoring that strong feeling to prepare my family. I believe this was
The Lord's way of "waking me up". I began praying about this feeling,
that The Lord would show me what it meant and give me wisdom. Since that
time, The Lord has put in my path many, many people that have felt a
similar prompting, if not the same one.
