DOWNSIZING

Downsizing is one of the most important components of Readiness Living and a foundation for preparedness.  None of us want to consider parting with the conveniences that make life easy and we have taken years to acquire our treasures of jewelry, antiques, boats, time share condos and numerous other luxuries.  Deep inside though, many are sensing a warning that it is time to make some changes in our lifestyle.  Since 2000, we have been urging people to get as small as they can, not as small as we have.  Many are now being forced to downsize due to foreclosures and loss of employment caused by economic conditions.  Its a journey not an event.  In our journey over the years, God has taken us on the narrow path from Room Service to the Wilderness Buffet.  
Much of what hinders us is not sinful but rather distracting and time consuming.  In the days ahead we will need every spiritual advantage that is available to us.  As the fires of adversity increase in this day, our dependence on the world and the things in it will have to diminish.  Our dependence on divine intervention will have to increase.
I want to encourage you to make choices while you can and prepare for a time of, “Unbelievable suffering in America.”
