Thank You Mr. Rawles,
My husband and I are new readers of SurvivalBlog; we have been so encouraged/convicted/moved/enlightened/blessed by your wisdom.
Gertrude’s “Bloom Where You’re Planted” article, for me, was amazing. It’s the “if she can do it, anyone can do it’ – I am encouraged. I don’t really have words for what I’m trying to say, just that I don’t feel so overwhelmed now after reading her words.
We are just in the baby beginning stages of preparedness. My amazing husband is leading us in the most right direction, and is a very steady purposeful man. I trust him and his ability completely.
I think to sum up this attempt at an email to you Mr. Rawles, is that hearing Gertrude’s calm direction and wisdom has changed my entire approach, or my thinking….does that make sense?
Ultimately, my trust rests in my most Gracious God, and then, He knows my fears and doubts and places folks like Gertrude in my path. I am grateful. Blessings on you, – Kristy in Oregon
