Hello, I’m a 30 year old woman with a family. The Lord has called me to uproot from Texas to Roan Mountain, TN or the surrounding area. We are not a religious family, but the Lord is the center of our lives. We used to call ourselves Christians, but we no longer do. We are simply Followers of Christ. Our lives are devoted to Him and being His hands & feet. I, specifically, am called as a mouthpiece. I have gifts of singing, speaking, and prophecy. I am not sure what my assignment is in TN yet, nor do I even have the financial means to move yet, but I trust the Lord will provide all. We simply seek to obey Him. What’s about to come out of my mouth next is a little wild, but God said to ask, so I’m asking (with a little explaining):
We plan to homestead and be as self reliant as possible. however I am also an Insurance Agent with an Agency, so I will be balancing that for income, as well as homesteading, and homeschooling my children. I grew up on a 100 acre farm here in Texas and have the experience and knowledge of working the land. I also went to nursing school but did not finish as God changed my career path, however my passion for healing has remained. I have a passion for the young, the elderly, and grieving parents, as I lost my first born at birth when I was 18 yrs old.
I’ve just answered the Lord’s call on my life this past year and He has sort of drug me through about every hill of muck and mud possible this past year in preparation for what I now know as my “Assignment”. I have been called to relocate specifically to Roan Mountain, but upon a posting elsewhere, I did have a response from someone in Rogersville and when I asked the Lord if it was from Him, He said yes, but that fell to the wayside as they stopped reaching back out. So I believe it may be alright for the location to be slightly off. So now, a month or more later since that response, God is urging me to post again— but to post here for the first time. So I am obeying, silly as it may feel lol.
So— The Lord has shown me I am to eventually transition from insurance providing my income into holistic medicine providing it. I am very “crunchy” & believe that God gave us all we need to heal our bodies within nature. I have been creating tinctures, salves, ointments, and teas from natural sources for my own family for the past five years, healing my own chronic autoimmune disorders, and related lung issues in the process. I’ve also helped a person heal naturally from the big bad “C”. So I think the Lord is going to have me probably making those things for others. Some of it will be profitable but some will be given freely to the poor, sick, & needy- and that’s the goal. There may come a time when I will not have income. Working for the Lord often does mean that no money exchange is involved. Quite frankly, I am perfectly content with a life in which money is not required to survive. Although I acknowledge its role in society and have basked in it’s glory in the past, I now see it as a tool for evil, something I wish to be no part of. I seek to eventually not only self-sustain, but to also making a living from the fruits of our labor, I.e. the things we grow, raise & harvest beyond just holistic medicine. I remember a world when I was tiny, maybe 2 or 3 yrs old, that looked like a Sunday morning every day; eggs on the stove, grandma reading her Bible, us watering plants, tilling the garden, milking the cow, fixing a fence, feeding the chickens… a slow, but steady life full of intention, that sustained my grandmother and her family. That’s what my heart desires, and I believe that I desire it because it’s somehow the lifestyle required of me for whatever my “assignment” is. & I believe that the Lord will provide it if it is in His will.
That said, we are looking for a small area of land that I could homestead freely, in exchange for stewardship of the land. I know that squatters taking land is an issue in remote areas, and I seek to help solve that issue for someone by keeping the property taken care of and free from trespassers. I don’t know what I have to offer to anyone in exchange other than that. I cannot promise money for I have none & I cannot promise money in the future because I may not have any, but I can promise that wherever the Lord sends us, whatever He sends us, we will treat like the gift from the Lord that it is; we will love and nurture it as if it were our own and we will defend it when necessary. We are coming to TN to serve the Lord and His Will is our number one priority. I believe the person the Lord has in mind will come along eventually, and I thank you in advance for your obedience to the Father. Your obedience will bless our family; may God bless yours.
