This one is kind of heavy...


This video is just me being very open and honest to those followers who take the time to support me, encourage me, and watch these videos. I've got an overall plan, but the variables may be difficult to sort through, so check it out and see what you think. As always, I appreciate your help and concern.

I cant stop watching the video. You always there to set examples to your followers. Keep the good work doing.

Praying for you brother! My advice is land . I wish I had more, I would love to have 40 acres and build smack dab in the middle of it. But most of all follow the Lords leading.

When I was a kid, our family spent almost a year living in a trailer home. There were 9 children and my parents living together in this house on wheels. It was cozy. You really learn to love your family when you're that close.

The Pepper's haven't reached 11 yet but you're getting closer. You could probably weather a couple years in a mobile home together while you Steem your way to the Tank house on 40 acres. Either way you go, I'm really looking forward to one day seeing a picture of this under construction.

NIce job pulling that one out! We will see what happens, and thanks for your input!

I don't comment often and I just happened to click on this video of yours today...sometime God does put things in your path, even your own talk about this.

We have thought of this so many times ourselves but in our own version (not tons of land for farming which I'd love but @winstonalden would hate;) ) but these type of decisions.

For my two cents to you and completely not asked, my advice is land...LAND LAND LAND you cannot make or build more land...Buy Land. Go to where the land is and get as much as you can afford.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with modular housing but it's factory made housing sort of a step up from mobile homes adn you can design off basic shapes. They are made quicker in a factory and delivered and assembled not as expensive as traditional stick build onsite housing. You could start with a good base shape on your 40 acres and plan openings and doorways to be future connections as you can afford to add another house to that and keep growing it, meanwhile you have LAND to spread out and increase your garden and animals and your homestead.

For what it's worth from the words of a complete stranger who has nothing to gain or lose by your decisions, I just felt compelled to type this to you. The best of luck to your family and follow your hearts. :)

Completely agree @donnadavisart Land.....that's payed for.

Thank you for your input. I sincerely appreciate it.

God bless you and your family brother. Dont stress on it to much.

Mobile homes are built pretty poorly, but they can work as a home-base until your plan materializes! I admit, I used to have somewhat of a stigma against them...until I started living in one. We bought some land that had an old mobile home with plans to build our Real house next year or so. Our single-wide may be considered small, but totally fine for our family. I know your family is bigger than mine, but I had a friend once tell me, "love grows large within small walls." And like they say, they're not making any new land. But I can see why it's a tough decision.

And as for quitting Steemit, I can totally understand that. I have often gotten weary of the falseness of much of the "community" of the platform at large. Homesteading is kind of a weird corner of it for us, where there's often actually real people, but even glancing at the comments on this blog, I can see so many comments from people who have obviously not listened to your video. It's frustrating for me to see things like that at first, but then I look out the window at my ducks and chickens and the place where I'm going to put our first garden, and it all fades in an instant. I've been really enjoying REAL life, kind of like what you posted a few days ago--the life that I don't share on Steemit, the life where what I do remains when I close the computer and walk away.

I guess the only thing I could say (without knowing your family but believing you when you say that you follow the Father) is to never make a decision based on fear of anything or anyone other than the Father alone. He always provides!

Amen to that!

I cant stop watching this video papa you have been father your dedication to your work and family has motivate me also i pray many more of your plan work weldone
