Claiming His Promise

Wow. What an incredible response from you all and the encouragement is amazing! Thanks for all of the feedback regarding organic eating on a budget and all of the encouragment and prayers. All very helpful and I'm sure I'll be using a lot of the advice!

Daddy Mock and I have been released of fear and worry. We are claiming his new job in Jesus' name. We are verbally claiming His provision and thanking Him for it, and like Amanda said, He does want to fulfill our desires, and if that means eating organic, He will provide the means to do so (and that doesn't just indicate monetary, I'll have you know a friend dropped off my first heirloom tomato plant for our future garden today, thanks Steph, that was so sweet--and just part of the answer to our prayers!)

Before we made the decision to move here, God promised us the following through verses either given to us while doing the mundane or through our time in the word:
-The desires of our heart
-Moving to the country and many descendants (!)
-Renewed strength
-Needs supplied

Because of His promises, it's our duty to proclaim them and thank Him for them, because He is faithful to His promise, and for that we can jump for joy!

“He who promised is faithful”

Hebrews 10:23

Do Not Worry

It's countdown to the date that Daddy Mock will be losing his job. My heart aches for him. I can't imagine the stress and the pressure that the provider of a family encounters. And yet, through this journey, he has remained strong, faithful, in God's word.

I know it's moments like these that shape and form one's character, but at times I find myself going down the slippery slope of worry. I have not yet been put in a position where organic food is a luxury, yet here we are, and I'm worrying about how to feed my family healthy food without the cost (this is where I guess I am forced to start a garden!), among other many things that have been a part of our lifestyle.

Daddy Mock and I are fully aware that money is not ours. Our savings is not ours, it's His, and whether or not it will diminish is up to Him. And we trust Him on that. Even if it means pinto beans and brown rice (organic, of course!) for every meal.
So, I ask, dear friends, how do you eat healthy but keep it relatively inexpensive?
Should we go vegetarian?!

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

Matthew 6:25-27
