All is safely gathered in!

All is safely gathered in! That is the heading on the Provident Living website. http://providentliving.org I have been feeling a sense of urgency this past year about gathering together our food storage. The move and getting settled has made it difficult for us to build our food supply back up. But today as I left the Smith's case lot sale with two carts brimming to the top with canned foods, flour, and sugar I felt an amazing feeling of peace and JOY! We do not have nearly enough food to last a full year, but we are well on our way and I'm confident that we have more than enough to last three months which is the current church council. Tuesday I am going to the cannery to get 75 lb. of wheat and some other things like refried and black beans.

So far we have:
-33 lb. of noodles
-116 lb. of sugar
-115 lb. of rice
-110 lb. of white flour
-10 lb. of powdered milk
-tons and tons of canned veggies, beans, tomatoes, soups, fruit, etc.
-a freezer almost full of meats, chesses, other random foods, and water
-36 gallons of water and four cases of water bottles

I know I get excited about crazy things like food storage, but it was so comforting to restock and organize my food storage. After I finished I started to take a few snapshots. Trevor was totally making fun of me when I told him I was going to post them on my blog. Hey, it is things like this that bring me great joy!
