This is about a Preparation Call. I certainly don’t like the gloom and doom messages or fearmongering that was rampant during the “prepper era”. The reality is, times are difficult and likely going to get more difficult as we move forward. I must admit I’ve been hesitant to really share what was on my heart over the years because I didn’t want people to misinterpret the message.
Obviously, in my mind I’m not a pessimist. I have a faith that is optimistic about the future, and confident in the outcome. That doesn’t change the realities and difficulties that we most certainly will face. That also does not alter the concerns I have for individuals and families that will refuse to see what we are facing.
I agree with the power of positive thinking to alter an individual’s course in life, but I’m not sure positive thinking can alter a war or divert a natural disaster. Certainly, individuals can have an impact on the course of history – and if enough individuals will embrace they can be a major catalyst for change.

Today, unfortunately, I’m not feeling overly positive about the choices that many individuals have been making collectively – and the world is certainly impacted. I’d like to believe we have an opportunity to fix things for the better. Is it possible to alter the outcomes when the prophets of old have foreseen the difficulties that we are about to endure? No one knows the timeline for future events and no one can predict how things will unfold. We can pray for wisdom, and can prepare ourselves and our families for whatever difficulties may come.
Being prepared does not mean living without hope and excitement for the future. It does not mean giving up enjoyment of life and crawling into a cave. It certainly does not mean loading up on ammo and booby trapping your home waiting for the zombies to come.
A preparation call is being aware that there are storm clouds on the horizon and you should probably bring in the laundry. Take some extra efforts to get things organized and in better order. Be sure to think of your family and make some extra plans for them – because they may not be looking ahead and preparing.
