I think it is finally sinking in to me... (I know I am a little slow on the uptake which is part of the problem here) that I may just be one of the unprepared virgins... the one's without the needed oil! For some reason I am one who always thinks there will be more time, but it looks as if time is running out swiftly. The Economy is going down the drain fast, the Elections are right around the corner... with frankly not the best candidates ever and one that really, really scares me... and here we sit on our mountains or at the very least, large hills of debt, with both of us working and trying to survive and with very little food storage and no 'rainy day fund' and I am thinking 'Did we already miss the boat?"
It is a very sobering thought! "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear..." Well I am on the fearful side at the moment! We are trying to get more prepared and simplify as much as we can, but is it too little too late or are we given credit for trying?
It is always overwhelming to think of all of the changes we need to make in our family's lives and especially in my own. I don't know if I am expecting to much from all of us, or not doing enough.
Anyway, I guess I will just do my best to prepare my family the best I can and store up my faith that if we are doing what we should and can we will be okay in the end.

Sheri - "Take TIME out of the equation and success is inevitable."
Refuse to live in fear. Fear and Faith can't occupy the same space at the same time. Remember what President Monson said in Conference. ENJOY THE JOURNEY. I love you so much. I'm right there with you!
I just got back from Stake Conference--we were reminded to be positive and just seek to learn. Every little bit we do does count for a great deal. Hang in there.
Sheri: To start with, this uncle loves you very much. So does the Savior. He is very good at what he does, and what he does is save the children of our Father and Mother in Heaven. He is in charge, and there really is no competition. That has already been taken care of. Not even death counts. He took care of that, too. We are promised we won't have to remain in the lone and dreary world any longer than necessary, so there is nothing to fear. Keep on loving... your family, your friends, even the day its adventures. Some adventures will be more intense than others, but we will look back on those with greater fondness for the increased learning they brought. You are one of the great mothers in Zion, and I admire all you are doing already. Tweak it some if you wish. But know you are one of my heroes. Surprised?
Hey gal. I hear you. I wish I had some profound advice for you but really just keep trying, keep the faith and call a friend! I'm always available. At least until 4! Love ya!
Just a little bit at a time. Make a goal every week to do just something little and extra to either pay off your debt or stock up on food storage. Even if it's to the amount of only $10, that's $10 more than you thought about before. The Lord knows your intentions and if you are doing all you can then you'll be alright.
