Our 1st Family Vision

Okay! It has been a good minute or two since a good update on what we're doing.

One thing I want to remind readers:

"When our Father In Heaven asks us to move forward, we act. Here is what we have acted on!"

Last spring I got the clear answer to prepare for the Next Journey. This journey was centered on our "Home"

Not the typical meaning of the word. Rather the idea that our family would grow a deeper bond and connection towards each other. It was also to create safety for our children. I was given a list of action steps to take, which I have spent the year doing.

In the grand scheme of it all... we are moving!

We Sold our House, purchased a camper, and moving our family onto better things! This has been our family dream for 9 years now! And I cannot believe the amount of opposition that was pushing against us. However we can say, we DID It! We jumped over that wall with flying colors!

Here's how it went

Packing

Packing started back in May 2021. Slowly adding things to a box, and setting it aside. I was also pregnant at this time, so we were also focused in getting the house ready to birth my son in.

It wasn't until August 2021 that I started to really see everything coming together.

We had a cabin set on some land that we were hoping to buy.

I was able to create a 'haven' for my children in this Cabin. I only packed what I knew we could use in the cabin to make it comfortable when we were there!

Unfortunately, we were unable to reside in the cabin on this piece of land. So we made it what we could, an office space and a temporary campsite while we envisioned building a home.

TIP: CHECK IN

While I envisioned our future home, I was able to clearly decide what I wanted to pack and carry with us. And what I felt I needed to let go of!

I am Very surprised at the amount of items (or 'Contracts' is what we call them in our home) we held onto based on the quick/temporary satisfaction it gave us, or the idea that we can make it something later because we probably wouldn't find the opportunity again!

Boy was I Wrong!!

I took in a BUNCH of projects that just layed around for 3 years, because I was afraid of the opportunity never coming again!

After learning this, I pondered how many opportunities I may have missed due to me holding onto something that's small compared to what I'm capable of!

TIP: REMIND YOURSELF OFTEN

I repeated these words over a Thousand Times:

"Let It Go."

I took deep breaths, and pictured myself being offered newer and bigger opportunities for success later, after letting it go completely.

It was SO much easier to let go of things after this.

When you let go, making room for higher quality, you bring in the opportunities for such.

Listing The House

When we got our answer to list the house for sale, it was June of 2021. (This is the timeframe fruits begin to really pop up in the garden)

We felt the listing was to help us get the house into a beautiful finished state.

We worked hard!

Listing this house also helped us create the beautiful birth suite for the baby just in time!

AIRB&B/VRBO

Around August 2021, Jamon created an ad for AirB&B and VRBO. He left it inactive. But ready in case we didn't sell the house, we could use it as income.

3 days after the birth of my 5th son, the Listing on AirB&B went Live. It was on accident, and we werent aware of it, until we got an email saying someone booked the house!!

We listed it in our unfinished state, however they were totally fine, they just needed somewhere to sleep and somewhere to go to the bathroom!

At this time, having just given birth, I was not ready to up and leave for a week while someone stayed in the house. So we called and let them cancel their reservation. Then we deactivated the house on the website.

In January 2022, somehow the house went live AGAIN! Someone reserved the house directly after going live, again.

This time we definitely considered it, however we were impressed to move forward selling the house and spending our time making it worth selling, and not focusing so much on the staging and stocking on the house to rent.

So we called them and had them cancel their reservation.

Back and Forth

In January 2022, I was on my knees asking my Father in Heaven for Clarity. With so many opportunities at my door, and conflicting opinions of friends and family, I wanted to make sure I was in tune, being guided with the spirit, and accomplishing what I need to do, to live fully in my mission.

I was guided to let go of it all!

I felt the need to let go of our house, our garden, etc.

This was HARD to grasp, and it was Even HARDER to help others grasp this concept. You best believe the opinions were FLYING through our ears!

However I had to learn very quickly, the opinions are not answers. They are simply worries and expressions of love and care from those around us. And I can listen to understand these opinions to know the feelings of others. Though I was to be strict, and listen to follow what the spirit is showing me.

"If you want to influence others to your way of thinking, you must first learn to respect the opinions of others"

We listed the house with an Agent in February 2022. We felt an urgency and we acted.

As we were conflicted with opinions and the desires we set forth when we got here, it became harder to see clearly the vision we were reaching for. We canceled the contract to sell at the end of March 2022.

I was loaned a book called

"Parenting A House United" Teaching Self Government by Nicholeen Peck.

What perfect timing! I wanted to make sure with all the back and forth energy in our home, that my children were going to survive and thrive emotionally and mentally through this journey.

This book was a lifesaver! It taught me some epic life skills to teach my boys and learn for myself!

I highly recommend it, I can also listen to it on Audible!

About a month later, we recognized how others opinions were affecting the choices we made. We care so much, and we highly respect the opinions of family and friends, however we saw ourselves editing our lives around those opinions, which created a shaken foundation.

We got back on track, and wrote down exactly what God wanted for our family and the steps to achieve it. We listed first Everything that felt right. And then what we think will make it better. This list became our steps for our Family Vision!

A Family Vision is a common vision that you, and the members of your household, share to achieve.

When we declared our family vision, and the children could see it in their minds, it was much easier staying on task!

June 2022, We listed the house again with a different agent, with the terms that we would have the house sold by July!

This was only 1 month away.

It felt good to get back on the rails, and go full speed.

Showings

This agent was on it.

He got people in for showing all the time.

As a mom of 5 boys, it was difficult Packing the house, selling items, feeding and teaching the boys, cleaning everything and then showing the house, most of the time with little notice.

It did teach me how to have a better system so there's less cleaning before a showing. And the faster I downsized the less cleaning I had to do.

We found the camper!

It was big enough for our whole family, And beautiful. Something i felt we coule live in comfortably.

Definitely not the first one we looked at. We found several before this, however this one came up and it all felt so right!

After we found it, we went back to see some of the other ones we have previously scouted out. And I laughed. I couldn't believe I had actually considered these other ones. Ones that would have made things a lot harder for us as a big family.

We had to revisit our Family Vision when making a decision on a camper. For a full time living situation and traveling and teaching, we knew we found the right one.

Closing

After Father's Day, there was a bidding war on our house, and we ended up getting our asking price for the house.

After we settled on an offer, Jamon left for UT for a permaculture class. He was planning on being gone for 2 weeks. So I was at the duty of packing the rest of the house and moving my family out!!

I also had to move the beehive to a new location with the help of our friend who happens to be an 20 yr experienced beekeeper!

That was Quite the experience for me!

We got the Camper the day my husband returned home and we were out of our house the next day! Within an hour of being out, the new owner went in!

Expect Miracles

"Each and every little Miracle that you recognize, will give you momentum to keep going!"

It is a literal Miracle how everything has been coming together!

The amount of times I hit my knees and pray for strength to keep going was high. Remember to count the things that line up one after the other. Each and every little Miracle that you recognize will give you momentum to keep going!

After we were able to get a good night's sleep, we were told we have multiple jobs, lining us up for an epic TIAG (The Independent American Gardeners) tour

We sat our children down and expressed our joy and accomplishment in completing our Family Vision. And just like my 6 yr old son said;

"Now we can create a new Family Vision!"

I am so proud to say my boys are getting Excited for visualizing their future with their family!
