Embarking on a homesteading journey can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
But remember, God equips us for the tasks He lays on our hearts. If you've decided to homestead, here are three simple steps to help you get started:
1. Start Small
You don't need to do everything at once. Focus on one or two projects that are manageable. Whether it’s starting a small garden or raising a few chickens, begin with what you can handle. Zechariah 4:10 reminds us, “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
2. Learn as You Go
Homesteading is a journey of learning and growth. Take it one day at a time, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. There’s wisdom in seeking knowledge from others and from God’s Word. Proverbs 1:5 encourages, “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.”
3. Trust in God’s Provision
Homesteading teaches us to rely on God’s provision in new ways. Whether it’s the harvest from your garden or the joy of raising animals, trust that God will provide for your needs. Matthew 6:33 reassures us, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Starting your homesteading journey is a step of faith.
Trust that God is with you in every moment, guiding your hands and your heart.
