Living Providently is a precious gift as it allows families to be self-sustaining in times of crisis and uncertainty. Currently this country, even this world is in a state of chaos as providers are laid off from their jobs or are feeling the tension with the economy the way it is. With no income coming into the home it makes payments tight. Rent or house payments, car payments, credit cards, school loans, or whatever other debt you may have can feel like an elephant on your shoulders.

Unfortunately some families have turned to credit cards to help pay bills, buy food or other necessities making the cycle even harder to break as those payments with interest rates soaring, make it seem impossible to pay off.

Add ill health or a natural disaster to all of this and it’s hard to know where to turn.

LivingProvident.com is dedicated to helping you ready your home and family to be able to conquer whatever challenge comes your way. Between learning what you can here and relying on your family and your faith you should be able to weather any storm.

In this Provident Living section you will be able to find all sorts of resources as I develop and expand this site.

I have a Food Page where you can get information on food storage including canning, freezing, dehydrating, cooking with food storage and many other great resources.

I also have an Emergency Preparedness Plan where I am offering a step by step monthly guide of how to prepare your family.  This guide provides you goals of what to obtain that month and if it is a food item I will also provide recipes of how to use the storage item.

I have also created a Craft Area where I plan on providing resources for inexpensive gift giving ideas.

In the future I will develop a finance area among other great resources.
