Muddy Boots – My Tribe

It’s interesting how in these later years of life you find what is of great importance to you. My first part of my married life was trying to fit into my new family that I had married into as well as others that married into my family.

My goals, plans or dreams of course were soley related to my husband and that new relationship. Every family has its way of operating things you say, do and act. You are trying to learn how to fit in and be accepted. Sometimes I think you loose a part of who you are personally as you change to fit in. Some of these changes are good and some, well maybe not so great.

I’ve had a chance to really look back at things and I think there are some things I would change or do differently if I have a chance. The dynamics within these family’s are always interesting as we go through life sometimes they are tested. Even with all the things you do whether they appear as they are or perceived as something different is of course always how those around us perceive them. You can be well meaning and act that way but it is not perceived or accepted that way and change the dynamic. These dynamics can change relationships not always for the good, what once was tight is now loose and non-existent or barely hanging on.

So back to my title My Tribe. Because life changes and relationships change you do need to find your tribe. My tribe will share my belief system, my dreams and some of my goals. Don’t be afraid to accept that your tribe may contain more members that are not blood but say a “kindred spirit”. Now that doesn’t mean that you don’t care for your “family” what it means is that you surround yourself with those who have your back, stick with you, will be honesty with you and love you for who you are and not judge or treat you differently. They are the ones who rally around you and support you without question and without asking, they just do it…. they have your back always♡.

I am finding this now, my tribe those that pray, share, support and have my back regardless. It’s amazing it’s a community. It’s like we are a bunch of eclectic beautiful people, some share the faith and some don’t. The whole point of life too is not to just surround yourself with only believers if you don’t have non believers in your life how else would you share your faith♡.

So I am looking forward to this next chapter, my new tribe. It’s amazing how God brings these new people into your life and how we need each other. We share the same views and we support oneanother automatically and its so nice to have those who beleive and share similar views. I have decided to focus my energy on those that share my tribes views, and pour myself into those lives. You can’t change what others in your life believe or think if they are not willing to look at it. But you can continue to pray for them as usual ♡ and hope for change.

We are living in such interesting days and now more then ever we need our tribe. We need Jesus!

I am grateful for those in my life that share my faith, my homesteading life, the simplistic approach to life. It’s a remnant not a huge group but a family.

So if you are trying to weather all the changes that have gone on the last year and a half plus find your tribe, pray that God will lead you to the right people. Encourage one another, life each other up, support each other and share your dreams and passions even though there is not much time left in the this world we still need to plan and live and share Jesus.

Love y’all
