Love you. This was so heartfelt and deep and yes a huge blessing. Tonight especially for me as I am going through some hard stuff and you just picked me back up and remind me what is important. Hugs and love.

Heather your video is heartwarming. Not a to do list of items one MUST have. It is nice to hear no fear, lecturing or shaming. Thank you for warming our hearts today.

Heather it makes me so happy to watch and listen to you! I love you sweet friend!

This is powerful! Love this! ❤ Btw: fear is the opposite of love. You are so right. Needed to hear this today.❤❤❤

You are such a blessing just being here to me I'm going through a dark time mentality and you just talking to us helps me so much!!!!!

Faith over fear.

So glad you're doing so much better...beautiful teeth...your natural hair is so beautiful on you...but I guess you love that woven in stuff. You're such a sweet person so it doesn't matter.

Oh my gosh, my aunt and mom have this book (they live together). Of course as they were building up their household pantry, my family's house caught fire (we all made it out fine, pets included). Their pantry ended up providing for us. We only stayed for about 4 months. This happened just before the time of your journey through 2020. I used your vlogs as inspiration to stay strong through our trial. Your honesty and perseverance helped keep me from falling into a bad depression (and to keep on praying instead of throwing myself a pity party, a bad habit of mine lol). I've been trying to re-arrange our current pantry downstairs (the house has been fixed up). I'll have to borrow the book from my mom and aunt. God bless you my friend, I love you 💕

Thank you!

Loved this video. I prep for one as I'm a 76 year old widow. Best thing I can advise new preppers is to only can what your family will eat. Don't waste your time with those fancy recipes in the cookbooks. I have a small garden that I eat out of for fresh food in season. But thank God for the Farmer's market where I can get flats of food to can. It has helped greatly with my food budget.

I love this pantry.. I have a smaller pantry, and 3 freezers and 3 fridges. I believe we must prepare for anything, whether it is world events, possible health or job issues, or other reasons. I have done this since 1990.

This is so encouraging, Heather! Don't worry about repeating yourself... there are so many here, who are new... and your channel is growing all the time. As for those who've been with you for a while, your new perspective makes everything fresh, because you're coming from a different angle, and we have only retained a little of what we have heard... so hearing it again is good. Also, we have all changed and grown in the meantime, too, so we are hearing it differently! Yes, life is short, and and it's good to be prapared in advance, for any eventuallity, whether it's building our pantry faithfully, or building our faith-filled pantry. Our Father likes to see us doing the best we can, with what He has given us. Much love, hugs, and prayers for you and yours... Keep Going. ❤ 🫂 🙏 ✝️ 🦋

I'm sure you're glad that you read the book and started your pantry. I've been slowly building up my supplies. Hubby and I have to finish hooking up the freeze dryer this weekend. It was an investment that I felt was necessary. Thankfully my dad's estate was finally settled and I had enough money to buy our freeze dryer and a new to me car when my 2002 Subaru Legacy bit the dust. Thanks for all of your hard work making these videos, we all appreciate it.

Thank you so much for this video, Heather! God Bless you. 🙏❤

Great information Heather! Pantries have tremendous purpose. They are a great lesson from generations before us. But we have to do it right. 😊

💜💜💜

Joy, Love, all for God’s glory!💜 Great video! Thanks!💞 💜💜💜

Oh Heather! What a powerful testimony! Praise Yah for answering prayers. Praise His Holy Name!!! YHWH! I would love to study with you anytime. I tell everyone, If you Love Him, keep His commandments. Your eyes have been opened and yes, He used this tragedy to save you❤❤❤❤

Our experience has shown us that water is not to be forgotten. Twice in the last two years, due to cold temps/snow, we have been without water for 3-5 days. Not only do you need to have drinking water, but you also need water to wash your hands and flush toilets. We are now prepared for this. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know it was a hard and trying time. But you learned first hand what it’s like to walk through the furnace with Jesus by your side. And nothing can shake your faith when you’ve walked that path. Praises for your health.

Heather it's most likely me who needed this pantry help. After a long 2 years of me in and out of the hospital and rehabs, my pantry is totally stressing me out. Once I'm stronger and can stand independently, I know I'm going to redo everything in there. For right now, I'm just trying to reorganize what is in there. It's almost ok but giving me serious stress and anxiety. I know I'm sounding crazy, but you'd agree if you saw the sad state things are now in. Thank you Heather, you know I found you with the video your son put together. I've been following your journey since then. God blessed us all keeping you here with us 🙏 ❤️

❤️❤️❤️

My pantry is in an unfinished part of our basement, not fancy, nothing pretty but I love it! It brings me so much joy and pride but most of all it’s a comforting feeling of security 😊

Amen to this! I have been building a pantry for years and I’ll never go back! Thank you for this message! A reminder that life is short ❤

This is such an encouraging video. You look amazing. Thanks for sharing.

You're new to me and I absolutely LOVE your sweet spirit!!! <3 You are so beautiful!!!

I love your encouraging videos. I loved the last one you did about the controversy of the opening ceremony. And I really loved this video. I have always had a pantry. But my family has expanded and I have been trying to include enough for them as I prepare things. But I just never feel like I have enough. But when you were speaking in this video and you were talking about how the Lord was preparing you when you didn't know, I was reminded of the loaves of bread and the fish and how the disciples doubted. I build my pantry out of love for my family. I know the Lord will undertake if the need arises. There were many times in my childhood I remember my parents being worried because they didn't have enough money to make it through the week. But somehow the weekend always came and we always had plenty. I gave my parents a 50th anniversary party. We had over 100 people and I had only bought 20 pounds of potatoes. 20 pounds of potatoes does not even last through our family reunion line! There is no way 20 pounds of potatoes should have fed that many people. And I didn't even realize what I had done until it was over. But we had potatoes left over. I know that sounds minor, but it's just proof that the Lord will always provide. So thank you for the reminder!! Lord bless and keep you and your family.

I live in San Antonio TX and IT IS HOT! I’ve been contemplating canning but I don’t know how long the canned food would last. Can anyone answer this for me? Is it worth it if you can’t store it more than a year?

I had started expanding our food pantry a bit with home canned goods but in 2020 I heeded the call and accepted the challenge to create a “mini mart” where we could shop and start preparing for rising prices. My husband and oldest son are here on the farm and they supported my efforts and encouraged me. Food, house goods, OTC meds, personal items, toiletries, etc. Gardens, canning, freeze drying, healthy foods. You have taught me so much about canning and bread making, though I still struggle with the latter. You are a blessing to so many, Heather. 🩷🩷🩷🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️✝️

Heather you are an inspiration to me..and lately one of the few youtubers I watch now..I cannot imagine the things you went thru but I guess your spirit helps mine if that makes sense I did not go thru that kind of situation like you and the kidsbut I did lose my soulmate 8 years ago so unexpectedly like in a day and we were both at home..Like you were are Christians but am so much older..will be 64 this month..my hunny was 63 when he passed..we were married 37 years and I had to do cpr on him..For yaers I felt like I was in a nightmare and would wake up and as I am writing this to you..the tears fall..Besides the Lord he was my backbone..Our kids were grown with only one living at home at the time..I am so Glad you found Love again ..for me..do not think in the cards..I cannot even imagine anyone ..nor do I want to..I know it is the Lord's leading..Amd I struggle daily sometimes..I just miss him..paying bills..guidemce and so I am Blessed the Lord is helping me and decesions I used to jump on..I know step back more and just wait..I do not did not intend to tell you my life story.. I am guess I am at another stop sign because of an injury at work many years ago and physical issues am thinking of retiring from a retail job I have had for 19 years..to let go of the fear or the devil trying to put the fear on me because of the unknown..I know I am rambling so I apologize to put this all out her on your channel...Patricia..Thank you for being honest and real..

I added that book to cart. Been focusing on the joyful pantry since your other video on it. Love you videos and still keeping you all in my prayers.

An item I rarely see on pantry/prep lists is Sharpies. So necessary for labeling canning and buckets and 100 other uses.

You felt the call to prepare ❤ sometimes we don't understand how we are asked to do certain things, I decided to trust those feelings, I feel that is the real connection with God and he shows us the path ❤

Hi Heather, thank you for feeding my soul. It’s taken me 4 years to have a wonderful food storage room. It’ll always be a work in progress, yet it’s robust and I’m grateful for every item in there. It’s fed and kept us in supplies during the recovery from a broken shoulder, then a broken wrist and now from a full hip replacement surgery. We eat well. I have so much replenishing ahead of me, yet I don’t get fearful or anxious. God always sees to our needs. Btw, I’m so happy for you and your family on the joining of you and your longtime friend, in marriage. Blessings to y’all! I love you, your precious spirit. XO

Thank you

Thanks for this video. It’s nice to know someone actually used this book and it helped. I hate wasting my money. I will be getting this book. Thanks again and I’m glad you’re back

Very encouraging video! God is good!

The love that you RADIATE is most definitely a blessing and NOT boring! So much wisdom in your perspective. Thank you!

Oh Heather, you hit a a spot for me when you shared example of money from mom. My mom died last year, at 97, and we received a large inheritance. Perfect example of ehat mom would have for us , brother and i your spiritual insight, sorry im trying to type while crying.

Heather. I just am so emotional listening to you talk about how God was preparing you and had you stock that pantry for what you were about to walk thru. And how all the little details that mean so much are so evident now when you look back. Something thats really been on my heart in the last few weeks is just how much the Lord is working in our lives. He is always working to bring things together for our good. I've never really sat with that precious truth until just recently and your story just confirms and encourages me.

I started keep a smallish pantry after hurricane rita when we found ourselves with almost nothing and no way to get anything. That pantry kept us going through Early COVID lockdowns, Getting COVID twice (teacher household we got it in the first wave), and getting hit by 2 hurricanes that year. You don't have to go huge. Go big enough to last say a month and it will see you through most of lifes smaller ups and downs. Recently I wrecked my back. Having a stockpile of stuff I can just heat in the microwave has been a God's send. I really can't be moving so much to really cook atm. Edit: May I also add something that might be unpopular. Get a small sewing kit and learn to mend things. People don't need a new shirt if a button comes off or a new pair of pants because the hem tore. Learning to mend is better for the world and our wallets.

Heather, you inspire us all again! You are quite a lady and child of God. Thank you for encouraging us all. I'm so glad you are doing so well in every way. Bless your heart.

Struggling with fear & worry. Unrelated to pantry, but can you do a video on it?

What a blessing that Pantry was to you and your family, Thank You Jesus, I know that took a lot of worry and stress off of you ❤️💕🙏🏼 Because of you, literally, directly because of you and your channel, my pantry is fully stocked too…. You taught me everything about canning and safely storing food! ❤️💕🙏🏼 And 2 1/2 years ago, in the winter of 2022 my husband fell on the ice at work, and did terrible damage to his left shoulder… they called an ambulance and Holy cow…. What they told us at the hospital shocked me… not only was he going to need a total shoulder replacement… but his neck needed surgery too… The Dr told us, this is about the worst injury that you can have to the shoulder/neck… made worse that my husband was 62 at the time, now he’s 64 and I’m 10 years younger at 54…. We were told that he’d be off of work for one year at 60% pay…. My heart sunk… I said “Lord Jesus, please help us”… I was so afraid! But I gave it all to The Lord! We only had $ 5,000 in the safe, and that was it… But guess what… we wanted for nothing. For one entire year, my pantry saw us through!! I cooked like absolute normal, my husband ate healthy so he could heal and he ate well!! No lie, without your channel, we would of lost it all! At 60% pay we were able to make bills, we had our own eggs from the chickens…. We had to butcher 7 during that time, and Lord knows I cried like a baby… I was heart broken… but that stocked our freezer for the winter!! While making that chicken soup the first time, I couldn’t eat it, I was so sad about my chickens 💔💔 but the Lord provided us with food and I was thankful… even if it hurt my heart (I love my chickens so much, normally we don’t butcher them)… Anyways. Beautiful Pantry Heather! Thank you for beings such a lovely friend to us all. You are a true blessing ❤️💕🙏🏼

Good topic, im single and don't have a clue of rebuilding one

Absolutely! So glad your pantry was such a blessing to you guys! Everyone should try to have extra food on hand.

My entire basement is my working pantry. I call it my grocery store.

I’m very new at pressure canning. I’ve done lots of water bath canning. My presto has a gauge. Do I use that on the test run?

Is that a good resource if you have teeny tiny kitchen etc in a studio? I’m thinking of trying to get canned foods that I could eat cold if so didn’t have access to a cooking stove etc in the event of an emergency

I believe they were absolutely mocking Christianity. They were just prepared to give phony answers to misdirect us. Like a magician who uses slight of hand. The Dionysus excuse (not the Last Supper) and ALL the other excuses, were just "plausible deniability" To make us doubt. But, remember that Satan uses truths mixed in with lies to lead us astray!
