Moving always stinks. No matter how long you have or how hard you try, there will always be a number of ‘mixed’ boxes that go onto the truck. This time has been no exception, with a few extra hiccups.
Sadly, our biggest hiccups have not been our fault at all. We did all the things, paid for an inspection, and still have run into many unexpected problems. The inspector phoned it in and left us holding the bill on thousands in unexpected repairs.
Our perfect plan A was thrown out the window the day after signing. Shortly after, B went down the proverbial toilet, follow by C and many others. Don’t even ask me what letter we are on now.
Despite all the unexpected trials, we know deep down our life is going in the right direction. Heavenly Father has been with us every step of the way.
No matter what you do, with preparedness being no exception, you need to make multiple plans. Just like a fire escape plan shows you how to leave the building from any room in multiple ways, your plans need backups.
It’s a given that life will have its hiccups. The power will go out from time to time. Water lines freeze (yep, had that happen already too…). Something will break.
Sometimes plan B is having a duplicate. Other times it’s a solar generator on the shelf.
Even if your plan C is just a rough idea, it will be far better than nothing. The overall point is don’t expect life to follow your exact path. Instead, preparedness relies on backups.
Have you made your backup plans? If not, consider today your invitation to plan ahead.
