I am not very organized. And my food storage has been something I have worked on in fits and starts but never with a very good plan or organization in place. But after October conference, I knew I needed to begin and be more organized and more diligent.
SO I created a document with everything I currently have in food storage and inventoried it all. I threw away anything old and counted how much of each item I have. Then every time I go to the store, I update the inventory. And every time I use anything from the food storage, I mark that down so I know what we're going through in a month. I recognize it's only been 3 weeks...but first, I am impressed with the fact that I got a system set up and inventoried everything I have.
And so far, I have been completely consistent. Every time I use something from food storage I mark it down. Every time I have been grocery shopping, I have bought items to add to my food storage and I've marked them on my inventory. Obviously I haven't made a huge difference in just three weeks. But I have started and I feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of gratitude that the Lord is blessing my efforts. Because I know that I'm NOT good at staying organized like this. And yet--I think because I feel a sense of urgency but also because the Lord is magnifying my efforts, I'm doing better than I thought I would and it really does feel manageable. And I know there will be blessings from being obedient.
