When the inevitable hits, no matter how prepared we may be, sometimes all we have left is Faith. It is YHWH who sustains us and what our Creator provides is always sufficient.
Homestead living inside and out, and education for young and old.
Politics from grass-roots and big-picture perspectives.
"Thus says יהוה, “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’" Jeremiah 6:16 (ESV)
With a touch of sass, Prairie Dust Trail embodies timeless wisdom and practical skills. Each publication blends inspiration and common-sense guidance, helping you learn from the past, prepare for the future, and stay rooted in the Word.
Perfect for those seeking a simpler, faith-driven life, let Prairie Dust Trail inspire and equip you to walk each season with faith and victory.
Even the “Christians” tend to overlook a lot of the Faith factor.
The struggle is as real as the thorns and storms that try us. Without keeping this in constant perspective, it's too easy to get off balance, discouraged, and overwhelmed.
