3 And thus the Lord caused stones to shine in darkness, to give light unto men, women, and children, that they might not cross the great waters in darkness.

4 And it came to pass that when they had prepared all manner of food, that thereby they might subsist upon the water, and also food for their flocks and herds, and whatsoever beast or animal or fowl that they should carry with them—and it came to pass that when they had done all these things they got aboard of their vessels or barges, and set forth into the sea, CommendingThemselvesUntoTheLordTheirGod.

In a large degree, MyWonderfulLisaLove and I have made a lot of preparations in getting out of debt, establishing our healthshare situation, and gathering a nest-egg.

I have been chasing money for about a decade, with some knowledge that this was my pursuing the wrong master in some ways. I have put myself in employment, giving myself to an employer-master, but I am coming out of this servitude to submit myself to the master I desire more, which is Christ.
24 ¶ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

I always observed that I thought we had less in the bank account than seems right which was the opposite from then we were relatively poor and it often seemed as if someone was dropping a thousand dollars in the account as situations popped up. A very strange phenomenon that I attribute to the Lord. He blessed me in my supposed poverty and when I attracted well-healed masters, I was no longer blessed in the way (financially).
