It's been several weeks since we've had a garden devotional. Today, I'm being very transparent about walking through trials and making the choice to command our soul to bless the Lord.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Psalm 103:1-4

Thank you so much for believing in us!
I lost my Son in 2014. We had always wanted to move south, from central Illinois. But we were unable to because I needed help from my family to help care for Jason. He died unexpectedly and I was crushed. I went through a period where I thought Jesus had left me. I need to hear that other people to express their love for God to help remind me that he does Love and carry me! My Son was such a gift from him and I got to hold him close to me for the 29 years I had him. Jason was disabled and lived with us for all his life. I had come to the decision to turn him over to the only one who could love him more than even I could! When I did that I was able to pick up the pieces of me and move on with my life. So here we are, just my Husband and I in East Tennessee! We are a little older but are trying to get setup to start growing some of our own food! God Bless you!
♡♡♡♡♡
God love you both. My children are healthy but don't love Jesus or God. It rips my heart and I have had to turn them over to my Lord who loves them more than I do and wants them saved also. I would like to grow some food to show them and my grand kids, and myself, God's rhythm in life and His feasts. May God's blessings bloom and rush into your days in this new phase in your lives.
So sorry for your loss! I wish you the best of luck in creating your garden.
💕
Even if you never said a word about Jesus, your love for Him is obvious and says everything. A Christian who is a true apprentice to Jesus is always a testimony.
I'm one of your non religious followers. Your passion and kindness is part of why I follow you. I love your devotional videos. They are positive and inspiring. I don't understand how anyone can turn that into something that "shouldn't" be on your channel when that's who you are. I'm glad you choose to stay true 💕
Perfectly said. Hear here ❤❤❤
It’s ok to ask God why? My sister was murdered in a grocery store, leaving behind 2 small daughters, and I had to ask why . That was over 20 years ago . If I could tell you how wonderful her two daughters turned out because of love and faithfulness to God you would be amazed. God didn’t kill my sister, he was there to receive her. I know I will see her again, and that I’m thankful for . ❤️✝️
Wow so true. He didn't kill her but received her. Amen!
I am so sorry Dianne
Watch Jessica’s devotional called I’m so mad!
I know this is an old comment but it’s a really good devotional and kind of talks about how people start to put God’s character on trial when bad things happen etc. and how the enemy comes to kill steal and destroy.
As a thoroughly non-religious person, let me say, you should never stop doing your devotionals! Your faith is clearly dear to you, and you should never try to hide away the things that you love and bring you life 💜
❤️
💖
Amen
I agree this is your life and your choice and as another non religious person you must keep your devotionals in your videos 💕
Jess your gardening is good but your walk with God is better. I need to dry my keyboard off.
❤️❤️❤️
I so want to live the passion that you exhibit in this video. Our Almighty Father has surely blessed you and your family abundantly. I bless you, little one === Your are God's beloved.
AMEN!
I am not a believer, but these devotional videos are some of my favorites from your channel. You have inspired me to think beyond the physical world and seek meaning in my life. Keep up the good work! You are touching more lives than you may realize
You are not a believer, yet. I remember when I was exposed to the gospel for the first time. I had no idea what they were talking about. So one night as I sat alone in my car, I asked the question out loud, "Are You real?" And immediately my heart was filled and leaping with JOY. I was overwhelmed and crying! He heard me! And left no doubt about His existence in this world, and that His Son Jesus hung on the cross for my sins, He died in my place, He was buried and He rose again on the third day, just as He said! The Holy Spirit lives in me and He teaches, guides and comforts me until I am called home to Heaven. You can put your trust in Him. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have ever lasting life. It's true, God loves you.

To listen to this now, five years later...how far you have come.....listening to Him. ❤
Jess, continue to use your platform. Jesus is a gentleman, He does not force anyone by a gun or sword to believe in Him. When you are saved you cannot separate your life from Jesus. You are crucified with Christ and it is He who lives in you. (Paraphrased) Gal 2:20. Maybe those who do not believe, yet continue watching your channel, will one day see God's love through you and your family.
I’m probably not a full minute into this video yet, but I had to pause it and say, don’t ever be intimidated to talk about Jesus on your vlog. He isn’t separate from your farm, business, or anything else in your life. Without Him you might not have any of that. So I encourage you to continue to share your devotionals on this vlog. No need to do it on a separate vlog. God bless!
Homestead Nutrition amen
I am never closer to God than when I am in my garden. Knowing His hands created each of the billions of microbes in each handful of soil fills me with awe and wonder and boundless joy.
Amen JESS and Amen 🙏 Numbers 6:24-26 MAY The Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace. 🙏 💕
God does not make bad things happen, Satan does
We cannot separate out our faith.
Jesus is my friend and I walk with Him daily. Be true to yourself.
Let that light shine, Jess. You are a blessing to so many of us. ❤
My Dad died at 34 I was 10. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. They are in a better place. They knew, know the Lord. We who are here still walk out our mission. Shine on you are doing great!
I'm so glad you've decided to share EVERYTHING in your life. Farm, animals, gardening, family and your beliefs. Thank you for being real.
So very powerful
I'm back over two years later to watch your devotionals again, Jess, because I'm struggling with my relationship with God and The Church. Your leadership is a tremendous help and blessing. Thank you. Love you.
I am a person of faith too, just a different faith. Mine teaches me to respect your right to believe as you do. In fact, the only religions I do not respect are those that promote hate and intolerance. I believe we are here to love and support each other. Not to judge each other. Blessed be and keep sharing sister.
There is nothing more beautiful to me than someone who praises God in the midst of their pain.
Last night, about 24 hours before watching this video, I picked up my guitar for the first time in about 2 years and played the song called "10,000 Reasons". I've been confused about what it means to bless the Lord. This was the only song I played. Please never stop speaking on the goodness of God and never stop these devotionals! God bless you!!!!
Wow 😭😭😭 thank you for sharing this!
@@RootsandRefugeFarm God is amazing!!!! :)
God doesn't let these things happen he gives us a cjoice and we choose to let it happen i appreciated this devotion
I subscribed to your channel a few days ago because I saw Jesus in you. I don't have words to express how much I appreciate this devotional. He is everything to me, too.
Me too!❤I was lead by the spirit!
People can say that God and gardening have nothing to do with each other. But that is totally wrong. God has everything to do with gardening, and with all creation. If God were to really leave gardening or anything else things would stop to exist. We can’t grow food without God. We can’t really live life without God. I really love your devotionals. Praise God for so many things for everything. And I praise God for connecting me to your channel. Thank you for making your videos. I thank and praise you God for connecting me to this channel. God bless you and your family. Duane.
My faith was long lost. You warmed my heart and bought tears to my eyes. I watch your devotion many time this day. I shall listen to your devotion each day. Not to praise you but to help me find my heart.
Thank You
Standup Standup for Jesus because He is standing for you!
Thank you! I'm in hospital at a crossroad in my life. I nearly gave up on myself and the power of God until I listened to your words. You've helped me get back on the right path. Blessings to you! xxx
We are each worthy of allowing blessing speak through us if we choose so. I am not a woman of the lord, but I have a heart, soul, and spirit. My grandmothers were deeply faithful and taught me the power of gratitude and blessings, especially when an ambulance goes by. Today I bless emergency vehicles, as well as flying ones, in the name of all my grandmothers' prayers.
I'm sorry you get those comments. I'm as agnostic as it comes and love your channel, knowing that you are religious and that your love for God inspires you daily. It's not my thing, but I'm glad you find love and support there.
God bless you.🙌🙌🙌😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🎺
I understand exactly. Never doubt his power for 1 minute. I know the same way as you. I love when you share your faith. Keep going. Don't stop. John. Hemet, CA.
Couldn’t agree more. Also agnostic.
"Let me be singing when the evening comes."
I have a slightly different faith, but I like your devotionals. I agree that when faith is such a big part of your life you can’t keep it separate! I realized this in college. I’m an art student and many art students tend to be agnostic or atheist (I think mainly because that’s what the cool people are, but whatever). I sat next to an atheist girl in a graphic design class and she told me once that I talk a lot about my religion. I told her that it was because it is a huge part of who I am, and I couldn’t not talk about it. Don’t hide who you are ❤️
Interesting! My sis-in-law in Poland says the same thing. She finds ways to witness through her art.
Testimonials are the best medicine to the soul. It reminds us that we live in a fallen world. Always remember at what Job in the Bible went through. Most importantly what Jesus did for us. Stay strong everyone. God bless.
Why can't other people simply learn to be tolerant of your values? I'm not a church goer, but I think you guys are amazing.
Jess, I'm an atheist. But I listen to your garden devotionals on repeat. Because they always bring me calm. Thank you and keep them up.
Thanks Alex ❤️
Anyone that watches your channel and don’t see your faith shining thru really isn’t paying attention
I'm an atheist but still love listening and watching all your vlogs, devotionals and all
I am so thankful for your garden devotionals. I started sharing them with my 81 year old grandmother who is learning to use a smart phone since my grandfather passed away a year and a half ago. I did this to introduce her to UA-cam. After we watch them we have a conversation about them. We live hundreds of miles away from each other. I am so thankful for anything that creates a deep conversation over that distance. She has started following you and has taught herself how to watch the videos I don't send. I started watching you for your amazing garden. The devotionals are a fabulous cherry on to. Thank you.
That really blesses me Angel!! Thank you and her for supporting us!
I wish there was a heart button because I would use it for this. I love this.
Amen amen amen amen amen!!!! Hallelujah!!! ❤️
"Though the fig tree shall not blossom...yet I will rejoice in the LORD..." Habakkuk 3:17. You are wise beyond your years, and ministered to this 57 year old sister! Bless you, too!
Bless the Lord oh my soul! Thank you for bringing Jess to share You and how to live with You! Thank you!
God bless and keep you and may hold you in the palm of his hand...
...I don't know how to say thank you for this, except to love like Jesus loves, and begin to realize authority I've been Blessed with thru His blood.
Thankyou for being brave enough to share your heart because today most people guard it and that makes us forget how tender and fragile hearts can be Your strong girl and brave With a great heart. Threw the grace of god. I am sure you have helped many with your openness
I enjoyed walking with you threw your heart
Jess you are so precious and Jesus in you shines so brightly😇🥰 Thank you for this amazing devotional. I pray for your family and I thank you for sharing your lives with us!!!!!!!You are so dearly loved❤
You are so wise and thoughtful. Your words are precious and are food for my soul. I appreciate your devotionals more than you'll ever know. Thank you - you are precious to me
Whoever doesn't want to listen just let them go elsewhere. I love everything you talk about, we all have so much to be thankful for so why not give thanks to Him that deserves our gratitude.
Jess I applaud your transparency. Jesus is everything to me.
All of your pieces have value. He put each piece of you together. No piece of yourself is wasted if you're mindful about cultivating it.
Your devotionals always touch my heart. Don't ever stop doing them! Thank you❤️
I'm not a christian, but I love your channel, and your spirit. I encourage you to be your truest self, and do not concern yourself with nay sayers. The loving viewers are the one's you want anyway.
I am not a follower, not religious,, but,.. I am spiritual, I am a believer in a higher power. I follow you because of your homestead, your passion for your garden and your animals....AND... I so do love listening to your devotions....you have such a gift.....you are passionate about your calling and the word flows from your heart to word of mouth so naturally,so effortlessly .....beautifully.. with great positiveness.....its your true calling to pass the message to others through your love of gardening and any other format you so choose...its is your calling....
The Fight of Two Wolves Within You
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:
“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
”It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil-he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you-and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
Jess you have spoken to my spirit tonight. I have watched your other videos of devotion and God has truly spoken to me through you. I must learn to talk with God and express my ffears to him knowing he is almighty. I am 60 y/o and my dream is to have a small farm with a big garden I fear I will never realize my dream for no known reason I have learned from you to express my fears to him knowing he is good and all powerful. Thank you so much for your faithfulness in sharing his love. God bless you and your beautiful family. I will feed my spirit and not my flesh!
I am so thankful for your devotionals. Thank you. Can't get enough of them. These are just as important to me as your gardening videos. God has truly blessed you.
Your devotional videos mean a lot to me and lift my spirit tremendously. I do not always feel worthy of his love but your videos remind me that he is good and loving always. God bless you and your family jess and thank you for lifting my spirit!
"Choose people for all that they are" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing. I bless you!
These devotionals mean so much to me. Thank you for showing your love for Jesus this way. ♥️
Your timing could not have been better. Thank you for this.
I love coming back to these amazing heart and soul felt devotionals. Thank you for being so open and so raw. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Jess,
I am normally a very private person but your loss recently and this revelation made me want to reach out to you publically. I had no idea about the family and the kids, that broke my heart. If you remember I had suffered so much loss in my life and it tore my relationship with god that took decades to fix. I'm fighting PTSD right now and am having a horrible weekend. About 2 hours ago I had a conversation with my wife explaining how I Was feeling and then your video appeared on our list. We watched it while eating dinner, both Susan and I love your videos and journey, you guys rock. I have to admit I am finally finally feeling a little better about life, just from listening to you. It honestly helped me as did your other video if you recal my letter. This weekend I was at a point where I dont see a future with PTSD, its never going to end sort of thing. I guess I'm telling this to you in public, because I am one person who you inspired from your words, there must be many more. God is part of you and you shouldnt have to hide that. If people don't like that aspect they have the free will to not watch the video, god did give us free will afterall. How many others feel as inspired and how many people would lose out if you bowed to the few who don't like what you say. I think thats a big problem in America right now, people afraid to say what they actually feel. Please please keep doing these. I don't think I found your video right when I needed it out of coincidence. I'm having a hard time putting sentences together right now so will just stop. But I want to end by saying thank you for you and your family and may god bless you guys and remain strong in your faith and be given the strength to go through all the trials of life. I wonder if its not how we handle the pain of life that is the meaning of life for us on our journey.
Brian
Prayers!
I just watched a new video on PTSD by Elisabeth on Tiny House Prepper about an hour ago. You should check it out. I'm praying for you Brian.
Thanks Marie and Donna you guys are awesome. I really mean it, its the small things in life that IMO matters and sometimes is more important than the bigger things. This is a great channel with awesome people in it. I'll check that video out tonight, every little bit helps. I still don't understand this PTSD but am just trying to keep going and hoping each day will get brighter. Thanks again : )
@@donnagarms283
Your beautiful response brought me to tears. Our Creator God made us all to need each other. I pray you continue to find peace and refuge through videos like Jess's and can ask God for His help along the way. PTSD is not an easy road - my two daughters battle it daily - but God's grace gets them through and they are becoming stronger each day. Never give up Brian, God has a beautiful tapestry He is weaving with your life. We only see it's beauty after it's completed. God bless you and your family. I'm praying for you.
There is NO SUCH THING AS COINCIDENCE. I am struggling with PTSD as well...
Amen ❤God is good ALL the time
''devotional'' in the title. Seriously. There is no need for another channel- people need to just pay attention before they click! I am pagan, and I totally still appreciate your channel- SO MUCH! Your video- I believe it was ''waiting for the fulfillment of your farm''' where you talked about sitting in the bookstore with a pig book in your lap and crying because you thought it would never happen. It honestly resonated with me so deeply. I straight up started bawling because that is where I am at right now. Your video brought me so much comfort.
You keep doing you. God is part of your life- other than your devotionals I do not feel like you preach at ALL. And most of the devotionals I still don't feel like you do. It's honestly silly for someone to get so bent out of shape when it's in the freaking title.
Love this devotional. Keep keeping Christ in all you do and you will be blessed. Love a sister in Christ.
I love your passion for the lord God bless you
JESUS AND GARDENING WHATS NOT TO LOVE 💕
Jess, I must tell you that this is the most beautiful explanation of the entire process of how we, as believers, walk out this life we're given and learn how to become disciples of Jesus, step-by-step learning to become more like Jesus even though we can't fully be like Him. You have put the entire Christian life in a few minutes. There's more meat here in one place than I have seen in our churches in my 59 years on this Earth. My only wish is that somehow you could put this on a CD so we could give these out to everyone we love. Until then, I am sending this to every friend and family member I have. One thing that I have done since my kids were small is to pray God send His angels to go with them (and all family), protect and guide them, whenever they leave the house. When we leave to go on trips, or even into town, we pray before leaving the driveway for angelic protection for the trip, the car, the house and property and people we're going to and left behind. My youngest is high functioning autistic and praying for her before school always helped her. Just thought I'd share. Maybe it will help. We pray when storms come our direction and have literally seen miracles. I love you girl! Thank you and I bless you and every one in your family and circle of friends.
Thank you. I have been in that place and now am disabled and you comforted me more than any pastor I have had. God sends us angels when we least expect it. Don’t be ashamed and walk boldly.
While I do not believe in church or organized religion, I do believe in God - a higher power who is good and righteous. It makes my heart happy that you find joy and peace in your beliefs. I wish you joy and happiness ❤️
I have no idea why but this message touched my heart today - thank you for this
@@serenityhillsfarm1798 Because God us reaching out to you, because He loves you, even though you don't believe in Him, He believes in you.
That sounds a bit "cutesey", but it is a very simple way of saying what the Bible tells us about the Faithfulness of God.
Please be open to His Call.
🕊
Bragg family,
I was the same way. I saw how corrupted organized religions had become, and I wanted no part of it. Until my then 2 year old daughter started talking about God and leading us in prayer! No one taught her to do that. And I realized that I had strayed away from my own faith. I still believed, but I wasn't living it. And I realized that I had neglected to teach my children about God. I needed to be around like-minded individuals to give myself accountability. So I started to go to church again. I tried MANY different ones until I found one that I could actually feel God's presence in. I don't agree with every detail they preach, but that's ok for me, because I found peace there.
I love how your rooster is praising the Lord and amening as you preach! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord 🙌
Oh Jess.... this is such a blessing! Keep letting that light shine BRIGHT! Melts my heart seeing a woman of a like minded heart for Christ! I’ve been so so broken at times in my life and HE has restored and mended every single wound. I loved this videos so much. You are a gem! You glorified HIM well with this and in turn blessed many of us!
This is the most powerful, soul-led testimony I have ever heard. Thank you for "laying yourself bare" to the world and declaring the goodness of God Almighty in this god barren world...WE know that God is still working...For he is "unwilling that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.." Bless his HOLY name....
PLEASE do more of these videos. I NEED this. He spoke to me through you. Your words moved me to tears. I’ve struggled for so long with my faith and am TRYING so hard to get right.
Thank you. I bless you. 🙌❤️
When you let the spirit speak through you it is the spirit talking not you!☺
I have listened to this 4 days in a row. After the sudden loss of my mom, you are speaking the words of my soul. Thank you for your beautiful words. Thank you for sharing your tragedies to help other make sense of theirs. You bless us at the end of every video, but I hope you know, you are the blessing.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm absolutely certain that you are making God smile and be so proud to see you standing up for God and your faith regardless of who may not agree. It's funny, as I was asking God for the right words of encouragement for you, my phone suddenly cut completely off. I doubt it was just a coincidence, the enemy never wants us to encourage each other. Your faith and garden are both so beautiful and inspiring. Always stand strong!
I Love to see you growing in Jesus!! Yes God is very much my daily walk in life! and I so Love the raw! My Son got ran over in front of my face and he died the next day! ! Yes how could God let this happen to his children that he says that he Loves!!
Listen girl you better sit down cause i dont beat around the bush. This is your channel you put what ever you want on there you want. Your sweet, your true to your roots dont stray away from that. If you let other people control you, you will loose yourself. As far as Religion im not highly religious but im not going to knock you for your belief, you go girl. Im more of the smart a## funny guy thats always in the crowd. Don’t worry what people say stay strong keep rooted. Heck if it was me i would of hit the delete or block button by now. But its your channel you do as you wish. Wish you the best
Yes, I have gone to David’s heart through his words many times over the years. I’m so thankful that God gave us his Psalms to help us call forth the depths of our souls and cry out to Him in our despair, our weakness, our worship. Deep calls unto deep. I always find something I can relate to. Thank you for lifting Jesus higher. Yes, I’m telling my soul to bless the Lord! He is good and He is worthy! Someday every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. And the devil will be right there on his face before the King of Kings.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard, please never stop
I wasn't raised Christian, but I enjoy these devotional videos.
Okay, so I am someone who really thinks things through. This is only the second video I have listened to but, I believe the Lord has led me to your channel.
I’m really glad you’re here ❤️
It was the same for me.
I'm one of those non-believers who watches and stays. I value you as a whole and I LOVE your sincerity, honesty, and openness. I value that you share your faith with love and rawness. You're a beautiful soul and our common ground is far more vast than our differences.
My dad (a minister of 35 years who went on to be with the lord at age 61) said there were mysteries we wouldn't understand until we get to heaven but on the question of why really bad things happen, the fact is that there is evil in the world and that doesn't one iota take away the fact that God is great. We were put here with free will to love and accept God. If he prevented all bad things from happening, what would be the purpose of free will? What would be the point? We choose good over evil, we accept Christ even in the depths of sorrow. Especially in the depths of hard times.
Amen
“Borrow the language of someone who did it well”...oh how that touched my heart ❤️ I believe this was most definitely a God moment. I bless you! Thank
You Lord for this moment spent in Your Presense...In Jesus Name ... Amen!!
A sacrifice of praise and worship, when we are going through heart wrenching times, is a key that opens the door to the depths of our soul allowing the Lord to pour forth His blessings into our soul! Some of those blessings need to incubate and stretch us before we see the fullness.
About 12 years ago after acquiring Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from domestic violence, my pastor said something, after observing my challenges, I will never forget, his name is Wayne Taylor; "There is no greater witness than a Christian who suffers with grace." That challenged me for years as it tumbled through my thoughts, then I saw something else! In these painful times we create the reputation of Christ, and it is by this reputation people choose to accept or reject Him! When we express love and grace in the midst of our pain others see that love and grace as God's. If we are angry, bitter, and judgmental, others see Christ as an angry judge out to get them. Thank you Jess and Miah for suffering with grace and love!
Amen we stand because Our God is a Good God!
Amen and Blessing to you Jess. Thank you for sharing and praising. This and gratitude for the smallest of things can help in dark moments.
I was in a Black Hole and your obedience to Christ really brought out the light for me today and I know for days to come✝⭐️Thank you for your fellowship in Christ Amen! Blessings to you and yours in Jesus name amen 🙏🏻🍅
Young lady I am so proud of you... I wish my grandkids thay are about your age would Lift Jesus up the way you do. But I cannot control their lives I just turn them over to God. We pray every night that God will send the right people to speak into their lives that it's not just Grandpa Telling them that they need Jesus but they themselves decide they need Jesus...
You sure did lift Spirit of this physically broken down biker. I lay here and wonder why I was in the motorcycle wreck that physically put me down for the past 6 years but I know God works all things out for our good to those I love HIM to those that are willing to put HIM first in all things.
I've laid here and learned so much and when my spirit gets a low and God send someone like you to pick my spirits back up thank you for what you said..
I know that in God's perfect time that HE'S going to totally heal me and I hope God will allow me to go back out on the highways again carrying the message of recovery to those who's lives are stuck in addictions. Like I was doing before the wreck...
I used to battle the whys and the what ifs but I don't care anymore about them...
God gave me a timeout to build my spirit and that's what you did tonight God use you to speak to me...
I love you kiddo thank you and keep putting Jesus first in everything... BBE 👍 👍🤗 🤗
What better place to have a devotional than in the garden... a place where life begins. A place where life can also begin ‘again’.
God is faithful... and I so needed to hear this. Thank you for your obedience and vulnerability. Praying for healthy mourning during your family's loss and for God's abundant blessings to shower you. Bless you sister.
I needed this right now! Thank you Lord for your servant Jessica Sowards 🙏❤
🙌
I have to replay this again, a few times over!!! It has now become my absolute favorite favorite video of all the ones I've seen on your Channel!! Hey
Very good word. One that I needed. And one I knew I needed to share.
I've had times in my life where I was laid bare. A loss of a marriage. A loss of a grandchild. The list of my mom. The loss of health. I am also learning to bless the Lord O my soul in any circumstance or situation. There are times when I do well. And then, there are times when I fall flat on my face. There is one thing that I always remember and know. HIS love.
God bless you and your family.
Let me just say I love your channel, I love your garden,I learned so much fromyou and not just your garden skills.some times you make me laugh and some time I tear up. I don't comment a lot because I don't know how to write down what I'm trying to say.I want to say thank you,as long as you put out the videos, I will be watching. Your friend Nickie from Colorado. Thank you again.
I love this "language" of blessing the Lord at all times. I had never thought of it in quite this way before, but now I'm more conscious of it, and of choosing to bless Him.
your fath is a large part of you. Even if you say nothing at all, because it come out in your relationships, how gentle you are with animals and children. It even ozzes into your garden too. You are your fath, Blessing
Amen & Amen!
Thank you for not allowing the enemy to stifle the work of the kingdom. Jesus teaches us (b/c His word is living) in Matthew that although the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few. Why? It's not because there aren't any. They just aren't willing, bold enough, obedient and submitted to God's word to be dressed and available for the work of the harvest. I glorify The Lord that you are dressed and available and I encourage you to continue to fight this good fight. In Jesus' name.
Beautiful Beautiful words. I can clearly see your love for Jesus our Lord. Thank you for sharing about how you write the words from Psalms . I learn from your channel often . I have been praying for more clarity and understanding when I read my Bible. Thank you so very much for sharing 💜💞💜
Also, pray for me so that I can become a good gardener. It has always been a dream of mine. I come from the city, and after almost 23 years of waiting not only my husband was saved, but he also blessed me with a new home on the country side. To God be All The Glory, And Honor....... Ps. Your message is edifying........
