    This is amazing - you are all so great. This brings me joy to see how much of a family unit you all are. As someone who grew up with drug addict parents I moved out at 16. I got into college mostly as a means to have somewhere to live and eat regularly.. I graduated during covid and was blessed with a wonderful job and can now have a place to sleep every night and a fridge full of food. I found my faith during all of this, and I pray every night to find a partner focused on family and faith. I hope to be blessed like you guys some day. Thank you for being such a wonderful example and giving people hope.
    *edit* Wow - I am so thankful for all of the kind words from everyone. I want to make sure that people know my thought process in posting my comment was not to brag or seek attention, rather to thank Good Simple Living for being who they are. This channel and your family, Jeremy and Melissa, has helped me in so many ways. One major way is that it has helped me see what a loving family is. Through the years of watching this channel I have come to see what it truly means to be a family, and so God definitely used Good Simple Living to heal me in that manner! Anything good from my life came from God so He deserves the credit, thank you again GSL and community!

      Renlee, I pray and hope for your continued success. I came from a violent crazy home myself and was on the streets at 16. I too persevered and made something of myself and won't be having to worry about finding a safe place to sleep anytime soon. I destroyed a great marriage along the way, because I had no idea what a happy healthy functional relationship looked like. That was my biggest wake up call that I needed help. Getting help was the hardest thing I've ever done, but so worth it. Sounds like you are on a great path! ❤️ I pray for your continued growth and success and that you get all the wonderful things your heart desires.

Again Congrats on a major accomplishment. 🙂👍 May God bless you.

I have watched every video from the time you was packing your stuff up from your previous home in WA to today. I love your family so much, you have made me feel like a part of your family and for that I thank you so much. I’m thousands of miles from my home state of Oregon which is where the majority of my nieces and nephews live so I have no family here in Ohio. Watching your video’s gives me the feeling of being a part of a family. Love and many thanks from SE Ohio. God Bless you all and may He continue to keep you safe and watch over you.

    Girl we knew you would not sink!!!! I have been watching since gardening and tree pruning in WA and rabbit videos and one thing I knew for sure, when you guys were pondering making the move sooner, would it work...I told you to GO FOR IT. I had no doubt you guys would make it all happen. It has been a joy watching this all come together...we start our home, finally, this spring. I have learned so much from you for us to consider that we would not have even thought of. A thousand blessings over your family. We did our well drills about the same time but we could not make the move until this spring so have done a lot remotely. We have used the "waiting room" to learn about our new climate and other retire-steading skills. Not easy, but for sure can be done. The last trip home was filled we excitement, we can finally see the end of this season in our journey and cannot wait to begin the next phase. Thank you for your, well, just EVERYTHING. Much love....

Thanks for sharing that gift with us all. I just turned 52 on the 3rd, my wife 50 on the 2nd, and you inspire us. You closing statements always bring my wife to tears, as she can feel the realness of the words you say. This is a good thing, for reasons I cant explain, other than both of us being veterans, and I a former LEO who was shot on duty and she got the call... its good she feels again. I also want to thank you so very much for what you do for cancer patients. My mother and my wife's mother died of cancer, as did my grandmother and uncle, so it really hits home with us your generosity and care given. I am playing the Texas Lottery and should I win the big prize, ( WRITTEN PROOF ) your giving will meet its goals 2 fold. I think if anyone deserves it it is you all. Thank you for impacting total strangers like you have. We wish you all the best, and look forward to the next chapter of your book.

You guys moving in gave me hope for our journey as we are only halfway through building. We hope to be in by late spring, early summer.

From Last Supper pizza on the floor to self-made individual pizzas on the island, it's been a real RIDE !!! In anticipation of your video for today, I watched a 2011 movie by Thomas Kinkade, "Christmas Lodge" last night & my prayer for all of you after the fundraising for pediatric cancer is finished is for the family atmosphere from that movie to become the legacy of the Souza Mountain Lodge for decades to come. God bless & have a great Thanksgiving & I will watch you prep for Christmas.

    Wow!.. I remember y’all leaving your house, and how sad you were. I even remembered seeing your worried faces as you came to your new land. For at least two or three months y’all seemed so unsure, and then…you got into a good groove! And you finally seemed like you were starting to relax and feel at home. Y’all have all work so hard & have worked together as a family! No matter what came at you, y’all managed in two short years to do so many things on your land, plus spend family time, and build a big, beautiful home!! 🎉🙏🏼🙌🏽👏🏼🕊🎶✅🙌🏽🙏🏼🎉🎶🕊👏🏼….I’m so happy for you all! May God continue to bless you on your beautiful journey!! You guys are awesome!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    I sincerely do not have the words to describe how very proud of y'all I am. I remember how scared y'all were going into the unknown with no jobs for backup. I just knew y'all would make it all work and you did. Not only did you make it all work but, you also super exceeded my expectations. I am so proud to call you friends! ❤🤗🥰

    Just love the gratefulness you always express in your postscripts Melissa. Not only are they well written, they never miss a chance to unashamedly express your thanks to God. Choosing “faith over fear” is surpassed only by choosing the God on whom you have founded your faith. May the LORD bless and protect you, Jeremy and your 4 fantastic kids; may the LORD shine on you and be gracious to you; May the LORD show you His favor and give you His peace today in your new home and forevermore❣️

    Watching your family love on each other brings to mind just how much you can love and be vulnerable. It doesn't take practice, but when you practice love, it makes love even better and loving even more better. Congratulations to your family and the new home.

    This episode reminds me of when my parents moved us from a 1 Br/1 Ba San Francisco apartment to a 4 Br/3 Ba house in Sacramento. I remember everything was bare inside and we slowly started to fill the house and turned it into a home. Thank you for sharing your family's stories and adventures, it lets me reminisce of mine when I was younger (we were a six-unit family too). I can relate to Keymani because I'm the 2nd child also. Melissa, your epilogues are awesome and have a motherly feel to them. The only thing that's bad about it is that I know that the video will be ending soon, and I'll have to wait a week for the next one. Hopefully it will have my homie's hot tub🤣 #JacuzziForJeremyASAP

    Can’t thank you enough for sharing your life with us! You have been such a positive example of love, family, faith and values. I look forward to watching your video each week. With all the crud on the other flix channels out there, your channel gives hope, shows what hard work can accomplish and I love that your marriage is strong and that your children are filled with love. I know it’s not been easy, but Jesus got you through it and He blessed us all with your channel and gave us something to watch that is wholesome, good and positive. Thank you and congratulations on finishing your beautiful home. May the Lord keep you, sustain you and continue to bless you for being such a blessing to us all!

    I sit back and watch your videos in awe, as I remember back several years ago watching one you made, Melissa, about how to set up a solar electric fence charger and fence. Who would have ever thought about the journey with its successes that laid ahead of you guys and your family back then? But, you made it happen and it wasn't easy but, not nearly as hard as you reflect back on some of those times you almost wondered if it would be worth the effort. It was and it is and it will always be the best decision you and Jeremy ever made in your lives.
