You are a blessing. Don't stop sharing. Your smile brightens my day. I'm not surprised that you had a healing miracle in your life. Gratitude radiates from you.
Praise the Lord for your strength, determination, love of the Father and the joy you share! I just found you today and after this video, this 70 year old granny wishes you lived next door or at least we attended services together... Little Miss, you are a blessing to soooo many... take all the time you need to focus, stay grounded, and walking the narrow path... what you share in knowledge and grace are so vitally needed in this dark world. May your blessings continue to be pressed down, shaken together and running over!!!!!!!!!!!! May Psalm 34:7 bring you comfort and strength!
I never understood the need for non believers to throw shade and hate. You are a positive person who radiates happiness. Religion is not my thing but gardening sure is!! That is why I am here. Your good vibes are just a bonus and if you get that from your god then sing!!!!!
Couldn’t agree more, I let those believe what they believe. I enjoy gardening, and I am getting ready to put in raised beds myself. I also want to keep bees
Beautiful ❤️. I cried a little when you said God wants to hear everybody’s song. I’ve been struggling lately with depression and I just really needed this whole video right now. Thank you 🙏
I didn’t even have to hear you say you’re a believer, it just shines in everything about you, if that makes sense. What a perfect world it would be if we had more people that thought like you do. People take so much for granted and are so ungrateful. Thank you for sharing this with us. Sugar sing, you have a beautiful voice!
You are the most inspiring woman I have ever "met." Your joy is so contagious. Your honesty, sincerity, passion and love bless and encourage me every time I watch your videos. God is using you so much more greatly than you know!
I am growing to just adore your channel. I struggle with anxiety and depression after a serious health crisis with colon cancer. I'm cancer free by the grace of God. RUclips is my escape and how i cope a lot of days. RUclips , goats, and of course God. I would have never thought you were a introvert. I have learned that Gods plans are not always our plans or our comfort zone . God bless
I have been watching your awesome family for a few months now and I am so grateful to God the opportunity. This is so much more than a gardening channel in my opinion. Thank you for sharing so much of your story with the world.
Regarding #6: Can you explain to me why Southern Christians are rarely Catholic? I don't want to get into a religious debate, I just don't understand why such godly people turn their back on the 1st Church. Fast forward to today, and you have over 20,000 different types of Protestants. And the believers today see the problems with the forefathers of Protestantism when it comes to contextual biblical history and the scriptures. "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (John 6:53-56)."
You can absolutely see the love in your eyes when you’re talking about Costella 💕 (i apologize if i spelled her name wrong!) Thank you for sharing more about you!
Ours was Ruby.. We went and visited her after she retired. I missed her so much. My family was poor. But, both parents worked. They had to let her go when the government changed the wages. It was better for her but mostly for those younger than her. It hurt her. I will never forget her. She was my second mom as a young child. We were so poor. I was born in 67. I know she was living alone by the time I was 6. When we'd go visit her...there was never any family around or mentioned. It was sad. I will never forget her.
@@theIAMofME She knows you love her-that is in her heart still even if she has passed. I have to believe that. We are blessed to have these Mothers of our hearts. Both of my grandmothers worked in other homes and mothered heart children. We missed them when they were working and as I have gotten older, I understand a little more. Blessings
@@sealfan1000 Thank you for saying that. She was a great women and mother figure. I also watched that movie The Help. I'm sure it may have been true for those with more money. But, she was part of our family. She WAS family. My mom and dad went to her funeral. Mom wouldn't let us go. I think it was because of me. Long story. Ruby was very loved.
You remind me of my best friend of 40 years, who passed away a few years ago. I miss her so much! Finding your videos has made me feel like she's with me, I'll be watching! You have a huge heart, and I'm very glad I've found your videos!
Just found your channel yesterday and was thinking you were just like all the other channels out there UNTIL I saw this video. You are a Sister in Christ and that love of Him is overflowing out of you. If you receive any negative comments on your Christianity just wear it as a badge of honor and read John 15:18-25. I play the guitar and have written some praise songs but feel the same way about singing in public...It's the introvert in me so I just don't do it anymore it's excruciatingly painful! lol But your voice sounds so sweet and pure....good for you for letting that praise of the Lord come through you. Well I obviously had to subscribe....looking forward to watching all your videos!
That’s interesting, I saw her channel and it instantly stuck out as NOT like the other channels at all, I’ve watched quite a few R and R vids, and it became the only gardening channel that didn’t have any irritating little annoyance about it at all, just a good, happy vibe, and useful information...points #5 and #6 instantly stuck out for me, too, (as well as her love for her extra family member, and the cute little family of India..that made me want to go hug all the “untouchable” people there as well, I saw the man, too with the foot problems, I’m sure he also takes the social hits... I’m 100% on board with her on all fronts), and by #5 and #6, I knew it had a lot to do with it, but I hadn’t made the assumption at all, but it’s a great story, healing can indeed happen instantly like that. Just watching trees and food grow in size and mass proves miracles and proves God, all the molecular components just lying around can’t be made into anything solid and useful in the zillions of ways in the form of plants and animals and people that we have all around us without His hand in it. No man or woman can do anything without the genetic codes and the components themselves given to them, not a thing. They could spend a billion years and never be able to turn the components of an oak tree into an oak tree without a cutting, a seed, or other form of propagation, let alone something with an exquisite color and scent like a flower has, or something with a heartbeat, or even one single simple cell which has so many intricate, interdependent, interwoven, complex systems within just the one cell alone, not even counting the even more complex plant or body systems systems that depend on the complex compilation of ever more intricate interdependent and interwoven systems, none of which could have ever formed over time, they had to be made simultaneously...the odds of which even one single cell doing so go beyond being able to be numerologically written out in longhand... They’ll never be able to turn raw components into squat without the recipes, the seeds, the ingredients given to us by Him. There’s only one Creator, so I wonder how people can just skim over that obvious fact and right on into denial. Scientists are now so backed into a corner, they’re finally pulling out the card they’ve had in their back pocket all along, the one they’ve been planting into the minds of the masses for decades, because they knew this day would come...they now admit there has to be a higher intelligence, so they’re pulling the predictively programmed alien card. Even Richard Dawkins has gone there, but some of the world saw it coming, and are not falling for it. Jesus was and is exactly who he said he was. And I agree, Jess sings just beautifully:) Very nice, indeed, Jess!
What a great surprise to see after a long day working in the garden installing cattle panel arches, an idea I got from you!. I get a lot out of your channel and you are truly blessed. Your spirituality is very inspiring too.
Thank you for sharing, you have a beautiful garden, voice, family, and soul. I feel myself constantly smiling every time I watch you and your family. I see why God healed you the way he did. You're a true vessel for his love and work.
This was so much fun to revisit. Thanks to “stay at home” I’m enjoying so many videos of the past. Jess, when was the last time you watched this vlog? It’s beautiful 🇺🇸🙋♀️🦋💜
I love your sleeve!!! Kitos to your brother!! You are an awesome mom!! Praise God!!! I believe in miracles!!! My 38 year old daughter with cancer so I pray non-stop and I BELIEVE!! I share your videos with her!!
When you started singing I started singing and smiling and tearing up. Thank you for sharing your voice and soul with us! I am honored!! I love that song, and now when I hear it, I will think of you. I am so glad that I found your channel a few months ago. You just brighten my day and lift my spirits. Thank God for you 🧡💛🧡!!
Thank you, Jessica, for letting us get to know you better personally. I just found your channel and find it refreshing and very enjoyable. You seem to be a very warm and caring person who is making the world a better place in your own way. I enjoyed your singing and guitar playing and would very much like to hear more from you. It is my pleasure to get to know you.
Dang, Girl, I feel like you’re a sister from another mother! You made me cry when you were talking about the woman who made you love cast iron. I’m a farm girl in the city, currently working on ways to maximize my growing space on a 75x100’ lot in Southern California. It is actually proving to be a fun challenge. Your vertical gardening tips are very inspiring! I’m growing grape vines on wire arches to create some shade for the hot spot in my garden, and so far am super happy with it. Thanks for all the inspiration. You are awesome! Fellow Believer and Gardener, CindyLee Fairfield
Jess, my name is Don Russell and I live in Bartlett Tn. I just wanted to let you know that I am one of your biggest fans and enjoy your videos so much. I just watched your video of 18 things about your personal life and it blessed me so much. Even before watching it my spirit bore witness with yours and had already told me that you were a Christian, but hearing your testimony certainly confirmed what I already strongly suspected. I have a very small raised bed garden that I am hesitant to show you because you have such a show place of a garden. I have four raised beds totaling 112 sq feet with 32 tomato plants and several cayenne peppers and a few herbs. I also have a few sprouts from seed that I have in pots. I know I’m way late with theses dwarfs and even if I do have tomatoes it won’t be until September but maybe they will come on as my others are dying out. So you see what I mean. You are a great communicator and I have no doubt that you will excel as you continue developing your writing skills and I want to buy your first published book. If you see this and respond please let me know exactly where in Arkansas y’all are located, who knows I may even come by sometime to meet you and Miah. God’s blessings to you and the family, I will pray for your continued success with utube and your writing exploits. Regards, Don
I really love the way your faith is so strong, but I don't feel that you are preachy. I have been made to feel uncomfortable by people in my life that feel that the faith is more correct than mine. You don't come off this way and I appreciate that. 🌻🌻🌻
Your story about Costella brought tears to my eyes. We also had a nanny who raised my father and his 4 siblings and then helped raise my brother and I. Her name was Corina and she had no family and didn't know her actual birth date. She left a huge mark in my heart that I will forever be grateful for ❤ I appreciate you sharing this story more than you know
You are such an extraordinary young woman Jess. You make my heart sing. Been watching you & your family going on 2 years now. Read every Do South article you've wrote. Just in awe of all the Sowards. God bless you all! Been such a blessing to me!!! 😇🌈😍🐾🌹🐓🐝🐏❤
I enjoyed getting to know you better! I cracked up when you said you had a perm!🤣 That was funny! I love your curly hair! I’m so glad to have found your channel, chickens, goats, friends, family well you get the drift. Sweet and special family! 🌻
I absolutely loved this video! Well, I love all of them, but this one in particular. I was always drawn to the joy that I see in all of your videos, and now I know that that joy does indeed come from God. May He bless you and your family for many years to come!
I really enjoyed getting to know you! It's funny, the first video I saw of you was the explanation of tomatoes, and as I listened I was just blown away by this sense of peace that flowed out of you. You can really feel God's presence through your words. You're a lovely person, inside and out!
Thank you gor your willingness to be vulnerable and share! What a beautiful video! Your song brought me to tears. Your testimonies of healing and the power of God and the humbling experience that only a mission trip can bring about are POWERFUL! Thank you for being willing to share those and speak to who God is and what He has done. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Omgosh! You are such a doll! Thank you for sharing. So happy to watch Gods light shine through you and hear how he has amazed you and blessed you. You are a blessing to all us who watch your channel. Thank you again. ❤️
When u talked about research and learning....so me!!! My friends find it so funny on all the random stuff I know about differnt things. I cant help it.....lol. I am the same way in learning gardening.
My daughters love tattoos. As I commented after watching my first video on your channel, you have an amazing presence in front of the camera, and you have a tremendous knowledge of gardening that you so easily communicate to ordinary people like me. I also enjoy Jeremiah. He did a great job with the raised bed video. I expect your channel will grow rapidly.
OK Jess....You clearly sing for the Glory of God, and it is beautiful. We are moving soon to the Ozarks or somewhere near there. When we get settled, I am certain that your family would be a blessing of a guest to have in our home. All I can say is SING
You are just a beautiful person. I enjoy your garden and your love of life. It's a beautiful thing. You encourage me and I thank you for that. Keep singing your song 🌻
I love your authenticity, Jess! Just be you, that is somewhat rare these days, but it honors God and who He made you to be! I love your giggles and laughs and your teaching times. I've enjoyed your videos a couple months now as I return to gardening, in containers and felt pots, and hopefully climbing up on my twine trellis.
Jess, you have such a beautiful soul! Never be afraid to let that shine in what ever facet that may be in the moment, for each one is a gift God gave you to share with the world! You ooze the love of Christ and it is truly a blessing! We have so many similarities in interests and personality you could be my much younger sister... I have seven brothers but no sisters so there is an opening if your interested.
You are an awesome person! We have so much in common, glad to know I'm not alone. It wasn't by accident I was led to your channel. Thank you and God bless!
Jess, I am also a christian, and enjoy your interpretation of life . Your children , kids (goats), and garden are a delight to watch grow. Thank You for sharing about yourself and your faith. Actually the fact that you mentioned your faith in the past made me want to subscribe .
We are the same age I think. Became mamas at the same time. I just am a few years behind u on gardening. You’re a huge inspiration to me. Glad you’re here with us on RUclips ❤️🌿✨
I think I have seen just about all of your 1.1k videos as of the end of March 2023. Here I am watering my tomatoes an hour away from you in SC. You are amazing and beautiful inside and out, as well as your family! You're destined for great things !
Of all the videos I’ve binged watched, (on ur channel) this was by far the most super to watch! Everyone we see on here has their story, and yours was very touching 😊 and took a touch of courage to share this deep about yourself. I hope to share mine soon once we’ve made more progress. Love to hear about our common things 😋 Thanks so much for sharing this heart-warming and detailed video ☺️😘
Beautiful inside and out! Thank you for making it possible for us to share your life in part. I lost my garden in the divorce, and it has been the hardest thing out of all the hard things to deal with. I love strolling through your garden with you, with kids and animals all around. It’s balm to my heart. I miss those years of my life so much, and I’m grateful to have had them. You bring them to life again. Thank you again and again.
I feel as if I already know you & have for a very long time. I think I could have guessed much of what you revealed, except some of the more deeply personal things. Thank you for sharing with all of us. ❤
Beautiful Jesse. You are truly a gift from God and I just adore you. Thank you for your testimony on the Love of our Father. He shines thru you. God Bless.
You have a wonderful story to tell. I really enjoyed learning more about you. I agree with you about not pushing God on people but just tell your story. I'm glad you were in the right place at the right time, your life has been forever changed because of it. What type of book are you thinking of writing? A gardening book? A fiction? A story of your life? Anyway, I really enjoyed your video and always look forward to the next one. I need to go back and watch your earlier videos now.
Wow! What an story and Thank You for letting us get to know you a little better. Keep singing, you have a beautiful voice. You have an amazing testimony and if God wants you to use your voice in praise songs you know he must have a reason.
GOD is good all the time!! I love your story thnx for sharing hun u r a blessing! OMG and attitude of GRADITUDE, I was blessed enough to get to go on a medical mission trip to Mexico one yr and wow. I loved it, I was an RN for almost 20 yrs am now retired on disability. I enjoyed getting to know u better thnx for sharing hun
You are a beautiful person inside and out. I have been binge watching you channel for awhile, you are a stunning angel of God. I have gathered strength from watching you love your family, animals and garden. We farmed in Texas for the first part of our marriage (44 years). We were forced to move to the big city after my son was burned at age 18 months. We needed to be closer to the the burn center. He is now 39 and a gifted leader and inspiration in many areas of his church. I truly believe God burned the spirit of compassion in him. After he was married he decided to get his nursing degree. He has excelled in all of the paths he has taken. God Bless you all.💜🙏🏼
Totally feel you on the singing thing I think I have a great voice but in front of other people I can't do it I sing to my kids and they love it on another note thank you so much for sharing these random things I find you a stronger woman just for knowing them I wish you most beautiful growing season
You are so inspiring! I often felt like I was watching a video of myself, thru someone else"s eyes. I am not religious but we have so much in common that it's crazy. I am an introvert, know how to sing but rarely do it aloud in front of anyone (i am going to start, thanks to you and your belief), I research everything and educate myself on everything I possibly can. People call me their own personal Google. Thank you for being you. You're an amazing woman and I look up to you.
I recently found you and decided I needed to go back 3yrs to the beginning and follow your story. Your story about Costella was beautiful! Although I do not have any "the help" story, I loved the movie and cry every time I watch it. Your relationship with God and your verse knowledge is inspiring and I tear up every time you talk about him. Thank you for sharing your life!
This young woman is a national treasure.
Agreed
YES!

You are a blessing. Don't stop sharing. Your smile brightens my day. I'm not surprised that you had a healing miracle in your life. Gratitude radiates from you.
Sing child! Let your sound fill the garden, your house, and the atmosphere with the love of God. Amen!
Thank you!!!
You have a lovely singing voice! More, please!!

Wow thank you so much
I knew there was something about you that gave me a sense of peace and calm. I always look forward to your videos. Now I can call you sister.
🙏♥️🙏

Wow feel so very blessed and honored to have you in my Life! You are beyond amazing and so real! Thank You! God Bless.
Amen!!! I’m trying to heal from mental illness, and your story of physical healing gives me hope.
Wow, Jess. Your bravery to share your testimony, your story, and your worship. One of my favorites. Blessed my heart once again. Thank you.

I’m a farm girl in the city, currently working on ways to maximize my growing space on a 75x100’ lot in Southern California. It is actually proving to be a fun challenge. Your vertical gardening tips are very inspiring! I’m growing grape vines on wire arches to create some shade for the hot spot in my garden, and so far am super happy with it.
Thanks for all the inspiration. You are awesome!
Fellow Believer and Gardener,

Jess, my name is Don Russell and I live in Bartlett Tn. I just wanted to let you know that I am one of your biggest fans and enjoy your videos so much. I just watched your video of 18 things about your personal life and it blessed me so much. Even before watching it my spirit bore witness with yours and had already told me that you were a Christian, but hearing your testimony certainly confirmed what I already strongly suspected. I have a very small raised bed garden that I am hesitant to show you because you have such a show place of a garden. I have four raised beds totaling 112 sq feet with 32 tomato plants and several cayenne peppers and a few herbs. I also have a few sprouts from seed that I have in pots. I know I’m way late with theses dwarfs and even if I do have tomatoes it won’t be until September but maybe they will come on as my others are dying out. So you see what I mean. You are a great communicator and I have no doubt that you will excel as you continue developing your writing skills and I want to buy your first published book. If you see this and respond please let me know exactly where in Arkansas y’all are located, who knows I may even come by sometime to meet you and Miah. God’s blessings to you and the family, I will pray for your continued success with utube and your writing exploits. Regards, Don
I really love the way your faith is so strong, but I don't feel that you are preachy. I have been made to feel uncomfortable by people in my life that feel that the faith is more correct than mine. You don't come off this way and I appreciate that. 🌻🌻🌻
Your story about Costella brought tears to my eyes. We also had a nanny who raised my father and his 4 siblings and then helped raise my brother and I. Her name was Corina and she had no family and didn't know her actual birth date. She left a huge mark in my heart that I will forever be grateful for ❤ I appreciate you sharing this story more than you know
God has the last word in your life . Your testimony is awesome. Great to hear your close with nature and God .
You are such an extraordinary young woman Jess. You make my heart sing. Been watching you & your family going on 2 years now. Read every Do South article you've wrote. Just in awe of all the Sowards. God bless you all! Been such a blessing to me!!! 😇🌈😍🐾🌹🐓🐝🐏❤
I enjoyed getting to know you better! I cracked up when you said you had a perm!🤣 That was funny! I love your curly hair! I’m so glad to have found your channel, chickens, goats, friends, family well you get the drift. Sweet and special family! 🌻
I absolutely loved this video! Well, I love all of them, but this one in particular. I was always drawn to the joy that I see in all of your videos, and now I know that that joy does indeed come from God. May He bless you and your family for many years to come!
I really enjoyed getting to know you! It's funny, the first video I saw of you was the explanation of tomatoes, and as I listened I was just blown away by this sense of peace that flowed out of you. You can really feel God's presence through your words. You're a lovely person, inside and out!

Thank you gor your willingness to be vulnerable and share! What a beautiful video! Your song brought me to tears. Your testimonies of healing and the power of God and the humbling experience that only a mission trip can bring about are POWERFUL! Thank you for being willing to share those and speak to who God is and what He has done. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Omgosh! You are such a doll! Thank you for sharing. So happy to watch Gods light shine through you and hear how he has amazed you and blessed you. You are a blessing to all us who watch your channel. Thank you again. ❤️
Omg number 17 made me cry.. all children should be loved and hugged and kissed... bless you xx
Beautiful, just beautiful, inside and out! Everything about you.. child of God.
My faith is increased. I praise God for this channel
When u talked about research and learning....so me!!! My friends find it so funny on all the random stuff I know about differnt things. I cant help it.....lol. I am the same way in learning gardening.
Same here! I recognized myself too.
Girl you are such a breath of fresh air! I started with your vertical garden video and am totally in love with your channel. Thank you for sharing!
Oh I think you should open your vlogs with a hymn you sing. Beautiful.
You have great intonation, I hope you keep exploring your voice and sing your heart!
My daughters love tattoos. As I commented after watching my first video on your channel, you have an amazing presence in front of the camera, and you have a tremendous knowledge of gardening that you so easily communicate to ordinary people like me. I also enjoy Jeremiah. He did a great job with the raised bed video. I expect your channel will grow rapidly.
Tatoo ink is not regulated in US.(think China)...www.healthnutnews.com/toxic-chemicals-found-in-tattoos-links-to-autoimmune-and-inflammatory-diseases/
Thank you so much Joe!
OK Jess....You clearly sing for the Glory of God, and it is beautiful. We are moving soon to the Ozarks or somewhere near there. When we get settled, I am certain that your family would be a blessing of a guest to have in our home. All I can say is SING
You are just a beautiful person. I enjoy your garden and your love of life. It's a beautiful thing. You encourage me and I thank you for that. Keep singing your song 🌻
I love your authenticity, Jess! Just be you, that is somewhat rare these days, but it honors God and who He made you to be! I love your giggles and laughs and your teaching times. I've enjoyed your videos a couple months now as I return to gardening, in containers and felt pots, and hopefully climbing up on my twine trellis.
The story of your healing really touched my heart and lifted my spirits. Recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love it.
You are an incredibly beautiful person, Jess. Thanks for providing an example that we all can learn from.
Jess, you have such a beautiful soul! Never be afraid to let that shine in what ever facet that may be in the moment, for each one is a gift God gave you to share with the world! You ooze the love of Christ and it is truly a blessing! We have so many similarities in interests and personality you could be my much younger sister... I have seven brothers but no sisters so there is an opening if your interested.
The world is a better place because Jess is in it. ❤️
You are an awesome person! We have so much in common, glad to know I'm not alone. It wasn't by accident I was led to your channel. Thank you and God bless!
Jess, I am also a christian, and enjoy your interpretation of life . Your children , kids (goats), and garden are a delight to watch grow. Thank You for sharing about yourself and your faith. Actually the fact that you mentioned your faith in the past made me want to subscribe .
Good for you! :) i'm 34 and just finding myself after some ups and downs. it makes me happy to see people happy
You're such a beautiful soul! A wonderful communicator as well. Your joy is contagious! Blessings!
We are the same age I think. Became mamas at the same time. I just am a few years behind u on gardening. You’re a huge inspiration to me. Glad you’re here with us on RUclips ❤️🌿✨
I’m 32 ❤️
I think I have seen just about all of your 1.1k videos as of the end of March 2023. Here I am watering my tomatoes an hour away from you in SC. You are amazing and beautiful inside and out, as well as your family! You're destined for great things !
Of all the videos I’ve binged watched, (on ur channel) this was by far the most super to watch! Everyone we see on here has their story, and yours was very touching 😊 and took a touch of courage to share this deep about yourself.
I hope to share mine soon once we’ve made more progress. Love to hear about our common things 😋 Thanks so much for sharing this heart-warming and detailed video ☺️😘
Thank you for being a bright light, Jess. Bless You. 💜🌟🌹
I'm new ,so I find myself binge watching your videos...lol. Thank you for sharing all this. Your testimony was very moving! God is Awesome 💛
Beautiful inside and out! Thank you for making it possible for us to share your life in part. I lost my garden in the divorce, and it has been the hardest thing out of all the hard things to deal with. I love strolling through your garden with you, with kids and animals all around. It’s balm to my heart. I miss those years of my life so much, and I’m grateful to have had them. You bring them to life again. Thank you again and again.
I feel as if I already know you & have for a very long time. I think I could have guessed much of what you revealed, except some of the more deeply personal things. Thank you for sharing with all of us. ❤
Beautiful Jesse. You are truly a gift from God and I just adore you. Thank you for your testimony on the Love of our Father. He shines thru you. God Bless.
Wonderful video! I am so glad I found your channel.
You're just precious, little mighty one!!! You bless me and so many others!!! What a joy and pleasure!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you!
You have a wonderful story to tell. I really enjoyed learning more about you. I agree with you about not pushing God on people but just tell your story. I'm glad you were in the right place at the right time, your life has been forever changed because of it. What type of book are you thinking of writing? A gardening book? A fiction? A story of your life? Anyway, I really enjoyed your video and always look forward to the next one. I need to go back and watch your earlier videos now.
Wow! What an story and Thank You for letting us get to know you a little better. Keep singing, you have a beautiful voice. You have an amazing testimony and if God wants you to use your voice in praise songs you know he must have a reason.
GOD is good all the time!! I love your story thnx for sharing hun u r a blessing! OMG and attitude of GRADITUDE, I was blessed enough to get to go on a medical mission trip to Mexico one yr and wow. I loved it, I was an RN for almost 20 yrs am now retired on disability. I enjoyed getting to know u better thnx for sharing hun
Thank you for sharing and reminding us all about God’s goodness. Your testimony is powerful.
Jeremiah is a lucky guy, but I am sure he is aware of that. God bless you and your Family!
Conscientiousness is a great personality trait to have and it explains a lot about why I enjoy watching your channel so much!
A beautiful voice to match a beautiful spirit, so pleased I found you via the Rhodes channel. Looking forward to getting to know you all 😁
You are precious. God blessed. Touching hearts. Teaching minds. Please don’t stop. You’re a doll! 😊❤️
I read some of your articles at Do South and think God is using your talents in a special way, keep your eyes on him and be blessed.
You are a beautiful person inside and out. I have been binge watching you channel for awhile, you are a stunning angel of God. I have gathered strength from watching you love your family, animals and garden. We farmed in Texas for the first part of our marriage (44 years). We were forced to move to the big city after my son was burned at age 18 months. We needed to be closer to the the burn center. He is now 39 and a gifted leader and inspiration in many areas of his church. I truly believe God burned the spirit of compassion in him. After he was married he decided to get his nursing degree. He has excelled in all of the paths he has taken. God Bless you all.💜🙏🏼
Aww! Loved to hear you sing girl! You have what it takes! I so wish I could sing but I sound like Alfalfa from the little Rascals. Lol.
Your story brings tears to my eyes. GOD IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!
Your a beautiful soul.
Thank you for exposing your self to us. Continue to shine in your work and ministry. Continue to make a difference
Totally feel you on the singing thing I think I have a great voice but in front of other people I can't do it I sing to my kids and they love it on another note thank you so much for sharing these random things I find you a stronger woman just for knowing them I wish you most beautiful growing season
I would like this video a million times if it would let me! Love this beautiful soul! ❤️
You are so inspiring! I often felt like I was watching a video of myself, thru someone else"s eyes. I am not religious but we have so much in common that it's crazy. I am an introvert, know how to sing but rarely do it aloud in front of anyone (i am going to start, thanks to you and your belief), I research everything and educate myself on everything I possibly can. People call me their own personal Google. Thank you for being you. You're an amazing woman and I look up to you.
I felt the same way. 😊
I'm so glad I came upon your channel. It has been a blessing during this pandemic. ❤
You are incredible, Justin Rhodes gave you a shout out in a RUclips video and came to know about your videos.... you are doing a fantastic job
I recently found you and decided I needed to go back 3yrs to the beginning and follow your story. Your story about Costella was beautiful! Although I do not have any "the help" story, I loved the movie and cry every time I watch it. Your relationship with God and your verse knowledge is inspiring and I tear up every time you talk about him. Thank you for sharing your life!
I love this video...you keep singing , your blessed !
JESS!!! When you sang I got goose bumps!! Don’t ever be nervous about that again! Wow!! 💜
