Loved that! My husband works out of state but he supports everything that I do completely. Probably good bc he’s not the best carpenter or mechanic lol! That’s always been my job 🤷♀️ He’s the best gardener tho and his advice is always golden ❤️
A thought on the concrete composting bays.... it is best if the breaking down materials are touching the ground so worms and bugs can come up from the ground and integrated easier. Your thoughts?
Sitting in the midst of what they build they laughed as the rain came falling down on a lush garden in the first of June a man and woman preparing to leave climbing vines, and blooming flowers and budding fruit for the possibility of something unknown for more climbing flowers, and blooming vines and budding fruit for more than they could even imagine they were willing to let this go and the rain fell on these things and they shared it with the world. By Jess @ Roots and Refuge Farm Crap it’s raining, I can’t get a lot done today I really wish it wasn’t raining, cause I have this to-do-list to do You know we just have to move a farm in like less than 9 weeks No biggie and the rain came falling down By Jeremiah @ Roots and Refuge Farm Thank you for blessing us, every video with both your wisdom!
Needing to step away from one garden before you can imagine the next garden is like trying to recall the lyrics of a song when a different song is playing.
I wish everyone had a person that would touch the small of their back and say "I got you" 💗 I have absolutely no doubt y'all got this. I can't wait to watch it all unfold.
I am not a gardener or a homestead but I am hooked on this channel because my spirit is nourished here. thank you, both Jess and Miah -- and side note -- every woman deserves a man in her life who looks at her in the way Miah gazes upon Jess. Just saying
Miah looks happier than I've ever seen him, even with all the responsibility of moving, he must be very excited for the change. Best interview ever! Love, love, love your willingness to share deep thoughts, not many people can be that honest with themselves, much less others. So glad that I'm among thousands that appreciate the value in your self reflection.
"I cant look at the camera .. i can only look at you okay .. Im sorry .. Im trying to look at the camera but its not as pretty" ... you make me smirk Mr Miah ... I love how he loves you Jess. Ooooo Jess and your poetry!!! ... my gosh, I love how your mind creates love You guys are wonderful ... great interveiw Miah
Words are Jess' tools. Miah can look at something and know what materials to use, what tools to choose to create it. Jess looks at something and knows how it feels and what words to use to create it. In the end they are both gifts of beauty.
Awww. This reminds me of when you Jess mentioned that Miah would make sure to include you in photos and take beautiful photos of you, because you as a photographer would often feel a little left out. I love that he goes so out of his way to make you feel loved and special and cared for. It’s so sweet. ❤️
The Prophet . On Children Gibran Kahlil Gibran // Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Jess, you have blossomed abundantly in the past three or four years. There were beautiful flowers then, but the flowers and fruit now bloom and grow across the world as you have impacted others deeply!
This is probably my favorite interview! Funny how we can be married for so long and still learn so much about each other, its so fun, it doeant ever need to get boring!
Agreed. I’m in my first ever grow season and regularly find myself up late at night with poetic inspiration related to thoughts of wonder and all the lessons my garden is teaching me. I make short garden films out of them and document it all in a new channel. I would LOVE for Jess to do something similar - I call them “Poetic Productions” and would love for others to follow suit. More poetry, more art, more of that beautiful harmony like R&R 😍
I love the way that Miah looked at you when you were talking poetic about the man and the woman in the garden. You could see the love for you in his eyes!
Ok, you had me swooning, I love poetry! Thank you for the impromptu poem, it forced me to make one on the fly. I almost didn't post this but you guys inspire me. Here it goes. As the clouds swell Overflowing The rain falls on the garden A gift of vitality, abundance Filling the hearts of lovers The sun sets, sparkling As the Hearts swell Overflowing Love seeps in Life blooms ❤
Jess: "Oh look, we coordinate.." Maiah (red faced): "Not really..black pants.. jeans" I feel your pain Just think, getting the infrastructure.. just the way you want.. from the getgo vs undoing, then putting it in, HUGE
“Oh look at the hummingbird!” That’s one thing I love about your heart Jess. Even during videos when you’re focused and thinking. You want to point out something beautiful to Miah. I know you’ve both seen many hummingbirds, but it’s a new joy each time.
Lol I so identified I do the same thing. My ex used to tell me “he loved how I got excited over the smallest things.” He said it because we were at Disney world and all the exciting things happening around us and I was playing with baby chicks who were feeding out of my hand and this made me so happy. The highlight of my trip.
Jess, I've always struggled to enjoy poetry and largely gave up on the whole genre, but after watching you for two years I'd buy a book of your poetry in a heartbeat and I know from reading comments that I'm not alone ( so don't feel shy or bashful about putting that on your project list). My 8 yr old son ( and aspiring gardener) listened to your video while he ate breakfast and said," she has a wonderful laugh!" And I told him you certainly do!❤
Honestly Jess, you should interview yourself. Ask your future self some questions. And in a year from now. 2 years 5 yeas from now, play that video back, and record your answers. Ask yourself about the things you LOVE about your garden/farm at the time. Ask yourself what you miss most about your current garden/farm. Ask yourself about your cows and your goats and ask yourself how what you wish you had known today what your future self would tell your current self about your new farm. About your new life. You'll have time to learn how to edit that video lol 😆
Well, I was about to say how hard it is to do anything when put on the spot. And there is Jess squirming and grimacing. Then all of a sudden magic words started pouring from her heart. Beautiful.💕
It’s crazy because I have a cyst on my wrist that persistently comes back, I’ve had surgery on it and done the old fashion methods to get rid of it and it always comes back. Every time. I watched the video where Jess is talking about her healing session and I prayed to God and said “man, I wish someone would heal me, please God bring someone like that my way”. And the next day it was gone. It’s insane. I really didn’t believe in that much.
It's not weird :) You prayed and God met you where you are....faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. Sometimes God does things like that to show us that he knows where we are at, what we are facing, hears the cries of our heart, etc. especially when we may not "see" Him or "hear" Him in that season. Faith building...
Jess and Jeremiah, I'm standing in my kitchen, cooking breakfast for supper. Jess began to give a Poetic word that still has me in tears. I am a writers as well. I am very descriptive and my lists of Adjectives never run dry. Be Blessed 🙌 my ❤ Friends.
I've always been able to write much better than I speak and got awards in school for poems and book reports even in college. I miss it a lot. Jess really is very poetic but she is much better at articulating her speach than I.
“Sitting in the midst of what they’d built they laughed as the rain came falling down on a lush garden.....”. Jessica you are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible life and family with us. You are truly a blessing 🙏
I watched that devotion 2 years ago and I was in that place of dreaming. I was in a place of yearning and longing. I would would pray and God would give me vision and the I would spend hours researching. So here we are now and God has turned my life upside down in a beautiful way and now we have birthed a farm named Wild Fyre Farms and we are producing like 65 percent of our food. Its mind blowing. Thank you for following your path and sharing.
What's amazing for me is that at age 60, all of those thoughts are still true in my life. I am sending my youngest off to college in fall and a year ago I began really planning for my next stage of life. I thought all my dreams had been fulfilled. So I began to explore things I'd thought of but never tried. Now I am gardening, doing arts and crafty things, refinishing furniture, swimming, just bought a new home so I can move away from a parenting centered life and have more focus on what is mine to do with the rest of my life, wanting to explore photography, adding lots of color to my life like never before, and on and on. The dreams make me feel younger, and I am more able to create anything than ever before. Life is good. So great to hear others stories and dreams. Thank you.
17:03 for whoever wants to go back and listen to it again 🥰 Did anyone else get teary eyed when Jess dropped her poetic genius on us 🥰🥺😢😭❤️👏🏽. I think your next book should be poetic short stories; some of your favorite original Roots & Refuge Farm images and a poem about how that image moved you.
I love to see the way y'all are in love! Definitely a blessing to see!:-) PS... tell him that poetry comes from love... from the Holy Spirit , the overflow of the heart pours forth from you...:-)
"does that make sense?.. I don't think it does to everyone" Jessica, please know that the higher power speaks through you, and your message always gets to who it needs to ✨💖
I love this advice, Jess. It makes me think of that distinction of coming from a place of lack or a place of abundance. You can yearn for more without it compromising your contentment, because you aren't fearful of lack. You're content in what the world has to offer, rather than afraid of what it might take away.
I understand the feeling. It's like, "Now you have gotten your dream, how are you gonna pull it all together?" :) Kind of daunting. You, the woman sitting in the middle of her blooms on June 1st, will rise and grow in totally unexpected ways.
@6:47 when Miah comforted Jess. I pray that everyone finds the person God has made for them. A person who will reach out and say “I got you” that level of support. ✨
I absolutely loved this "Sweet Miah" interview show!!! Believing in God to grow what you need it what brings me to the garden! I call it "Our" garden. As in God and my's garden. I'm just the steward and He produces it. Thank you for opening up your poetic mind to us. God bless you both!!
Thank you for expressing that. I'm very intimidated by everything I don't know about plants and their needs. If I can remember that it is (mine and his) I won't worry and stress as much. I'll know it's like Miah said to Jess... He's got me - Even in the garden.
Gosh passing out after giving plasma to get gas money made me cry...absolutely me just a few years ago. Im still not where i want to be but im always progressing.
Bless your heart, Jess. We left South Carolina for Texas last year (for a job offer), and I had to walk around and tell my teeny tiny little garden goodbye with LOTS of tears. I have way more acreage now with plans for a huge garden here that I already LOVE, but I left a piece of my heart with that little garden FOR SURE. ❤️🥲
Just when I thought you could not be lovelier....You literally radiate and reflect the LORD on levels and dimensions that you don’t even know, his spirit in you stirs my spirit, I really can’t quite explain it.
"Love is in the air everywhere I look around" that was an epic interview. Miah devotion is so incredible. Jess when you said about looking forward in the new place "cows" made me smile. I was in my mid 30's when I visited a real farm. Until than I have lived in a big city. For my surprised I have realised I love cows. I felt I born into the wrong place. I started collecting anything cows. Now I live on a mini farm the last 3.5 years and waking up with cows around me. Epic. My next life I am starting straight on the farm. No desk job for this girl even I agree with Miah getting up early is not my idea but I think on the long run worth it. Thank you for your honesty and thank you teaching me even I am the older one and I am very happy to learn from you. Looking forward the next interview. Ohhh and please more poetry.😍🤩😇🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
Jess, one phrase stuck out to me and it was just a small comment, that could have been easily missed, but it was so big. When you were talking about being nervous about creating the new gardens, Miah just smiled and simply said “I got ya” ❤️
Jess, you brought tears to my eyes with that poetry. You were embarrassed but pushed through it in front of the camera just as you had encouraged Asher to push through his fear.
It’s the pain and hardship that makes the poetic and rose colored view of life truly special and blessed! You are a beautiful person and people could learn much from you! Love you! 💜
My husband is always saying "I got you" Love hearing that on here. also to me living off the land and providing for my family is the closest to God as one can get, He will provide!
I have so much respect for you Jess. Listening to you talk about God, and your faith just moved me so much. You're not much older than me, but you are further ahead in life (as far as having children, having a homestead...) And I definitely look up to you and am so incredibly thankful that God brought your channel across my path. I've learned so much from you while I'm in my waiting room. ♥️ Thank you for doing this!
I absolutely love the way that Jess and Miah know that their brains work differently and they make an effort to make sure the other understands the questions that they are asking. “Does that make sense to you” is my favorite thing in all of their videos 😍
Oh Sweet Jess, you unlocked a very well protected unhealthy stronghold in me. I think in poetry as well but have had some experiences which caused me to squash that part of myself... subsequently I'm dealing with anxiety and it breaks my heart because I know that's not me. Hearing you speak so confidently, even when maybe you don't feel confident, incites bravery in me. I can and should be my whole self, the way God made me. As God intended, the best place to get ahold of that is in the garden. There is inspiration to be had among brave beets, courageous calendula, and tall tomatoes. Thank you once again, my faraway friend. You inspire me to live wilder still and let the power of the Lord be greater than my brokenness.
I love their relationship! #goals! The way he reached and touched her immediately when she said the garden feels daunting and she was going to cry and the way he said "I got you" ugh my heart! I'm so excited for you guys and to see the new garden!
Best thing I’ve heard in a very long time, “...make space for who you are.” Words to live by! I pray that you never lose your vision for the beauty that exists in this world and your gift for expressing it. Amen.
"...poetry is a way of seeing, and a poet is not so much a person skilled with words as a person who recognizes the poetry that exists all the time - all around us." I watched this video earlier today and tonight was listening to Ani DiFranco's memoir which contained this quote which I had to immediately come share with you because this is exactly how I felt in my heart when Miah asked you to wax poetic (something I'm prone to as well).💕
Hearing you just speak poetry out of nothing, it is absolutely beautiful. Remove everything gardening and homestead related things, and you truly are a blessing just with your words alone Jess. And as a side note : that compost stall idea is genius, we may have to do something similar!
That question about being poetic and you able to come right out with something so thoughtful and beautiful was my favorite part of the interview. I admire that so much.
Wax poetic away girl! I was always the kid falling behind on walks, or spending hours by themselves outdoors. I am still the adult falling behind on walks, getting lost in the texture of a leaf or the color of rust . I felt different. Now I am grateful for my vision. I am grateful i am different. I am an artist.
"You grow the things...I build the things...I got you!!!" Oh how I swooned when Miah said that! You all are so awesome!
Must be wonderful to have a man like that. I was never so blessed unfortunately. I had the opposite.
Swooned..
Haven't heard that word in a while!! Yes!
Loved that! My husband works out of state but he supports everything that I do completely.
Probably good bc he’s not the best carpenter or mechanic lol!
That’s always been my job 🤷♀️
He’s the best gardener tho and his advice is always golden ❤️
The way Jeremiah looks at Jess during her on the spot poem. Serious goals 😍😍
Yes! The love Miah has for Jess in that moment, was flowing from him ❤️
A thought on the concrete composting bays.... it is best if the breaking down materials are touching the ground so worms and bugs can come up from the ground and integrated easier. Your thoughts?
I agree the whole interview you could see the love and respect that Jeremiah has for Jess.
It was so nice to see that :)
Gives me chills!!
"And the rain fell on these things."
I just burst into tears.
Yep. Me too 😅😍
Me also!
I'm glad to hear that someone else cried
Me too!
Me too!!!😭😭😭😢😟😔
Sitting in the midst of what they build
they laughed as the rain came falling down on a lush garden in the first of June
a man and woman preparing to leave
climbing vines, and blooming flowers and budding fruit
for the possibility of something unknown
for more climbing flowers, and blooming vines and budding fruit
for more than they could even imagine
they were willing to let this go and the rain fell on these things
and they shared it with the world.
By Jess @ Roots and Refuge Farm
Crap it’s raining, I can’t get a lot done today
I really wish it wasn’t raining, cause I have this to-do-list to do
You know we just have to move a farm in like less than 9 weeks
No biggie and the rain came falling down
By Jeremiah @ Roots and Refuge Farm
Thank you for blessing us, every video with both your wisdom!
“...and poems.
I mean, yours were better than mine, but mine was not bad!”😂
I was hoping somebody wrote those down thank you!
😂😂🤣
I'm so glad someone wrote this! I felt like I was going back to the old days of CDs and doing the play/ pause/write/repeat, for your favorite song!
@@sadiekenyon4743 oh my gosh you must be young! For me the old days were cassettes you probably don't even know what those are LOL 😆
Needing to step away from one garden before you can imagine the next garden is like trying to recall the lyrics of a song when a different song is playing.
That is exactly it.
So true
OH my goodness, YESS
Jess said that she needed to detach first to envision the next garden....there is something to that.
I wish everyone had a person that would touch the small of their back and say "I got you" 💗 I have absolutely no doubt y'all got this. I can't wait to watch it all unfold.
I know. I got all the feels
Isn't that the hearts' desire to have someone to be there for them...😍❤
I thought the same thing,sweet miah is amazing
Okay yes! That was so precious!
This is why he earns the name "Sweet Miah!"
The way Miah looked at Jess when she was pouring out her poem about their farm!!! Pure love 🥰🥰😍😍
Yes, how much he truly loves her is so obvious and vice versa. I love these two.
They are so soooooooo precious 💖💗
I think your third book may need to be a book of homestead/garden poetry! Beautiful!! 😲😍
Or a garden devotional!
I am not a gardener or a homestead but I am hooked on this channel because my spirit is nourished here. thank you, both Jess and Miah -- and side note -- every woman deserves a man in her life who looks at her in the way Miah gazes upon Jess. Just saying
and every man deserves a woman that looks at him the way she does Miah.
“There’s Greater Still”.sounds like the next tshirt
YES‼️
I agree
Yaaasss!! And sticker!!!!!!!
Absolutely!
Yep, I'm definitely in!!
Miah looks happier than I've ever seen him, even with all the responsibility of moving, he must be very excited for the change. Best interview ever! Love, love, love your willingness to share deep thoughts, not many people can be that honest with themselves, much less others. So glad that I'm among thousands that appreciate the value in your self reflection.
My favorite thing about Jess is how often and freely she laughs.
"I cant look at the camera .. i can only look at you okay .. Im sorry .. Im trying to look at the camera but its not as pretty" ... you make me smirk Mr Miah ... I love how he loves you Jess.
Ooooo Jess and your poetry!!! ... my gosh, I love how your mind creates love
You guys are wonderful ... great interveiw Miah
Words are Jess' tools. Miah can look at something and know what materials to use, what tools to choose to create it. Jess looks at something and knows how it feels and what words to use to create it. In the end they are both gifts of beauty.
Absolutely. It’s alchemic magic that we get to witness! Beauty and harmony. And how we all benefit when we get to see harmony 😍❤️🥰
Exactly! Their combination of such different talents and individual gifts, really make the perfect balance
"you get all kinds of things you didn't know you wanted when married to me" I chuckled
Isn't that the way marriage is supposed to be? Getting what you didn't know you wanted !! That's God !
I laughed out loud! 😂
"Do not fall for the lie that you have to settle." Jessica
And is this not the best advice? ❤
😭😭😭 I feel this to my core
Those words speak life to me and my hopes and dreams
Awww. This reminds me of when you Jess mentioned that Miah would make sure to include you in photos and take beautiful photos of you, because you as a photographer would often feel a little left out. I love that he goes so out of his way to make you feel loved and special and cared for. It’s so sweet. ❤️
I do hope they have photos of her working/enjoying her garden/house, before they move.❤️
That’s why he is sweet Miah
The respect you show for your children's individuality is so sacred and such a good example for all parents/ guardians.
The Prophet . On Children
Gibran Kahlil Gibran // Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
I loved the interview. It made me cry. My favorite line. "We define the ceiling in our lives." And everyone said "AMEN."
Amen!
God started us in the garden and calling us back!
Amen!
Amen
Jess, you have blossomed abundantly in the past three or four years. There were beautiful flowers then, but the flowers and fruit now bloom and grow across the world as you have impacted others deeply!
Anyone else get choked up at Jess's poem? I almost shed a tear. Beautiful words, Jess.
Yes!
My husband heard that poetry and said, “did she just come up with that?”
This is probably my favorite interview! Funny how we can be married for so long and still learn so much about each other, its so fun, it doeant ever need to get boring!
The world needs more poetry right now. We have become so disconnected with our hearts/souls.
Agreed. I’m in my first ever grow season and regularly find myself up late at night with poetic inspiration related to thoughts of wonder and all the lessons my garden is teaching me.
I make short garden films out of them and document it all in a new channel.
I would LOVE for Jess to do something similar - I call them “Poetic Productions” and would love for others to follow suit. More poetry, more art, more of that beautiful harmony like R&R 😍
"You and I can build anything together"...that was so touching!
I love the way that Miah looked at you when you were talking poetic about the man and the woman in the garden. You could see the love for you in his eyes!
Ok, you had me swooning, I love poetry! Thank you for the impromptu poem, it forced me to make one on the fly.
I almost didn't post this but you guys inspire me. Here it goes.
As the clouds swell
Overflowing
The rain falls on the garden
A gift of vitality, abundance
Filling the hearts of lovers
The sun sets, sparkling
As the Hearts swell
Overflowing
Love seeps in
Life blooms
❤
🥰🥰🥰
"Cool, I'm mustering as much energy to sound excited as I can" Miah, never have I related to you so much until now 😂😂😂
Jess: "Oh look, we coordinate.."
Maiah (red faced): "Not really..black pants.. jeans"
I feel your pain
Just think, getting the infrastructure.. just the way you want.. from the getgo vs undoing, then putting it in, HUGE
Reminded me of my husband!
“Oh look at the hummingbird!” That’s one thing I love about your heart Jess. Even during videos when you’re focused and thinking. You want to point out something beautiful to Miah. I know you’ve both seen many hummingbirds, but it’s a new joy each time.

soooo ADD OH LOOK A HUMMINGBIRD!!!!! I DO THAT TOO
"SQUIRREL" lol
Yep. I do the same too haha.
Agree. I hung a hummingbird feeder a couple weeks ago and just saw the first one 3 days ago and I always smile and gasp every time I see them.
I would love an interview with Jill when you walk the farm!
Haha she’s coming over next Wednesday to do just that!
Wonderful!
When Miah said 'remember, you grow all the thing I build all the thing's in such a reassuring voice, my heart just melted
Jess, I've always struggled to enjoy poetry and largely gave up on the whole genre, but after watching you for two years I'd buy a book of your poetry in a heartbeat and I know from reading comments that I'm not alone ( so don't feel shy or bashful about putting that on your project list).
My 8 yr old son ( and aspiring gardener) listened to your video while he ate breakfast and said," she has a wonderful laugh!" And I told him you certainly do!❤
Honestly Jess, you should interview yourself. Ask your future self some questions. And in a year from now. 2 years 5 yeas from now, play that video back, and record your answers.
Ask yourself about the things you LOVE about your garden/farm at the time. Ask yourself what you miss most about your current garden/farm. Ask yourself about your cows and your goats and ask yourself how what you wish you had known today what your future self would tell your current self about your new farm. About your new life.
You'll have time to learn how to edit that video lol 😆
This is an awesome idea!
I would definitely want to see that!!!
Well, I was about to say how hard it is to do anything when put on the spot. And there is Jess squirming and grimacing. Then all of a sudden magic words started pouring from her heart. Beautiful.💕
Jess you brought tears to my eyes when you waxed poetic.
I can imaging you old, on your porch reciting poetry, out loud to your grand children..🌸🌹🍁🍅🍓🍉
I knew this was gonna be good but y’all took it to a whole notha level!
It’s crazy because I have a cyst on my wrist that persistently comes back, I’ve had surgery on it and done the old fashion methods to get rid of it and it always comes back. Every time. I watched the video where Jess is talking about her healing session and I prayed to God and said “man, I wish someone would heal me, please God bring someone like that my way”.

Oh my gosh this is just such a wonderful video. Miah - 'I certainly don't think that way, I just think - crap, it's raining'

Jessica, please know that the higher power speaks through you, and your message always gets to who it needs to ✨💖
I'm so thankful that you DO share. Because it's shown me how to see the possibilities that are in my life again.
Wow, I teared up with the on the spot poem, what a gift

Jess your laugh is so cute. I forgot the word I was going to say. Miah THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
Amen!
That outpouring of poetry moved my heart to tears
Sweet Miah!! A nickname name has never been so perfect...💯💕 I absolutely love your love for one another. “Real love comes flirty” ☺️😏
I love this advice, Jess. It makes me think of that distinction of coming from a place of lack or a place of abundance. You can yearn for more without it compromising your contentment, because you aren't fearful of lack. You're content in what the world has to offer, rather than afraid of what it might take away.
I understand the feeling. It's like, "Now you have gotten your dream, how are you gonna pull it all together?" :) Kind of daunting. You, the woman sitting in the middle of her blooms on June 1st, will rise and grow in totally unexpected ways.
@6:47 when Miah comforted Jess. I pray that everyone finds the person God has made for them. A person who will reach out and say “I got you” that level of support. ✨
I absolutely loved this "Sweet Miah" interview show!!! Believing in God to grow what you need it what brings me to the garden! I call it "Our" garden. As in God and my's garden. I'm just the steward and He produces it. Thank you for opening up your poetic mind to us. God bless you both!!
Thank you for expressing that. I'm very intimidated by everything I don't know about plants and their needs. If I can remember that it is (mine and his) I won't worry and stress as much. I'll know it's like Miah said to Jess... He's got me - Even in the garden.
"live in a way that makes space for who you are" thank you for this Jess. from the bottom of my heart.
Your poem was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes ❤️🌺
“And the rain fell down 🌧💦
Me too...came straight to the comments to see if there were any other empaths crying lol 😭
Yes!!!

Gosh passing out after giving plasma to get gas money made me cry...absolutely me just a few years ago. Im still not where i want to be but im always progressing.
We don’t care if it’s blurry, I love watching you be genuine 😉
Jess’s poem made me cry and Jeremiah’s made me laugh. Such a beautiful blending of two souls together. Love y’all and love these interview shows ❤️🤍❤️
The way Miah looks at you Jess, especially while you were being poetic, is pure love! Excellent video!
Bless your heart, Jess. We left South Carolina for Texas last year (for a job offer), and I had to walk around and tell my teeny tiny little garden goodbye with LOTS of tears. I have way more acreage now with plans for a huge garden here that I already LOVE, but I left a piece of my heart with that little garden FOR SURE. ❤️🥲
P.S. You’re going to love South Carolina, sister.🌴🌙
You know we need a sticker now..."and the rain fell..."😁
Jess, record your thoughts on your phone, then when you have a chance write them down. You need to write a poetry book ! I would buy it 😁👍🏻❤️
Great interview Miah...”and the rain came down.”
Just when I thought you could not be lovelier....You literally radiate and reflect the LORD on levels and dimensions that you don’t even know, his spirit in you stirs my spirit, I really can’t quite explain it.
Your “on the spot” poetry was absolutely beautiful, Jess! And your laughter is so contagious 😊
You need to publish a poetry book!!!! That was beautiful!!!!
My new favorite talk show!!
"Love is in the air everywhere I look around" that was an epic interview. Miah devotion is so incredible. Jess when you said about looking forward in the new place "cows" made me smile. I was in my mid 30's when I visited a real farm. Until than I have lived in a big city. For my surprised I have realised I love cows. I felt I born into the wrong place. I started collecting anything cows. Now I live on a mini farm the last 3.5 years and waking up with cows around me. Epic. My next life I am starting straight on the farm. No desk job for this girl even I agree with Miah getting up early is not my idea but I think on the long run worth it.
Thank you for your honesty and thank you teaching me even I am the older one and I am very happy to learn from you. Looking forward the next interview. Ohhh and please more poetry.😍🤩😇🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
I love the way jess’s mind works, sometimes it’s just when something just rushes over you and you can’t help but describe it
Jess, one phrase stuck out to me and it was just a small comment, that could have been easily missed, but it was so big. When you were talking about being nervous about creating the new gardens, Miah just smiled and simply said “I got ya” ❤️
Jess, you brought tears to my eyes with that poetry. You were embarrassed but pushed through it in front of the camera just as you had encouraged Asher to push through his fear.
That poem gave me such intense chills that I had to turn on my seat warmer 🥰
It’s the pain and hardship that makes the poetic and rose colored view of life truly special and blessed! You are a beautiful person and people could learn much from you! Love you! 💜
My husband is always saying "I got you" Love hearing that on here. also to me living off the land and providing for my family is the closest to God as one can get, He will provide!
I have so much respect for you Jess. Listening to you talk about God, and your faith just moved me so much. You're not much older than me, but you are further ahead in life (as far as having children, having a homestead...) And I definitely look up to you and am so incredibly thankful that God brought your channel across my path. I've learned so much from you while I'm in my waiting room. ♥️ Thank you for doing this!
I absolutely love the way that Jess and Miah know that their brains work differently and they make an effort to make sure the other understands the questions that they are asking. “Does that make sense to you” is my favorite thing in all of their videos 😍
"It's just there" 😂 Great job Jess at on the spot poetry
Oh Sweet Jess, you unlocked a very well protected unhealthy stronghold in me. I think in poetry as well but have had some experiences which caused me to squash that part of myself... subsequently I'm dealing with anxiety and it breaks my heart because I know that's not me. Hearing you speak so confidently, even when maybe you don't feel confident, incites bravery in me. I can and should be my whole self, the way God made me. As God intended, the best place to get ahold of that is in the garden. There is inspiration to be had among brave beets, courageous calendula, and tall tomatoes. Thank you once again, my faraway friend. You inspire me to live wilder still and let the power of the Lord be greater than my brokenness.
I love their relationship! #goals! The way he reached and touched her immediately when she said the garden feels daunting and she was going to cry and the way he said "I got you" ugh my heart! I'm so excited for you guys and to see the new garden!
Best thing I’ve heard in a very long time, “...make space for who you are.” Words to live by! I pray that you never lose your vision for the beauty that exists in this world and your gift for expressing it. Amen.
"...poetry is a way of seeing, and a poet is not so much a person skilled with words as a person who recognizes the poetry that exists all the time - all around us."
I watched this video earlier today and tonight was listening to Ani DiFranco's memoir which contained this quote which I had to immediately come share with you because this is exactly how I felt in my heart when Miah asked you to wax poetic (something I'm prone to as well).💕
Good grief, JESS!!! You speak what my heart FEELS and I am so grateful to have the words to express myself now, THANK YOU!!!!
Hearing you just speak poetry out of nothing, it is absolutely beautiful. Remove everything gardening and homestead related things, and you truly are a blessing just with your words alone Jess. And as a side note : that compost stall idea is genius, we may have to do something similar!
And the rain falls ...good job! Enjoyable Interview.
Wow, just wow! Miah, "Yeah like that."
Love hearing this poem flow out of your heart..
Jess..... don’t ever feel embarrassed about your incredible gift! That was absolutely stunning!❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
Your poetry wooed my heart, I haven’t the gift wish I did.
That question about being poetic and you able to come right out with something so thoughtful and beautiful was my favorite part of the interview. I admire that so much.
Jess, when you were talking of your poetry, it reminded me of my sister in law. I love when she prays for us. It's poetic like you.
Wax poetic away girl! I was always the kid falling behind on walks, or spending hours by themselves outdoors. I am still the adult falling behind on walks, getting lost in the texture of a leaf or the color of rust . I felt different. Now I am grateful for my vision. I am grateful i am different. I am an artist.
"there is more, there is always more" wow. ministered to me. contentment and greater still.
God has given you a beautiful poetic heart Jess❤
Your poetry seriously got the tears flowing over here.
Yup!!!
