That message was straight from the Lord, and delivered in such a wonderfully calming manner. Faith over fear, every time. Thank you, and may God continue to comfort and bless you on your grief journey. ♥️
Amen Amen🙏🕊🙏
AMEN 🙏🙏 Kendra
I have to share my stock up from yesterday with someone who will "get it," because most people I know do not.. I went into a big chain store yesterday to pick up some things for my parents who can't shop for themselves and, as always, walked to the canning section. Low and behold- wide mouth canning lids! 4 cases!! I haven't seen them since pre-2020 here. I know I must have looked like a child in a candy store. Thank you, Lord! I only got 20 boxes, some to share with a friend, some for me. Left tons for others, because I know how disappointing it is to find empty shelves.
God Bless you and your care for others!!🙏🕊🙏
@@janied8831 Thank you, Janie. That made my day!
I Saw some in a store a few days ago and happily got them from the shelves 😂... everyone was looking at me like I was a mad woman🙈
Yes, me too. Hadn't seen lids for months!
and yet i still cant find 1 BOX!!!!=( good for u and your 20!!!!!!!
I’m so happy that you’re back Jessica!!!! We have been praying and thinking about you over here! Great video as always, you always have this amazingly eloquent way of explaining this type of discussion while teaching and helping us learn bout prepping and homesteading! Excited for more videos to come out
When Costco would put Charmin toilet paper on sale, we would always buy the limit, so when Covid 19 hit we were prepared. We did not have to panic buy. In fact we were able to help several other families.
Same here. I’ve always bought a few extra rolls/packages and wasn’t a part of the rush to get TP.
Just a thought here. We put in a bidet that hooks to the existing toilet. It saves on toilet paper.
Am so happy to see your sweet face this morning!! My mom was the daughter of a farmer and the baby of twelve in TX. She was a child of the Great Depression and it was so different listening to her story compared to my paternal grandma who dealt with it as a woman in OK. Both of them instilled in me that modern conveniences are nice but never have an electric item that you also don’t have a non-electric one as a back up. Better yet have propane instead of electric. My mom had a wood cook stove next to her propane stove in the kitchen and if the power went out we just lit the oil lamps and never though about not being able to cook a meal. I’ve had a wood cook stove just like hers for almost twenty years that will actually be installed this year. My preference is to cook in my fireplace but I feel it’s time to have the wood stove up for extra heat. There is great comfort in just following the Lords lead. A working pantry is worth its weight in gold and you teaching younger women how to obtain one is priceless! You stay in my prayers, it’s just one day at a time.
You approach to this and demeanor is so calming. I really truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for this layer of calm to this process for a new homesteader.
As bible believers, we believe in prophecy so we know hard times are ahead, it also helps us stay connected to our roots and creator, from the beginning on time they have always had well stocked food supplies 😀
I am so happy to see you back! I'm glad that things are getting easier, even if they will never get easy. Welcome back!
You have been on my heart Jessica and in my prayers, I am so very sorry for your loss. Our family have 6 little ones in Heaven also. May the God of all comfort surround you and wrap you with His precious peace, comfort and His great love! He is so faithful and I love to be reminded of His compassion and tenderness and great love, like in Psalm 56:8 where He tells us He collects our tears in His bottle and records each one in His book. God bless you Jessica and your whole family as you continue to seek and serve Jesus. Love from a sister in California.
I have felt the need to store and learn how to garden and can and prepare for many years. I don’t have a tv and seeing how much of this is going on even here on utube has just reinforced that the Father was guiding me in the right direction. I am a widow with grown children but I am working on my pantry that will help them and their families. This is not just for my home
said like a true Titus woman!
Would love a series on prepping and food storage! Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom. So good to see you again 😊
Jessica, you are a true blessing to this world 💖 You are so grounded and your grace truly inspires me. Thank you for sharing all that you do, and for being such an incredible mom, wife, and woman. Praying for continued healing for you and your family during this time 💖🙏✨ Your light shines bright! Many blessings to you and your wonderful family 💕
I dont comment much but always hit the thumbs up. I have learned a lot form you. Thank you.
It’s taken me a while to actually hit subscribe, I always look forward to your posts. I was a prepped/homesteader before we ever moved to our homestead! I’m so happy to see you raising your children the way you do. Faith, Family. I’m #6 of 8 children. now Mother of 5 adult children and so far six Grandchildren. I ALWAYS wanted to raise my children as you do. I’m about to turn 60 have been doing some sort of canning/freezing since I was 18. I still learn daily from you, Sarah and Kevin, and a few other Christians on TH-cam. May God continue to BLESS you and your family. I have total respect for your commitment to your beliefs and family. It’s fine that you broke down and explained to us why you were missing in action. Prayers for continued healing.✝️, Madolyn
God, I believe, led me back to watch this once again. Literally brought up this video, when I was watching something else at the time. God does work in mysterious ways sometimes. I'm leaving this comment to assure others that preparing is his wishes, but do so in a manner of providing food and not of fear. If we are supplying our families food and not allowing any waste, we are doing as we should. We shouldn't feel bad about providing food for our families or for other families in need. Be grateful, thankful and a blessing to others. God bless.
Oh I’m so glad to see you, missed y’all so much. Still praying for y’all
In early 2020 we got 2 bidets. Such a smart choice it has been. I keep our home well stocked at all times way before 2020. I think its just a smart thing for everyone to do. tfs 🥰🍂🍃🍁🦃🌬️🌛🧡💗✝️🥰🍂🍃🍁🦃🌬️🌛🧡💗✝️
please know you have been in my thoughts and prayers. little one will always be part of your family.
Thank you for the message. Very helpful keeping me on track with what God would have me do. You are a blessing.
Thank you! That was so needed here. You and your family are a blessing. Thank you for sharing your life and teaching. Praying for you all!
Love you and your family! You are truly a blessing to so many.❤️🙏
So glad to see you back! You have been in my prayers the last couple weeks. Thank you for your insight on the potential upcoming supply chain disruptions. I look forward to your videos.
Wow. Thank you so much! I have been praying so much about wisdom vs. anxiety. You put it perfectly. Thank you! You’re a blessing!
Glad to see you back, Jessica! Such a great topic. I’m really looking forward to hearing what you have to share about this new series! Continuing to send up prayers for healing for you and your family. God bless!
When it comes to preparing to provide for us; my husband says “he trusts my unction.”
We are Christians and we are trusting God to meet our needs as we follow His leading. God bless you and your family.
I understand you but Joseph also prepared for the difficult years ahead.
Someone else listens to Greg locke😉🙌💜
@@Vanessa-lima She didn’t say she doesn’t prepare. I took it to mean her husband trusts that she’s preparing well.
Being an offspring of parents who came of age during the Great Depression and World War II, I was not raised with a prepper or hoarder mindset but a provide for your needs. My parents realized that things can get tough due to rationing or shortages they experienced. Mom always froze veggies in the summer, not due to fear but due to the fact she wanted green beans, corn, peaches, etc. in the off season. We also ate in season and there was not as much long distance transportation of produce as we see today. We a simply as there was not the convenience food we see today. Also, at that time we were not bombarded by a 24 hour news cycle. We had Walter Cronkite. A problem I saw during the Covid 19 time was that people hoarded. I hope that the huge amounts of flour, dried beans, rice, and pasta have gone to use. Being only two people, we continued what we have always done have one extra of necessities on hand. A pound of rice will last us at leas 6 months, maybe a year. I cook from scratch so we have a very small well thought out pantry that sustained us during the shortages of Covid19 and then the anomaly snow storm (Austin, Texas) that once again sent people hoarding. Thank you for your video on how you prep and the thoughtful and sane way you go about making sure your family has what they need in any emergency. Joy Giles
Hi Jessica your so practical and smart. I’m tired of hearing stock up! I’m probably a little more stocked then normal but I’m not going to panic because if someone needs my help I’d gladly give what I have to others in need and trust in God to help us all through 😊....Peggy
Such a great point about wisdom over fear, and about lifestyle changes so we're less dependent on certain things. Thank you!
Its interesting that covid exposed how many people werent prepared in a time of crisis. Canning is somewhat of a lost skill. We live on 1.6 acres and thankfully, plenty of room for a decent veggie patch. 😃 we also have planter boxes hanging off our balcony. Due to my husband losing his job, our finances will be extreemely tight. And so im looking into canning. I have several boxes of the fowlers vercola jars. After i replace some lids and the water bath canner, i can get started. 😊
I APPRECIATE YOU! Thank you for these videos, they are so helpful for me and I know others too.... you are a blessing to us all...
Beautiful message. You are such an inspiration. God bless you!
Thank you for your dedication to share! Such great ideas! I tend to lean on both sides. A freeze dryer for long term storage and self sustaining animals that can continually reproduce. Thank you for being a blessing 🙌
Jessica, thanks for the sensible, grounded advice, bless you always.
So good to see you and hear that your doing better. Thank you so much for this timely wisdom. Blessings to you and your sweet family!!
Was happy to see your vlog again! Prayers for emotional healing ❣️
What a great video. I look forward to your new series. We have been living this way for quite a while but seeing it thru someone’s else’s eyes is very helpful thanks again
So good to see you !!! We have been praying for you all🙏🙏❤️
Sorry you already answered my question through the video before I saw it love it you’re ahead of the game girl
So happy you are well and back in the swing of things. I enjoy your videos. God bless your beautiful family.
I love following your real life! Thank you for sharing so much!
I'm so happy that you're feeling better. You've had many people praying for you, Jessica.
I loved your response to all the panic prepping going on. I too have been doing what I always do and am not stressed about the potential shortages. Thank you for being a voice of calm and reason.
The best advice I've seen out here! Thank you 💜
Welcome back. Continuing to pray for you and your family
Good to have you back. Hope you and your family are doing ok. I think it's great that you and your husband look at things from a different perspective. That way you cover more bases.
Thrilled your producing content again. You are such a blessing and your wisdom is beyond your years. Blessings to you young lady.
You ARE a blessing as you shared insight about the difference between fear-and-wisdom-driven preparation 💙
So happy to see a new video. Glad to see you back, Jessica!
Fellow Ohioan here and so happy I came apon your channel ❤ We just started our homesteading journey the beginning of 2020 (boy were my eyes opened) and feel like your speaking to me in this one! Thank you ❤
Ditto to all the wonderful comments! So nice to have you back. You’re in my prayers everyday 🙏🏻
I am so happy you are back. Missed all of your wisdom. Will continue to pray for you and your family.
Thank You! God Bless You Jessica!!! You have inspired me so much.
When your a mom of a large family, life doesn't just stop for you to catch up. Im sure you are taking some time for your healing and I know your husband and children are providing the love and support needed. I enjoyed this video. Im neither a homesteader or prepper, but good realistic points to think about.
Thank you Jessica! These are words of wisdom.😊
Very well said. Thanks for your wisdom.
Excellent video! Praying for y’all! 💛
You are so right when you said we should "never prepare out of fear, but prepare out of wisdom". That is so hard to get others to understand. Most want to wait until the last minute and then make the mad-dash out to grab and buy what's there, hoping something will be there to buy. They say they "do not" have the money buy now. How are they going to have the money then??? My husband and I share with our friends that they could just buy a few items at a time to put back and over time these things will build up, but they do not see it. All we can do is pray that people will open their eyes and ears before its too late. It was so nice seeing you again, I've been watching some of your older videos. Strill trying to get caught up with all of your content!!!! You make fantastic videos!!!!
After the issues with supplies during the Covid 19 days, one would think folks would have learned a lesson and gotten a few extra items as time passed rather than wipe out a supply in one swoop. And so it goes. JGiles
Bless you and your family. Glad to see you are back. Great advice. TFS
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU..much love to you and your family ❤️
Wonderful info, thanks for the insights. Love your storage system.
You always explain things, beautifully.
Great advice! Thank you for sharing! Hugs and love from Texas!
It was so good to see you back. Been thinking about how you were doing. God Bless and thank you for sharing you wisdom.
Thanks for this timely message. Working from faith is peaceful whereas working out of fear is defeating. You are a blessing to many in your sincere and thoughtful message.
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed it. Blessings
I’m so grateful to have advice about this from your spirit led point of view. Looking forward to the series.
Thank you, Jessica. I was just praying about that yesterday (preparing from fear vs. wisdom). For me, I go back to Y2K and evaluate what we did then, and consider what things we were able to use even when the potential crisis didn't come.
Would love to see that series ☺️. You're such a Blessing Jessica ❤️. Everyone stay safe and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra
Thank you for all you do. ❤🙏❤
Great video! I'm sitting here by my fireplace just relaxing and agreeing with all that your saying.
Great to see you again. I don't can much any more but I do watch my spending on what I need. Thanks again.
Thank you for those wise words of advice on this prepping "situation". I find myself getting very anxious when I see on youtube or the news about the shortages we may have! I will try to use wisdom in my thinking now!! Thank you.
Wonderful words Jessica!!!
Thank you so much for this video, god bless you for your generosity !
Nice to see you! I was thinking of exactly your topic today and what it meant
To me!!!
Thank you for the words of wisdom
Good to see you Jessica!
awesome video- needed to hear the part about anxiety at the end. thank you for that! 💗
Jessica, First, I am so happy that you decided to release a video. I have been praying for you and your family and I feel like I have been reconnected with an old friend. Second, thank you so much for your comments and insight. I love your observation about preparing out of Wisdom and that being anxious is not from a good place. I often read the news and get so angry and anxious, I know I need to go on a news fast and truly just trust in God! I am looking forward to more videos…God Bless You!
Hi. Ms. Jessica. I'm Phoenix az. We will have a h20 $increased started next year. I've seen utube videos of other countries whose rivers& dams are also drying up. This is alarming. I'm learning so much from your videos. I enjoy seeing your family helping & learning to be healthy. You r wise.
Such wisdom Jessica. Spot on . God bless.
🍁 I hear in your message, 'Simplicity'. Your values and priorities are set in stone. To me, these two traits are highly enviable by most of us out here, and for me CONTAGIOUS, I hope. Thank you so much for your relaxed, loving style, which obviously permeates throughout your sweet family.
Like I always say, "there is wisdom in being prepared".
Also, I've felt God leading me and my husband to not only be prepared with perishables, but also financially as well. No debt, which means no mortgage, credit cards, vehicles, etc. I'd love to see a video talking about how one should prepare themselves financially.
Blessings to you
You are definitely in my prayers! Very good advice, as always. I think if we feel fear and anxiety that is a great time to take it to God in prayer. Thanks for sharing!
God will always guide us, if we just ask of him. God bless.
I love your idea of making this topic a series.
There is stocking and storing. And there is self sufficiency. You can only buy until it's gone, but learning to continually provide is the way to go
Oh Jessica, that is so deep and hits the mark so much: preparing out of wisdom! Do not follow the mass in what is said to be a shortage and stock up on that. But first try to think around that. Try to find other solutions that make you less dependable on what might run out or might skyrocket in price. Love the way you and your family 'are doing life'! God bless
Thank you for allowing us in your life by teaching us and sharing your knowledge❤
I love that you are biblically principled... refreshing...
Learning a lot from you..
Good talk. I do both, grow, can and adding a bit each week to my pantry.
I prepare to be self sufficient and for needs & comfortable not for fear. I try also help others. We all need to carry on with day to day life. God has us.!
Great video. We are a blend. Really love your explanation for this. I love seeing some city folks finding ways to grow at least small amounts of things on their balcony, for example.
I love your mindset. Same here.
The preparing videos will be very welcome! Love God and love others is the ultimate was to serve Him. You are a blessing!
You and your family are gems Jessica, always happy to see your videos
I love your guidance on fear & wisdom. 💜🌹💜
Good to find this cause I am going to do alot more stuff than just going to the grocery store.
Such a fantastic point about not preparing out of fear. We aren't growing much at all here and doesn't look like i will be able to this season either but what I've always done even when I grew a lot of our own food was support local growers , veg & fruit, peanuts & legumes ,meat &milk& olive oils are are amazingly raised right near me ,a group gets together for bulk purchases of grains and fruit thats not quite local ,not to mention numerous vineyards with high quality products if I was interested. Our family has a fantastic connection to our food, its grown how i would grow it. The farmers are now our friends. Its the next best thing to home grown. Thank you for always being the calming voice of reason. I really appreciate you. Lots of prayers coming your way lovely 🥰
Hi there you were missed!! Glad your back, hope you are took some time for yourself!
Prayers for your family!!!!🤟
Well said. Agree.
