- We weren't sure how our visit to Heartiness Approach's new homestead in Missouri was going to go. But it wound up being the adventure of a lifetime that set deep bonds between our families.

My husband is an historical restoration contractor and in Old House terminology that is called a classic case of "TMF" ("The Mushroom Factor"). It's when you rip out one thing and then find out there's half a dozen hidden problems that have sprouted up practically overnight but in reality have been there for decades. And many times each of those half dozen items have "mushroomed" into other sundry problems.
What a HUGE BLESSING y'all we're helping them out like this. I pray that the Lord blesses you abundantly for your kindness!
Mushroom factor! Ha! That’s so appropriate and spot on. 😂
You all just blow me away. You are on a nation-wide tour to bless the other homesteaders. You're amazing. Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
You are our kind of people too. Oh Oh Oh we miss you. We teared up through most of it. We love you. Oh how we love you and your sweet sweet family. We torn out the part of the floor that Ben fell through and boarded it up for now. We had to get rid of the creepy crawlers. We will have to tell you about the joists in the living room. Yes will will be doing them over but we will just level the ones they have because they are newer and in good shape just put together really uneven. Counting the days until October. Did you get a campground?
We miss you so much too!! Everyday, we usually have a “at Jim and Rhenda’s” moment of memories with you. ❤️ We did get a spot at the campground and I can’t wait to see you in a few short weeks!!
As I listen to your kid's story I can not help but to see God's hand in everything that took place.... If you kids had not had the problems with the truck and everything and y'all had meant up with them at the time you had planned, then a year down the road when they were going to need your help y'all would not have been there...
Things happen in our lives for reasons unknown to us at the time, but further down the road it all works out because God has everything in our lives timed out and if we listen to HIM and follow HIS Direction everything works out not only to bless us, but for us to be able to bless others and y'all were a big blessing to them.
God knew they were going to need help and you had the skills, the knowledge, and the know how to help them. God also knew that your loving hearts would be willing to help them.
So I see how God put you where you needed to be at the right time. I love seeing God working that way people's lives...
Yes I truly believe that if we listen, God will put us where we needed at the right time.
In my 58 years of life so far I seen God do that in my life many times over. I have also scene where God put the right people in my life at the right time to help me through a situation...
You kids are blessed beyond measure and I love seeing it. Keep on sharing your story. I love watching your videos...
Be blessed.. BBE 👍 👍🤗 🤗🙏🙏😁
We feel exactly the same way! We talked so much about how the timing was just perfect. We have been so blessed on this trip, and are so thankful!
The Hollar Homestead ... I'm watching the videos of their side of the story now... LOL 😂 ♥️&🙏 🙏 😁👍 👍
you nailed it perfectly Bobby god's work
The older you get the more you appreciate help with heavy duty projects. Thank you for what you did. You truly made a difference! And you are teaching your kids to extend a hand of kindness! Great job!
We loved being able to jump in and help!
*Tears of Joy....* SO KIND what you did for Jim and Rhenda! SO WONDERFUL!!! My heart is touched.....
I can hear Jim and Rhenda Singing " wont you be my neighbor'. You are good people helping other good folks.
We would love to be their neighbor!!
Looks like you guys had a great time and built friendships for life.
We sure did!
Jim and Rhenda are such great people. We met them at the state fair meet up and met in passing at Baker Creek seed festival.
They are amazing!
...good folks .. helpin' good folks ☮️&❤️
Oh and we miss you guys .😢
We miss you too!!
It was all God's doing- orchestrating you all meeting up. He knew what Jim and Rhenda's needs were, and sent you all there to help out. What a community, God's family, Awesome!!! And it seems that Ben was in his "Happy Place", rolling up his sleeves and not afraid to get his hands dirty and not afraid of work. God knew Ben's needs and yours and the kids needs as well. How Awesome!!!
Yes!! That's exactly how we feel. We keep saying over and over again and we were SUPPOSED to meet them, even a year after missing the chance it worked out.
Amen to that!! :)
You two or so kind. Such a sweet thing to do, God Bless you
I am loving you guys more with each video. I watched as y'all blessed Heartiness Approach and thought of how awesome that was. I believe you blessed and were blessed. Looking forward to so much more from y'all. I can't wait till you find your homestead.
We felt so blessed by them!! They touched our hearts so deeply. ❤️
They have a beautiful spot
It’s even prettier in person!
Thanks for sharing that video. I had a smile on my face the whole time.
Thank you for watching (and smiling 😉)!
Just finished watching , what an ordeal. That was the proverbial "Snowball turning into an Avalanche "!
Haha yes it was!!
How cool is it that Gods blessing happen in unexpected ways?! Who knows what damage was being done or could have been done in future if you guys hadn't discovered it and what a extra blessing the people who had the knowledge and energy and time could commit yourselves to helping them. I don't believe things like that happen on accident.
Good job you two

I’ve lived in VA for over ten years from NH. I hope y’all travel through VA! They look like great people to visit with.
We are in VA now for the Homesteaders of America Conference! It's so beautiful.
Too awesome you guys rock..Did all that just to stay there wow. I bet they are pleased with you. "What are gonna do? Break their house." ROFL that was great... good healthy sarcasm ..I like how you guys sit back and recap..even with lack of footage..
What a great week, good memories to add to the rest, how did the boys like demo? Dollys are worth their weight in gold!
The boys had a blast!!
This video made my day! Thanks for sharing your journey. Rhonda
I love and look forward to your updates!
Sorry they come so slowly! Time for editing is sparse sometimes.
you guys are special I can’t get anyone to help without paying them
You guys did a great job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a blessed visit!
You guys are awesome !
You're catching on. Missouri is the place to be. We rock. And i'll offer free counciling services (if needed) for a year when you settle in. (A little pepper in the gumbo. As my Cajun friends say)
Thank you!! That’s so kind of you. ❤️
My favorite people all in one place. :) ~ethan
We just need you to be complete!!
morals from a turtle
Heard you guys are going to Maine. In NH there is a homestead ,Lumnuh Acres is their vlog name. Great Christan people. I watch them daily at 6am . Just a suggestion :)
Thank you! Hopefully we can get in touch.
and still do
So what your saying is.... "It's the turtles fault." Wait did I say, y'all rock.
Ha! Yes. We can blame the turtle! 😂
You know what the next time something goes wrong here, I am going to blame the turtle.
Oooh yes, can we make this a thing?!? “It’s the turtle’s fault.”
💖💖💖
I think that was how the Rhodes family felt about jim and Renda.
You can’t not LOVE Jim and Rhenda!
So..........was the milk good? LoL :-)
It was AMAZING!!
In one way I admire the way, you guys live. But on the other hand. I kinda think you are nuts. (No disrespect intended.) But I do wonder about this.
It’s ok, sometimes we think we’re nuts too lol! Traveling isn’t a long term thing, just until we find our new home.
Awww, Thank you so very much. For your kind response. From the bottom of my heart. I wish you all the very best of luck. As you travel around. I hope you will be safe. And be able to find the home you are looking for. I truly envy you. I traveled around as a young man. In a 1973 Dodge van. lol. I was a lot like you guys. But I was traveling with my job and living out of the van. But the world has changed so much. I ran into some very nice people. And few nuts also. But I got by. I wish you all the best. I will look forward to more videos. As you guys travel around the USA. Please be safe and extra careful out there. God bless you and your family. Your admirer, Tommy.
