Me: *crying my eyes out*
My husband: you're watching the Arkansas garden girl again, aren't you?
It’s therapy.
Same
🥺
You know what I love about your videos? Instead of click bait that promises something big and delivers nothing, you title your videos "Pruning Grass" and I think "oh, well, I'll watch it anyway, it's Jess." And I get filled up with inspiration and hope! You are such a well of wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing it with us ❤
Exactly!!
exactly true. I was thinking a similar thing.
I agree with this. I like videos that are truthful in their title. I just watched some of your content. Great stuff :)
I’m thinking “weeding wisdom” should become a regularly scheduled series this summer!?! Thank you for sharing your heart with us Jess! 💚... and Happy Anniversary!!!
Or “Weeds of Wisdom”
Love the idea!! She is a very powerful speaker to so many people.
Yes! That's such a great idea!
thats a great idea
I agree I hope you make this a regular thing this summer and way into the future. I really enjoy the talk and all the wisdom you have to offer. My I love your honest heart felt stories. Don't stop, don't apologize.
Yes her lasted video is just that. Weeding with wisdom! I absolutely loved it
Benjamin pruning the grass is a "wax on, wax off" moment. Which would make you the Mr. Miyagi of gardening.
Love this analogy!
Exactly what I was thinking. 😉
Right?! That's the perfect analogy.
This is what I thought of lol..
Love it!!
Jess - I love the times that you just talk and talk and express yourself. You are so gifted with sincere words and thoughts. Thank you.
Yes
I agree completely, I love her talks
Weeding with wisdom!
Do you have ANY idea how your channel inspires, promotes, encourages and sends this people REELING into the love of God for us? You are amazing Jess and we are so proud to get to know you in this season!!
Tell me I’m not the only one who burst into tears when Benjamin got to finally prune the tomatoes
I did too 😭😭😭
Same 😊💕
When she got choked up and turned the camera off that's when I burst into tears. She's amazing. Jess you are amazing ❣️
👋🏻
Yessss!!!! Little Benjamin!!!
I need a “This season I’m pruning the grass “ sticker so I can stick it on my mirror to remind me everyday I’m just practicing for when my prayers are answered . With the prices of land and houses blowing up, and my desire to get out of suburbia, the reality of having a mini homestead has been pushed a little further out of reach. I needed to hear this today 💗🌱🐓🦙
Thank you.
Or, just: "Pruning Grass" with some beautiful R&R graphics. I'd put it on my new car...and it would always remind me that I am not just in the waiting room- I'm learning and growing and readying for the next big (or small) thing!
@@elizabethmcdonald652 Second this! "Pruning the Grass" maybe with a kid-scribbled flower or tomato. Teaching my kids about gardening lights up my life.
This video should come with a tissue alert😭❤️
Honestly!!!
I was surprised to feel the tears well up.
Totally
Yes!
This comment was the trigger that made me lose it. I totally agree with you :)
Please don’t apologize for giving us a Word of encouragement based on God’s wisdom. Our world needs more of that! Thanks again!
Amen!
Amen Sister 🤗
😍😍
Yes, the world is hungry for Him!
Amen
we want a garden cookbook Jess pretty please!!
Yes please! ( not like you aren't busy enough) lol
Yeeeeeessss!!!
I’ve already named it The Refuge Cookbook. It simply MUST happen.
I’d buy that in a heartbeat. I’d love to learn to cook these fabulous meals she cooks for her family from her homestead
Thank you Jess for helping me turn my waiting room into a classroom. I’m living alone in an apartment, working as an attorney, growing veggies on my balcony, and getting ready to learn canning so that one day, when I have a family, I can feed my future children well!
"Maybe your dream is just to raise a healthy family because you weren't raised in one." That hit me hard 😪
Me too! I tried not to cry as I was cooking dinner for my family.
Same!
Got the feels on that one...
Damn onions...
That was my first big dream. I told God that if I got only one that would de the one.
“You never know what you are being prepared for.” gave me goosebumps in the best way. Thank you for the inspiration to keep learning, always.
Same!
This is so Biblical, most of the people in the Bible didn’t get to have the full picture of what was ahead of them.
I paused this video and just stopped and stared and thought several times. I've been thinking so much about what I'm supposed to do next in my life, and this is just exactly what I needed. Thanks for listening to the Spirit and sharing a message from the heart.
I love the way you minister without being all “God up in your face”. I seriously get more out of these chats than going to church and having “religion” pounded into my head. I’m 56, have struggled getting close to my higher power, never had a dream before. My heart is changing, I pray not too little too late. I do hope you’ll write a “daily devotional for the gardener” someday. What a beautiful way to start each day! 💙
Oh my gosh, love this idea.
This was exactly what I needed to hear. It seems like every time I start feeling like what I want so badly will never happen, Jess has a way of beautifully and gracefully filling me with hope and determination again. Thank you for that. God bless you.
I was literally performing a “pruning the grass” type task, and questioning myself about it. I turned this on for some company... truly a godsend, this girl is!
This video felt like you were sitting across from me like a good friend giving me the best advice I could ask for. I am in the situation of impatience waiting for my dreams to happen. This has given me so much encouragement to start teaching myself. I don't need to wait for my dream to happen in order to teach myself about homesteading, etc. Thank you!!!
Gotta turn that waiting room into a classroom. You don't need to have it all to start now. A simple small planter or 2 with a veggie.
You are wise beyond your years....and so generous to share your heart. I wish everyone had a friend like you....and a pray you have a grand friend to encourage, teach, and uplift you. WHAT A HEART YOU HAVE.
You are a gifted teacher. When you said "you're going to have stuff die" you saw my heart. Recently I've had the realization that I am living my retirement with great abundance knowing life is a gift. Having been through great loss has taught me that how I live this life now, without my wife, is somehow a compliment to the great love we share and shared. In some way that's very difficult to explain, the zeal I have now, after her death, reflects our long life together. Thank you for your daily vlogs. I'm sure they are demanding but you'll never know how much I appreciate them. God bless.
Seven years is the perfect number for moving on to the next step. I don't know you personally, but I feel proud for you and for what God has brought about in your life. You are a gifted teacher ❤️
Jess, you have such a way with words, that I have never heard before 😌 I love your style of gardening and you philosophy on things like this, and you have no idea how much of a refreshment your videos are to my days and honestly on TH-cam (not that my days are horrible).
She's an absolute treasure, isn't she? "pruning the grass". What a meaningful anecdote to share, so impactful for me personally. Have a wonderful day Leyla!
Hearing your gratefulness and your happiness and pure joy about getting your dream and worshiping in your chicken coup has me 😭😭😭. Thank you for reminding us all to be grateful at every moment of every season. And for the reminder that God hears and wants so much more for us than we can even dream about at times. ❤️
I've heard you talk about growing up poor and that feeling of wait for the other shoe to drop. I'm not sure I'll ever get away from that.
I've found myself in a position where I don't have to worry anymore. I frankly don't know how to handle it.
Watching your videos together has given me the chance to talk to my wife about it. It a little bit easier.
Thank you
About to move out of our condo to an acre outside of the city. Been praying and waiting for it for many many years. Our living room has been our classroom. Thank you Jess 😭🙏🏻
I miss your devotionals. Shared them with friends before, with tears running down my face. They are a blessing. They're for whom they're for and can only exclude those who wish to be excluded. Thank you and bless you and yours Jess, in Jesus name. 💜
Well said!! So much more eloquent than I ❤️
“BECOME” Amen, Jess! This is exactly how you have spoken into my life. I’ve come to LOVE my classroom because a dream is a journey and I want the responsibility/weight to unfold in a sustainable and joyful way. Blessings, a always, to you!!
I adore you, Jess. I adore your wisdom, insight, and ability to express things that I feel but unable to express myself. God bless you sweet girl.
I walk away from your videos with a smile on my face and my heart lifted. Doesn’t matter to me what you talk about.
NEXT WEEK!!! I'M NOT PREPARED!!! But also I'm super excited! Also, I have so much edging that needs to be done. If Ben misses that work, I'm not opposed to child labor in the garden. I'll pay him in legos.
I thought people had kids for this exact purpose. 🤷🏼♀️😂
@@melissasullivan1658 that’s my parents always told me. “That’s what we had you for.”
Anyone else tear up on pruning the grass?!?! Oh, how I'm in that stage right now.
......for "those with ears to hear" this message is a masterpiece.
I'm crying. I so needed this today. My husband and I dream of having a homestead in collaboration with a few other like-minded people to grow our own food and reclaim the idea of a supportive village. And where we can have young (or even not so young) mothers who are in a difficult place come and have a safe place to live and grow in their motherhood and in life in general. But between my husband's chronic health conditions, and the fact that, in the state we're in now, we can currently only afford about a quarter of an acre, it often seems totally impossible. Your story gives me so much hope that God can do anything, and that he gives us dreams for a reason. So thank you for sharing today ❤️
This video was absolutely beautiful! How you opened up and shared the realness of dreaming and achieving those dreams. Each step in life truly does have a "waiting room". How to live life to the fullest by turning that waiting room into a classroom. The image of Ben and the grass is beautiful. Learning the little steps before taking on those the big steps. Thank you for sharing! You're so lovely and such a wonderful mom!
Your transparency is admirable! Yes, homesteading with a bunch of little ones has it's tricky moments...often. But how AMAZING and humbling to be the one to teach them all your special skills!
We have an almost 6 year old obsessed with our loppers. He just wants to use them for all our trimming needs, but he's learned over the years to have respect for tools and and our animals. Our 4 year old is a free spirited gal who just loves to get her hands in the dirt because it's fun. Our 17 month old is always testing the palatability of our homegrown goodness. YUM. All of them want to be outside all the time. Toys just aren't their thing and I couldn't be more proud they choose experience and exploration instead.
You're inspirational and what a treat for all of us to follow you in your journey. Thanks for taking us along!
This video should be labeled 'Garden parables for Life: at 10:40 or middle you are so encouraging about gardening but also living life... We make mistakes, things die... I'm crying... I really love what an amazing soul you are. I am truly blessed by your knowledge every day. Thank you and your sweet family for all you do, for all of us.
I love that Ben loving pruning ended up him being able to actually help with pruning because the way you encouraged him to prune the grass...but also taught him how to prune tomatoes. You didn't just brush him off. Which is such an easy thing to do as a parent just wanting to get a job done.
I'm living in an apartment and waiting for my chance at a homestead. I always think of you saying "turn your waiting room into a classroom" when I'm working on skills and thinking "does it really matter if I do this now when I can't do everything the way I want to just yet?" Your voice pops into my head reminding me I am in my classroom phase. Thank you.
I was going to comment on how inspirational you always are but, it's been covered. All I could do was go through and hit the 👍🏻on all of the comments that stated my own thoughts in a much more eloquent way.
Thank you Jess and thank you to.all the other loving and inspiring folks here participating in this place of growth with me!💖
I cried at least three times listening to this vlog while potting up cups of neglected and crowded tomato seedlings while my kids slept. I've been struggling with postpartum depression and avoiding this task due to overwhelm, but watched 5 of your vlogs today and was able to work up the inspiration and energy to just start on the task. So thank you, Jess. You are the reason I fell in love with gardening and continue being brave in growing even when I feel clueless. I appreciate you ❤
For someone so young, your words are old soul style. Thank you.
There are so many of your videos that touch my heart but this one? This one touched my soul. I can’t thank you enough for that. I’ll gladly listen to any talks you want to have while you’re weeding. God bless you, Jess.
Such wisdom. I am 60 years old and you always encourage and spur me on to dream. Not only that but to believe that they will come true. I can only imagine how God will use your wisdom and sweet willing heart.
This message really moved me. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. We are a military family, and we move so much, my heart aches for the day that we can have a forever home to call our own. We just moved to Germany 6 months ago and will be here a total of three years. I am lucky to have a great yard, and I’m starting my first ever vegetable garden with the help of my lovely neighbor who is guiding me. I have already learned so much in the past few months. This is my classroom time. I can learn and learn, and then when we get back to America I can learn some more until the time comes for my husband to retire in several years. We still have no idea where we want to live when he gets out, but we have time to think about it. All I want is a little bit of land to call our own.
Times are hard so far away from family and friends with three kids that I homeschool in the middle of a pandemic. It’s so nice to have your channel to come to, so I can hear encouraging words and dream about what our life will be like once we can finally settle down somewhere and have our little homestead. In the meantime, I’m making the best of what I’ve been given in this moment and learning all I can and experimenting ❤️
Jess, you took my breath away. I was so enthralled by every thing that you said today; I laughed and cried. You are so very special and I'm so grateful to have found you. Hugs to you and your lovely family:)
Earlier I literally went back to watch the lemon balm/honey medicine video when you were letting Ben prune the grass💚
I was doing exactly the same, then saw a new video upload, and had a bit of a surprise to see the "prune the grass" reference again. It was kismet.
Wow, you are so inspiring. Even at 70 you are teaching me. I thank God for you.❤️
These devotions honestly bring me to tears and give me so much hope. I’m praying for you all. Thank you for all your content, it is truly amazing and inspiring!
I can't help but fixate on the fact that you have been there for *7* years .... And now, 7 years in, is when the next step unfolds for you. That just makes me smile 😊 x
😳😳anyone ever been super giddy to click on a video not realizing it was about to stop you in your tracks and smack you in the face with wisdom at the exact right moment! Sweet Jessica Sowards-your words are always so lovely. But your obedience to allow Gods words to speak through you and to be vulnerable is extraordinary. Thank you for the work you do. The cuts in the video, the movements of camera angles, the times you pressed through emotion- you legit just gave a sermon that I was not prepared for! Whatever classroom God is teaching and preparing you for, I will be registering for the front row when you get there! You are precious and loved and so so so appreciated.
Paige, thank you ♥️😭🥰
Tears! Could you be a more beautiful soul Jess?! This video has me in tears. Such a beautiful & deep message (to me).
Thank you for being the amazing, wonderful you and sharing.
Thank you for pouring your beautiful heart out over your beautiful garden. I so look forward to these talks.
I’m sure you are such an encouragement to so many including my old lady self. I love a devoted devotional teacher. Keep bringing the real content that the Lord puts on your heart. God bless you and your family!
Isn’t it so spiritually stirring that God satiates our yearnings with his wisdom through others? He hears that we have a need and he uses others to fill it. It’s so beautiful.
GURL!!! I don't cry often. I consider myself a tough & almost calloused soul but your devotional videos has broken me to an ugly, sobbing mess a few times! 😍 you have just a blessed soul & have a way of getting the message across! Thx for sharing your time & life with us 🥰
Jess, this brought me to tears. I feel so connected to you through this channel. You are an amazing communicator. Last year I binge watched all of your videos, and yesterday I had the thought “I need to go back and find her devotional videos”. So this was perfect timing. ❤️ God knows what he’s doing when he speaks through you!!
NEVER stop sharing your heart. You blessed me and my wife tonight with this video. We are in a huge waiting/classroom.
I'm 62 and still have the dream of a small farm and garden! I garden a lot on our small patio in a condo. It makes me so happy!
That felt like a Ted Talk! Homesteading is not a dream of mine, but your story and insight was really uplifting. You have a beautiful soul and it shines through the videos.
Oh Jessica!
These talks are my favorite times on your channel. Pruning grass may be my favorite story ever that you’ve told. You might not have known at the time, but it was a divinely designed unfolding of events.
Now I can imagine your son telling his own children that story one day after he teaches them how to prune grass!
Thank you for sharing your heart. I'm 73, and waiting for my NEXT dream to be fulfilled, and I know it will be. 🌹🌹🌹
Jess If I could like this a million times I would. You are so insightful, heartfelt, genuine and articulate. Thank you for speaking to my heart as well. I will be watching this vlog again and again. Chris
😭😭 Thank you so much for this video. I cried the whole time. The things you said just spoke to me heart. I have always wanted to have a place to call my own to grow food and for the past 5 years I’ve had a strong desire to move to NC just thought, “but it will probably never happen”. I will be 61 this yr and the possibility of moving at times get very dim, but after today’s video I feel that there a possibility for this to happen. That I just have more waiting to do. I will say from watching your videos my garden is the best it has ever been, so I am very thankful for you and all your words of encouragement. I will be be patient and do more learning and my time to move will come. Thanks again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕🧑🌾🌱
I’m a student pastor and my wife and I dream of homesteading. Started out first garden this year after buying our first house in Nashville. She started making sourdough bread and using cast iron more. We will be canning this season as well. This video spoke to me, I want to reverberate what you said at the end back to you. I am believing God for your next season and for ours as well. Thanks for the video Jess.
Yep... crying in my bathtub listening to this beautiful message. Thank you Jess
Please don't be sorry for "turning it into a devotional style vlog" because it's actually the very reason you are here with us today. It's refreshing to hear you speak like that again. Gods hand has been over your dreams since childhood, putting everything in place for such a time as this... I miss your devotionals in the garden. I hope you bring them back again.
"Don't Stop Believing" ~ Journey. How appropriate! Thanks, Jess! God bless you!
We are in that classroom cutting grass on the precipice of listing this almost 70 year old northern California girl’s homestead of nearly 25 years to move (it feels like half way around the world) to an alien environment and way of life to lower eastern Alabama. What is in store for us is both scary and exciting. Can’t wait to get going and at the same time apprehensive about leaving all we have built to someone who may not love it as dearly as we. We are moving to be nearly family and support each one. I want to continue to nurture my deep love of gardening and manage life’s challenges as God opens His doors for us. The unknown is tough, but I want to grow in my new classroom and begin trim pruning & nurturing our new garden. Please pray for us that we’ll be good stewards of Gods provisions in what comes next. Thank you Jessica for sharing this vlog, it really means a lot and is soooo timely.
Your love for what you do is contagious.
Love all your garden updates. I need to get your little weed tool. Creating content and posting it is for me. Also have with homeschooling 6 kids , planting, taking care of farm animals, and more. Sometimes it overwhelming to even get to a video posted. 🌻❤️ love y’all.
I can relate to the season of waiting and learning. I feel God has put on my heart to learn the old ways turning back to basics at age 60!!! I am learning and growing closer to Him through this journey. Learning and reading about foraging using herbs for medicine. I have had a career, raised 4 children, became a nurse worked at a hospital for almost 20 years. Since 2009 I have been free to work part time and learn so much. I'm still growing and very grateful for the life God has given me. You are a great teacher and motivational speaker. Keep it up.
I began watching your channel shortly after you uploaded “How to grow the best tomatoes” because I wanted to help my Dad garden. I’ve been watching every video since then. Your passion, profound wisdom, love of the garden, your family, and your animals, has inspired me to realize my dream is much more than helping my dad grow the best tomatoes. I purchased my first home last October and have been learning as much as I can about homesteading. Monday, I will be putting in a large garden (probably more than I can handle but I’m eagerly looking forward to the learning experience) and I will be getting chickens within a few months. I feel like I would not have found my dream had I not clicked on that video a couple years ago and I am forever grateful for that. You and your family are a blessing and I pray all of your dreams become reality and infinitely more than you could imagine!
Don't be sorry for speaking about your dreams. I love listening to you talk about the classroom, and throwing a little bit of God into it. I am excited for you for the next season of your life.
Thank you for this. It seems so timely as I just watch you "seedling" devotional last night when my thoughts were running from my head in this season of waiting and preparing. Just a reminder that God is good and has the best plan and I need more patience and to continue to dream big and believe
As Christians, we know our testimonies aren't for us, but for others. Thank you for giving yours. It was an absolute, timely blessing. Also, professing your next steps without knowing how you will achieve them is a show of faith. More importantly, God will get the glory when you accomplish them... giving you yet another testimony. Thank you for sharing and being transparent. Keeping you in prayer.
This reminds me of something I once read about battle horses. Battle horses prior to battle were exposed to sounds, scenes and environments similar to the ones they might hear during real battles, this way when the horses do go for battle they’re not startled into chaos. Your waiting room really is a classroom, preparing you for the real thing ahead!
Honestly Jess, the devotional style chats you have with us is my favorite. I get it more when it comes from the heart and from God’s plan for our lives if only we just stop “be still” and listen. Your words just made my heart sing. Thank you and I’m so excitedly see where the future of Roots and Refuge and to follow all the travels and adventures. God bless. 🙏❤️
Every single word that you say, every thought that you share from your heart is loved, appreciated, and absorbed like a sponge. I personally thank the Lord for your testimony every day....💙💚🙏🥰
This came just in time. I needed to hear this! God works in mysterious ways. I was just praying about this.
Thank you Jess. I very much enjoyed my time in your classroom today.
Wow Jess, thank you! I mean that sincerely. I wasn’t sure where you were going but when I realized it, the light bulb went off. You do inspire so many of us, not just in the garden but with our walk in life and our walk with the Father. I’m excited to see where this road takes you and where it takes me. Bless you and your precious family..
I'm selling my home, moving to Cancun buying a Bed and Breakfast 300' from the beach and starting a youtube channel to empower women to be the best version of themselves that they want to be. Your message today was very timely in my life, so thank you very much 🙏🥰
I am doing exactly what u had described. Looking at land, its depressing getting told I dont qualify for a home loan. I'm learning how to garden and dreaming about an acre ish.
Such a beautiful heart felt message today, Jess. Thank you so much! I follow your lead and mantra of turning your waiting room in to a classroom. It speaks to me loudly. Bless your heart for it all.
Jess - you are SUCH a great teacher, motivator, inspirational speaker, communicator- you truly have a gift and we are so thankful you continue to use your waiting room as a classroom, and then sharing that learning with us. We appreciate you!!
Definitely felt this was for me, I feel the spirit over this message so much I can't stop crying. My waiting room lead me into fasting for Jesus, and ever since, my life has completely changed. I learned that if you need an answer from the Lord about anything it is guaranteed he will answer you if you fast about it.The blood of Jesus on you and your family💕
I love the story about Ben and the grass being pruned and it preparing him for a purpose greater than the intended one. I’m really trying to work on patience in my own life at mo, so this example just may help me on the more challenging days. Thank you 😊
Dear Lord... I do love you. Thanks for making me cry. Such a beautiful young lady with amazing wisdom.
Yup... This made me emotional 💜 I'm living in an apartment and can only grow so much on my patio...but I'm learning soo much! Thank God for this time of preparation 🙏🌱
Hit me hard!! been praying for a while now! My husband and I came out of a huge heroin and everything that come with that 6 years ago February. I began to learn about things I should have already known, even small stuff like my favorite color. God seriously made me into a Worship Pastor and director over REwired a recovery ministry, it all blew my mind! This was a WORD for me! We are currently in our classroom in waiting! Thank you Jess! God moves through you more then I think you realize. My fulfillment is coming! So is yours!
"Its as good a time as ever for us to have a little chat."
* Feels Scolded *
🤣🤣🤣
Your testimony is so profound Jess, you have taught me to be patient in God's waiting room. Until your next post, God Bless!!
The best time spent with God is spent weeding the gardens of your life! So Jess keep weeding the gardens of your life, spending time with God and dreaming big! Bless you for being faithful and sharing with all of us!
God gave you an amazing heart. I appreciate you sharing it. Your words are a blessing to me. Thank you Jess
I stumbled upon your channel a while back and just want to say what an amazing individual you are! I use to garden years ago and after having my life completely uprooted by a cancer diagnosis I wanted to get back to a more peaceful way of living. This video is exactly what I needed today! Thank you for always being such a positive light and inspiration to others.
You have so much more to teach us than gardening and homesteading. I first came to your channel because of a devotional video you did. I stayed because your faith is evident in everything you do and occasionally, like today, it fully shines out. Thank you for sharing and for caring about the many people watching. One day God will show you how many lives you touched and were a blessing to. 🙏☺️💖
Sweet soul, you will never know what a gift this was to me. Thank you. THANK YOU.
I needed to hear this. I've been doing a lot of pruning the grass and I didn't realize how important it is. Thank you!
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
I wrote down... "Am i being prepared for something?" Makes me think hard. We are in that waiting stage of change. And you are so right...it can be hard.
Thank you for your words! I sat and cried through this...God always has perfect timing!! Thank you for being obedience in letting God speak through you. Blessing on you and your family!
