For those of you still waiting and praying to see your farm dream come true, here is a word of encouragement for this season. I occasionally share these kinds of thoughts from my Instagram and wanted to make these thoughts available here as well so that perhaps someone else could be encouraged. It is my sincere hope in sharing my heart in this way that it reaches who it is meant for!

This is completely where I'm at in my life! God has sent your channel my way when I most needed it. It has given me hope that even though I cant see the end of the tunnel to know that God is the light waiting for me.
God is really speaking to me through your channel today ❤️
I’m the ears that needed to hear this. So beautifully spoken
I needed this message today. THANK YOU!!!
Pray for me Jess…..
Thank you. Amen! I so appreciate you sharing your heart. You have no idea how much this has blessed me this morning. I really REALLY needed to hear this encouragement. Don't stop what you do. You are such an inspiration and I couldn't be more blessed by your obedience to share like this. God is so good!
Exactly what I needed tonight Jes. Having a very rough night tonight and hopped on youtube because your channel is a godsend for me, and came across this. You just read my heart. Much love
Thank you, I needed to hear this.
Three years later and this video is still reaching and greatly impacting the hearts of those that need to hear these words… I watched a video where you mentioned your pruning the grass video recently, searched for and watched it, and from there I have been daily watching your garden devotionals, and I can't describe the way these have impacted my outlook on life, daring to dream and enjoying the wait… Bless your heart girl!
Jessica, I find it only fitting that the last of your devotionals for me to watch was your first, and that I am watching as you pack up this beautiful farm to move to one even more amazing that can now also bless Jeremiah in his dreams of building his family their forever home and having cattle. I pray that through this crazy current season you are able to savor each and every moment for the abounding blessing God is pouring out over you.
@rootsandrefugefarm I'm still in my waiting room so I come back to this video on occasion but as I watch it this time I think you need these words as much as I do. I hope you know I'm still praying and rooting for you and your sweet family ❤ yall have changed my life in so many ways. I couldnt even begin to type them all but I pray you know your truly doing God's work. I appreciate you more than words could ever express. So thank you for all that you do! Don't ever let your sparkle go out!
I was looking for your video where you grew green beans in a green stalk, instead God lead me to this. I know exactly why. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. We’re always to be present in the present, and His will and His timing are the most important factor.
Such wisdom in this! Oh my! The Lord has surely blessed you, He's not only grown your dream to fruition, grown your garden(s) to provide for your family, but He's also grown YOU. It's so evident in these devotions. I appreciate you sharing with the rest of us, because now the spiritual multiplication of seeds can also take place. Bless you, dear one!
Peace, Jess. Many Thanks for sharing your encouraging message. I Am seeing it for the first time today; but your words echo my feelings for the past 32 years. I needed to hear this right now, as I hold steadfast to principles & virtues that seem foreign to many in my poor neighborhood. I decided just yesterday to stay on the high road, no matter what stressors try to hinder my progress. Mad Respect & Much Love!
I SO needed to here this today sister. I just discovered these older devotional videos of yours and am grateful. I felt your heart.
Absolutely love this and agree with what you're saying! Thanks for the reminder~
This was so encouraging. I’m a dreamer and want this life but it is not the time for me and my family right now. So for now, I’m gonna learn all I can so that in my future I’m able to fulfill this dream and desire.
Thank you
I've watched this video again and again. I appreciate you posting this because it gives me hope, restores my faith and fuels the fire inside me to drive towards MY dreams coming true! I am in such a strange place of waiting right now. Without revealing the details of our lives too much I will say this… My dream is literally at my fingertips, but my instinct is telling me that the situation is not right. My instinct is telling me not to pursue this in this place and time. I have faith that God will help me achieve my goals and my dreams, and I believe that my family will experience the joy and blissfulness of our farm expanding. But I can not ignore my gut feelings that this timing and situation is not the right thing! I pray for help getting through this confusing time. I appreciate your channel more and more on a daily basis. When I feel confused, frustrated, or just exhausted like you speak of in this video, I turn to your videos! I am so grateful to have this space to come and realign my life and my heart! Your garden tours bring me back to excitement and wonder! Your devotionals remind me of the faith that I have in life and my path, and the faith I have in God, especially not growing up in a religious family. Thank you Jess!!!!
Thank you Jess, God Bless.
My family and I are in this season now! Thank you for your obedience in making this video. I’m seeing this 3 years later but it is right for the season my family and I are standing in now.
