About Me
- Jody
- Hi. I am a wife and mother of 7- six of them are at home and underfoot, one is in Heaven and they have all captured my heart! I am 42, but feel like I have lived through more than some people do in a lifetime. I have definitely had some rough spots...but have challenged myself to not let those events consume or define me. I try to look at life in a positive light...and most often that means I look to God for the strength to do so. He is the source of my joy and happiness in life- even in the midst of chaos at times. Ultimately I hope to live a life that inspires or challenges other people to be their best. Kind of like a "white Oprah." I mean that with deep respect.

I really enjoyed looking at the pages that you posted since Christmas. It was sentimental for me to see those dressed that Teagan once wore. Nice too.
As for the pic of Ava and the fact that you didn't win the competition. I think it is because you didn't have a picture of Grandma Karen pulling out her hair as part of the picture. I still tell my friends about folding all of those clothes and then seeing that picture.
Thanks again for all of the great pics.
Hi Jody,
I am so sorry for your loss, I have two boys, 14 and 12, and love them with all my heart! I just been to your website, and my heart went out to you and your family.
My Dad and my Mom lost both my brothers 6 months apart, aged 22 and 18, and it changed my Mom completely. Only since I have my own children can I remotely try to understand the grief of losing a child. I am so glad that you have strong faith in God, and I want to leave you with this verse:
Isaiah 43 :2,3
When you pass through the water, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you,
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour!
Please read the rest of this chapter, the Lord gave my Mom verse 2 after my oldest brother died in a horrible car crash, his car burned out completely with him still inside.
Love to hear from you
regards
karin
