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.

While I enjoy your posts every day, I think you really went out on a limb there to leave such a lengthy and detailed comment.
Some people might not understand things the way you do. I don't know.
But anyway, nice find!
I think your comment will be appreciated by that blogger. I was rather blown away by both his blog entry and your reply. And I was prompted to read more of his blog, and I bookmarked it for further reading. There are more entries besides the one you replied to that cause you to think, and he is an excellent poet as well.
I only recently began reading your blog. I think I followed a link to it when reading a reply you wrote on Sheye Rosemeyer's blog. It's funny how one link leads to another to another. The first blogs I read were scrapbooking-related, but so many links on scrapbookers' sites point to others that are artistic or inspirational.
I basically just want to say that I enjoy your blog, and I enjoyed this post today.
Hi Jody!
Ever since i've visited your blog the first time (long time ago) i always think about you and your family, and the tragedy you had to overcome! Just want to thank you for being an inspiration to others!
take care

great post by jason and great reply by you :)
i occasionally read jason's blog, too. we used to attend his church (in lowell, mi). he's a great speaker and musician. i always left church on sundays with plenty to think about.
You did ask if we wanted to think. I just didn't realize how in depth you meant! Thanks for this link. A good read. As someone else put it here- both his AND yours. I appreciate that you encourage others through blogging. Myself included. A faithful reader...
I too enjoyed reading both his entry and your reply.I have been reading your blog for a few months,but have never commented.Your story and the joy you have in the "everyday" things is so inspirational to me.Your faith is such an encouragement to so many people!!I feel like I know your family...I am also enjoying SISTV!

That was awesome! And so was your comment that you left for him.
I thought it was interesting because I know the guy (Micah) whom he was sitting and talking with that day. He used to be the worship leader at my church (Central Wesleyan) until he and a few other families from CW decided to branch off and start their own small church, engedi. It was a calling they followed that has proven to be a huge blessing to the community! Small world. :)
Thank you so much for your honesty and willingness to share.
It was great brain food.
