About Us
Welcome to Journaling with Jody!
So glad you stopped by!
I started this blog to track our journey into living a more simplified, natural, faith-based, family-centered life. My goal is to help others make similar life adjustments more easily than we were able to and to offer an abundance of resources for your own journey!
Many things in our life are unsettled right now, like what we want to be when we grow up!, but we definitely agree and believe from years of experience in working as teachers and mentors that we desire to be the primary influences in our children's lives.
SO, we run a family business from our home, Tony teaches, and I home school all four children. We run a whole foods kitchen in our home which gets almost everyone involved, making nearly everything from scratch...a practice we hope to turn into a family legacy and a small self-sustaining farm someday.
Our journey to this point has been a whirlwind of crazy life, ups and downs, joys and heartbreaks. We've had marriage, financial, health, and identity struggles that would make your hair curl, but, through the grace and guidance of God, we have seen so much victory in every one of these areas of life. We are no longer the same people we were 14 years ago -- we have been molded, sculpted, and formed into brand new lovers of Jesus, life, and each other. Chaos has transformed into peace, and we are so thankful.
My prayer for you today is that you will find a word of encouragement, hope for your future, or a piece of helpful advice that will add strength and light for your own journey. Blessings and peace be with you!
