Gurl this is everything! Thanks for that vulnerability and truth! You explained Christianity so well.. you explained suffering in a sinful world in the midst of a merciful, compassionate Savior so well! Whew chile you took me to church lol thank you for being so fearless. I’m praying for your continued growth. You’re very inspirational and I know your dad is so proud.♥️🫶🏾🙌🏾

Love you Joy 🤍 You’re such a light of Jesus-hearing your faith journey helps strengthen mine

Thank you so much for being real and sharing your testimony!! I love your channel! We don’t always know why things happen but we do know that Jesus always loves us God bless you for being brave and standing up for the gospel! ❤

Oh Joy your truly amazing woman. I have a rough life growing up my faith keeps me going. Please keeps doing this kind of videos. You inspired me🤗🤗🤗keep growing 💖

I’m a plant person as well; and I like your Chanel better than most because it’s real. Sometimes you see videos and the plants just don’t give you instructions much less hope that mine will ever compare. I was glad to hear your testimony of your faith. Thank you

I’ve watched you for awhile now but don’t think I’ve ever commented. I’m normally just a silent watcher and supporter ♥️ but I had to comment and say thank you for sharing your heart with us and such a hard time in your life, your testimony ♥️ keep growing Joy 😘♥️🥰

OMG you make me cry 😫 i love that you share your testimony...

Was not expecting to click on this video and cry 🥲😂😭❤️ joy, thank you so much for being open and vulnerable and sharing your story with us. I loved hearing about your faith, your journey with God and yourself. I, too, went through a very challenging time in my life where it brought me closer to God and this is one of my favorite verses ever (and it still gets me through hard times today) Pslam 71:20 20 Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. I even have a cross on my arm tattooed with that verse 🥹 Whenever I’m feeling really low, I know that I’m never truly alone and that I can always put my trust in Him. ❤ Again, I loved this video 🥺 I look forward to more of your Q&A’s to get to know you more and more 💕 you are such a beautiful person.

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing and for your wise words! It really hit home. I lost my Dad 56 years ago. He was 49 and I had just turned 13. He was sick with cancer most of my life. I still miss him. I grew up in church, but actually became a Christian (a relationship with Jesus) at 40. Took me a minute. lol You are amazing.

Thank you for sharing your testimony🙏 I lost my dad 3 months ago which has been hard but we do get our strength and comfort from God!! Jesus is the way 😊 Stay blessed!

I don’t know how I didn’t know you were from Ohio! I am too. My husband is from the Cleveland area but we are now in southern OH. Love it! Also this video gave me e motivation to repot some plants I’ve been avoiding lol

I’m bawling. Thank you for sharing your testimony

I absolutely love this video and that you shared the gospel, I pray that many come to Christ through this video 🥰

Joy!!!!!!! You are not shy anymore .. and you cut your hair!!!! You take after your mom with planting ❤️🍑🌷🍑Miss you my love

Thank you for your testimony & vulnerability, Joy! I was blessed & I absolutely loved your compost analogy! God bless you & I know both your earthly & Heavenly fathers are so proud of you 😍 Romans 8:28 🩷

Thank you for getting so personal i also have great faith and my mother got C Melanoma and she fought but it took her from me and its so hard!!! Ssoooo hard we never really heal from it its so tramatic but anywho wht im saying is thanks im crying with you! Big hugs an keep up the faith prayers for healing!

AAH FRIEREN. I love Frieren so much ❤️😭 such an endearing and impactful anime. A real masterpiece 💯

❤❤❤ Keep Growing Joy!

I came for the plants, but stayed for the Sermon❤❤❤.

I listened to Fairy Tale and enjoyed it. It very much is 3 separate stories packed into one book. And there's chatter that it's going to be a movie or mini series. A book a SUPER recommend is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. The voice actress is TOP NOTCH with her interpretation. I finished it months ago and cannot get it out of my head. Dang Joy! I didn't expect to cry during today's video. Thank you for being so open! Clay giving you a hug. 😭

Beautiful. Compost....dead decay that brings new life. Jesus is this for us!!! Beautifully said in so many ways. Im proud of you for posting this very vulnerable story of your life and how it has shaped your faith in the One True God. Suffering, a result of sin, i truly believe God uses in our lives for growth and true beauty. Thank you for showing the character of God through your heart today❤

HUGZZZ!!!

Thank you for the Frieren recommendation 😂❤ I stopped the video and watched the first episode and came back to finish the repotting lol Editing because you have my heart crying, thank you for your openness to speak about your faith!

Ty for sharing your testimony. Bless you

That new monstera pots gonna be trouble! You may have to break it next repot 😂 Looks like the camera lens needs a wipe down, it’s a bit foggy, could be the sunlight from behind you too causing that foggy look Omgosh this was such, I dunno how to express how I feel about your testimony. Very emotional, inspiring, I needed to hear you today Joy, thank you for sharing, God bless you and the fam ❤ Ooo that tall Philo I’d chop and prop that guy for sure, or what about keiki paste on growth points along that leggy stem? Or have they all been expended ? I’m shocked you only have 3k subs, so underrated

Fruits basket is so fun ❤️p.s I’ll totally read any book you write 😉

Amen sister!!!!!

Thank you for this, I've watched you for ages and something about you has always shone out from you. Now I know you are a fellow Christian ✝️ and all is explained. Your videos are always so uplifting, thank you for being so open about your Faith. We need more influencers like you on this platform, you are such an inspiration as a mum, a Christian and generally just as a person. Thank you and just remember to look after yourself, working full time on KZfaq and being a mum full-time is a lot, you do amazing, but please 🙏 make sure you practise some real self care. Big hugs, all the way from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Keeping you in my prayers Joy ✨️🪴💕

Gale's Garden Center in Willoughby is also a very nice nursery

I have been very into wildfern’s second channel, (cozyplantlady?) where she talks a lot about hobbies and reading. I wonder if you could draw some inspiration from her! And combine more talk of your hobbies with plants?! Idk - I love all the things you’d mentioned. So I’d watch😅❤

❤👍

❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I also find mixing my own soil so therapeutic! And cheaper tbh 😅

💚💙💚💙💚💙

Why are you leaving the long roots on the monstera? Looks like it would be better to cut them off. 😊 I am a writer too and sing and crochet. And I love my plants

🤍

I understand the grief of the passing of a parent as I have lost 4 of mine (I was adopted) but it was kinda funny when someone just keep talking while crying 😅
