Homer and Alicia are active in leadership ministry at their local church and have 5 kids, and one cat named Chester. The essentials to our lives are faith, family and freedom- all of which you’ll find on this blog. We’re glad you stopped by to see what’s new with the Purdys!

When you lead worship from the piano AND guitar, your French manicure does NOT get to look the same on both hands... 😎😞🎶🎹🎸 __________________________________ #manicures #hands #nailsofinstagram #guitar #acousticguitar #pianoplayer #worship #worshipleader #musician #prettyhands #twohands #lefthanded #lefties #frenchmanicure #mani #girlygirl #sacrifices #godisgood #worshipgod #christian #sahm #wahm #ithappens
My grandfather, Frank, lied about his age so he could be old enough to join the U.S. #Navy [LINK IN BIO] and fight in #WWII and the Korean war. He was deeply #patriotic and I am so proud of him and grateful for his service to our country. On #memorialday we remember the U.S #soldiers who have died, as we live on, never forgetting the price they paid for our #freedom. 👉👉 As such, I won't allow people who disparage the U.S. military to set foot in my home, or remain in my presence unchallenged. In fact, I have had to cut off #friendships with #racist #Christians (🤯!?), as well as anti- American and anti-military cowardly megalomaniacs who disparage my country and its beautiful people and I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I WILL NEVER FORGET and furthermore, I will MAKE SURE people remember what the American soldier has done for ME and my family. [Link in bio for more about Grandpa Frank!!] THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THOSE WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE. <3 😍🙌 ________________________________ #godblessamerica #patriot #navy #trueamerican #military #merica #memorialdayweekend #americansoldier #heroes #koreanwar #worldwar2 #veterans #vfw #greatestgeneration #gonebutnotforgotten #instadaily
Heres what I think about #life: You can choose to either manage your #wellness, or manage your illness. We are in #Utah visiting #family and I was so happy to pop into #doTERRA Headquarters. We have loved our experiences with this company from day 1. And as our #journey with doTERRA continues, the wellness-to-illness balance has only improved! Here's to a life well(ness) lived!! _____________________________ #doterra #utah #livewellness #essentialoils #sahm #wahm #familylife #momof5 #travelgram #reactionpics #godisgood #thankyoujesus #roadtrip #familybonding #familyfun #thegoodlife #wellnessisbeautiful #beautifullife
#ministry is a brutal, beautiful, breaking, building calling of #God. Check it out!! LINK IN BIO to "What to do When People Leave Your Ministry" published on #crosswalk - Whether you are a #church leader or not, we are ALL affected when friends depart from the #fellowship (for good OR bad reasons!) #christians are a #family! ________________________________ #thatswhyiworship #godisgood #frenemies (?!) #family #churchfamily #goodbyes #blogger #writersofinstagram #jesuschrist #growthmindset #walkingthroughfire #faithful #journey #wahm #sahm #writerslife #thecrossbeforeme #leadership #evangelism
Mama- what you do MATTERS. It counts. It is miraculous. No matter how routine, monotonous, thankless, sacrificial, or unseen. The smallest, everyday gesture might be the one that changes *everything*. Today's little action, the one you do all the time because you're a mom and it's what you DO, might be the very one God multiplies and turns into a miracle. Keep going. YOU MATTER. Happy Mother's Day!🤰🤱👵👩‍👧‍👦 .🙌 Psalm 14:4, "Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest." 😍🏋️‍♀️ ____________________________________ #mothersday #jesuschrist #mommasboy #mommyhood #godisgood #itmatters #girlpower #mothers #livewellness #momof5 #sahm #wahm #upstateny #christian #youmatter #lifeisbeautiful #beautifulmess
PLEASE READ 👉👉 "5 Reasons Why a Christian Would Have an Abortion" -- this story could save someones life!! Christians faced with an unwanted #pregnancy choose #abortion as often as non-believers. Did you know what? Did you know that last year more black children were #murdered in the womb than were born in #nyc ?? 🤯 LINK IN BIO. Read this life saving article and SHARE it. You may save a life!!! _____________________________ #babies #savethechildren #pregnant #lifeisbeautiful #lifesaver #love
We will miss @homerpurdy3 as he travels to India to share the gospel of Jesus Christ! We sure do love him and need him, and we think he's our superhero. 😍 We are excited for what the Lord will do in him and through him. And we are praying for his safety, success and for salvation of those who are lost. 💓
Anyone recognize this hat??! 😂 #retro #throwback #80sfashion #backtothefuture #martymcfly #jr #18yearsold #son
