About the Purdys

TheEssentialLife.Us was started in 2017 to share our lives and our passions with the people we love. 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!

If I wanted diamonds, he'd give them to me. If I wanted vacations, he'd take me. If I wanted fancy things, he'd buy them. But I dont. Today he surprised me with some goggles so all the shards of wood, clumps of dirt, sheetrock dust, wood shavings and insulation don't keep blowing into my eyes as we remodel our home together. This is the kind of love about which fairy tales SHOULD be written. 😍😭♥️🙌👫🔨 . #fairytales #trueromance #bestfriends #togetherness #remodel #diy #fixerupper #upstateny #40something #hardwork #buildingahouse #ourhouse #momof5 #husbandandwife #hammertime #houserenovation #thisoldhouse #samebrain #romantic

This pretty much sums up how I feel about anything in life- having a baby, taking a relationship to the next level, or leaving a relationship, or pursuing a dream, or stepping out in faith, or quitting a job or taking that new job, or stopping something that steals your peace, or starting something that you enjoy. There is no perfect timing except for God's timing. Wait on God, yes, but maybe HE is waiting on YOU....🤔 just Go for it. The time is now. This is the sign you've been looking for. . #thatswhyiworship #thewayoftheworshipper #jesuschrist #motivation #wordfortoday #godisgood #inspiration #instadaily #determined #truegrit #dreamlife #quotesdaily #housedoctor #goodadvice #signs #makeithappen #timing #waiting #goforit #justdoit #overthinker #livewellness
Its very early in the morning and I just dropped my boy off to head out on the adventure of a lifetime. I burst into tears as I smelled his skin and kissed his ear and #kissed his cheek and realized... this is it. The moment every mother anticipates and dreads. The moment when you realize... he'll come home, but he'll never truly come #HOME again. I didnt cry when he left for #kindergarten. I didnt cry when he moved to NY ahead of us. But today I'm crying because my #son is a man and heading out into the world to make his own way- my dream for him- and watching it unfold is an #honor and a joy and a beautiful #heartache. I #love you, miss you, need you, Eldie! @official_eldonbetz ____________________________________ #familybonding #worldtravel #japanculture #japan #motherhood #goodbyes #godisgood #thankyoujesus #wanderlust #momof5 #family #airport #saygoodbye #culture #traveler
We have earned the celebration that we'll have for our 11th anniversary! One thing we always promised each other was that, no matter how bad the fight, we would ALWAYS fight our way back to each other. ♥️♥️ We are two best friends who love each other's company and we will never give up on each other and God is our ever present help in time of trouble. Running to Him is our secret for daily joy, fresh passion and the recipe for success. I married my hero! ___________________________________ #superhero #bestfriends #anniversary #godislove #fighter #2008 #husbandandwife #godisgood #jesuschrist #datenight #lifetogether #marriedlife #togetherness #yearsandyears #soulmates #adventuretime #lifeisbeautiful #5kids @homerpurdy3
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. I have experienced 4 miscarriages myself and although God has healed me from that pain, each one was devastating and painful to my body and heart. If there is someone in your life who has experienced a miscarriage, still birth, or the loss of an infant or child, please think of them and give them a little extra love today and this month. ❤️❤️❤️. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Credit: @just.us_vlogs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #infantloss #miscarriage #pregnancyloss #baby #fertility #infertility #ttc #ivf #pcos #grief #loss #infantlossawareness #pregnancylossawareness #rainbowbaby #livewellness #godisgood #jesuschrist #babies
