About me

Hey there, I’m Julie! So glad you found my blog.
Good Grief, Sister is a Christian lifestyle blog where you’ll find lots of things to explore.
Even though I’m not your typical bible thumpin southern baptist, I still love Jesus. I am full of mistakes and I’m not here to judge anyone. I do hope to help you realize your worth in Christ and inspire you to grow a deeper relationship with Him.
Here you’ll read ALL types of things from God stories to banana nut bread recipes, gardening to health/wellness. Most of my posts will be in personal growth….from marriage and parenting to overcoming grief and seizing the day! Life is hard, we don’t need to make it harder. Life is all about perspective!! That’s how Good Grief, Sister came about. Having gone through so many situations that filled me with grief, I had to find a way to trudge through. I’ve told people about a few of my life situations and pretty much get the same response…”Good grief!” Well, in essence, it should be good because bad grief weighs us down and prevents us from living the life God intended for us to live.

I live in the country in a small house on 17 acres with my wonderful husband. I am Mom to 2 young boys, 1 little girl, and bonus mom to a teenage girl and a grown young man…and I can’t forget our blue eyed Australian Sheppard. My husband is my rock, my soft place to land, and my absolute ride or die. He is the man that I prayed for and I thank God for him. We are thoroughly enjoying transitioning into small time farmers. I love cooking and coming up with my own recipes so expect to indulge but it won’t always be in a traditional southern style eatery. I have a wide palette and don’t discriminate so expect to see a little bit of everything.

If you are looking for a fun place with unexpected story plots, gardening, cooking, laughing and sometimes crying…you’re in the right place. If you are grieving, no matter what the loss, a friendship, a marriage, the death of a loved one, a miscarriage, the loss of your health, or the pain staking grief of having a chronically ill child, I’ve got you covered.

“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
