My first born, who's about to turn 13, was born at 29 weeks due to a placental abruption. She truly is a miracle baby, completely healthy and an absolute joy. It was so hard to wonder why all my friends who were pregnant at the same time as me all had healthy births and didn't have to spend 2 months in the NICU, who didn't have to wait 5 days before they could hold their babies. But I see now that that traumatic night and those 2 months made meek me into a mama bear extreme. It completely changed the way I had "planned" to parent and it made me really tune into God and my God given mama gut and blocked out all the noise of people who questioned why we did the things we did. Which in turn is helping us tremendously with our son who has special needs. I never thought I would be grateful for such a traumatic entrance into parenthood, but I wouldn't have it any other way. ♥️♥️
So thrilled for this new season! I'm in a season of battling strong wills in little kids and teenagers simultaneously, all while fighting against being a cranky, strict mom, and becoming an emotionally connected one. This. Is. Perfect. So excited!!
I really like the 15 minute check in idea, so far today my cat snuggling up to me made me happy,and my physical pain made me cry. I will do my own check in daily from now on,I don't have children but was a nanny for 30 years and can relate. Very informative.❤
@@nanabarker8140 I am not married nor do I have children. I have worked with children between 18 months to 5 years old in preschools, including working with children at risk of abuse. I have also worked as Aid for Special Education classes. I have found that when I can stop and acknowledge, to myself and God, what I am feeling, then I do not react in my emotions or feelings. I think I would have been a better preschool teacher if I knew that tool back then. I currently live on Social Security. How can I talk to my younger sister who is not a Christian about emotions? It seems like it becomes a problem to do it with her. I sent her the book The Connection Codes by Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill with Echo Hill-Vetter, their daughter. I sent it to her over a year ago and my sister has not read it. My sister teaches piano at her house, in Los Angeles, married with two adult children. Her children do not live in California. When I mention emotions my sister starts thinking about it in terms of mental illness. Our older sister went into a Clinical Depression after our mom died of cancer in 1995.
You and your husband have done such an amazing job on raising your children. They love God and you can see it. They’re grounded and live courageous lives. That’s the feeling I get from them. God bless you and your beautiful family. Jesus has His hands on your family 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you Candace for another amazing vlog/pod . I wanted to thank you as the past year I have been listening and you have helped me grow closer to God. You are a true Angel. Thank you for blessings us all who watch with such inspiring topics. God bless you and your family and friends. Much love from Australia ❤
Thank you all for sharing your stories, encouragement and words of wisdom! I truly enjoyed this episode so much and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. I’ll be praying for you all and your families. 🙏🏻
Hi Candace buddy! I wanted to give you an update on my health and Type 2 diabetes. Please keep praying for me about my numb hands. I still get sick if I don't eat, and the meds I'm taking seem to make that worse. My feet and legs are still numb but I'm seeing my doctor and asking others to keep praying for me as well. I love wearing flip flops, but I can't anymore because of the numbness in my toes and feet. I still go barefoot when I can. I do hope you can please have others and their churches also continue praying for me. I would love if the Lord wills to have my hands restored so i can feel them again. I also watch what I eat. I love you all and always ask God's true blessings on all of you here. I do love your segments. You radiate such light and joy! Again, my name Is Roger. Thank you sincerely for everything. It means so much to me.
Boy did I feel seen when christi was talking about the time she was feeding her baby food and broke down. I was crying! Momma to 5. 8mth old not sleeping well, 6 year old is strong willed and bed wetting pretty consistently, 3 year old is a little extra most days, and mom guilt hits hard bc I feel my 8 yo and 11yo only here me yell and I feel like I'm failing everyone. My hubby is also great will do what ever needs done either without asking or he will just do it. So I feel like he probably feels like anything he does isn't enough.
I have followed all of you for some time now so I was so excited to see you come together for such wonderful discussion! Loved this episode and looking forward to the rest of the season! ❤
There were times when I was not a single parent, and there were times when I was a single parent. With both times..... its been extremely hard. "GOD DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN NOT HANDLE" anamous & Trust me there was so much that I was juggling as so many times. I juggled 4 kids & being single at one point before my most recent relationship with my current husband. We know have 6 kids together!!! ❤ the struggle is real & you have to have communication with you spouse if you've got one or with your bestie, as well as a very good support system behind you to get through life.
I so relate to what Christy said. The postpartum time for my surprise third baby was the hardest I had ever experienced. Colic, no sleep, no outside support, etc. still digging myself out of that and dealing with some health issues. It’s so hard but so worth it. Love all the realness and encouragement in this! Thanks!
I need this season so much! I completely relate to the feeling of always wanting to be a mom. I always thought it would be easier because I knew what I didn't want to be in a mom. My word, it's probably the hardest thing I've done in my life! I have two tweens currently, and man, God uses things to refine you, but whoo, I feel so lost sometimes. Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to this season.

Sometimes you just need a hug from your hubby when you’ve had a rough day and it truly helps things so much. That’s so beautiful. ❤
So true!

It truly takes a village to get sound good advice and I never had a good village in 52 years.

I needed to hear that today! Single mama of a now 17 year old. He’s going to be a Senior in HS…and Lord I pray everyday during these teen years.
