"figuring out how to honor and obey my parents". That little tidbit says everything we need to know about you. God bless you, Glory. You are an honorable woman.
🤍🤍
your dad made me cry, what a beautifull and important thing to hear from your parents, that yes you are their baby but it's time for you to write your own story and it's maybe not the same as theirs
What a fantastic storyteller and incredible person you all are. What an honor to be your mother :)
Awwwww I just love you
And the best mom award goes to…. 🎊
Your videos are done really well, you have an amazing talent 🐬🦋🦈🐳🦭📸🎥
You have a way of making people feel like they are on the adventure with you.
As a dad myself… I hope that I (& my wife) are as supportive, positive, reinforcing and tightly connected to my own two (24 & 19) kids. Well done Dad (& mom). You’ve set a fantastic example for the rest of us to strive for. Glory, you’re a very fortunate young lady in many ways.
I really am
SO, I met you today at the airport and have to say... I feel you are on this exciting treasure hunt with your Heavenly Father-He loves to dream with us, go on adventures with us, and is the ultimate Gift Giver. It takes courage to follow Him & leap! Your courage, joy, and overall sense of wonder is a testimony. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your story.
I love seeing young people start out life like this!!!
As a young dad with two girls I love watching your Dad and how he speaks over you in this video 🙌🏻🙏🏻 good on you for taking time to honor them 🙌🏻
First....I'm glad to see you got over that bug you had during the last video.
Second...hope you didn't hurt anything with that little fall at the end 😀
Many of us had "stepping out of comfort zone" opportunities when we were younger. Most of us didn't take them. Those that did look back with no regrets. Being back on Zatara is giving you more experience in what we all see as excellent video and editing work...! The traveling part is an awesome plus.
You have a free style spirit. And at this time in your life it's being allowed to fly freely. We can understand your family's concerns but you already had a month aboard Zatara so you knew most of what to expect, and what was expected.
You WILL look back. And there will be no regrets. I guarantee it. So fly free!
That’s the hope! And yes, thus far I have no regrets
From the little girl in me who didn’t have a dad involved in my life and a mom who had to work many hours to support us, this makes me cry.
From the mom in me watching you spread your wings, fly the coop and take life changing adventures, this makes me cry.
They are tears of sadness and joy !
What a beautiful foundation you have to launch into a wonderful life you are creating for yourself !!!
Blessings
I love your authenticity Glory. Thank you for sharing with us, your journey with your parents.
They seem lovely, real, heartfelt and genuinely care for and love you. Not everyone has that in their lives. Truly Blessed!
Looking forward to your future vlogs! God Bless!
I am really enjoying your videos, Glory! The storytelling and the edits are superb! You are so talented and a joy to watch! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Love your videos Glory. Your style of filming and professionalism is fantastic. Keep up the amazing work and enjoy your travels. I look forward to your next upload.
I love you're stories! I'm from Raleigh, NC and I homeschooled my boys! And, most importantly, I am a Christian too. What a cool opportunity to get to see the world and to get to stretch your faith. Be blessed and enjoy the ride! Love that talk with your dad!🥰
Your dad is a man of God! Take the Kingdom with you to the Zatara! They are good people!
What a beautiful story, and searching for God’s will for your life.
Excited to see where He is going to take you. 🙏🏻💕
Your personality just sucks people in. You have a beautiful smile with a wicked twinkle in your eyes. Great combination! I think you’re going to blow this up. Good luck. I look forward to seeing all your adventures.
I love this, Glory - it’s shows real wisdom that you remembered to honor/obey your parents! But it also shows wisdom that you’re making sure to use the gifts God has given you as well. So happy you came back to Zatara!
**it** shows (argh spelling!!)
I realize I've been watching your videos in a relatively reverse chronological order. It's fascinating watching a young person figure out life in real time. You're in the part of your life where the future seems uncertain but the possibilities are limitless. And you have the talent and smarts to do probably anything you want. As an older person who's pretty much starting over in life, I find myself looking back with regret at opportunities or choices I never made and wonder how my life would have turned out had I made them. You are a very talented storyteller. You're doing great work.
I wasn’t even done crying about what your dad said (which I totally and completely agree with, by the way) when you tripped and made me crack up and clap laughing…while sitting here watching you in my car in a parking lot. That was a good one. Prayers for you and the Whitakers as you travel and live.
Haha this is perfection!
It is very important that you express your faith on film and your love of God. Praise you Glory!
love ur content❣️ as a norweigan hearing the norwegian guy being so confused and talking norwenglish was so hillarious to me
Hahaha he was so sweet! I had no idea I had an audience 🙈
Beautifully raw and honest Glory - we are so privileged you share your life with us all. Thank you! The call with your Dad was fantastic and says a lot about you and your caring family. They clearly love you to bits and are rightly protective for you - but see you starting to spread your wings and discover yourself in this great big beautiful world, so are supportive, and you can't beat that. Have THE best time and epic adventures out there Glory! 🎉❤
YES, I can tell you were homeschooled. My own kids were homeschooled. Egypt was the first country we traveled to, everywhere else became easier! ;) PS) When I was in Israel, I shared a dorm with several Mennonite girls who traveled the world for their schooling. It was mandatory.
Everything I’ve seen, points to your parents having done a phenomenal job of preparing you to step out into this new adventure. You have definitely been blessed!
Your dad made me cry! I'm 47yrs old had lonely upbringing with no dad ( who was drug/alcoholic and died at young age) and a mom that never said "I love you " to me not one time to this day and never showed up to my school functions or sports . My childhood friends mom was the one that cheered me on and made sure i had ride to school and sports and i realized when i got older that I owe that woman everything for how i became a parent to my kids. I'm so proud of my children and who they became as young adults but i hurt inside because they don't have much family because my mom was also non existent as a grandmother and never celebrated a birthday with them or checked on them. But me and my wife stood strong and did best we can and they turned out amazing still. You have amazing parents and so proud to see you care for them like you do and considered there feelings as well. They did an amazing job and your one amazing young lady and cherish your family yet go find yourself and explore this beautiful world and experience other cultures and it's going to round you into that special person that will conquer any dream and goal your after and then celebrate with your family together! Keep up amazing work and enjoy time with your extended family in the Whitakers. 😊
Thanks for sharing the full picture esp opening up about your sweet family. It’s understandable but I can’t wait seeing you flourish in different environment.
I’ve been following the Whitaker’s for several years and I’m glad you’ve joined the family. And I believe I’m going to enjoy watching you mature and grow through your videos 🌹🌹🌹
Came over from Zatara. Cool getting to know your background. Your dad sounds like a great guy. When you have kids of your own, his comments and concerns will make even more sense.
God is like the current in a river. All it takes is faith on your part and He will steer your boat around all obstacles to exactly where you need to be. Don't "paddle" too fast or too slow as those choices will defeat the current and you wind up on the rocks! All you really have to do is listen to that still small voice in your heart, relax and enjoy the ride! 🙂 Seeing your subscriber count go up is encouraging so I will share, comment for the algorithm and agree with you for happiness and blessings beyond compare! And since now I know you don't have a lot of resources i feel led to donate to your journey. Is there a way? oh and BTW that was quite the tease of you singing at the end... not the same as actually hearing your voice but i guess you're working your way into that! I'm not giving up hope as i have a feeling your voice is the key to opening many more doors of opportunity. Great work!
this really touches me thank you! A friend actually gave me the same saying before I left and it was really helpful
God, Bless Glory on her new adventure!
What amazing parents you have🥹 you can tell 100% they hold you in their hands with their palms open and not clenched... to let you be free and experience life... they've given you a solid Christian foundation, and they know you're not theirs, but you belong to God. That's exactly how my parents were with me. Be safe, keep God first in all things and you can't really go wrong... xx
Hi Glory, Thank you for this honest and authentic video - and for all of your videos since joining Zatara (where I discovered you). I see and appreciate you and your excellent storytelling and videowomanship (!!). So this video of yours made me especially appreciative of you, because your essence as a person came through more fully, it just felt so full of integrity for you to go back and remake your intro to your true liking. I bet that felt great :) Keep feeling for the truth and retelling your story wherever you need to -- it encourages us to feel for the truth and stand in it, too. And that is a GIFT to this world (as well as all the fun and pretty places you are seeing). Yes, you have that homeschool imaginative CREATIVITY and curiosity (why not? I'm gonna try it!) that so often gets beat out of young people through the traditional US educational system. Keep shining. You're a gem! Lee
Wow thank you! This is so encouraging!
I have a 16 year old daughter and i gotta say. i have encouraged here to watch your channel, med crew and Zatara. I want her to see there is a huge world out side of great falls Montana. and the world is about to be at her finger tips. when you said how do i obey my parents but still live life on your terms... i agree . and want to thank you for making this. you are a incredible creative brave young lady and wish u the best of happy safe travels. and thank you just wanted to let ya know you are helping parents and young girl such as my daughter. see a different way of life such as the Z crew does . just awesome . and no i couldn't tell ya was home school. I just thought ya had good parents and a good ground ya plant ya feet on.;)
I concur. 🇳🇿 😎
Glory you make me rethink my decision of going to school with every video lol. Should I quit school and start sailing again?
You better cross the Atlantic…
Luke. My two cents worth. Get your degree or trade school then go sailing or not. That was fun video Glory. Cheers!!
Hey @ Luke, How about you do a follow-up vid on your channel , and share with us all what you're up to now too? Some of us Med Crew followers are sub'd to yours too. Waiting waiting .. lol. 😎
And Glory, top notch upload, great outro and intro - let's go girl, see you next upload. Keep em coming, Yours are second to none ! 😉 Cheers from NZ 🇳🇿 M.
What a great story! Nice to see young people living life rather than get caught in thr rat race . I think the Zatara Zatara has acquired a great asset.
Although I am an old man (74), I perked my ears up when you said you moved from Canada to Raleigh, NC since that was my place of birth-education-college -and the beginning of a 48-year career as a teacher. I have been watching the Whitaker Family on RUclips for over a year and now have a small connection to the channel because of you. Have a great voyage/experience/professional growth/life. I will be following your journey.
Glory, that was amazing. Listening to you talk to your father made me tear up a bit. You are getting an education in life. What an opportunity. Live each moment with joy and appreciation.
Your editing work and storytelling are beautiful. I commented on the Sailing Zatara channel that I am seeing the world through them and now you too.
Wow thank you!
Glory.. you did what i wish i did when i was 20.. you are so matured, your parents raised you right, just the way you are, genuine, smart, adventurous, deep thinker, well spoken!! Good luck! You did well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing job Glory! Your talents are endless. Hopefully your Parents are extremely Proud of you! Your cinematography skills and editing are top notch. The sky is the limit for you now. Thanks to the Whitakers for hosting you on Zatara and bringing your World into ours. Keep on keeping on and be Safe always!
Wow thank you!
I'm a 38 Year old woman. I'm married to the most amazing man. He's my best friend and we are told we are a power couple. We live in Colorado much of the time, but we travel a lot.
That said, at 20, I think your doing the right thing for you. This family seems to be a strong family. Good morals and ethics. And I think you will have some amazing opportunities in your life that you wouldn't normally. ( stuck in the states ).
Thank you for your amazing videos. We love them. Maybe we could come meet you and your adopted family at some point.
I have a video I made of my hubby, if I so desired to share it,( if he doesn't mind ) would you open to receiving it? Thank you for being amazing 😍.
Love the Father- Daughter relationship. Sounds like you have a great foundation. Hang on to God. He will go before you and with you! He loves you sooo much! Sing those hymns in cathedrals, churches, coffee shops. Blessings
You seem like a grounded person with a good heart. Would love to hear you sing occasionally in your videos. Enjoy your life !!
Love this. Your Dad is great. His love of God and that for his children certainly comes through. God bless you and your family big time while you're on the boat. I'm pretty sure you're in the best place you could be right now.
Thank you for sharing with us, your journey with your parents. Looking forward to your future vlogs!
You are so cute! For someone your age you are so switched on it’s crazy! Stay wholesome girlll you’ve got this 🙏🏽🥰
Proud of your parents for letting you explore the world and get to know yourself. Building relationships with new people/strangers is a very powerful force for building character and skills. You’ll grow so much, Glory. And you’re young!! You’ll find your path, your niche, in time, bit for now enjoy every minaret of being a traveller and film editor! From a mother of a 21 year old daughter! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
No, it never crossed my mind. ❤ You were lucky to be homeschooled. I love your videos!
I joined the Navy when I was 18. Putting me on the plane to go to boot camp was the 1st time I saw my Dad tearful. They spend their lives shaping us into good humans…letting go is a courage beyond measure. God has given us a place to enjoy, people to build relationships with and an opportunity to share his love for us all. Happy travels sweetie…
im homeschooled too! i kinda felt like u were giving those homeschooler vibes cause i know whats thats like lol, but i was unsure, u really made my day glory!!
Hello.
I come from Denmark.
I know how you feel.
I left when I was only 13. Came back home when I was 21.
I have sailed around the world twice before I was 18 years old. It was the best time of my life. Besides when I had my lovely children. But everything I made I can use today. four different languages. (English, Spanish, Swedish and Danish.
So keep learning out there and making those good youtubes. Love your videos.
Say hello to the crew.
im from argentina but this past august i lived in nyc for two months, and i want to go back to that life again when i was free. pd i love ur content, and the talk w ur dad was so sweet
That was super duper dad advice right there.
Around the same age I was confronted with a life changing opportunity that was against my parents orientation they had planned for me.
Sometimes you just have to take that giant leap of faith out of childhood into adulthood.
This video was a trip down memory lane Glorz (I’m Aussie we shorten everyone’s name). I’m 50 now so you just sent me back 30 years.
I don’t act it though. 😆
Go get em,sister!
Yew! 🤙🏽
Compliments to you father knowing to find the right words saying what he feels, amazing guy to listen to. Your video’s are awesome Glory! I’ve been following Sailing Zatara for years now and you are a valuable addition to their family. Alle the best and greetings from The Hague in The Netherlands.
sounds like you have an awesome dad, and a really good story to tell - well, you've told it.. but it will continue.........
Homeschooled, religious, worry parents, I am familiar with this story. I have questions, but I will wait for you to reveal them on a video.
I’ve been homeschooled the past two years, and got my first job at 14. I feel just like you did, lost. I don’t know if the job I’m in (marketing) is what I want to do with my life (not that I need to be in any rush). You’ve given me the comfort of knowing that life truly is a journey, and it will all work out. I dream of traveling the world like you and have enjoyed watching your story more than I can say.
Speaking from the perspective of a dad of an 18 year old son who is a freshman in college and a 16 year old daughter who is a junior in high school, you dad is awesome. Your parents love you unconditionally and only want what is best for you. Even though your dad had an immense amount of fear for your safety, he knew instinctively that he needed to let you go and grab your dreams. In the end, the Whitaker family loves you too and will protect you.
Keep following your dreams!!!
Also… your parents seem like the best. So spiritually grounded. They care for you but we’re willing to let you go. Your dad was so sweet speaking life over you!
Isnt he the sweetest? 😭
Love your ending shot!!! Hope you're ok, though!!❤
After watching your video, I've changed my mind about you and your stories. You made the right decision
.
Enjoy Glory your only young once, these are all great storys for the kids someday 🙏👊
You are living your best life, is that not what we as parents bring our children up to do 💝 I’m not your mom but if you were my daughter I would be so proud you are living the life you want to live, not the one I want for you, go for it girl, life is short, cherish every moment Glory 🌱
You're actually living my dream. I would love to know what it's like to live out on the ocean in the boat. Sending much love your way from Alabama. Keep up the great videos.
You are so brave, Gloria. God bless you. You go girl.
This was excellent! 🥹 You shared your heart and your spirit and gave us (the audience) an intimate insight into who Glory really is. ❤❤
How cool is that!! What awesome support. The world at your doorstep. Thank you
Norway looks sooo beautiful! I actually had wondered if you where homeschooled, I'm also the youngest of a homeschool family. I'm at the point where I've had a job doing kind of what I love and enjoy, but not sure I want to keep doing it like this. And also want to get out and explore the world a bit. And you are such an inspiration for both of those dreams. Guys. If God gives you an opportunity to go make memories. GO DO IT! it will be sooooo worth it. I'd honestly love to live on a sail boat for a bit, but I'm not that good of a swimmer...
Always looking forward to your new video's, as well as the Zatara crews!
Impressive. Thanks. If you're an example of the next responsible generation, the world has nothing to worry about. It is in good hands.
Such a terrific and inspiring young lady.
How's that possible that you make me cry in every video? 😂 loved it, Glory! 💙 loving to see the world and life through your eyes! 💞🦋
Wow! This was really inspiring! Can’t wait to see how everything goes! everywhere you’ve been so far seems so beautiful! I’m jealous. 😅😭
You're an awesome story teller and videographer - life is an adventure and you're doing it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ loved this video!
What complicated questions you have had to ask yourself, I hope you don't have to feel any regrets about your decisions and can just enjoy yourself fully. You are managing just fine!
I’m an old man, hired hundreds of young people and met thousands in the process. I would interview a person every 15 minutes starting at 8 AM until 3:30 PM. So where is this going? We hired articulate, self-confident and people skilled in chemistry, math and science. Plus good written skills. Guess what, drum-roll, we found that our hires had a common history they had been home schooled. Not all but a distinct number. But in the end they became our most valued employees. And you Glory would easily fit into that group. You’ve been home schooled and you can tell from the first few minutes of your dialog.
Thumbs up for the lav mic. Close mic sound is so much better. Old fan of Zatara...now watching Glory in addition.
🫡
You are a beautiful soul young lady!! Step out and see what GOD has in store for you 😊!! Enjoy!!
I can always pick out the home schooled students. Yes. I knew you were. . .at least for part of your upbringing, home schooled. I might have an advantage, being both a retired school teacher and having quite a few friends who home schooled their children. (I think you and your family would agree, the best we can do is to live our lives based on the theme in Proverbs 3:5-6.)
The part that you "honor" your parents will serve you well in life.
Love your shoes. Been looking for it on On
hiya glory! i love your videos and your energy, it's always super exciting when you post a new vid on fridays :D keep it up, and i'm so glad you found a lifestyle you enjoy a lot and that your family accepted it in the end😊
Glory, you have such a big personality and you are seriously wise beyond your years. I can tell that you've had a wonderful upbringing and I really admire your relationship with your parents. I wish I had been able to have that kind of relationship with my parents at age 20! Heck, I wish I had that kind of relationship with them now that I'm in my 40s and they're in their 70s! I still struggle with the "obey vs honor" thing, even at my age, and I feel like you have a much better perspective on it than I do. Your videography and editing skills are incredible and I so enjoy your videos. I'm really glad you made the decision to come back to the Zatara crew for awhile, and I am really excited to see where this next chapter of your life is going to take you!
Wow thank you!
Well done…..keep growing and become a greater blessing to our would 👍
Your parents are amazing! I hope this journey continues to be enlightening. So many more opportunities will come from this experience than you can imagine!!
life is full of chances, if you don't take them you lose them. live life
I JUST LOVE GLORY STORIES!❤
I found your channel from watching sailing zatara!❤❤❤
Aw I hope that I get to travel the world like you when I’m older!
great story telling ! you are going to be a great compliment to the family!
What a way to end your video lol, I can't wait for the next one
What a great opportunity for you and you didn't waste it!
And you are doing a great job on the Zatara videos.
In love with this channel , I’m so glad I found you
Good job glory!! Keep it up! God is good ❤
In next 2 years you will cross 1M subs for sure.
Sweet Girl and fantastic Video and very informative 👏❤️❤️
You made the right decision for you
can you make a video about how you navigated your relationship with your parents as you grow older?
Hahaha. I was also homeschooled and I feel like I can spot fellow homeschooled now-adults in the wild!
