Please do not listen to anybody telling you to check your child out there is no way someone can create a diagnosis based off of a small video she's a toddler exercising her independence and boundaries just learning to be a human
Definitely agree with reading the Bible, and I would also recommend taking the kids to church. ❤ Love to you all. I've been watching since JB was a toddler.
Bella is absolutely fine and smart and adorable and loving. My mouth almost dropped when you said some people said to get her checked out. I love watching Bella and Leah. Beautiful kids
I find the NLT version of the bible the easiest to understand, but you can also find study bibles that explains each verse. Those are also really helpful 😊 i always pray for wisdom and understanding before I read the bible
I cried when I heard ate Judy desires to go to church, and I am thankful to hear how kuya Benji loves the KJV. It is wonderful to learn the Word because, I am so thankful and amazed to see how great parents you are, and to learn that you have yearning for the Word, that you are having partnership with God on how to raise your children and establish your family with the foundation of love of God. It is beautiful to see the children growing with passion for the Lord, as they are people with purpose and significance. They are young people with pure hearts. I wish to tell you a verse that is perfect for you to hear... JEREMIAH 31:3 Yahweh appeared from afar saying, I have loved you with a love everlasting, so I have kept for you my mercy. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." I hope you read the Word and the Lord will always make you relaxed. The Lord loves you dearly, you are all special to him. God bless you. :)
Maybe by checked out they mean through the pediatrician for screening such as autism or other forms of social behaviorism that can be detected early. I had the same issues with my daughter when she was little and as she got older she got diagnosed with anxiety and ADD, but everyone is different and you know your own child and at the end of the day you make the best decision for your family❤
Trust me Judy, going to church with your family every week is going to be the best decision. Even though there is chaos in your life you will feel a lot more peaceful on the inside. ❤
I love that you mentioned the Bible and wanting to get back into church! No man is an island and the community that I have within my church has been a haven. Definitely find a church with a great kids program and one that ministers to your family as a whole. As for the Bible, NIV and ESV are great translations that are more similar to modern day vernacular. Will be praying for you and your sweet fam. 🫶🏽 Much local love. 😉🤎
Bella knows she’s the baby because of the way she gets everyone’s attention and uses her baby powers to get you to surrender to her demands, it’s a matter of treating her the same as the other kids
In the season of separation anxiety with my 1 year old, big shock since my 3 yo was very independent and went to everyone. Now my 3 yo is clingy and both are all over me. Did I think they needed checking out? No! It’s a season
This! My 3 y/o is soooo clingy whereas my oldest defo wasn't like that. She was very independent and has never been clingy. It's so tough at times, because I sometimes cannot even cook or eat. I've tried everything but it just won't stop. Claiming constantly. So now I set boundaries. If I eat, he sits by himself until I am done. No eating on my lap. After lunch we have cuddle time where I sit with him on the couch to snuggle. In the mornings I try to establish a routine where we play a bit together and then he plays by himself. I notice a big difference already. He plays a lot better by himself and maybe it just means he's getting over the clingy phase, or maybe it does work to be more strict. We'll never know but I am just happy to see my happy 3 year old again. Because he used to be only happy when he was stuck on me haha
Yeah it’s a phase but if it’s not acknowledged and “fixed” it will last a lot longer than it should. My daughter was the same way and needed me in the same room as her to fall asleep up until she turned 10. And that was my fault for not doing anything about it. It became very overwhelming. When I would go to concerts, she wouldn’t fall asleep until I got home. So I dreaded asking anyone to babysit in the evening.
Wow I said the exact same thing as Benji when you were looking for books to read - the Bible! And I prayed immediately that you would seek Him and get to know Him more. Our Father is waiting for you to come to Him with open arms. Jesus loves you Judy ❤
Everytime we travel, our kids become more attached to us, especially me. Obviously because you're spending a lot more time together, you carry them more often, especially in places like japan, your sleep arrangements are different. It takes a bit of time to readjust but eventually they do readjust to home life.
All kids are different. Bella is a very smart girl. You're home with her all the time, of course she'll have separation anxiety. My kids did too and I worked full time. I can only imagine working from home.
❤ BE PROUD! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION, YOU ARE A MOTHER AND YOU DESERVE SELF CARE, GRACE, LOVE. ANYONE WHO DOESNT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOUR SUPPOSE TO DO AND THEN THEY COMPLAIN?! THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! Your doing everything perfectly and I am blessed to have learned how to be an amazing mother thru watching your vlogs! I support you! SENDING YOU SO MUCH LOVE JUDY ❤️
Since I became a mom, of course now I can relate more to the things you guys talk about parenting stuff. Love hearing your experience or thoughts about different things , sometimes you feel good if you hear other parents experiencing the same things so you feel less alone or crazy 😂😂😂 love you guys ❤️ we all can get through the seasons 😮💨💪🏼
My oldest was like Bella and we were reassured by his pediatrician that it just means a secure attachment with the parent and that there’s nothing wrong with her 😊
I literally just got back from my daughter’s 2 year check up and that was one of my biggest concerns about the tantrums when I leave and they assured me she is normal hahaha.
10 yearsss! Time flies, I started watching your vlogs when the twins were born. My favorite memories with them where so many : 1) when Keira stole the spoon from Miya🤭 2) Benji dressed up as a woman and appeared in front of the kids, their reaction was hilarious😂 3) The twins went out for a walk with Mel and Miya waving bye bye to Keira 🥲 4) Twins were throwing the stuffed animals in each other cribs. 5) the moments with their great grampy🥺 6) Miya started saying Hi guys hahaha🤣 7) Twins as babies holding each other hands 🥰 8) Twins smiling towards the camera I often go back to the old vlogs and rewatch those moments, bless you all 💖
When the twins were waking up from a nap and the book pages were ripped! Benji asked them who did it. Mia said kiera did it and kiera said no Mia did it... I could watch that 100 times... cutest thing ever and my favourite one❤
❤ So much love to you both! Yes the Bible is best recommendation Benji, personally really like the NKJV. Judy, just pray and ask Him to guide you in His Word, He will always lead you! 🥰
I have read parts of the bible and different religious scriptures. But I must recommend you the Quran! Give it a a shot, its beautiful to explore different beliefs especially as Islam is the fastest growing religion! :)
@@ayatour5333 God gives us free will to do so. 🌸 I’ve studied world religions and even sadly the occult arts, and Jesus rescued me when I was rock bottom and lost, and all I was seeking was the truth. My life has never been the same since. ”Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.“ John 14:6 NKJV

I just started reading the Bible again and it has helped in this season of my life. I highly recommend it. It can be intimidating to get started but there are resources here on YT that can teach you some options on how to get started. For me, I started with the New Testament starting with the Gospel of John and just went from there…I’ll be going into the old testament soon. Happy birthday to the twins! 🎉❤
My younger sister went through a "separation anxiety" phase, too, mostly at bedtime. My parents adopted her when she was 16 months-old from China, so that may have had a factor in it. Every kid and family is different. You guys are awesome parents! Sending hugs from Arizona ^_^
Hi Judy I recommend getting an NLT life application Study Bible!! IMO it is a “Bible for dummies” makes it so easy to understand!!! Changed my life!!!! Also the Bible speaks about the season you mentioned and how they don’t last forever ❤ Hope that helps.
What you’re feeling right now sounds all too familiar and was me almost a year ago. I also bought atomic habits and started reading it. But nothing helped me like the Bible did and going back to church. Praying for you and your beautiful family ❤
Yes I totally agree! I started off with NLT and it is by far the easiest to understand without losing original meaning and context. The application helps to put the Word into practice too ❤
Me too, I think simplifying the translation (but not watering down the Gospel) really helped me with my spiritual life. Eventually, as my journey with God grew, everything in my life just got better. I still went through a lot but I was able to handle it better and react to my circumstances better. Praise God for you ladies here :)
So, i listened to the atomic habits and have read the book physically. I finally decided to try out the skills to do habits i want. First, I wanted to test it out, so i started with reading every day. In order for me to do it, i chose to do the habit after i shower and in bed to read. I have been doing that for about 3 months now!! I dont try to be crazy about it. As long as i read it counts. If i read for 30 minutes, i do. If i read for 10 thats good as well. Being super extreme with the habit, in my opinion has made me quit in the past. Anyway, my new habit to add to my life is to run at least a mile. I dont run every day because of weather and rest days. But i make sure I get in some run during the week. Anyway. Yay!
It's normal for babies to be attached to the primary parent and in most cases it's us moms! My daughter is 4 and she still needs me to sleep next to her every night. 😅 it's s season for sure.
Judy I understand the struggle! My almost two year old is so attached to me. She’s also baby number 5 and she gets so jealous just when I interact with the older kids. Gentle parenting is not working with her lol bedtimes are a struggle too. As soon as I lay her down, she jumps up and cries. When dad does it, she’ll whine a little bit but eventually goes down easier than with me. It’s definitely just a season. They’ll get better! Just know you’re definitely not alone and I know how frustrating and hard it can be! You’re doing a great job momma!
Hi Benji & Judy! After reading through the Bible for years and not really understanding it, I came across the Read scripture app, it helped me so much! It takes you through the books in a way that really explains how the entire Bible is one long story! It’s so neat! I would highly recommend.😀
Bella is fine. She and Leah are very bright. She wants her way, like any child. Discipline is up to the parent. It is not easy to parent or discipline your child. Think back how you were raised and use what works for you and your child.
Hi Judy, I have 5 kids ages 29-14. I like watching you and Benji because your family reminds me of my family when they were young, especially eating dinner at the table. I read Proverbs and Psalms daily. Today is 3/13 read Proverbs 13 and Psalms 13. I prayed for wisdom to raise my kids. Thank you for all your videos I love watching the littles. They remind of my 2 youngest children.
Praying always for you and your family, Judy and Benji! You must get this a lot but I’ve been watching you since I was 13 -now I’m 27 😅 and I see how much God has blessed you all throughout the trials and seasons. ❤
@itsjudyslife it’s so true about being seasoned parents and learning new things as kids grow. Have you see that meme where they compare the ages of about 5-7 as “fake spring” hahaha it’s so true! Makes me laugh!
My mum would tell me I was the same with her- being a single parent and always just being around her. She would just have to eventually aluminum foil the windows so NO LIGHT came in during the day, close the door and turn the music up so she couldn’t hear and I would just cry it out and fall asleep lol Obviously parenting these days are different.. But she always said that when I started going to daycare 1-2 days then 5 days it all changed and I became a totally different toddler! Obv the first couple of weeks during drop off was hard, but it got easier she said to the point I would just run in and be like “yep ok see ya later” without a hug lol Maybe a couple hours away with other kids is what Bella needs to build that confidence with new people and surroundings but also teach her that you will always come back. The routine helps set them up for school as they know what to expect. Drop off and pick up. Also give u a couple hrs of break during the week for you as well! Good luck! 😊
This takes me back to childhood when I would mix different drinks together and made a menu. It definitely was the simple things that excited me at that age
Give yourself grace! You guys are doing an amazing job as parents. Each season of life come with new challenges and only you guys know what works best for your kids/family ☺️ keep up the good work!!
My 15 month old is the same way ! Me and my daughter are super attached to each other . We had to sleep train her because since she shares a room with my 4 year old she had to sleep better . I slept train her for 1-2 weeks . The way I did it was Ferber method . It took a long week but it worked . With my son I did the cry it out method when he was 8 months old. So you just have to find a method that works for you and try it for 1-2 weeks . Keep your head up there is a light at the end of this tunnel 💕your doing great Judy .❤
Hi Judy! The Life Application Study Bible worked for me. It’s easy to read because of all the translations written per verse. The translations are easy to read as well. Hope this can help.😊
The easiest version of the Bible for me for beginners is NLT. If u need more explanation to understand more, I always cross check MSG or AMP version. But I do like to read NKJV first since it is the most closest to the past writing. Hope that helps :)
Jesus peace be upon him is a man, a Prophet. God can never be human. “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Number 23:19 NKJV Read the Quran Check out RUclips: One Message Foundation for more info
Happy birthday Miya and Keira! My favorite memories are the everything 2 dawwas store and I present to you... So many happy memories. Thanks for sharing a piece of your lives with us. Hope all is well.
3:42 girl. My daughter is the SAME way .... She's 4 now 😭😭😭 we still having trouble too... We found out that just leaving her in her room works best. She still puts up a fight but not nearly as bad!! She also knows she's allowed to talk but not to much or to loud! My little one is autistic as well, so bed time has always been hard!
Judy do you think that Bella is so attached to you because she didn’t have the chance to get really close to mama like the other girls!? I can just picture mama being with Bella all the time and being another mom to her and Bella wanting to go see mama all the time like the other girls. I wonder if that would have changed anything. I know they have auntie Mel too. And auntie Mel is amazing. I think it was just different with mama.
Me and my husband had been dealing with that with our 2 year old not wanting to sleep in her room 😩 climbing in our bed crying for water or food when it's 3am lol but we had to set some rules and what we did that worked was one day she was sleeping so nice and it was midnight we woke her up pretended crying and keeping her up and she was very upset and we told her that's how we felt when she would wake up multiple times at night and finally she saw that didn't like it and now she only wakes up some nights maybe 1 time but it has improved so much
Omg I need that real talk in the beginning , I’m going threw the same with my baby , n my best friend always tells me to ask a doctor , because her son is quiet n sleeps like a dream , my son on the other hand never sleeps and is rambunctious, every baby is Diffrent , it’s a struggle but we got this , mama knows best
Like you said Judy everything is only for a season. Bella bear is just seeing what she can get away with lol and she loves her mommy!! Not a bad thing at all ❤ hilarious how benji throws in sexy time randomly when yall are talking about parenting and the bible 😂😂
What worked for me was letting my 2 year old decorate her own bedroom. She was more inclined to stay in her bedroom rather than scream to come into mine!
One of my twins is like this! She is sooooo attached and when I leave her room she hits the walls, screams, falls to the floor. It’s so sad, hard, and frustrating. I think it’s normal though. Hang in there!
Not sure why i cant comment on the birthday vlog but my favourite moment of the twins would be when they wake up from their naps and be talking to each other and exchanging their stuffed toys😂 also the best moment was when Benji was trying to find out who tore the princess book and both blamed Barbie😂
For real though the Best Bible to get as a beginner is a CSB study Bible and just pray for knowledge and understanding when reading definitely has helped me
Sending your family so much love💗 I pray you get passed it, this too shall pass🙏🏼 been watching you for years. Now I have met a half filo man who is the man of my dreams🥹❤️ you guys are inspiring💗 love your family dynamic🤗
I struggled also when reading the King James Bible until I started watching the coffee and Bible hour show they really help you to understand the word and I think y’all are doing an amazing job as parents love the vlogs
I use to struggle trying to read the king james version(kjv) then i tried new king james version(nkjv), NIV. but the day i read the new living translation(NLT) i haven't changed since then. I just love it. ❤ if you want to understand a bible verses better you can look up a specific verse on amplified bible specifically amplified classic bible.

Judy I just want to know how you Vlog almost every day. I know it just looks as simple as picking up the camera but I admire it
Bella is absolutely fine and smart and adorable and loving. My mouth almost dropped when you said some people said to get her checked out. I love watching Bella and Leah. Beautiful kids
One of my fave twin moments was when the twins pretended to be sleeping and was caught on baby monitor.
Happy Birthday Keira and Miya! 🎉🥳🎂
I find the NLT version of the bible the easiest to understand, but you can also find study bibles that explains each verse. Those are also really helpful 😊 i always pray for wisdom and understanding before I read the bible
I was going yo suggest this as well.
I just wrote this in a comment! My favorite version ❤

The Lord loves you dearly, you are all special to him. God bless you. :)
Kuya Benji is a great man of God, he leads you to read the Word. :) He leads you to be closer to God. That is intimacy. :)
WELL SAID JUDY. All Children's are different. Your babies are all beautiful and precious. love your beautiful family .

12:35 lmao! The way Leah’s eyes widened when she felt the carbonation😂😂
Happy birthday Miya, Kiera, & Mama!!! 💗💗💗
Leah’s smile with her eyes when she first tasted her soda I could have cried it was so precious 😩🥰🥰
Trust me Judy, going to church with your family every week is going to be the best decision. Even though there is chaos in your life you will feel a lot more peaceful on the inside. ❤
Judy’s hmmm at 7:07🤣

We need a Bella and Leah interview ❤
When I got back from Japan, I felt miserable for weeks. It was so annoying! Hope you feel better!
Hi Benji & Judy! After reading through the Bible for years and not really understanding it, I came across the Read scripture app, it helped me so much! It takes you through the books in a way that really explains how the entire Bible is one long story! It’s so neat! I would highly recommend.😀
Bella is fine. She and Leah are very bright. She wants her way, like any child. Discipline is up to the parent. It is not easy to parent or discipline your child. Think back how you were raised and use what works for you and your child.
Hi Judy, I have 5 kids ages 29-14. I like watching you and Benji because your family reminds me of my family when they were young, especially eating dinner at the table. I read Proverbs and Psalms daily. Today is 3/13 read Proverbs 13 and Psalms 13. I prayed for wisdom to raise my kids. Thank you for all your videos I love watching the littles. They remind of my 2 youngest children.
7.09 HAHHAHA I love you guys
Praying always for you and your family, Judy and Benji! You must get this a lot but I’ve been watching you since I was 13 -now I’m 27 😅 and I see how much God has blessed you all throughout the trials and seasons. ❤
@itsjudyslife it’s so true about being seasoned parents and learning new things as kids grow. Have you see that meme where they compare the ages of about 5-7 as “fake spring” hahaha it’s so true! Makes me laugh!
My mum would tell me I was the same with her- being a single parent and always just being around her. She would just have to eventually aluminum foil the windows so NO LIGHT came in during the day, close the door and turn the music up so she couldn’t hear and I would just cry it out and fall asleep lol
Obviously parenting these days are different.. But she always said that when I started going to daycare 1-2 days then 5 days it all changed and I became a totally different toddler!
Obv the first couple of weeks during drop off was hard, but it got easier she said to the point I would just run in and be like “yep ok see ya later” without a hug lol
Maybe a couple hours away with other kids is what Bella needs to build that confidence with new people and surroundings but also teach her that you will always come back. The routine helps set them up for school as they know what to expect. Drop off and pick up. Also give u a couple hrs of break during the week for you as well! Good luck! 😊
I love how the ates were patient with Leah trying out the club soda first.
This takes me back to childhood when I would mix different drinks together and made a menu. It definitely was the simple things that excited me at that age
What about putting her in daycare, letting her get used to separation, not having mother at home all the time.
My SIL is Filipino. I love Pancit, I made it for the first time! lol she's proud of me she said.. I would like to see how you make yours..
I had to stop watching a while back for my mental health health but wanted to just check in on you guys. Same same I see
Give yourself grace! You guys are doing an amazing job as parents. Each season of life come with new challenges and only you guys know what works best for your kids/family ☺️ keep up the good work!!
My favourite memory of the twins is your first trip with them to Hawaii ❤❤
Juliana says “wow” just like how Judy says “wow” when talking to the littles 😂
Aww Happy Birthday Miya & Keira!! 🥳🎂 wow does time fly!!! Hope you all have a wonderful fun filled weekend. Sending love from 🇦🇺🥰
She’s a toddler! That’s what they do sometimes, they have big feelings and don’t know how to handle it.
Judy I recommend NLT version super easy to understand! Also a book recommendation is Love Does by Bob Goff!
Happy birthday Miya and Kiera! Wow 10 yrs flies! 🎂💐🥳🙏🎈🥰🎉❤️
NLT is a great one! I also use the esv translation :) i love that version! i use it on the daily.
Aw so fancy how Benji made some Italian soda for the girls!!
the bible has helped me with patience with my family and life. I had stopped for awhile but i am back at it again, I highly recommend it.
My 15 month old is the same way ! Me and my daughter are super attached to each other . We had to sleep train her because since she shares a room with my 4 year old she had to sleep better . I slept train her for 1-2 weeks . The way I did it was Ferber method . It took a long week but it worked . With my son I did the cry it out method when he was 8 months old. So you just have to find a method that works for you and try it for 1-2 weeks . Keep your head up there is a light at the end of this tunnel 💕your doing great Judy .❤
Yu’d be fine Judy..its just a phase of toddler life..been watching you since J-bear .,you’re doing great..much love to you..
Hi Judy! The Life Application Study Bible worked for me. It’s easy to read because of all the translations written per verse. The translations are easy to read as well. Hope this can help.😊
Happy Birthday too all!!
Omg then I've been definitely watching you guys for over 10 bc i remember you prego! Happy birthday mia & kiera!!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The easiest version of the Bible for me for beginners is NLT. If u need more explanation to understand more, I always cross check MSG or AMP version. But I do like to read NKJV first since it is the most closest to the past writing. Hope that helps :)
Jesus peace be upon him is a man, a Prophet. God can never be human.
“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Number 23:19 NKJV
Read the Quran

Happy birthday Miya and Keira! My favorite memories are the everything 2 dawwas store and I present to you... So many happy memories. Thanks for sharing a piece of your lives with us. Hope all is well.
Hi Judy happy Saturday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
I bought grapes at Haggens in Stanwood for $17!!!! I almost had an accident in my pants, but I felt to guilty to put them back lol
3:42 girl. My daughter is the SAME way .... She's 4 now 😭😭😭 we still having trouble too...
We found out that just leaving her in her room works best. She still puts up a fight but not nearly as bad!! She also knows she's allowed to talk but not to much or to loud!
My little one is autistic as well, so bed time has always been hard!
Judy do you think that Bella is so attached to you because she didn’t have the chance to get really close to mama like the other girls!? I can just picture mama being with Bella all the time and being another mom to her and Bella wanting to go see mama all the time like the other girls. I wonder if that would have changed anything. I know they have auntie Mel too. And auntie Mel is amazing. I think it was just different with mama.
Me and my husband had been dealing with that with our 2 year old not wanting to sleep in her room 😩 climbing in our bed crying for water or food when it's 3am lol but we had to set some rules and what we did that worked was one day she was sleeping so nice and it was midnight we woke her up pretended crying and keeping her up and she was very upset and we told her that's how we felt when she would wake up multiple times at night and finally she saw that didn't like it and now she only wakes up some nights maybe 1 time but it has improved so much
Smart showing her from your perspective!
Love that you Benji suggested reading the bible ❤ Judy Proverbs or the Psalms is a great place to start so much wisdom!
Italian sodas look delicious! Never had one, now I’m going to have to try it lol 💜
Ate Judy, the shorter hair looks really good on you. Also, you've been glowing lately :)
Judy were also heading back to church soon, I love the New Living Translation ❤ NLT
Omg I need that real talk in the beginning , I’m going threw the same with my baby , n my best friend always tells me to ask a doctor , because her son is quiet n sleeps like a dream , my son on the other hand never sleeps and is rambunctious, every baby is Diffrent , it’s a struggle but we got this , mama knows best
Like you said Judy everything is only for a season. Bella bear is just seeing what she can get away with lol and she loves her mommy!! Not a bad thing at all ❤ hilarious how benji throws in sexy time randomly when yall are talking about parenting and the bible 😂😂
Benji sneaking the comment lmao 7:05 😅
What worked for me was letting my 2 year old decorate her own bedroom. She was more inclined to stay in her bedroom rather than scream to come into mine!
One of my twins is like this! She is sooooo attached and when I leave her room she hits the walls, screams, falls to the floor. It’s so sad, hard, and frustrating. I think it’s normal though. Hang in there!
Lol at you needing a translator for the King James Version Bible 😂 don’t we all though! Try TPT or MSG translations…I love them both!
Watcher since before kids ❤
You have five children and doing a phenomenal job!! Babies are babies, all different personalities!
Judy you should look into the NiV bible Benji mentioned, but also “The Message”
Not sure why i cant comment on the birthday vlog but my favourite moment of the twins would be when they wake up from their naps and be talking to each other and exchanging their stuffed toys😂 also the best moment was when Benji was trying to find out who tore the princess book and both blamed Barbie😂
For real though the Best Bible to get as a beginner is a CSB study Bible and just pray for knowledge and understanding when reading definitely has helped me
Sending your family so much love💗 I pray you get passed it, this too shall pass🙏🏼 been watching you for years. Now I have met a half filo man who is the man of my dreams🥹❤️ you guys are inspiring💗 love your family dynamic🤗
I struggled also when reading the King James Bible until I started watching the coffee and Bible hour show they really help you to understand the word and I think y’all are doing an amazing job as parents love the vlogs
‘The Story’ is the Bible in one seamless story. I’ve been in the process of reading through it for the first time. Highly recommend.
I’ve been gone from this channel for 3 years 🥺 I’ve missed so much & the 3 oldest spund so different now
I use to struggle trying to read the king james version(kjv) then i tried new king james version(nkjv), NIV. but the day i read the new living translation(NLT) i haven't changed since then. I just love it. ❤ if you want to understand a bible verses better you can look up a specific verse on amplified bible specifically amplified classic bible.
Jesus peace be upon him is a man, a Prophet. God can never be human.
“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Number 23:19 NKJV
Read the Quran
Had my DQ Oreo Icecream cake for my 13th bday… kinda miss it after all these years😂😂
I’m with you Judy, going to church will help and reading the Bible is the best book to read❤ like Benji said 👍
Blessings to you all!
If your child needs a psychologist. My child needs an exorcism. 🤣 no lie
