  • Hey faithful friends! Welcome back to How to Faith a Life, today's video is a Q&A about my life and faith! As a Christian RUclipsr, I think it's really important to do all I can to be as real as possible with you guys- giving you bible study videos and such but also sharing just real life stuff like marriage, parenting, my testimony, etc. In today's Q&A I share all that!
    SO, I posted and asked for your questions on the community tab and I try to go through most the questions and next monday we will talk more about my testimony about singleness and dating. But, today we discuss how I became a Christian youtuber, more info about ministry life and stay at home mom feelings, my testimony, the names of our kids, and our hopes/plans for more babies.

    Father, use this christian testimony video to bless SOMEONE who needs to hear about You. May my story of my life be a seed planted. From the testimony of how we named our kids to the testimony of how I became a Christian youtuber, may I glorify You! When people hear my christian testimony video, may they turn to worship You! And when they see the testimony of my life and my testimony of Your story in my life, may they see YOU, not me. Amen

    Like so many others, I found your videos by chance and immediately became enchanted by your delight in The Lord. He is truly using you to reach others and bring them closer to Him. It is patently obvious that your entire reason for doing this ministry is to be a living testimony and spiritual teacher so I had to stop and take a minute before closing this tab to say thank you. Your passion for Christ is so evident and that pulls people in to wanting more. "I want what she has!" You don't know me so it won't really impact you when I say that I've prayed for you but that is not something I have been doing in my life the last few years. After a severe trauma, I found it impossible to go to Him in prayer. It has only been since watching your videos, which has led to actually sitting down and reading my Bible, studying His Word, that I have finally begun to let my tongue speak what my heart says. Praying for you was a prayer of thanksgiving. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

    Large families are totally worth it! Ian & I were blessed with 7, and would have welcomed more, had the Lord given them to us. As it is, I was 46 when our youngest was born! Big families were not fashionable even when we got married in 1982, but we wanted to trust God for our family. We never had a lot, materially, but we were abundantly blessed through our children. I still say having 7 children is not three times as bad as having two. They keep one another company, and have lots of great times together, especially if you homeschool them. It's a blessing to me to hear of young moms like you who would welcome a large family of children.

    Thank you for your honesty. So often I wonder who people really are outside of RUclips and if they truly believe the things they are presenting. I always appreciate how honest you are in videos and I always feel like if we ever met in person we would sit and talk forever over a cup of tea! 🥰 I used to have a small group of girls I met with to Bible study and I miss that dearly a lot. Listening to your videos encourages my heart so much.

You are a wonderful example of living the Christian life with all it's ups and downs in a way that truly glorifies God. You display a maturity that is beautiful to see. I've watched lots of your vidios, and love to see the passion you have for Jesus and the word. Long may it continue. I live in Darlington England.

    The first video I watched of yours was about Christians and polluting and how we should steward the earth and then I found Jesus for mommies and I've been hooked ever since lol. I love your explanation of marriage 😅 I also would love a large family, Im 'old' now so i dont know how many more kids I'll have, but im on number 4 right know lol (and I feel like that is a lot of kids haha) of course I did take an 11 year break. Your testimony is beautiful 🥰 i didn't truly know the Lord until 2018, and I have tried to reflect Jesus to my kids, and share stories about Jesus and make sure they know the Gospel and that the Lord loves them. I never thought it was sinking in for them until my oldest (he is 16) had an article in his world religion class that said Jesus was a man and a carpenter's son but never said he was the Son of God and my son was like thisbisnt right mom, why doesn't it talk about how Jesus is God? Which really touched me so deeply. I praise God that he recognized that! It also led to a very serious discussion about how not everyone knows the truth of the Bible. I pray for my kids' salvation every day! Sorry, got off on a tangent there! I cant wait for part 2!

I wish that she has passed that name on to me, but she didn’t 😢. Thank you for sharing your story in this video.

    ok.... I have stumbled upon your channel about a week ago and have officially binge watched. I recently started studying Gods word in a creative way and you have some amazing ideas. I am now obsessed with bible supplies to make my studying more fun and interactive. Thanks for your uplifting personality. For quiet a few years I have contemplated on beginning a youtube channel. I have lots of content that I could share because we have a farm and so many projects going constantly but I really wanted something that I could witness to the world. You have inspired me to be confident in sharing to others Gods word and incorporating a little small town farmgirls life in a very chaotic world! Be in pray with me in this next season of life that I follow His will. His plan and purpose for my little family is far better than I can ever imagine. Can't wait to see what God has planned.

    I love how you spoke of the need for a saving faith. Its absolutely necessary. Sin, Repentance, Trusting in Jesus, transforming by Spirit at conversion, and growing in holiness day by day (sanctification). I do hope you use your platform to post a Gospel video and include your testimony clip, for those coming to your channel. There are many in the church who do not know Christ, and are not actually saved. I hope this generation helps reach everyone with the Gospel and rejoice in the Gospel among those who are saved.

Anyways, I'm so happy I'm here.

My to pregnancy went well I have a now 36 yr old daughter and 30 yr old twins/triplets we found out at 14weeks we were having twins but after 8 ultrasounds we never saw a third baby. 3 weeks early and I couldn’t push was in labor 21hrs and they then found the third baby and it was still born so ended up having a c sec. Anyway all three girls are married and the twins have kids. But or oldest has overian issues . Anyway I can relate with you.

    It has always been my goal to have a large family. We currently have 3 wonderful children! However, my husband has always had some medical issue that he felt kept him from being able to fully interact with his children and therefore he felt it wasn’t fair to have more due to that. He struggled first with a dying gallbladder, but no one would test it because he was so young. Now(for the past 2.5yrs) he’s been dealing with chronic migraines daily due to a car wreck. Praise the Lord he is alive though!

It’s shocking how many people just drive the cars until something goes wrong and then go “oh I’m supposed to be doing something to maintain this giant complicated machine?” 😱🤦🏼‍♀️
