God bless you. I am older, and look back at the challenges that God has sent me. I raised four children, three with special needs, or as I like to say, high maintenance. I was a single working mom with a limited support system and in those days, a lot of criticism. The one thing that got me through was my belief that God will take care of me. Looking back, he really gave me a roller coaster ride. Looking back with gratitude, you just do what you have to do, when you have to do it. Even when you don’t know what or how.
That is such an encouragement! 💕
Watching your child have a seizure is the scariest thing I have ever seen. My daughter was finally officially diagnosed at 18. She’s 27 now and has been seizure-free and doing great for several years. There is hope in the journey of epilepsy!
@@karlacase5755YES YES YES AMEN AMEN AMEN, they CAN BE SEIZURE FREE!!!! Amen!
I remember when my husband had a seizure completely out of the blue a 10 years ago. You are right, it is terrifying. He ended up having 2 seizures about a year and a half apart. He was put on medication after the second seizure and hasn't had another since.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Your new hair cut is perfect on you!! Praying for your son and thank you for awsome content continually
Thank you so much!!
You are amazing. I so appreciate your faithfulness. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Hang in there.
Thank you so much! So glad to have such a sweet community here! 💕
❤🧡💛 Epilepsy - my husband & I let a friend live in our tiny house with us for about a year + 4 months, starting near the end of 2022. He's an adult male. We didn't know he still has active epilepsy until he had a full seizure one night. He hides his struggle, so I had no idea. All I could do was stand next to his rigidly jumpy body and think, "If Jesus saw the boy laying on the ground in seizure and foaming at the mouth, and if Jesus wasn't alarmed & simply told it to go, then I'm not gonna be scared, I refuse to be scared by what Im seeing." I didn't even know back then if his memory would ever come back or if I was saddled with a man with permanent memory loss. Thank God I found out that his memory and awareness always returns eventually. He later explained the attacks pass & he personally doesn't ever want anyone to call an ambulance. Just had to share, don't feel alone. ❤ Cristina in Texas 💙
So sorry to hear of your son's diagnosis! Praying for you all! Our family is going through things that I would never have anticipated. I keep reminding myself that God's got this! Prayers appreciated! 💜💛🧡
Household management is crazy. I'm constantly trying to make it better. I have dealt with a child with dyslexia. Having structure and calmness helps. I like using the crockpot, it's my helper. I write out a whole menu for the whole week. This helps a lot. There seems to never be enough time. My son had the same issue but he did outgrow it. Hang in there and God bless u as u go through all of these cycles. 🙏
Thanks for sharing!! Such an encouragement!💕
Your new haircut looks great!
Oh thank you!
I too have been going through trial after trial this year and leaning on God through it all. Meal planning was the first “system” I tackled when life happened too.
My tricks are M-F we eat the same breakfast and same lunch everyday and I just prep it all on Sunday mornings. So if it’s an egg bake and sandwiches I make it all and just keep it in the fridge.
For kids lunches we have 3 compartment tupperwares- the big portion has a carb and protein, medium has fruit of veg, and small has a treat. (This week they chose pancakes and chicken nuggets, grapes or apples, and Oreos). They can also grab up to 3 snacks from the cupboard (like applesauce or chips) The kids get to pick what they want within reason on our drive home from school on Wednesdays and it eliminates me thinking.
For dinners I made a month meal plan and we just restart each new month. All the meals are ridiculously easy unless I know I’m going to have time to cook- like Mondays are pasta and if it’s busy we are doing spaghetti with frozen meatballs but one magical time I had energy to make lasagna. Fridays are always bagged salad, frozen pizza and wings, Saturdays are always frozen veggie burgers and fries. I have next weeks meals planned on Wednesday nights and others can input if they want something else, my only requirement is the meals have to have either a fruit or veg. I also told everyone if they want something else they are more than welcome to cook for the family and that pretty much shut down complaints. (My kids are only 3 and 5 but they will make applesauce, frozen waffles and sausage for the family if they really don’t want what I made 😂).
Any additional grocery requests are due Thursday mornings since I shop my lunch hour that day and if it’s not on my list they have to wait another week. The list is posted on the fridge so everyone can add things throughout the week.
Honestly it was a fair amount of up front work making the monthly plan but once it was done I have been so relieved because I don’t have to make decisions day after day and week after week.
Also I love your new haircut!
Phew! You have got it figured out with the meal planning! Thanks for sharing your system! 💕
Thanks for this video and your family update. I'm glad you're on the side of moving forward. At my age of 71, last month, I had a first time seizure. Yes, so scary. Until I have all my tests to find out the cause, I have different ways to take care of myself. Thanks again especially for the example of faith.
Praying for you! It is scary! 💕
You look gorgeous! That color and style are great on you. You have beautiful eyes also. I like the analogy of building the plane while we fly it. Praying for your family and all the stuff going on. 🙏
Marybeth, I love your hair cut!🥰.
Prayers for your son and your family.
Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you so much!
Prayers for your son and family. Seizures can be very scary. I love how well you share your faith. Take good care. ❤ You look very pretty today!
Our son was diagnosed with benign rolandic epilepsy as a child and thankfully out grew it. My heart is right there with you because I know that feeling of being so afraid and so helpless. What a wonderful reminder of God’s comfort and that we can trust in him.
Also really like your new haircut!
Awww, thanks! And I'm so glad your son grew out of his epilepsy. Thanks so much for your comment!
Praying for you and your son and whole family. Praying for your son’s healing. God has you all. Blessings
Getting most of my groceries by walmart pick up is the only way I've been able to meal plan.
So sorry about the experience with your son! God bless your family.
Love that!
I love grocery pick up. I need to use it more. I like that it's creating jobs, while they're putting in self checkout
The best thing that ever happened as far as meal planning goes was when we switched to carnivore. No planning necessary, just beef,butter, bacon and eggs for us. We've never felt better and the weight fell off with no effort
Wow! I’m so glad that has helped you!
Oh wow! I’d love to talk in person about this topic. I’m glad you have peace about your Son’s diagnosis.
I wish I’d known about the solo cup/cereal idea when I was raising my family! I truly appreciate simplicity💘
Going back to the taking out the garbage. How it has 8 steps.
It makes me think of the nursery rhyme.
1,2 buckle my shoes
3,4 open the door
5,6 pick up stick
7,8 lay them straight
9,10 do it again
The child learned to count and do a very common house chore back when we had to heat our homes with wood.
We should probably do similar more modern nursery rhymes to help our children learn chores.
Praying for your son and your family. We’ve missed you, but family first! God bless
I'm sorry to hear of your son's illness but really happy to hear that it has brought you into deeper relationship with the Lord. (Not that it was the nicest way to achieve that outcome.)
I can remember once being given the task of writing down all the steps required to make a bed. Oh boy! I think it ran into two pages.
Welcome back to RUclips. Thank you for your honesty. You bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Just FYI, the keto diet was originally used to help with childhood epilepsy. If you didn’t already know that, you may want to research it. Generally, doctors treat with medication. I hope all goes well with your son.
Thanks! He is doing so good!
I was a special education teacher and had a student whose seizures were very well controlled with a precise keto diet.
Prayers for your family🙏 I admire your strength and faith.
Love your hair. It looks great at that length! Sorry for what you’ve been going through.🙏🏻
Really like your hir and you look so pretty today.
I’m so sorry to hear about your son’s health scare. I have another domain for you . All the additives and dyes in the foods we buy cause our family migraines and behavior issues. Once we figured this out it was so much easier and less scary for us.
I work in EC too, and I love how you used the domains to create your home domains.
Total 💡moment! Thanks so much for watching!
Have missed your videos but totally understand! Prayers for you and family!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this wisdom! I really resonated with it so much! I’m exactly the type of person who gets analysis paralysis. And also the person who doesn’t take into account all that goes into the tasks I put on my to-do list, which causes me to place unrealistic expectations of myself. I look forward to hearing more of this content!
God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, and experience! We're with you in the onetrialafter another department. I will echo back to you... keep fighting the good fight ❤
Thank you! I need to hear that encouragement too, we’re all in this together. 💕
Cute haircut!
I have major major problems with overwhelm and confusion with household management- I've started to do better by actually getting out of my head, and just telling myself to keep moving- if I get tired of a task (dishes, laundry) I shift to a different job, then come back again when I'm bored of that! I'm also trying to develop a list of "always/never" standards/ boundaries for myself.
Love the “always/never” idea! Thanks for sharing!
Yes I completely forgot a doc appt for my kiddo yesterday 😂plate is full. Lord have mercy
I have been there! Hang in there mama, it won’t always be like this. 💕
Subscribed! Found you through The Minimal Mom and started with that paperwork collab. BOOM!!!!! Almost have our system completed and then ready to move through the rest of the house. Priorities, analysis, action steps…. And grace. Great video!
God should be first
Haircut looks nice.
Love your hair, you look great
Thank you so much 😀
I missed you! You look so good. It’s been a really challenging year on our end and some of your words about giving yourself grace from past videos really helped during the ride. It make three goes to finish watching this but it’s a reward for trying to get back on track…..
Outstanding
I shop without a list or meal plan. But I love your videos so I’m watching anyway.
😲 I would never get dinner on the table. Thanks so much for watching! 💕
thank for let us now what is going on my prays are with you and your family and i hope you have a great day !
Thanks so much! 💕
Amen!!
Amen! "He is there for us, He will provide for us." Just this morning, I was praying that God would help me to have faith more powerful than my fear. You are going through a tough time now and I'm praying for you. Be encouraged though, this video topic is so exciting, I'll be along in the ride with you, even though tge challenge you gave to think through some of my own domains feels hard in itself. 🤦🏼♀️
And your haircut looks great on you! 😍
May the Lord bring you rivers of peace as you obey His commands. 🙏❤️
We are going to talk more about the domains in the coming weeks. It’s a process, we’ll get through it together. 💕
Building the plane 🤣
Much of my life has been regulated by attending or teaching school, Everything was structured for me. Bells signaled beginnings and endings. The maintenance people cleaned. Then I got married. Then I had kids. It's just sinking in that homemaking is nothing like that. A man [or woman] plans his [her] way, but the LORD directs his [her] way Proverbs16:9. I still have to plan (plan A, B, and C) and work and depend on Him to direct and provide.
Linda! Our Sunday school class just takes about plans for the future as we work through the Proverbs….so timely! Thank you!
You look beautiful in that top!!
Thank you so much
❤️🙏
Man, life is just a struggle... Maybe you could call it Strategic Struggling, lol, I don't know but I like coming up with marketing ideas. Need more ideas of what you're going for.
😂 strategic struggling. Love it!
