- ENCOURAGEMENT BELOW but first, don't forget to check out bitly.ws/ya2o (we shortened the link so it didn't take up a lot of the description) for those incredible FREE resources from Summit Ministries we were telling you guys about in this video!
Today's encouragement is short but important... Consistency pays off. It would have been easy for me to throw in the towel and say "i don't have time to write an encouraging message.". I'm sure you all would have understood and we would have moved on with our lives... But what if that small act.. of taking 3-5 minutes and sharing what I'm learning... had a massive impact on both you and me? You see you don't get from where you are, to where you want to be without taking a step (metaphor). So don't be belittle those little habits that have a huge impact on who you become. Create discipline and consistency in your life, especially when it comes to prioritizing the Lord!
Love,
Chad & Tori

We miss and love yall! Micah says hello! Will be back and able to respond to comments as soon as we have a bit more time... but leave us a comment to read later on if you would like!
Miss you guys too! Hope you get some rest and I don't know if you saw, but I sent you a link to a video of me saying hi to you guys
Miss you too ❤
Greetings to Micah 🥰🥰❤️
I like how good of a listener Chad is, listens and doesn’t interrupt, and gives good insight, and isn’t saying Yeah Yeah yeah the whole time 🙌🏻
This is so needed. My son is 17 and I have just been worried that he will be going to University soon. The world can be cruel and with everything going on in the world I have been worried and I heard God literally say the same words, "He was Mine before he was yours!" I was like oh wow!! That makes so much sense and I have been at peace since then. ♥️God is so so good and loving.
Your comment “even if you dont know Jesus” hit me hard, I didn’t grow up with a relationship with him and i’ve been craving it lately. This video gave me that push, love you guys!
That is amazing sister 🎉
❤️❤️
We love you❤️
Amazing ! 🥹
🎉🎉❤
Also, just a quick note... Please do not fall for any spam, or scam comments pretending to be us.. comments from us will 1. NEVER ask for your information. 2. will ALWAYS have a check mark by our name so you know it's really us. We love yall and don't want you to fall for any of those scam attempts that honestly YT needs to do a better job blocking.

My baby boy is 4 weeks today. The whole first two weeks I would not sleep at all through the night because I was terrified of him not breathing. Multiple family members reminded me that God loves him more than I do and that he is watching over him. And that changed my whole mindset and brought me such peace. So glad you are talking about this ❤️
My first baby was fussy for most of the day/night. It was so hard. It was also in the midst of lockdown. I suffered from postpartum anxiety, and I held misled perfectionist standards. The first year of her life was so tough, I can honestly say that I don't remember most of it.
As a new mom, know you are doing amazing. Each day is different. Each child is different. Trust the instinct that God has given you for your baby. God's with you always. I'm praying for you all 🙏
I needed to hear this, after coming back from a Christian college where I’m constantly encouraged to spend quiet time with God back home I have struggled so much with this. I’m so focused on the fact that I’m not reading my Bible like I was then fixate on it and how that negatively affects me. So thank you so much
I love that you use the word "rhythm". So much more gentle than routine. I am going to use this word instead in my daily life with my little one
It’s a learning curve to add a little person to your family. Have grace. No one knows what to except. Each baby and experience is different.
This is deep! The message many people should hear. Parenting involves so much trial and error, but you’ll never understand until you experience those moments. I’m an older adult and you guys have taught me so much. So proud of you both.
I’m 100% here with you. My baby is 2 months old and I’ve never doubted myself more. I’ve never been this anxious and exhausted. Thanks for sharing this video and reminding us to lean on God
As a first time mom to a 3 month old, I have never related to a video more. Motherhood especially is such a humbling experience! I have felt so much fear and worry that I haven’t done enough or been enough for my baby, but it’s so true that we need to first surrender ourselves and our children to the lord because we are first His! His peace is so powerful especially in the midst of a very challenging time. Thank you so much for this video!
First time mom to a 5 month old. Everything you said is SO TRUE and SO NORMAL! Children are a humbling gift from the Lord. I love the honesty and I love that you guys aren’t coming on here with all of these recommendations of baby items to make parenthood easier. Babies are hard no matter what products/routines you use. What matters is what works for you. I loved listening to your new parent testimony. You’re doing a great job and more restful days will come. ❤️
God wouldn’t put you through it if he didn’t think you could do it 😊 best little mantra to remind yourself when you struggle or have a struggling thought
Also just know your struggles are valid! and every mom has most likely gone through. You are not alone😘
I am not a mom but this video was such a blessing for me. I am a new graduate as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and have been dealing with health issues of my own and I hadn’t realized that God is actually humbling me in my calling. I had been realizing that I now have empathy and more knowledge in certain things because I’m going through it but felt so sad when I admitted that not everything was rainbows and butterflies with my own health. And crazy enough I don’t feel peace when I’m not spending intentional time with Lord! But when we do come to Him he give us that peace that surpasses all understanding in the midst of whatever we are going through!
Thank you both for your vulnerability and confession! Praying for this season of your lives as new parents!
Not to put y’all on a pedestal, but your type of love and relationship with each other and with God, and your Godly community are some of the biggest things I aspire to have.
This year for me has been all about developing a real relationship for the first time with God, and it’s been a trip.
I look to you guys for encouragement sometimes, because I know it’s a process getting where you want to be and becoming who God wants you to be.
You guys are a great reminder of what patience and prayer can do for your life.
I pray the Lord continues blessing you guys, and your family and friends. Thank you for what you’re both doing here. It’s amazing to know and see people like you, and sometimes it feels unreal.
It may seem too good to be true, but I know you guys are the real deal, because you rely on God so heavily for everything and it shows.
God bless you guys and baby Micah ❤
This is a video for every new mama, or every new parent in general! Being a mama, is the most rewarding and humbling experience ever. Our little man is 9 weeks old and I sometimes find myself, in the midst of the sleep deprivation, getting frustrated with the fact that I’m getting frustrated/irritable when he doesn’t sleep or is fussy and I can’t get him to stop. I feel like Im failing as a mom because I don’t handle everything with ease lol Then my husband comes home from work (I work from home full time while caring for the baby) and I feel like I need a break, but then feel guilty for wanting a break because I love being a mom and love my sweet boy more than I can even explain.
From one new parent to another, just know that you are heard, you are loved and you are doing a great job! Baby boy is so lucky to have you both! 💛
Love this! I feel like all new parents go through this because you truly don’t know what it’s like to have children until you have them. Thank you for sharing because we all go through this but it feels like no one talks about it!
Gurlll, I think you made this video for me. I’m currently going through that right now. Thank you for sharing ❤
My favorite video y'all have ever posted, and I've been watching for years. So profound. God bless y'all with healing and joy! Merry Christmas!
Two daughters 15 and 19…. Can I tell you I needed to hear that just as much as you did! “They are first his” wow!! I am a huge worrier especially when it comes to fear of the world around them. My oldest is at a Christian college interning to become a women’s pastor… she is wonderful and loves the Lord so I’m not worried about her but the people around her in this world scare me. I still can not sleep if she doesn’t text me at night when she gets home. I’m constantly worrying if she’s going somewhere by herself. I literally exhaust myself 😒 I will be praying on this for you and me 🤍🙏🏻
I love this side of you guys. It’s so honest and needed amongst all the people putting up a front on social media. ❤merry Christmas y’all!
Missed you guys so much, not been early enough in the past few weeks to catch up with you all with my new work schedule but gosh I wish I could tell you the sheer JOY I have seeing y'all with your little one in my inbox, I still can't believe it! Crazy that your son is a Godly reminder to all of us - that little boy is already teaching so many, even those many years his senior! Love you guys, have a wonderful xmas if we dont see yall before then! xx
The most vulnerable I have ever seen y’all, soo refreshing especially as a new mom who is being humbled myself!
My son is 2 years old and I feel so identified with your words. I wish I would have recognised I was feeling that way when he was 5 weeks old. This is the kind of motherhood we need to see: one that depends completely on the Lord ❤
I relate to this so much! I think in a culture of FOMO we want to be everywhere and everything for everyone but we can't... we need to take inventory of the most important things... because honestly I have also neglected my devotional time and used excuses of being too busy, thank you for the godly reminder to get back in the word! God bless you and your beautiful family!
i just needed to hear this, i dont have kids but i know i have to surrender my anxiety, fears, thoughts, panic to God, and as you said, it is not that easy but i know i will do it! ♥️ thanks for being such a beautiful testimony ☺️
Wow this is right on time to me. My son is 4 weeks old and I’m very happy that my journey is along with you. Both podcasts and RUclips have been such a blessing to me and encouragement that I’m not walking alone. You both are such a blessing in this season of my life. I can relate 100% to what Tori is going through and wonderful reminders of God and the scripture! May God bless you both abundantly ❤
A shot for each time Tori said “ya” when Chad was talking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love you guys!!! ❤️
Also a reminder that God ALWAYS answers our prayers, even if He gives us an answer we don't want! Even if He says "no" or "not yet" He is always faithful to hear and answer and give us the grace to walk through anything He does not take away. Even when He does not allow that rocking chair-to-crib transfer to go smoothly, He is giving you an answer, even though it's not the answer you were looking for. He always has a BETTER plan for you.
Thank you for this!!! I woke up exhausted with my almost 4 month old. Haven't spent time with the Lord as much as I should and I know I need him everyday! I also had higher expectations that weren't met and I blamed myself.
I wish I had been able to see this when I had my first newborn. I think a lot of people online try to make the journey seem easier than it is and when you struggle with sleep deprivation it can be hard to watch. Tori, give yourself time and you’ll begin to feel more like yourself again. Wishing you guys a happy and peaceful Christmas!
This video is so on time for me. Thank you Tori and Chad!! ♥️ I'm going through a very difficult time in this season and this message gives me hope. God bless you both and Merry Christmas! I'm so thankful for y'all 🤍🌲🥲
As a first time mom, comparison- whether it comes from other moms or even books and Instagram pages, it's just not worth any energy. I don't follow any self help mom pages on how to make your baby sleep at night, because babies go through so many phases and not one of them means I'm a bad mom. Help from sources is great, but even good can become bad if it keeps you from enjoying the present with your child that God gave you. It is true, that both moms and babies are learning in those first few months. I did things that people recommended and then things they didn't, but I did what worked for me. That's all that matters, God will come through for you! There is no perfect way to parent.❤️
This is so something I needed to hear. I’m not a parent. But it made me realise how badly I need more undivided God time where I just surrender to him and open my heart and soul to his presence and just spend time with him. Thank you for always being so vulnerable with us.💛 praying for more moments of that Godly peace.💛
Amazing!! I'm not a mum, but have been struggling with anxiety and low self confidence the last couple of weeks. Indeed, fixing my attention on everything that is good and God-given is what's necessary to regain the right perspective. Also: speaking words of life out loud, since life and death both are in the power of the tongue. And letting go, surrendering... Still working on that :) Enjoy this first Christmas with the three of you!❤
Thank you so much for your transparency on this, and your humility. It’s sooo glorifying to God.
I have an 8 month old... before I had her I was a nanny to babies for many years. I KNEW that being a parent was hard. I think almost every mother I worked for, I’d have seen her crying about something to do with her baby(ies) at least once. But I didn’t fully understand HOW it was hard. I now understand why those mothers were crying.
Being a parent has been way easier than I thought in some ways, and hard in ways I had never imagined. Mentally, it’s been the most difficult. Comparison is a huge thing. I try to never compare my baby to other babies... but I compare myself as a mother a loooot. Need to work on this with the Lord. Thank you guys, for being so open, honest and glorifying to God. It’s quite cathartic listening to you both, having just recently been through what you guys are going through. Thank you ❤
I needed to hear this... I've been dealing with struggles and I love how raw you all are being. Thank you for reminding me to keep my focus on Christ and the Heavenly!
I hope it’s going to get better for u x
May God bless u 🫶🏾
This really resonates - my first baby was beyond fussy, she would just scream and scream and scream. It was so hard. I learned so much in that new mom season that I never would’ve learned without having a baby. To be honest she’s still the child that refines me the most - it never stops. Parenthood is so so so refining. Praying for you guys, it’s a lot but in the end it makes us make like Christ if we let it ❤
Tori, you are simply amazing! You've learned the most incredible lesson with incredible speed. God is always with us, even when we can't see him, and he's always holding us when we stumble. Prayer is the answer, but sometimes you need to think about the questions you're asking! No matter how much you've observed, read, consulted, and learned before the baby comes, once the baby arrives your learning curve is near vertical, no matter how well you prepare! Experience is always different from expectations. But you are running faster than anyone I've ever seen, and God is running right along side you encouraging you.
I remember reading power of a praying parent when i was younger because my mom read it! Just wanted to say You're doing amazing, Tori and We love you❤️
Honestly Tori , I went thought the same thing. When I see parents now I’m just so smiley around them and the first thing I say is “ your doing so well mama”.
I needed to hear this today I’ve been struggling as a mama. Thank you BOTH so much you really touched my heart 💖🙏
Wow, I just want to thank you both for this video and your vulnerability. Admitting when we are not doing okay or being fully obedient to the Lord is so difficult, yet He remains gentle and patient. I shared some of these convictions and I couldn’t help but cry listening, I too put the world on my shoulders and forget that only God had the strength to handle that. ❤️
This resonated....oh so much! We have a 5 1/2 month old and I truly thought motherhood would come so easy to me. I LOVE babies and loved on friends' kids so often. But then we had our own and it humbled us beyond belief. Parenthood is HARD! Giving over complete control over to the Lord is HARD! Especially with raging hormones, lack of sleep and all. I've heard it so often....you have to have open hands and a lot of grace. And it's so true! But also to completely depend on the Lord.
Really, truly such a good message and soooo relatable. I felt very understood as a mom, knowing exactly how you’ve felt. But really loved this perspective and lesson you learned. Really beautiful and true. Merry Christmas fam!
OMG yes. Mentally ready but not emotionally. That is precisely what I felt when I became a mom. I have read, watched and purchased every damn thing I thought I needed, and everything truly came in handy, thank God. BUT I didn't make space for my emotions. I knew I would be exhausted for example, but I didn't know that I would have to *live through* the exhaustion, the anxiety, isolation, fear, and frustration. I wasn't prepared to breathe through these unpleasant emotions on the daily. Truly, as you said, it's probably action that separates knowledge from wisdom. I'm still in shock at how unprepared I was despite all of the preparation I did. You don't know parenting until you get in. My boy is over a year and a half now, and as time passes, I look at the life I had before him and I can't help but think how trivial it was. Having kids is brutally rewarding.
This video was so relatable! So thankful to be a part of the Masters family, so thankful that you guys share your confessions and are so vulnerable and real to us. I really appreciate it. I love when Chad mentioned the scripture about being pressed, but not crushed; I know that season I’m living that season and it’s just so relatable. I’m so thankful. I love you guys. Blessed be your family. Amen.
AHHHHH i've never been this early! Tori & Chad, you two are one of the most (if not THE most) inspiring, encouraging, soul lifting and God-fearing couples i know. praying that the Lord would continue to be your foundation, that He would cover you in peace and unrelenting joy during the rest of this pregnancy and new journey. "Micah is first His and not mine," i got CHILLS when you said that! anyone could tell that you both truly and fully love Micah with all of your being, and that you both genuinely seek & love God. 🤍🤍🤍
This was our experience with our first child, and in a lot of ways still is even thought he’s about to turn 7. Thank you for sharing, and keep leaning into the Lord as He teaches (sometimes the same things over and over) on your journey.
I literally asked you the other day in your question box, Tori, about how your routine/personal time with God is going. This is timely- I definitely needed the reminder to take some alone time with God. This week has been so busy and I've been so stressed, that I forget to be still and experience God's peace.
Parenthood is the most humbling, refining experience. I think it is the most holy work and makes people the most Christlike, more than any other life situation. It never stops. 2 years in and I still have all of your feelings everyday. It’s a daily, moment by moment dependence on the Lord, every day of parenthood.
I am a mama of five. My eldest,
Now thirteen, is high functioning autistic and has mental health needs including self harm. My youngest is three months old and i currently feed her via an ng tube into her stomach as she was born tiny after being growth restricted and despite all my efforts and experience, I haven’t been able to make enough milk and exclusively breast feed her, and she nearly died of starvation and is now making a slow slow comeback.
I am a full time home schooling mama.
And I have been humbled over and over and over - everything has changed for me through motherhood, including and especially me.
I had to start out releasing the fantasy child I wanted my firstborn to be, and throwing myself into adoring a neurodiverse child.
I exclusively breastfed two babies and got cocky - then learnt that breastfeeding is NOT easy and have a ton of experience struggling with that with my younger three, and working at it so so hard.
Almost everything I now do with my kids has garnered massive judgement from others - from what I “let them do” to how I handle “discipline”, bedtimes, routines, relationships, even finances. I am basically a pariah and now so so used to it. Humbled, totally doused in my saviour’s love, his grace alone keeps me going.
My eldest doesn’t go to bed until 4 am. My toddler wakes early. My baby needs scheduled tube feeds to survive. I don’t sleep. I have no “me” time -
Zero. People say they “don’t know how I do it”, but what choice do I have? Abandon them? Give up? Nope. Do I get overwhelmed? Yes. So do I still learn things every day, after fourteen years of parenthood including neurodiversity, two tongue ties, a tiny sick baby, marriage struggles, money struggles? Yes. But now I expect to. And now I place very little importance on what the detractors think of me and how I do motherhood.
I do everything different to “the book” - I have learnt to respond to my kids’ needs and my own intuition above all else - we have a messy, busy, imperfect, totally non instagrammable life.
However, many more than one person has commented to me how somehow our home of full of peace and I am full of peace.
God bless you - enjoy Micah. One day the only thing you will truly regret is not simply loving and enjoying every moment. Don’t beat up on yourself, and don’t listen to other people about how to raise your kid, including your former “perfectionist” self. X
Thank you for sharing this with us. I needed to hear this. Thank you for your confession. Thank you.
It was a good reminder of someone saying this somewhere that we give to much power to the sin buy turning it into this big thing and letting shame and guilt take over us instead of letting it go. Repent, confess and start all over until you fall down again.
Hope you get some rest and may God bring peace in your hearts. ♥
Merry Christmas to my favorite people. Love you all. Have a blessed day and rest of the week
I don’t know if y’all Will see this but I can totally relate. After I had my first born my anxiety and mom guilt was so bad it affected my relationship with my husband and others around me. My second baby has been soooo much better. I don’t go on social media or watch anything to do with kids getting hurt and it has helped me not be so fearful.
I also had to really learn to Trust God.
A few tips that have helped me with a fussy baby.
MAM pacifiers work way better then any other brand
Gas drops
And Having the baby in a bassinet (pack n play) next to my bed has helped me sleep instead of using the nursery.
I always enjoy your videos ❤
So well said Tori, just keep doing what you are doing. The Lord holds you in the palm of his hands
Thank you guys so much for sharing! Such a good reminder to spend undistracted time with Jesus and surrender the the people and things we love completely to Him! I already know both of you Tori and Chad are amazing parents and will continue to be amazing parents. Keep trusting the Lord with Micah and and He will give you wisdom and discernment on how to parent him in the best and godliest way possible! You guys rock and you’ve both got this. Praying for both of you now!
Oooohhhhh my God. ...av never heard someone say this before. I thought I was the only one. I remember feeling this exact thing.... But just to encourage you guys, it gets better. It really does, God's faithfulness is dependable
Such a beautiful video.. thanks for this! I am not a mother but this was still so relatable and informative. Your honesty is your strength. My cousin has a 3 month old and i just shared the video with her and she's soooo grateful!! Thanks a lot. Sorry for commenting so late but be sure I am watching all your videos as always!!
You'll take your time and cherish each moment with Jr. Masters, you'll so deserve it! Thank you for removing time and recording a video for us here. I'm loving the realistic journey you'll are showcasing,your humility touches me and reassures me so much!!
Sending in lots of love, respect and warm wishes!!
Merry Christmas in advance.. your first with Micah! Its a dream come true! ✨💕💝💖
Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail).
Psalms 55:22 AMP
I felt everything you were saying, even though my season looks different from yours (I'm not a new mom lol), but His wisdom, carries us through, no matter what we go through. Hallelujah!
I am 7 minutes in holding back tears! I relate to this so so much. I am a new mom too, my baby boy is 8 weeks old, and I have wrestled with the similar things. This is touching me, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Thank you for your openness & honesty.
You sharing your experience is helpful and very much appreciated!
Much love to you and your family. ❤
You guys are making the right choices. Boundaries are important, and I'm proud of you for resetting. God is your true guide. Continue listening to him always.
Thank you guys for your vulnerability it’s really eye opening for myself to be more aware in the areas I need to surrender to God..love y’all🤍
I love this video. I love you. I love the Lord. I love motherhood. Thank you for being so vulnerable. Please keep sharing!
Thank you for sharing! I truly needed to hear that! It was both humbling and encouraging, shared with love. Thank you!
I'm happy to see y'all upload.
Beautiful message, love and peace to you all. Imagine the world with influencers that spoke truth instead of trying to appear perfect. It sets unrealistic expectations for new moms who then get upset because they and their kids don’t look like what’s on IG/YT. If new moms had an influencer that was real and truthful it would be beautiful and beneficial to all. I pray you’ll be the influencer the world needs.
God bless you guys and I get smile on my face whenever I see you guys. You inspire many young boys and girls. Thank you
~ Tori, nothing shows more strength then showing your weakness/ vulnerability. You are real. The mindset you hold yourself to is so deeply thought out, and I can literally feel the at peace vibes you are filled with and that is how you are able to give it over to me, in parable to someone who has an orange and all he wants is apple juice, he can literally hold a gun to it and it won’t give him apple juice because there is only orange juice inside. The fact you were are to focus your mindset Tori, during the painful emotional times for you and give yourself that peace ( only you can give that to yourself) that in itself is the best self love you can give yourself. Self confidence comes thru making the right choices, especially when you have to push where it hurts, but instead of focusing on the price tag you focus on its value. The greater the value, the greater the price.
Thank you Tori:)
~ Chad, to be honest I want to tell you how much respect I have to you, the self control that you have inside is something you have had to really work hard to acquire that “muscle”. True strength is someone who can concour is toughest desires, especially with the amount of energy you have inside. You channel it. I watch how you Chad can sit beside Tori and not just remain silent but even actually listening to what she says, Tori is insane and her passion and honesty is real, and you too have a powerful passion but your silence and calmness you must have trained within yourself Chad is what I truly respect. The fact that you have been through a lot (what you also were brave and strong enough to share in an earlier video), and you built yourself to be a self built person is what is real.
Thank you Chad:)
I have been watching your videos for a while and so many of them hit me, but this one I had to comment on. I do want to tell you I am Jewish!!
Sincerely, Sarina🤍
To be a parent you might have to be “everything” and “everywhere”. It can be really hard and it’s just the beginning and still this is fine, it’s just how it is raising a human. However, god will tell you that this is what will make you stronger ❤ good luck 🍀 and you got this!
Thank you so much for this video❤️🙌 I really resonated with what Tori was saying! (About judging other mothers before even being a mother 🙈) hearing your experience was so so encouraging 🥹💗💗
Thanks for your authenticity!! Love you guys. ❤
This is such good advice for any stage of life!! Love you guys and the honesty you share with us! 💞
Hey tori and chad!!!!! I just wanted to tell u guys that u are amazing and we appreciate you sooooo much, just the fact that people like you existsssss meanssssss alottttt❤❤❤❤❤I LOVE YOU AND MICAH❤❤❤❤❤
Hey you! If you didn't press pause during this video to spend quiet time in prayer with God, do it now!
Trust me. It's SO worth doing.
We can't be everywhere but God can, we can't see everything but God can, we can't know everything but God can 🙏❣️❣️so inspiring 😭😭 God bless you so much Tori and Chad😍 much love🥰
I always love the HOT!! Honesty openness and transparency!!! Praise the Lord!
I need a warning for this video! I’m over here tearing up on my lunch break. ❤️🥹 I needed to hear this for my own life. I have a 3 year old and it’s been a real struggle potty training him. And I’m pregnant so lots of tears
I experienced this exact same thing. Wowwwwie. I was shocked as how I felt as a new mom.
When you said Micah was first Gods before he was yours🥹, instant mom tears, because my oldest just turned 16 yesterday and I still need to tell myself this all the time, because of our fallen world and sin nature we will never stop questioning if we are a good mom or doing things right, but the good thing is if every time we feel those feelings we give back our children to the Lord, pray and let Gods never ending love and grace wash over us , we are doing the right thing, and God will hold us up. I can say it has not been easy, but motherhood is sanctifying and God has used it to teach me so much and draw me close to him. Before kids I thought I’d have motherhood in the bag but boy has the Lord taught me and I know He will continue to. This is such important stuff to share Tori, God bless you ❤ your doing great and this will encourage so many to cling to Jesus. Which is where we need to be.
I did with my third baby whom is also a boy! I completely understand have a blessed break and may the father bless this time away! ❤️
missed you guys!!
Thank you
Thank you guys for your video! It was very encouraging! ❤ God bless you!
This video is helping me so much and my son is nearing 2! Thank you ❤️
Hi Tori and Chad!
I just wanted to write to you because I felt impressed upon by the Lord to share with you that God has given you everything you will need for doing what He’s called you to do. Including being parents to sweet baby Micah. 😊 God sees you. Hebrews 13:21 🤍
Merry Christmas to you guys! ✝️🎄
Love!
@Tori and Chad I love you all. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY FAV RUclipsRS
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 I love you guys ❤
My daughter had a lip and tongue tie and I got mastitis too - I had zero help and felt like I was losing my mind with zero sleep and worry 24/7. Finally my mom told me “feed your baby” and that’s when I started formula feeding and my world became so much better even though that’s not the route I wanted at all. But it was more of a matter of my heart giving up control bc I was so set on how things should go… and when it didn’t it really messed with my no sleep brain 😂
You guys are glowing. I believe it's the blood of Jesus!
Loved this ! ❤
Thankyou so much for sharing.
This was so beautiful 💛 thank you so much for sharing
Can’t wait to watch ❤
Aweee merry Christmas fave and hi to baby Micah 😍
Super normal in those first id say 6 months to feel that way postpartum ! As long as you make sure its not ppd !! Youll get more and more comfortable in your role as a mom and although that self doubt and mom guilt never really goes away the role does become more natural and you learn so much throughout the whole thing! Its bot easy thats why they say it takes a village but you got this and you have a loving husband there for you as well i did it all alone the first time !
