NOTE: when talking about The Chosen, I misquoted the reference of the Jots and Tittles... Not only did I butcher the phrase, 😂 I had a brain malfunction and forgot the context of the verse. I need some brain food here soon before I loose all my brain cells. Thanks for understanding! LOL.
😅 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matt.5.18.KJV I guess my biggest concern with the Chosen is it is a Mormon run show. Otherwise we all should be aware and make sure children are aware that it is a show not the Bible.
😀 I completely butchered the phrase and verse context. I think I need to go feed my brain some brain supplements and preplan my answers better. Thanks for the correction #mombrain Yes, I can understand your concern. The producer behind it isn't mormon, but the studios is. I still think there is much good that has come from the show. It's very touching. There have been a few times where I noticed some discrepancies... the main one being the pool of bethseda story, which concerned me. However I felt the message was scriptural and brought biblical stories to life. But I respect others view points if they prefer not to watch
Wanted to let you know I'll never watch your channel again after what you let happen to your sweet, innocent dog. Imagine if someone neglected you like that just after giving birth. Horrified.
What happened?
She got a blood infection, because i missed seeing her one teats was swollen. It's ok if that's how you view it and wish to leave. I'm not offended. However, We poured 1000s of dollars into her medical care... late nights at the vet, running back and forth, doing everything we could to get her back. They were able to get on top of the infection but she still needed a not of care and a lot more $$$. And we didn't have insurance. I didn't have the medical knowledge to take care of her and one of the vets wanted her. I knew she would be in much better hands with a medical professional. The options were, keep paying 1000s when we had no insurance and little money, or let a professional adopt her and continue taking care of her. It was really hard, but that was the best option for the dog and us. Money isn't there when it isn't. And I'm not a vet. She needed quality care. So if you call that neglected and unloving, that's your choice. IMO, Unloving and neglected wouldn't invest 1000s just to give up a dog for adoption in the end. Many people take dogs to a shelter or leave them to die.
I love the way you just put it out there and don’t try to act or portray that everything is perfect . I follow other Amish - Mennonite channels and they’ve become very materialistic and it’s more about buying things and decorating etc . Thank you for staying true to yourself.
Lifting Julie up in prayer. 🙏🏼
Long dresses is my way to go..and I'm rhe same way about the accent in my English..I came to the term that I don't care, I had no English education..so..whatever 😅
😆
thanks for the video!!
You really are a bright star out here! Thank you for your videos! Can you link Part one video? I couldn't find it.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/eI2VtMyvZ7uWpKw.html here you go! And thank you
❤
You are naturally funny! I love your honesty. I'm a 74 yr old Grammy from Texas. I have watched your channel for a number of yrs. Your family is precious, Nolan a rock. Thank you for sharing your life, the ups and downs.
Thank you. I'm so honored to have you here! ❤️
Ha Ha😅 my mother in law is coming was the first video i ever saw of yours, been loving and watched every video since then.. Blessing to you..❤
Lol. Thanks for being here so long
In the old days, youngsters learned in eight years what current students don’t even in 12 years. A GOOD foundation through 8th grade, followed by apprenticeship/technical skills would seek many students much better than today’s system. I was watching a British doctor recently who said that they go straight into medical education when finished high school, even if younger teens.
Well done,answering the proud to be a Mennonite question. I am also a Mennonite from Canada . Who believes in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. And i totally agree about how you worded it. We are all sinners. And we surely aren't perfect. And i love the chosen. I think it is a beautiful tool. To reach non believers.God bless you.
We are low german Mennonites. My parents never taught me low german and to me its VERY sad.
Valuable post ❤️!
That would totally count as my carryon, right?
Curious, are you ‘allowed’ to have friends from ‘the world’? Like, would you have non-mennointes over for dinner? Just curious if there are any regulations about such things.
Beautiful 🌸
I love your honesty 😉 keep being you! 🩷xxx
I really enjoyed this vlog today. I think that you have a great moral compass and are very level headed. You are how I see a true Mennonite. Some I’ve seen here on KZread seem very worldly and completely different from you. Keep doing you. Love to Xander and Lexie, they are both growing so fast!
So so many good thoughts! Thank you I enjoyed this❤
I enjoyed the chat a lot. I have a lots of similarities and points of view with you. I grew up in a pretty strict church with the services three times a week, plus a youth group on Saturdays. It was normal for us 😊. Looking forward to see more vacation videos in the future and whatever you will come up with. Blessings 🙏🌸🌼🌺
Thank you so much for sharing on why it so important to find a church home. I moved far from my Church home and I am now trying to find a new Church home near me. Can you please pray that I find a place of worship that I will continue to grow in our Heavenly Father's Word, connect with like- minded people of God, and we have a love for one another🙏 ❤
I see that you MENNONITES and AMISH have fully grasped Christ's teachings as they translate to everyday life on earth. How did you all agree to go along for all these years? There must be something strong that binds you together, because people are rebellious in their hearts. I'm from Ethiopia and evangelical.
Is not perfect as it may appear. Many don't agree and may leave or go elsewhere. We are human and struggle with the same issues of the flesh. 🥲
Do you fast a lot ? or you guy look study bible a lot?
I really appreciate how honest your answers are. Also how open you are with your life experiences. You are a joy to listen to. You are so genuine and down to earth. Your faith is evident and “out there” for all to see but you don’t get heavy handed about it. I am also a believer and I really like what you said that the Christian life is a journey, which it is, and not a destination. Thanks for these Q & A times, l learn a lot, and although I am a 72 yr. old grandma I think you never stop learning. God Bless you and your family. Joy S from Northern Indiana
Thank you, Joy, for your encouragement. I often question and doubt myself and what I say and do. God bless you as you serve Him! 🙏
Very interesting ❤. I love all your content my friend 🤗💕
Thank you so much 🤗
Thanks for sharing your views. I love hearing your thoughts on motherhood and life in general. Don’t you worry. I don’t like cleaning either. 😂. We are not a slave to our house. One word I will take from this post is that the path to Jesus is in the journey and that not all is revealed at the same time. I will take that to heart. I am catholic and not religious. I go to mass sometimes and get this feeling of being overwhelmed. I don’t know what I should be looking for or searching inside of me. I read the Bible and I need to find a book or a YT channel that helps me along to understand. Hugs from France.
Catholicism has many rituals etc. And I can imagine it feels overwhelming. It would to me also. I encourage you to keep searching and seeking. God promises those that seek will find... a really enjoy The Beveres. A family that has various podcasts. Lisa has one and John (I think that's his name). So far everything I've heard from them seems very on point. At home with the Beveres is one of the podcasts. But they have multiple ones. Lisa speaks directly to women. Sending hugs.
Love your honesty so very raw. Would love to be able to buy Mumma Java in Australia but unfortunately our quarantine laws don’t allow it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I wish you could, however shipping would also be super expensive 😫
💛💛💛 You’re the best! Thanks for answering my question, I was so curious of your opinion. I watch The Chosen and I really enjoyed it.
You are so welcome! I also love The Chosen. I'm excited for the next season to come out
Loved your video Jeanine! Thank you for sharing about you. Omgoodness! The look on your face at end ! LOL!
😅 thank you
What a great video !!! I loved it w all the questions & answers...lol ❤
Thanks so much!!
I would like to know where did you buy your cardigan from
It's been awhile. I tried to find it online for you but couldn't find it. I'm sorry.
❤❤❤
Not video related, but I loved your friend Raquel, and I can't find her anymore. Is she still doing KZread? Thank you.
Sadly no, she had a post one day saying she was leaving to care for her family 😢
Yes, however she is on instagram and posts stories frequently. She's fun to follow! @Raquelwitmer
@@kimyoung1093 sad for us and wonderful for her and her family! Glad she followed her heart and stopped KZread to enjoy her prayed for family.
Glad to see you...been awhile...enjoy your content! Having a sewing blog soon!! How much does one dress cost to sew?
Thank you! Are you starting a sewing blog? That's great! It's 25 to 30 a dress to get it sewed
You are a truly woman of God!!! I love the way God uses you to be a blessing to others! I admire menonitas culture and how you honor God with your love,discipline,and obedience!!! You are a remnant of Gods people! I’m thankful for you and your people! Such a good example of Christian life!👌🏻❤️🙏🏻
Love you! This was wonderful. A favorite verse is Romans 12:30. ...God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Good choice of verse. Thank you
I agree with you 100% about the Chosen. Very well said.
Thank you for being so real. ❤
I saw a program on Amish and in this doc they say they don’t study the Bible or they don’t even talk about the Bible.
Some groups would be that way, where life is just about the tradition. It's sad
Jeanine - YOU are the best … a wonderful Christian woman … you are so much more genuine that some other Mennonite women on KZread/ Instagram - especially those who relocate to warmer climates - need the latest house totally upgraded - very materialistic etc etc - you know who I mean.
That is very unchristian there is nothing wrong with wanting to have a nice house and I know who you are talking about she is a very good woman
I appreciate your compliment however she's a friend of mine and a wonderful person. Very kind and down to earth. ❤️ I personally admire people that have a passion for making their home beautiful. It truly is our haven, and I think there nothing wrong with enjoying making it a beautiful for your family. Social media can quickly make something or someone appear a certain way that may not be so, especially if they focus on a particular niche like home decor. I'm so random I can't stick to a niche much, lol. It would help if I could, but I get bored quickly. 😴 thanks for being here! Appreciate you
Thank you for sharing your heart! Concerning housework, I heard once that our homes are not supposed to be museums. Go for tidy and comfortable!
Love this! So true and thanks for the encouragement
My motto, especially while having young children, was: Clean enough to be healthy, but messy enough to be a home.
Always love the Q and A’s getting to know you. I been struggling in my faith as I am not Blessed to be a mom but , looking in near future to be a mother like person in someone’s life. I have trust issues with alot of people however, striving to interact with like minded Faith based woman.
Great job in answering those questions!! As a mother with young children don't ever feel guilty if not everything gets done, the season of life you are in right now with young lively children passes by so quickly, as long as the house is still standing the work will still be there when those littles are in school or have homes of their own!!! Always take time to smell the roses!! God bless.
How do you study the Bible? Do you do it with hubby?
Have faith like a little child. Children often use their imagination to fill in bits and pieces of a story. The Bible leaves some room for wonder (imagination), so in my humble opinion The Chosen could be viewed as healthy entertainment that fosters a better relationship/understanding of Biblical accounts. It shouldn't be a replacement for a relationship with Jesus but a tool to see how this could have possibly happened in real life, this isn't just a fairytale, view it more like a historical documentary of sorts.
great video thanks fore sharing, I will go watch the first video. looking forward to your trip to the coffee groves
Thanks so much for answering my questions about beginner youtuber!! I often wish I could work side by side with you and learn all there is to know about creating videos, I feel like there would be a lot of laughs. You seem easygoing and fun to be with.😊❤
I love the way you share the memories with your family. So sweet
Love your family ❤ You are a very wise woman❤
