Forgiveness is the way to release and healing. We are in this life to mainly learn two things: forgiveness and unconditional love. That is ONLY what the Divine radiates in, it spurns everything else. If one can align closely to it, you can have the best of what this world offers, here. 🙏💫💖🌱🌎
THIS is what it’s all about! I know this man will come to saving knowledge of Christ Jesus and be delivered from the oppression of alcohol! I never knew you or Matt but I get the impression that you both will rejoice in that moment.
Heather, you are a blessing to the world. Your heart,the light, and love you bring to your channel. God never "stops" using you. Your tears and lessons on forgiveness have now touched my life! You popped up on UA-cam 11/12/24 . You had questions about FEMA. ??? Now I'm here, sharing your journey, the heartache,tears, and a lesson on true forgiveness, through God's grace to let go of hurt cause in one's life. I call people like you "Earth Angels". 😇 May God's healing power be with you and your family. In Jesus' name. Amen 🙏
Holy Spirit did his work in you. Praise God for his healing power. You will be a testament of faith and forgiveness. I'm at the 7th month Mark of my daughter's move to heaven today. If I didn't trust God, I wouldn't:'t be here today sharing grief with you. He will bring us through. My prayers continue for your family and I will pray for Jared.
Oh my Word...my three children were hit by a drunk driver who was more concerned about his dogs in the car being injured than my children. My dear You may not have reached your drunk driver, but I am here to tell you you reached me... God has given you a precious gift of ministering to the grieving. I have no words, but to say thank you and bless you always!
My son in law killed a mother and daughter he was drunk . He asked forgiveness from the family , our family, his 3 children and owned his action. He got 30 years prison.
@@loriannskaggs2357 Hugs. People disapper when you say stuff like that. I will give you a thumbs up for being so brave ... and not being a coward like most people ARE. 💗
I knew a lady who's daughter had been killed by a drunk driver. He was a migrant worker here from another country. She went to the jail, took an interpreter and lead him to Christ. Then she, with her church, organized a mission trip to his hometown in his country and she ministered to his family there. Abba can give us grace that surpasses human capability for sure. You're an amazing child of God.
Heather, we just love seeing you. You don't have to cook or can. Just hearing you is inspirational. You don't even know how uplifting you are for us. Please just continue to heal and come visit us whenever you can. Come back when you are ready. We'll still be here waiting with love and patience. Bless you and your kiddos!
That is exactly what I would say too. Your faith is so beautiful and so encouraging. I will pray for Jared too. I don’t think Matt’s death was in vain no matter what he decides. You’ve allowed God to bring good from this tragedy and you’ve touched so many people with the love of God. Bless you and never feel pressure that you have to make spectacular videos- like Shelley said we just love seeing you. It helps us yo know what we can pray for for you guys also. Hang in there and keep smiling and abiding in Jesus
I don’t know you but your relationship with the Almighty is profoundly moving. Please seriously consider live-streaming this way. This ministered to me and I am certain many others. Beauty for ashes. I also am in Michigan , Ann Arbor area. You moved the mama in me you could be my daughter. Continue pressing forward as painful as it is. That connection with the Holy Spirit is everything. As I said I don’t know you but I love you. This is church!❤❤❤❤
Still on my prayer list. I know exactly what you are talking about.. teaching every muscle all over again from a bad stroke! I think of you so often! Have always a ys sent my love in my prayers.
Heather, it's your love for Jesus that the world so desperately needs to see! I love you for sharing your pain, your forgiveness and your hope. You really are such an encouragement to all of us!
Your spirit is a mighty one. You are a bright light in the midst of all the darkness that happened to you and your family. The Holy Spirit is alive and well in your soul…God bless you on your continued journey to total healing. It was good to hear your heartfelt testimony💕
Heather you are the most amazing woman I have ever known in my entire life. Coming from a background in law-enforcement I've seen some very horrific accidents that have totally destroyed families, both physically and mentally. I am now retired and I just wanted to tell you you're an inspiration to everybody! You and your family have been through so much pain that most people could never experience in three lifetimes. You and your family will always be in our prayers.
Thank you for your service! I don’t know what I would have done without the tender mercy of law enforcement and medical staff from several hospitals. Everyone was so kind to me. Matt C&C so going to the sheriffs dept to retrieve his gun was so emotional for me and the police officers were so unbelievably kind. The way they protected me from online trolls who stalked me. How they drove by my house to keep an eye on me until my Dad was here. All through the court hearing. All of it. Wonderful. It’s a thankless job so….thank you!
You did not ramble at all. For having 2 TBI and all you have been through, you are remarkably composed and articulate. You have been through unbelieveable pain and trauma, that most people can't even imagine. If you need time, take time, just know we will always be here.
You take all the time you need !!! You have been through so much and your family! I will pray for Jared like you asked... I hope he gets the he.needs ..Take care of yourself we all will be here-!
God Bless You!! What an inspiration... this video needs to be played in every DWI class across America. What a way to honor Matt and have some good come out of a horrible event.
I really needed to hear this. My father was killed last year in a road rage altercation. He was run over by the guys who started the whole thing. My heart has been very heavy for us all. Thank you so much for showing me that His grace truly is sufficient. Right after the incident I prayed for them. That they may find Jesus.. God IS sovereign!!! Yes! Thank you Heather! Sending continued prayers for you and your family.
Your testimony here on this video is the most powerful spoken words that a human can profess! God HAS used you, not only for Jarod, but for every person that watches this video. Your words & beautiful spirit will help so many. Thank you for your candor, your Christian spirit and your infectious smile! God bless you and your family!
I don’t know what Jared’s choice might be or if he will have a testimony, but yours is simply incredible Heather. God bless and heal you and your children ❤️
Jared’s response to the accident sounds very much like he’s in denial and active in his disease. I hope he chooses recovery. His addiction is a prison in and of itself. My husband is a recovering alcoholic and I thank God his story didn’t turn out like Jared’s. Bless you for giving him a serious talk about changing his life around. He likely hasn’t had a talk like that from anyone. Sending so much love to you and your family.
Hi Heather, Grannie Cyndy from South Australia here, just found your name after reading through comments. Your video just popped up in my feed and I watched it. You are an absolute blessing. I was in tears hearing your heartbreaking story. But your grace, obedience to our Lord in the most trying circumstances and your willingness to forgive is such an amazing testimony. I know that you truly are His by your fruit. 'Forgive them Father for they know not what they do'. 💕
Jared might never be awakened and changed, but your tragic, painful, beautiful, blessed, sorrowful, and amazing journey and YOUR response to such extreme heartbreaking events HAS awoken me. Your husband and love of your life and the father of your children did not die in vain! Your experience has prompted me to resume faith in the savior! You are such an example of how to live a life worth living.
I see the Lord's strength in you I hear his strength too. I'm so sorry you have had to go through all of this. You are touching lives right now!! You have touched my heart!❣️
My first husband went home almost 20 years ago. He was killed in a car accident caused by an illegal immigrant in southern Ohio. This person disappeared before trial. I had to realize that his fate was and is in God’s hands and it was not my fate to worry about him anymore. My focus had to be on picking up my life (for me and my son)and rebuilding. It’s so nice to hear you have such wonderful support and a beautiful relationship with God. You can do this. Keep picking yourself up and pushing on. My prayers are with you ♥️ Much Love
I’m so glad to see you are doing well. I’m so sorry for all you and your family have been through. It’s heartbreaking. On November 26th our youngest daughter, Jennifer (39 years old) and I were hit head on by a driver that was on drugs & alcohol. We were both critically injured. She passed away on January 7th. She was the single Mother of a 16 year old son. I’m still recovering and looking at more surgeries. The trial for the man that hit us will be sometime this summer. It’s currently scheduled for May 8th but subject to change. I pray we get #JusticeforJen God Bless you and your family.
Thank you Heather. Not for fulfilling our curiosity, but for sharing what God has done in and through you by the power of the Holy Spirit. I will join you in praying for Jared and his family as I continue to pray for you and yours. 🙏🏼You are a great example of the forgiveness Christ gives to us all. What a blessing you are. ❤️
How wonderful that you have given him the opportunity to turn his life around and that you pray for him every day. Many people would not be able to do what you have done.❤❤❤
You bring me to my knees spiritually. What a beautiful soul you are. I haven’t even been able to forgive small things in my life and here you are forgiving a man that hurt your family in an unimaginably deep way. What an inspiration you are.
Heather you've got the sweetest little giggly laugh and I just love it, your laugh is infectious!!! Matt would be so proud of you and the children and how far you have come, and all that your family has done for you, Matt would be ecstatic about that. Keep doing what your doing and keep Jesus close to your family, heart and soul. Praying for you and your children and your ama extended family. Not everyone has a family like that and they are a blessing from above and they are your angels on earth. I'm so proud of all you progress as well! God bless to all!!!
Well I don’t think my comment posted so I’m going to try to remember it all and post again. You have such a beautiful spirit I’m sure we are all glad just to see you posting 😊. As for me I would love just to see you read a few Bible verses or do a short devotional…. We aren’t worried about seeing you do a canning or cooking video right now. Now more than ever we need godly women like you speaking on a public place like UA-cam. My husband was in an accident with a TBI and unless someone has had a loved one dealing with a TBI it can be hard to imagine the difficulties it can cause. Hearing the forgiveness and the loving caring heart you have is such an amazing example of God’s love and forgiveness for all of us. I worked with special needs kids for several years and it blew my mind how many of the kids were innocent enough they would talk about how their parents would have the kids do the parent’s test….unbelievable…. I am so sorry you and your family have had to endure all this. It just doesn’t seem fair. There are so many people struggling with so many issues these days … is there a specific devotional or Bible study you’re doing that you could share with us? You are truly a blessing to so many. Please know that there are so many of us still praying for you and your family. God bless you my sweet sister in Christ 🥰.
This comment is everything this morning. 🙏🏻♥️ Thank you! Being online and sharing is not easy. It is shocking how many cruel people are out here. I know it’s the enemy trying to keep me from brining Gods Kingdom down. It is not fair. But suffering I am learning is the one thing we share with Jesus, and the Lord sees it. Feels it. And never leaves us. 🙏🏻 He is sovereign and good and righteous and he will restore what the enemy steals. It is a daily reminder on social media just how broken people are. And lost from the Lord. 🙏🏻 It makes me weep often. Thank you for your comment. I am pinning it. I think youtube now allows short videos. Maybe a daily devotional would be something others would like too? I will pray on it. 🙏🏻♥️ thank you for such kind words this morning. 🥰
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I agree with the lady who posted this. I’m brand new to you and your story. I wondered where your faith was in the Lord as I had watched the White bread video and your “hardest video ever” followed. I’ve been binge watching ea one not wanting to jump to the end for some reason. God is allowing me to feel, cry, grieve for things I haven’t in 15 yrs- 7 since my husband couldn’t handle my injuries and undiagnosed TBI from 8 yrs prior!! I lost all! So, I’m praying with and for you as I walk an unfair healing journey my mind and heart are ready to take (no daily memory for 7 yrs. Groundhog’s Day in real life). Is there still a GoFundMe set up? What’s the best way to send you a love offering Heather? I’m letting your commercials/ads play that o normally would click through or circumvent. Deb
So Sorry for your loss & All you’ve gone through.. the accident.. injuries & loss of your husband.. My prayers are with you & those you love. 💗I’m praying for Jerry too & for his Deliverance from Alcohol!.. his Salvation..(& that God will use him. & his testimony)..to help others & to Glorify His Name!!🙏🙏🙏 God Bless You & Your Family with His Strength & Comfort as you Go through this Difficult time!!Much Love & Many Hugs!!💔🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️👑💗💗
My dear, you are a nicer person than I!! In 2007, My 17year old daughter and her friend were both killed in a similiar crash. The guy driving the car they were in was high on drugs. He was charged 7-20 years for killing both of them. He served 11 years. I believe the charges should be more severe. Everyone of driving age knows the consequences of driving under the influence. I pray and think of you and the kids every day. I watched you since before you were pregnant with Mina. I send you strength and a great big giant hug!!!
I lost my husband in an accident when I was 32. I know as a mother you have to move forward and be strong for your children. I believe we carry our dead with us every day, and grieve when we can. You will find that time makes things a bit easier, a bit more accepted. Forgiveness is a huge thing for YOUR recovery. Jared will never be your burden, so let him go. You are doing so so much better and a true warrior so be proud and take care of you!
I can't even express how wonderful it was to see your face light up at the mention of your birds. I have 18 hens, 2 turkeys, 3 ducks, and a peacock. I'm planning to get my peacock some girlfriends this year! All my best to you. So much love.
I am so sorry for your loss. My children were hit by a drunk driver n 2020. Our lives will never be the same. You story , so much of it I or my children could have written. My husband had compassion for the driver but he asked for an apology which we had never received in the nearly four years that had passed. The man refused even the judge was shocked. As we left the courtroom I began to shake violently. I have since learned that our bodies will tremble and it’s a means of releasing trauma from our brain. In the four years I would start to tremble or cry and I would force myself to stop. Tell myself I was making life affecting decisions on behalf of my children and I couldn’t break down. During Covid I was alone as my husband wasn’t allowed to be with me and our oldest son but he said that he watched me shutting down my humaness in an effort to be stoic. After the court was over I felt something begin to lift a little each day. I would be driving and tears would begin to fall. I ended up changing our schedules and taking time to step back. I am beginning to heal. Everyone deals with this in their own way. I pray for your healing and peace and for those who have shared their stories here.
Found you on youtube recently when looking for canning. Saw your recent tragic horror and now watch you with so much compassion. No words will ever suffice. So so so so so so sorry. God be with you and your whole entire family. 🙏🏼 ❤️
My dear lady I just stumbled on your page you broke my heart on one hand but I'm so impressed with your power of healing both physically and how our sweet Jesus has helped you spiritually. You and your family will be in my prayers daily
I can’t hardly find the words. This very raw testimony has pulled me, just as others, into a very sacred place where the Holy Spirit holds you up and speaks to our hearts as only God can do. You are the one in this place and not only did you and your families’ path meet in that moment but all of our paths as well. I pray that you feel joy again. ❤
For once in my life i'm lost for words ,absolutely lost for words . You're one strong lady to come on here and speak of salvation for the man that changed your life forever is beyond words . My prayers are on going ,as I share your pain ,having lost my only Son on Christmas Day last year. Grieving for me will be forever . My love and prayers to you all xxx 🙏💔
I have just found your channel, I am so so sorry for everything you have gone through. But look how GOD is blessing you back to health!!! I am 71 and have dealt with many deaths and sad things, but I pray for your families health and love. I just learned this saying, which is I choose FAITH OVER FEAR. I WISH YOU THE SAME!!!❤
There are no words for how inspirational your faith is. I have friend who's husband was just killed by a drunk driver. It's heartbreaking all the way around, just like you said. "There are no winners here!!" Your example is how Christians should ALWAYS act. Bless you and your family!!
I don't drink 🍷🍻🍷 it's against my faith, and I'm thankful to have the word of Wisdom, from my church! I feel bad that liquor is being pushed so hard on everyone, and young people are clueless to the consequences of drinking, and other things they do in this day and age! People today don't live in reality! It's so sad , but Jesus Christ 🙏🏻💜🌸 will return and all will be made well again!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader On Aug 27 at about 313 AM, in my somewhat sleep, I heard - He’s bringing the rapture at the speed of light. From nineplanets I read a bit on the speed of light. Saw this: We know that nothing can surpass the speed of light, at least in theory. If you’d have the power to move with the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Oct 26, 2020, I heard - Biden Harris July 31,2021 I heard - Stay in the Word. Aug 1, 2021, I heard - Do not fear what is coming. Aug 9, 2021 - Surge. Isolate. In 2019, I heard - famine and plague. Jan 26, 2021. Heard - War is coming Shawna. Better prepare. Prophesy. April 9, 2021, before going to bed, my vision went black for a quick moment, and then I saw in gold letters: Thus saith the Lord. About four hours later, April 10, during my sleep I heard: Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 1235 AM, our area had a small earthquake registering 3.1. In April 2019, I heard - Tell them I am coming soon. Later in the day I heard: There will be a great shaking. When I didn't tell a particular church about it, I got a dream where I was scared. I could hear myself saying: I'll tell them, I'll tell them, I'll tell them. Then I saw a person in the dark with well lit windows behind him and another person dressed in white walking behind him and up some stairs. Dec 20, 2021. I had a dream of an eagle on a power line. I was standing below and looking up at the eagle as it sat there, calmly, looking around. Then it started to morph into a dragon. Then I was above that dragon looking down at it with its wings spread open. I could see the black veins in the right wing. I was in QFC one day and a song caught my attention. I believe the Lord wanted me to hear it. It's called - Get Closer by Seals and Crofts. (also look at lyrics). Supporting scripture - James 4 vs 8 and Zechariah 1 vs 3.
@@BBB-rd2qi Thank you ❗💯👍🏻🙏💜 My son knew a guy at his work and they became friends, he was older and hat two daughters. One daughter was a party girl, he tried to get her to make better decisions for herself ❗ The other daughter stayed clear of that lifestyle, until she decided to attend a party 🎉 she thought it might be fun. She went, she started drinking and ended up killing someone from drinking and driving, she's 21 year's old, and her entire life is ruined ❗Her parents sold there house 🏠 and bought one next to the prison she was being kept at! Not to mention,she ruined the victim's family, as well , it's so incredibly sad ,my heart goes out to them with my prayers ❗🙏 These young people today don't understand these bad things that can happen from drinking ❗And the government doesn't care what happens to these families ❗ The government doesn't care about any of us, we don't need alcohol in society at all, it's not helpful in any way, to anyone ❗And at the end of the day, your problems are still there❗💜👍🏻💯🎄⛄🦌
You probably will never know what an impact your story and subsequent journey will have on people you will never meet. As a 5year recovering alcoholic I can tell you personally that your story WILL make a difference in someone’s life. Maybe not Jared, but another lost soul suffering from the fatal disease that is alcoholism. God is the answer to healing and recovery, period. Hopefully Jared will go to AA meetings in jail and find his way to God and recovery through this amazing 12 step program. But regardless, you are a testament to hope, resilience and faith. God bless.
You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your testimony. I was hit by a drunk driver which resulted in 5 back surgeries and still suffer debilitating pain every day. It’s now been 12 years. He never served any jail time and I struggled with forgiving him. I thought I did but hearing you made me realize I actually never truly did. Thank you for reminding me that he is also deserving of God’s grace and mercy and I should be praying be praying for his soul every day. Thank you so much! ♥️
I know this must have been so difficult for you to tell us how the trial and subsequent outcome went. Even more amazing is how you talked to him face to face and continue to pray for him. I have so much admiration for you, Heather. And besides, you have adorable chickens and turkeys!
Watching your train of thought process heal as these update videos come out is incredibly encouraging to see. Regardless of the topic, seeing you recover is a gift that can't be described. Your journey is proof that God can carry us through anything. Thank you for the uplifting reminder that God is using everything.
May God continue to use you and to keep Matt's story alive in Jared's life. May Jared be convicted by the Holy Spirit. May Jared find God and may you and your family face each tomorrow with a brighter smile knowing your burden was lifted the day you let God be in control. I know it had to be hard to walk in faith during this time.
You are being used by The Lord in a mighty way Hun! You are setting such an example of what it looks like to have an obedient heart submitted to Jesus ❤ I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and the pain your family has been through. May the Lord give you peace and comfort. Prayers for continued healing on this journey 🙏 ❤
Your testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness in the midst of deep personal tragedy is SO important for us to hear. As someone has already said, “He is already using this story for His Glory.” Thank you so much for sharing what He is teaching you. We hear you. ❤
Thank you for having the strength to tell your story and thru God giving a struggling person the gift of forgiveness and a chance for redemption even thru all your pain and grief. It takes a very special person and faith to be able to do that. Heather your smile absolutely lights up a room.....wishing you sunny days ahead. You have restored my true belief in goodness during these trying times.
What a powerful testimony you have given. May God continue to bless and guide you as you continue to heal. May your children continue to heal both physically and emotionally
Thank you for sharing this difficult video. Unfortunately addiction is such a selfish disease and Jared may or may not heal. You showed him grace and that’s such a powerful thing. I’ll pray for him and for my own son who suffers from addiction as well. ❤️
Heather, thank you for sharing your story. It is amazing how the Lord has carried you through this. Your story of walking with the Lord, forgiveness and of allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you during the trial touched my heart and I am sure it has and will touch the hearts of many. Forgiveness is critical and so many people need to hear that testimony. The world is full people who carry anger and the poison of unforgiveness in their hearts. I, for one, am not waiting for brighter more cheery videos - walking with you in whatever small way I can and learning from your testimony is huge. Thank you, sister in Christ. Know you, your family and Jared are in my prayers.
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible , look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is love and mercy itself. Amen. (From the Chaplet of Divine Mercy)
Heal. Take whatever time you need. If talking to us, or just showing us your chickens, is what brings you some peace & joy, then please, do so. You do not ramble, you inspire, and bring comfort to others. Continued blessings to you
We lost a dear friend this year to a drunk driver. A UA-camr by the name Steph Pappas just lost her father and dog to a drunk driver. The scary part about drunk driving is anyone can do it. Anyone can obtain alcohol, over consume, and get behind the wheel of a vehicle. One decision can cost so many lives. All we can do is say a prayer before we leave our homes, things like this will never make sense or be fair 🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing this Heather. 5 years is not enough for what he cost you/your community/family/friends. But thank you for continuing to spread your light even in darkness! ✨️ Hang in there!
This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for such a tremendous loss. Your Matty is with the Lord and together he and our Lord has and is absolutely watching over you. God Bless you!
Your godliness and your testimony has touched me beyond words! Thank you for sharing your deepest sorrows here and giving God the glory for bringing you through it all. You are a precious soul!
Oh, Heather, I cry along with you. I can not wrap my brain around what you are going through and how difficult it must be to forgive him. The fact that he takes no accountability makes it that much worse. It's good to know that while he is in prison, he will not be able to drink one more drop and will then have to face his demons. It will probably be the first time that he will finally feel guilt. God is using you mightily. I'm praying for you. You totally amaze me. Please post those videos. :D ♥🙏
I had a cousin that was like a brother to me! He was an EMT and dedicated his life to saving others! He was very family oriented but was not married and had no children! He was 24 years old and one of a kind! He let his best friend share his home with him and one night his friend used my cousins own rifle and shot my cousin in the head killing him! This guy never served a night in jail! Couple of years later my uncle passed who was a minister and pastored a church passed away, due to stress and a broken heart! My aunt about 5 years later saw the young man in a grocery store and she walked up to him and told him she forgave him and she witnessed to him about the Lord! He walked away! She worked for the Lord as a minister until she was 94 years old and brought many to accept salvation and left earth for her heavenly home about 4 years ago! She always said God gave her grace to show that young man grace!
The way you lit up talking about your chickens, turkeys and kids at the end is absolutely EVERYTHING. I am grateful for your channel and your courage and willingness to share. I’d be all over watching and doing a series of Bible studies with you if you ever feel led.
Same! I’d love to do a Bible study with Heather if she feels led to do one. ❤🕊 Such an inspirational and motivating speaker! Forgiveness is the key factor, and I just got it yesterday FINALLY! Then I found this lovely video from you, Heather. Just what was needed to give more encouragement. Thank you! You cheered me up as well as led me to a deeper understanding of grace and forgiveness. You are such a blessing. I will keep you, your family, those helping you recover and move forward in life, as well as for Jarred and his family all in my prayers. God bless!
Your grace and faith is so inspiring, Heather! My family also found out first hand how broken our justice system is. My husbands life was forever changed by a juvenile. Because he was a juvenile, he received a slap on the wrist. In the years that have followed, he has continued to reoffend and still walks free to this day. It has taken many years for me to forgive him. I hold on to the knowledge that he, too, will be judged by the only one who can judge us. God bless you and your family Heather! Much love from south Texas.
I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I'm new to your channel and blown away by your strength and commitment to not only healing your body but also your emotions and helping your children heal as well. You have a very strong faith and I'm sure that helps you through those difficult days. On that brighter note you spoke of, you are teaching me to bake bread and it's helping to heal my guys skin issues. Turns out he's allergic to preservatives! Thank you so very much.
Thank you Heather for sharing this with us. I admire you so much, your strength, your courage and most of all your faith. May God keep you and your family safe in his arms always. Praying for you all.
Amen, thank you for sharing your uplifting messages and just what brings you joy. Keep sharing the joys you find in all you feel comfortable sharing, your smile is beautiful!
Wow! You are such an amazing person. I wish I could be half the person you are. I don’t believe I could be as forgiving as you are, specially with Jarred’s reaction to what transpired. You are a special lady. May God bless you and your family always.
Bless you! What powerful testimony. Even if this does not change him it can reach someone else and pivot their life. Keep God close he’s the almighty healer ❤
It's wonderful to see how far you have come. When I look back at what you have been through, it is the Lord who has carried you in his arms and cared for you, he has nourished your soul. May God continue to bless you with healing as you greet each new day. Keeping you in our prayers, all the way from New Zealand. 💜💚💙🧡💛❤
as a long time subscriber, i appreciate the difficulty it took to update us. your sharing is a witness for so many, it is with gratitude i thank Him for you! hugs from ours to yours.
Heather please keep sharing with us, what God is doing in and through you is a supernatural miracle.We need to hear this.Thank you for your Faithfulness.
What a brave soul you are and what amazing strength you have shown in the midst of the nightmare that you and your family have all been through. We are all praying for your full recovery in every way possible. It’s a miracle you are even alive and that you’ve done your best to let go of the anger. Thank you for sharing your healing journey. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the update on your recovery. And thank you for the info on Jared and how his sentencing all went down. You are such a brave angel to hold his hand and speak to him. I pray your words touched his heart, or will touch his heart while he serves out his hopefully 15 years sentence. I pray that you and your children are touched daily by the Holy Spirit. God bless you always! I pray you accomplish your desires to be walking without any aid by the holidays.
I just want to say that you are an absolutely stunningly beautiful woman inside and out. I am new to your channel, I don't even know if you still make content but when I first saw your face I saw how beautiful you were before you even said a word...and then you spoke...and I was just shook by your heart and your kindness and forgiveness. God bless you. I hope that you and your children are doing even better. And I hope that your pain has lessened and that you are more mobile. I am handicapped due to pain myself so I feel for you. It's a very difficult thing to master and live with. You and your children deserve the best that life has to offer.
Tears poured the whole time watching this.. you are such an incredible woman! Praise be to God for giving you the strength to endure this. And so much respect to you for turning to the Lord through such heartache and trial.. such an inspiration! May God continue to restore you and your children and give you peace! 🙏🙏🙏
You know as you spoke to us with your solemn words, the sun shined brighter and brighter on you, and put you in a beautiful glow. That is testimony to the grace and love you are receiving as you walk through this time in your life. I feel it, believe it, and see it.
You look SO SO beautiful here! Heather, you can just say hello and there is no need to cook, clean, or "do" for us. Choosing to share your grief process and spiritual journey is remarkable. You might consider sharing a bible study with us. . .you are a total inspiration. May the mercies of Father God continue to be new each day to you and your children .
Your testimony is proof of God’s unending mercy and grace. Your family is in my prayers. Today you touched my heart with your faith. I know the Lord will continue to walk with you daily. God bless you and may you continue to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit. ❤
Such a powerful testimony, I got chills. God bless you and your family, friends and church. Prayers for Jared and his family, always prayers for you and yours
I’ve missed you. You look as pretty as normal! I’m glad you are doing better, I know it’s a hard road to travel, I had to learn to walk over when I was in my teens. My injuries weren’t nowhere near what you had. I’m so proud of you. Hun, don’t let others put you in an uncomfortable situation. You need to let yourself heal mentally as well. We all love you, we can wait until you are ready.
One day at a time sweet Jesus... After your video ended that song popped into my head. You all are going to all get through this because God has a plan for each and every one of you!!!
Thank You for sharing this with us. I will pray for Jarred and hope he finds in his soul what he has done to the lives on so many people. You are strong, you are healing from the inside out! Keep the faith lady! You got this girl!
Heather, you truly have God's strength with you. All of us know how much you and Matt loved each other, and I don't know if I would have had the strength or the courage to be so graceful to someone who wrecked my life. My heart aches for you and your families loss. You inspire me to seek God more diligently, and I thank you for your testimony....that's really what we're here to do, give our testimony of God. His light definitely is shining through you, and you are surrounded with it....I can see it. We love you Heather, never give up and always know God is with you and carrying you when you think you can't make it....Footprints in the sand.
Jesus took the ultimate wrath for us. Anyone who follows him will encounter suffering in some way. It’s steel sharpening steel. Through the pain, you find the true meaning of live and joy. Purpose in the pain. I hold into that. Look how close it has brought me to all of you. 🙏🏻
I binged watch a bunch of your videos, especially your odyssey of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. God bless you. I am so glad yo7 found love again and your children happy to have you Dad again.
Wonderful to see you, dear one. I have been watching old canning videos some to help what I am currently doing and others just to watch and learn. We enjoy whatever you are comfortable with doing. Prayers continue for all of you.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader oh if you think you can please do but don’t push yourself. I’m going to can my apple butter recipe hopefully before surgery in a month. Sending up prayers still for you sweet Heather you have come so far. You are far better than I forgiving him but I do understand you have 2 children to raise and all of your PT, your such an amazing woman.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
You are an inspiration. I lost my husband just before you lost yours so I feel connected to you to some degree. I can't lie and say I've been the Christian I should have been, I'm working on that and you help in that aspect greatly. Thank you for allowing God to use you and for sharing your story.
Most people have to go through tragedy without a voice or much or any support, medically and financially. It’s good that you realize how blessed you are in spite of what happened to you and your family.
Forgiveness is the way to release and healing. We are in this life to mainly learn two things: forgiveness and unconditional love. That is ONLY what the Divine radiates in, it spurns everything else. If one can align closely to it, you can have the best of what this world offers, here. 🙏💫💖🌱🌎
YES!!!!!!!! THIS! ALL OF THIS!!!!!!
Well Said ... I agree.. and bless you n yours...
Self Forgiveness is ultimate
THIS is what it’s all about! I know this man will come to saving knowledge of Christ Jesus and be delivered from the oppression of alcohol! I never knew you or Matt but I get the impression that you both will rejoice in that moment.
Heather, you are a blessing to the world.
Your heart,the light, and love you bring to your channel.
God never "stops" using you.
Your tears and lessons on forgiveness have now touched my life! You popped up on UA-cam 11/12/24 . You had questions about FEMA. ???
Now I'm here, sharing your journey, the heartache,tears, and a lesson on true forgiveness, through God's grace to let go of hurt cause in one's life.
I call people like you
"Earth Angels". 😇
May God's healing power be with you and your family.
In Jesus' name. Amen 🙏
Holy Spirit did his work in you. Praise God for his healing power. You will be a testament of faith and forgiveness. I'm at the 7th month Mark of my daughter's move to heaven today. If I didn't trust God, I wouldn't:'t be here today sharing grief with you. He will bring us through. My prayers continue for your family and I will pray for Jared.
Oh my Word...my three children were hit by a drunk driver who was more concerned about his dogs in the car being injured than my children.
My dear You may not have reached your drunk driver, but I am here to tell you you reached me...
God has given you a precious gift of ministering to the grieving.
I have no words, but to say thank you and bless you always!
So well said Patricia.....ministering to the grieving.
@@carolsferra3582 That would be me.
AMEN she speaks to me every time she shares. The power of the Lord flowing through her life and all that she's gone through
My son in law killed a mother and daughter he was drunk . He asked forgiveness from the family , our family, his 3 children and owned his action. He got 30 years prison.
@@loriannskaggs2357 Hugs. People disapper when you say stuff like that. I will give you a thumbs up for being so brave ... and not being a coward like most people ARE. 💗
I knew a lady who's daughter had been killed by a drunk driver. He was a migrant worker here from another country. She went to the jail, took an interpreter and lead him to Christ. Then she, with her church, organized a mission trip to his hometown in his country and she ministered to his family there. Abba can give us grace that surpasses human capability for sure. You're an amazing child of God.
That’s incredible!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Heather, we just love seeing you. You don't have to cook or can. Just hearing you is inspirational. You don't even know how uplifting you are for us. Please just continue to heal and come visit us whenever you can. Come back when you are ready. We'll still be here waiting with love and patience. Bless you and your kiddos!
That is exactly what I would say too. Your faith is so beautiful and so encouraging. I will pray for Jared too. I don’t think Matt’s death was in vain no matter what he decides. You’ve allowed God to bring good from this tragedy and you’ve touched so many people with the love of God. Bless you and never feel pressure that you have to make spectacular videos- like Shelley said we just love seeing you. It helps us yo know what we can pray for for you guys also. Hang in there and keep smiling and abiding in Jesus
I agree.
I don’t know you but
your relationship with the Almighty is profoundly moving. Please seriously consider live-streaming this way. This ministered to me and I am certain many others. Beauty for ashes. I also am in Michigan , Ann Arbor area. You moved the mama in me you could be my daughter. Continue pressing forward as painful as it is. That connection with the Holy Spirit is everything. As I said I don’t know you but I love you. This is church!❤❤❤❤
Still on my prayer list. I know exactly what you are talking about.. teaching every muscle all over again from a bad stroke! I think of you so often! Have always a ys sent my love in my prayers.
Amen! ❤
Heather, it's your love for Jesus that the world so desperately needs to see! I love you for sharing your pain, your forgiveness and your hope. You really are such an encouragement to all of us!
❤️
Amen God bless you
Your spirit is a mighty one. You are a bright light in the midst of all the darkness that happened to you and your family. The Holy Spirit is alive and well in your soul…God bless you on your continued journey to total healing. It was good to hear your heartfelt testimony💕
Heather you are the most amazing woman I have ever known in my entire life. Coming from a background in law-enforcement I've seen some very horrific accidents that have totally destroyed families, both physically and mentally. I am now retired and I just wanted to tell you you're an inspiration to everybody! You and your family have been through so much pain that most people could never experience in three lifetimes. You and your family will always be in our prayers.
Thank you for your service! I don’t know what I would have done without the tender mercy of law enforcement and medical staff from several hospitals. Everyone was so kind to me. Matt C&C so going to the sheriffs dept to retrieve his gun was so emotional for me and the police officers were so unbelievably kind. The way they protected me from online trolls who stalked me. How they drove by my house to keep an eye on me until my Dad was here. All through the court hearing. All of it. Wonderful. It’s a thankless job so….thank you!
God Bless you
Your learning to walk without a cane is a miracle all in itself!
Amen!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congratulations! You've made such fantastic progress! TY for sharing your difficult story. I continue to pray for you. You are loved!
You did not ramble at all. For having 2 TBI and all you have been through, you are remarkably composed and articulate. You have been through unbelieveable pain and trauma, that most people can't even imagine. If you need time, take time, just know we will always be here.
Yes...yes...yes...WE LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT...THATS WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST DOES SIS !!!!
Amen!
God Bless you and your beautiful children ❤️
Always.
You take all the time you need !!! You have been through so much and your family! I will pray for Jared like you asked... I hope he gets the he.needs ..Take care of yourself we all will be here-!
God Bless You!! What an inspiration... this video needs to be played in every DWI class across America. What a way to honor Matt and have some good come out of a horrible event.
I wonder how I go about something like that?
Dear lady, we feel honored that you would reach out to us. We share in your pain with our thoughts and prayers. Love you and yours!
I really needed to hear this. My father was killed last year in a road rage altercation. He was run over by the guys who started the whole thing. My heart has been very heavy for us all. Thank you so much for showing me that His grace truly is sufficient.
Right after the incident I prayed for them. That they may find Jesus..
God IS sovereign!!! Yes! Thank you Heather! Sending continued prayers for you and your family.
Lord have mercy. I am so sorry. What a senseless murder. Anger. Rage. Lord, lift it from your heart. I am so sorry Kaycee. 💔😭🙏🏻
@@TheKneadyHomesteader thank you so much Heather. You are such a beautiful soul.
How terrible! People have gone mad. Prayers for you and your family.
Prayers all around for everyone, 🙏🏼😢❣️
@@joyful_tanya the worst part is that the DA wasn't going to prosecute because my dad was defending himself with a pocket knife
Your testimony here on this video is the most powerful spoken words that a human can profess! God HAS used you, not only for Jarod, but for every person that watches this video. Your words & beautiful spirit will help so many. Thank you for your candor, your Christian spirit and your infectious smile! God bless you and your family!
I don’t know what Jared’s choice might be or if he will have a testimony, but yours is simply incredible Heather. God bless and heal you and your children ❤️
Jared’s response to the accident sounds very much like he’s in denial and active in his disease. I hope he chooses recovery. His addiction is a prison in and of itself. My husband is a recovering alcoholic and I thank God his story didn’t turn out like Jared’s. Bless you for giving him a serious talk about changing his life around. He likely hasn’t had a talk like that from anyone. Sending so much love to you and your family.
Hi Heather, Grannie Cyndy from South Australia here, just found your name after reading through comments.
Your video just popped up in my feed and I watched it. You are an absolute blessing. I was in tears hearing your heartbreaking story. But your grace, obedience to our Lord in the most trying circumstances and your willingness to forgive is such an amazing testimony.
I know that you truly are His by your fruit. 'Forgive them Father for they know not what they do'. 💕
Jared might never be awakened and changed, but your tragic, painful, beautiful, blessed, sorrowful, and amazing journey and YOUR response to such extreme heartbreaking events HAS awoken me. Your husband and love of your life and the father of your children did not die in vain! Your experience has prompted me to resume faith in the savior! You are such an example of how to live a life worth living.
they angels rejoice... a parodical has come home...no greater feeling
Praise God Lori!!!!!
This has me in tears. What a wonderful thing. Holding on to our faith can be challenging. God will never forsake us. 💙
We're continuing to pray for y'all. Please know we won't stop.
Amazing faith in God our father.Amen
Hi Mrs Alma, how is your precious baby grandson doing? Much better & home with Mama & Daddy I pray 🙏
Hi Mrs Trumble as we pray 🙏🏼 together again
I see the Lord's strength in you I hear his strength too. I'm so sorry you have had to go through all of this. You are touching lives right now!! You have touched my heart!❣️
@@judyberends7021 Amen.
My first husband went home almost 20 years ago. He was killed in a car accident caused by an illegal immigrant in southern Ohio. This person disappeared before trial. I had to realize that his fate was and is in God’s hands and it was not my fate to worry about him anymore. My focus had to be on picking up my life (for me and my son)and rebuilding. It’s so nice to hear you have such wonderful support and a beautiful relationship with God. You can do this. Keep picking yourself up and pushing on. My prayers are with you ♥️ Much Love
I am so sorry. I can’t even fathom! But God is sovereign over everything. 🙏🏻❤️ I press into that often!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader Amen! I can’t imagine what you’ve been through, but I know you’ll make it with God’s grace.
I’m so glad to see you are doing well. I’m so sorry for all you and your family have been through. It’s heartbreaking.
On November 26th our youngest daughter, Jennifer (39 years old) and I were hit head on by a driver that was on drugs & alcohol. We were both critically injured. She passed away on January 7th. She was the single Mother of a 16 year old son.
I’m still recovering and looking at more surgeries. The trial for the man that hit us will be sometime this summer. It’s currently scheduled for May 8th but subject to change. I pray we get #JusticeforJen
God Bless you and your family.

🙏
So sorry for your loss Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you for this. I think a lot of people need to know what forgiveness looks like.
Did you just see it, or did you really FEEL it ?
You are a warrior woman! Continued prayers for the healing of you and your beloved family. Thanks for checking in with us!
Thank you Heather. Not for fulfilling our curiosity, but for sharing what God has done in and through you by the power of the Holy Spirit. I will join you in praying for Jared and his family as I continue to pray for you and yours. 🙏🏼You are a great example of the forgiveness Christ gives to us all. What a blessing you are. ❤️
How wonderful that you have given him the opportunity to turn his life around and that you pray for him every day. Many people would not be able to do what you have done.❤❤❤
I would not have been but then again no one is Heather.
You bring me to my knees spiritually. What a beautiful soul you are. I haven’t even been able to forgive small things in my life and here you are forgiving a man that hurt your family in an unimaginably deep way. What an inspiration you are.
I agree! And such a strong spirit only God can provide. She's such a lovely example of what God can do.
She's the sweetest 💗
Oh Alisha......I feel the same way......Heather has a lot to teach us. Blessings!
@@carolsferra3582 she really is a blessing.
I couldn't agree more. She is grace. That's the first word that came to my mind.
Heather you've got the sweetest little giggly laugh and I just love it, your laugh is infectious!!! Matt would be so proud of you and the children and how far you have come, and all that your family has done for you, Matt would be ecstatic about that. Keep doing what your doing and keep Jesus close to your family, heart and soul. Praying for you and your children and your ama extended family. Not everyone has a family like that and they are a blessing from above and they are your angels on earth. I'm so proud of all you progress as well! God bless to all!!!
Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Forgiveness is not weakness but strength to know you can live.
Amen!🙏🏻♥️
Amen
Thank you 🙏
Amen!
If you only knew how this tragedy affected us viewers...heartbreaking and heartbroken sorrow...prayers always for all of you.⚘
Well I don’t think my comment posted so I’m going to try to remember it all and post again.
You have such a beautiful spirit I’m sure we are all glad just to see you posting 😊. As for me I would love just to see you read a few Bible verses or do a short devotional…. We aren’t worried about seeing you do a canning or cooking video right now.
Now more than ever we need godly women like you speaking on a public place like UA-cam.
My husband was in an accident with a TBI and unless someone has had a loved one dealing with a TBI it can be hard to imagine the difficulties it can cause.
Hearing the forgiveness and the loving caring heart you have is such an amazing example of God’s love and forgiveness for all of us. I worked with special needs kids for several years and it blew my mind how many of the kids were innocent enough they would talk about how their parents would have the kids do the parent’s test….unbelievable….
I am so sorry you and your family have had to endure all this. It just doesn’t seem fair.
There are so many people struggling with so many issues these days … is there a specific devotional or Bible study you’re doing that you could share with us?
You are truly a blessing to so many. Please know that there are so many of us still praying for you and your family. God bless you my sweet sister in Christ 🥰.
This comment is everything this morning. 🙏🏻♥️ Thank you! Being online and sharing is not easy. It is shocking how many cruel people are out here. I know it’s the enemy trying to keep me from brining Gods Kingdom down. It is not fair. But suffering I am learning is the one thing we share with Jesus, and the Lord sees it. Feels it. And never leaves us. 🙏🏻 He is sovereign and good and righteous and he will restore what the enemy steals. It is a daily reminder on social media just how broken people are. And lost from the Lord. 🙏🏻 It makes me weep often. Thank you for your comment. I am pinning it. I think youtube now allows short videos. Maybe a daily devotional would be something others would like too? I will pray on it. 🙏🏻♥️ thank you for such kind words this morning. 🥰
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I agree with the lady who posted this. I’m brand new to you and your story. I wondered where your faith was in the Lord as I had watched the White bread video and your “hardest video ever” followed. I’ve been binge watching ea one not wanting to jump to the end for some reason. God is allowing me to feel, cry, grieve for things I haven’t in 15 yrs- 7 since my husband couldn’t handle my injuries and undiagnosed TBI from 8 yrs prior!! I lost all! So, I’m praying with and for you as I walk an unfair healing journey my mind and heart are ready to take (no daily memory for 7 yrs. Groundhog’s Day in real life).
Is there still a GoFundMe set up? What’s the best way to send you a love offering Heather? I’m letting your commercials/ads play that o normally would click through or circumvent. Deb
So Sorry for your loss & All you’ve gone through.. the accident.. injuries & loss of your husband.. My prayers are with you & those you love. 💗I’m praying for Jerry too & for his Deliverance from Alcohol!.. his Salvation..(& that God will use him. & his testimony)..to help others & to Glorify His Name!!🙏🙏🙏
God Bless You & Your Family with His Strength & Comfort as you Go through this Difficult time!!Much Love & Many Hugs!!💔🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️👑💗💗
My dear, you are a nicer person than I!! In 2007, My 17year old daughter and her friend were both killed in a similiar crash. The guy driving the car they were in was high on drugs. He was charged 7-20 years for killing both of them. He served 11 years. I believe the charges should be more severe. Everyone of driving age knows the consequences of driving under the influence. I pray and think of you and the kids every day. I watched you since before you were pregnant with Mina. I send you strength and a great big giant hug!!!
11 years for two lives is unfair! What is wrong with these judges.
I am honestly amazed at your strength, and your ability to forgive. I truly pray for continued comfort for you and your kids.
Your compassion for Jared (sp) is commendable Heather. Including his poor parents in that, is astounding.
Bless you.💜
I lost my husband in an accident when I was 32. I know as a mother you have to move forward and be strong for your children. I believe we carry our dead with us every day, and grieve when we can. You will find that time makes things a bit easier, a bit more accepted. Forgiveness is a huge thing for YOUR recovery. Jared will never be your burden, so let him go. You are doing so so much better and a true warrior so be proud and take care of you!
We come here for you Heather, not for anything else. ❤
That about sums it up for me too ❤
Absolutely ❤️
Me too!
I can't even express how wonderful it was to see your face light up at the mention of your birds. I have 18 hens, 2 turkeys, 3 ducks, and a peacock. I'm planning to get my peacock some girlfriends this year! All my best to you. So much love.
They are the best therapy animals!!!!
I am so glad you forgave him for your sake. I hope when he gets sober he has a great awakening 💕
I am so sorry for your loss. My children were hit by a drunk driver n 2020. Our lives will never be the same. You story , so much of it I or my children could have written. My husband had compassion for the driver but he asked for an apology which we had never received in the nearly four years that had passed. The man refused even the judge was shocked. As we left the courtroom I began to shake violently. I have since learned that our bodies will tremble and it’s a means of releasing trauma from our brain. In the four years I would start to tremble or cry and I would force myself to stop. Tell myself I was making life affecting decisions on behalf of my children and I couldn’t break down. During Covid I was alone as my husband wasn’t allowed to be with me and our oldest son but he said that he watched me shutting down my humaness in an effort to be stoic. After the court was over I felt something begin to lift a little each day. I would be driving and tears would begin to fall. I ended up changing our schedules and taking time to step back. I am beginning to heal. Everyone deals with this in their own way. I pray for your healing and peace and for those who have shared their stories here.
I am so very sorry and I hope your family grows stronger and heals more with every day. Thank you for such kind words. God bless you and your family!
Wow, I’m not crying 😭 I’m amazed at how much grace and forgiveness you’ve been able to attain through this all.
Found you on youtube recently when looking for canning. Saw your recent tragic horror and now watch you with so much compassion. No words will ever suffice. So so so so so so sorry. God be with you and your whole entire family. 🙏🏼 ❤️
My dear lady I just stumbled on your page you broke my heart on one hand but I'm so impressed with your power of healing both physically and how our sweet Jesus has helped you spiritually. You and your family will be in my prayers daily
Thank you so much and so happy to have you here!
I can’t hardly find the words. This very raw testimony has pulled me, just as others, into a very sacred place where the Holy Spirit holds you up and speaks to our hearts as only God can do. You are the one in this place and not only did you and your families’ path meet in that moment but all of our paths as well. I pray that you feel joy again. ❤
You worded that absolutely perfectly. Perfectly
Your comment is beautiful.♥️
For once in my life i'm lost for words ,absolutely lost for words . You're one strong lady to come on here and speak of salvation for the man that changed your life forever is beyond words . My prayers are on going ,as I share your pain ,having lost my only Son on Christmas Day last year. Grieving for me will be forever . My love and prayers to you all xxx 🙏💔
I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏💕
Very sorry for your pain, I truly cannot imagine. 😞. God Bless
I sorry you lost your son Barbara. 💖🇦🇺
My heart goes out to you ❤🙏
Thank you all for your kind words .God bless you all xx
I have just found your channel, I am so so sorry for everything you have gone through. But look how GOD is blessing you back to health!!! I am 71 and have dealt with many deaths and sad things, but I pray for your families health and love. I just learned this saying, which is I choose FAITH OVER FEAR. I WISH YOU THE SAME!!!❤
AMEN!!!! And thank you! So happy to have you here.
We are just happy to see & hear from you. Take all the time you need... We'll wait for when your ready. God bless.
There are no words for how inspirational your faith is. I have friend who's husband was just killed by a drunk driver. It's heartbreaking all the way around, just like you said. "There are no winners here!!" Your example is how Christians should ALWAYS act. Bless you and your family!!
Praying for her 💔🙏🏻 When will the senseless killing stop
I don't drink 🍷🍻🍷 it's against my faith, and I'm thankful to have the word of Wisdom, from my church! I feel bad that liquor is being pushed so hard on everyone, and young people are clueless to the consequences of drinking, and other things they do in this day and age! People today don't live in reality! It's so sad , but Jesus Christ 🙏🏻💜🌸 will return and all will be made well again!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader On Aug 27 at about 313 AM, in my somewhat sleep, I heard - He’s bringing the rapture at the speed of light.
From nineplanets I read a bit on the speed of light. Saw this: We know that nothing can surpass the speed of light, at least in theory. If you’d have the power to move with the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second.
Oct 26, 2020, I heard - Biden Harris
July 31,2021 I heard - Stay in the Word.
Aug 1, 2021, I heard - Do not fear what is coming.
Aug 9, 2021 - Surge. Isolate.
In 2019, I heard - famine and plague.
Jan 26, 2021. Heard - War is coming Shawna. Better prepare. Prophesy.
April 9, 2021, before going to bed, my vision went black for a quick moment, and then I saw in gold letters: Thus saith the Lord. About four hours later, April 10, during my sleep I heard: Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 1235 AM, our area had a small earthquake registering 3.1.
In April 2019, I heard - Tell them I am coming soon. Later in the day I heard: There will be a great shaking. When I didn't tell a particular church about it, I got a dream where I was scared. I could hear myself saying: I'll tell them, I'll tell them, I'll tell them. Then I saw a person in the dark with well lit windows behind him and another person dressed in white walking behind him and up some stairs.
Dec 20, 2021. I had a dream of an eagle on a power line. I was standing below and looking up at the eagle as it sat there, calmly, looking around. Then it started to morph into a dragon. Then I was above that dragon looking down at it with its wings spread open. I could see the black veins in the right wing.
I was in QFC one day and a song caught my attention. I believe the Lord wanted me to hear it. It's called - Get Closer by Seals and Crofts. (also look at lyrics). Supporting scripture - James 4 vs 8 and Zechariah 1 vs 3.
@@stardustgirl2904 - Well said! Drinking is glorified on social apps especially with young people. It is a horrible, devastating legal drug.
@@BBB-rd2qi Thank you ❗💯👍🏻🙏💜 My son knew a guy at his work and they became friends, he was older and hat two daughters. One daughter was a party girl, he tried to get her to make better decisions for herself ❗ The other daughter stayed clear of that lifestyle, until she decided to attend a party 🎉 she thought it might be fun. She went, she started drinking and ended up killing someone from drinking and driving, she's 21 year's old, and her entire life is ruined ❗Her parents sold there house 🏠 and bought one next to the prison she was being kept at! Not to mention,she ruined the victim's family, as well , it's so incredibly sad ,my heart goes out to them with my prayers ❗🙏 These young people today don't understand these bad things that can happen from drinking ❗And the government doesn't care what happens to these families ❗ The government doesn't care about any of us, we don't need alcohol in society at all, it's not helpful in any way, to anyone ❗And at the end of the day, your problems are still there❗💜👍🏻💯🎄⛄🦌
You probably will never know what an impact your story and subsequent journey will have on people you will never meet. As a 5year recovering alcoholic I can tell you personally that your story WILL make a difference in someone’s life. Maybe not Jared, but another lost soul suffering from the fatal disease that is alcoholism. God is the answer to healing and recovery, period. Hopefully Jared will go to AA meetings in jail and find his way to God and recovery through this amazing 12 step program. But regardless, you are a testament to hope, resilience and faith. God bless.
You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your testimony. I was hit by a drunk driver which resulted in 5 back surgeries and still suffer debilitating pain every day. It’s now been 12 years. He never served any jail time and I struggled with forgiving him. I thought I did but hearing you made me realize I actually never truly did. Thank you for reminding me that he is also deserving of God’s grace and mercy and I should be praying be praying for his soul every day. Thank you so much! ♥️
I know this must have been so difficult for you to tell us how the trial and subsequent outcome went. Even more amazing is how you talked to him face to face and continue to pray for him. I have so much admiration for you, Heather. And besides, you have adorable chickens and turkeys!
I have no words......tears. What an amazing, beautiful woman of God. Such an inspiration.
Watching your train of thought process heal as these update videos come out is incredibly encouraging to see. Regardless of the topic, seeing you recover is a gift that can't be described. Your journey is proof that God can carry us through anything. Thank you for the uplifting reminder that God is using everything.
Wow so true. ❤
May God continue to use you and to keep Matt's story alive in Jared's life. May Jared be convicted by the Holy Spirit. May Jared find God and may you and your family face each tomorrow with a brighter smile knowing your burden was lifted the day you let God be in control. I know it had to be hard to walk in faith during this time.
You are being used by The Lord in a mighty way Hun! You are setting such an example of what it looks like to have an obedient heart submitted to Jesus ❤ I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and the pain your family has been through. May the Lord give you peace and comfort. Prayers for continued healing on this journey 🙏 ❤
Prayers for you & the kids, Ms. Heather. You look much better now. God is answering the prayers that I'm sure lots of people have been saying for you.
Your testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness in the midst of deep personal tragedy is SO important for us to hear. As someone has already said, “He is already using this story for His Glory.” Thank you so much for sharing what He is teaching you. We hear you. ❤
Thank you for having the strength to tell your story and thru God giving a struggling person the gift of forgiveness and a chance for redemption even thru all your pain and grief. It takes a very special person and faith to be able to do that. Heather your smile absolutely lights up a room.....wishing you sunny days ahead. You have restored my true belief in goodness during these trying times.
What a powerful testimony you have given. May God continue to bless and guide you as you continue to heal. May your children continue to heal both physically and emotionally
Thank you so very much ♥️🙏🏻
Your message will reach millions! Continued prayers for you and your family and theirs!
Thank you for sharing this difficult video. Unfortunately addiction is such a selfish disease and Jared may or may not heal. You showed him grace and that’s such a powerful thing. I’ll pray for him and for my own son who suffers from addiction as well. ❤️
You are one of the bravest/strongest people I have ever seen. ❤️
Heather, thank you for sharing your story. It is amazing how the Lord has carried you through this. Your story of walking with the Lord, forgiveness and of allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you during the trial touched my heart and I am sure it has and will touch the hearts of many. Forgiveness is critical and so many people need to hear that testimony. The world is full people who carry anger and the poison of unforgiveness in their hearts. I, for one, am not waiting for brighter more cheery videos - walking with you in whatever small way I can and learning from your testimony is huge. Thank you, sister in Christ. Know you, your family and Jared are in my prayers.
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible , look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is love and mercy itself. Amen. (From the Chaplet of Divine Mercy)
@@delizabethdelizabeth2300, one of my favorite prayers!
Heal. Take whatever time you need. If talking to us, or just showing us your chickens, is what brings you some peace & joy, then please, do so. You do not ramble, you inspire, and bring comfort to others. Continued blessings to you
That was heart wrenching.
I was glad to hear you laugh a little at the end.
Praying for your continued healing. 🙏🏻
Always end it on a good note…. Chickens!😆♥️
We lost a dear friend this year to a drunk driver. A UA-camr by the name Steph Pappas just lost her father and dog to a drunk driver. The scary part about drunk driving is anyone can do it. Anyone can obtain alcohol, over consume, and get behind the wheel of a vehicle. One decision can cost so many lives. All we can do is say a prayer before we leave our homes, things like this will never make sense or be fair 🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing this Heather. 5 years is not enough for what he cost you/your community/family/friends. But thank you for continuing to spread your light even in darkness! ✨️ Hang in there!
This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for such a tremendous loss. Your Matty is with the Lord and together he and our Lord has and is absolutely watching over you. God Bless you!
Your godliness and your testimony has touched me beyond words! Thank you for sharing your deepest sorrows here and giving God the glory for bringing you through it all. You are a precious soul!
Oh, Heather, I cry along with you. I can not wrap my brain around what you are going through and how difficult it must be to forgive him. The fact that he takes no accountability makes it that much worse. It's good to know that while he is in prison, he will not be able to drink one more drop and will then have to face his demons. It will probably be the first time that he will finally feel guilt. God is using you mightily. I'm praying for you. You totally amaze me.
Please post those videos. :D ♥🙏
I had a cousin that was like a brother to me! He was an EMT and dedicated his life to saving others! He was very family oriented but was not married and had no children! He was 24 years old and one of a kind! He let his best friend share his home with him and one night his friend used my cousins own rifle and shot my cousin in the head killing him! This guy never served a night in jail! Couple of years later my uncle passed who was a minister and pastored a church passed away, due to stress and a broken heart! My aunt about 5 years later saw the young man in a grocery store and she walked up to him and told him she forgave him and she witnessed to him about the Lord! He walked away! She worked for the Lord as a minister until she was 94 years old and brought many to accept salvation and left earth for her heavenly home about 4 years ago! She always said God gave her grace to show that young man grace!
@@vaughncurry1239 OMG, that guy was a psycho
The way you lit up talking about your chickens, turkeys and kids at the end is absolutely EVERYTHING. I am grateful for your channel and your courage and willingness to share. I’d be all over watching and doing a series of Bible studies with you if you ever feel led.
Me too!!!!!!!
Same! I’d love to do a Bible study with Heather if she feels led to do one. ❤🕊
Such an inspirational and motivating speaker! Forgiveness is the key factor, and I just got it yesterday FINALLY! Then I found this lovely video from you, Heather. Just what was needed to give more encouragement. Thank you! You cheered me up as well as led me to a deeper understanding of grace and forgiveness. You are such a blessing. I will keep you, your family, those helping you recover and move forward in life, as well as for Jarred and his family all in my prayers. God bless!
Your grace and faith is so inspiring, Heather! My family also found out first hand how broken our justice system is. My husbands life was forever changed by a juvenile. Because he was a juvenile, he received a slap on the wrist. In the years that have followed, he has continued to reoffend and still walks free to this day. It has taken many years for me to forgive him. I hold on to the knowledge that he, too, will be judged by the only one who can judge us. God bless you and your family Heather! Much love from south Texas.
I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I'm new to your channel and blown away by your strength and commitment to not only healing your body but also your emotions and helping your children heal as well. You have a very strong faith and I'm sure that helps you through those difficult days. On that brighter note you spoke of, you are teaching me to bake bread and it's helping to heal my guys skin issues. Turns out he's allergic to preservatives! Thank you so very much.
I see you!🥰 and thank you so much sweet sister. God bless you! I appreciate you being here. Welcome!😁❤️
So good to see U looking healthy and beautiful. I pray for your recovery everyday!
Thank you Heather for sharing this with us. I admire you so much, your strength, your courage and most of all your faith. May God keep you and your family safe in his arms always. Praying for you all.
Amen, thank you for sharing your uplifting messages and just what brings you joy. Keep sharing the joys you find in all you feel comfortable sharing, your smile is beautiful!
Wow! You are such an amazing person. I wish I could be half the person you are. I don’t believe I could be as forgiving as you are, specially with Jarred’s reaction to what transpired. You are a special lady. May God bless you and your family always.
thank you so much.... all glory to God! I keep my eyes on Him.
God Bless You! What a witness you were to this young man.
I am honored to call you my sister in Christ. I'll be praying for Jared, too. Excited to meet you one day when we both get to heaven. *hugs*
Bless you! What powerful testimony. Even if this does not change him it can reach someone else and pivot their life. Keep God close he’s the almighty healer ❤
Thank you for the update. You have been through so much yet you are still have the more adorable, beautiful face. Blessings.
It's wonderful to see how far you have come. When I look back at what you have been through, it is the Lord who has carried you in his arms and cared for you, he has nourished your soul. May God continue to bless you with healing as you greet each new day. Keeping you in our prayers, all the way from New Zealand. 💜💚💙🧡💛❤
Also because of your channel I started food preparation, and had many plans, my family loves you and your and the Lord is our comforter, Amen
That is awesome!🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😄
as a long time subscriber, i appreciate the difficulty it took to update us. your sharing is a witness for so many, it is with gratitude i thank Him for you! hugs from ours to yours.
Heather your sorrow runs so deep, you let it out to all of us that care so much. Bless your Sweetheart and give those babies of yours hugs.
Heather please keep sharing with us, what God is doing in and through you is a supernatural miracle.We need to hear this.Thank you for your Faithfulness.
What a brave soul you are and what amazing strength you have shown in the midst of the nightmare that you and your family have all been through. We are all praying for your full recovery in every way possible. It’s a miracle you are even alive and that you’ve done your best to let go of the anger. Thank you for sharing your healing journey. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the update on your recovery. And thank you for the info on Jared and how his sentencing all went down. You are such a brave angel to hold his hand and speak to him. I pray your words touched his heart, or will touch his heart while he serves out his hopefully 15 years sentence. I pray that you and your children are touched daily by the Holy Spirit. God bless you always! I pray you accomplish your desires to be walking without any aid by the holidays.
I just want to say that you are an absolutely stunningly beautiful woman inside and out. I am new to your channel, I don't even know if you still make content but when I first saw your face I saw how beautiful you were before you even said a word...and then you spoke...and I was just shook by your heart and your kindness and forgiveness. God bless you. I hope that you and your children are doing even better. And I hope that your pain has lessened and that you are more mobile. I am handicapped due to pain myself so I feel for you. It's a very difficult thing to master and live with. You and your children deserve the best that life has to offer.
Tears poured the whole time watching this.. you are such an incredible woman! Praise be to God for giving you the strength to endure this. And so much respect to you for turning to the Lord through such heartache and trial.. such an inspiration! May God continue to restore you and your children and give you peace! 🙏🙏🙏
Heather, you said what needed to be said. Continued prayers for this cross you must bear. Hugs always.
You know as you spoke to us with your solemn words, the sun shined brighter and brighter on you, and put you in a beautiful glow. That is testimony to the grace and love you are receiving as you walk through this time in your life. I feel it, believe it, and see it.
You look SO SO beautiful here! Heather, you can just say hello and there is no need to cook, clean, or "do" for us. Choosing to share your grief process and spiritual journey is remarkable. You might consider sharing a bible study with us. . .you are a total inspiration. May the mercies of Father God continue to be new each day to you and your children .
Heather you’re so strong and such a good woman. My heart hurts for you. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all this. ❤
Your testimony is proof of God’s unending mercy and grace. Your family is in my prayers. Today you touched my heart with your faith. I know the Lord will continue to walk with you daily. God bless you and may you continue to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit. ❤
Such a powerful testimony, I got chills. God bless you and your family, friends and church. Prayers for Jared and his family, always prayers for you and yours
Thanks Dawn♥️
I’ve missed you. You look as pretty as normal! I’m glad you are doing better, I know it’s a hard road to travel, I had to learn to walk over when I was in my teens. My injuries weren’t nowhere near what you had. I’m so proud of you.
Hun, don’t let others put you in an uncomfortable situation. You need to let yourself heal mentally as well. We all love you, we can wait until you are ready.
One day at a time sweet Jesus... After your video ended that song popped into my head. You all are going to all get through this because God has a plan for each and every one of you!!!
Amen! He is a redeemer and restorer!!!!!
We are all waiting for the rapture. Praise God.
Thank You for sharing this with us. I will pray for Jarred and hope he finds in his soul what he has done to the lives on so many people. You are strong, you are healing from the inside out! Keep the faith lady! You got this girl!
Heather, you truly have God's strength with you. All of us know how much you and Matt loved each other, and I don't know if I would have had the strength or the courage to be so graceful to someone who wrecked my life. My heart aches for you and your families loss. You inspire me to seek God more diligently, and I thank you for your testimony....that's really what we're here to do, give our testimony of God. His light definitely is shining through you, and you are surrounded with it....I can see it. We love you Heather, never give up and always know God is with you and carrying you when you think you can't make it....Footprints in the sand.
Jesus took the ultimate wrath for us. Anyone who follows him will encounter suffering in some way. It’s steel sharpening steel. Through the pain, you find the true meaning of live and joy. Purpose in the pain. I hold into that. Look how close it has brought me to all of you. 🙏🏻
I binged watch a bunch of your videos, especially your odyssey of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. God bless you. I am so glad yo7 found love again and your children happy to have you Dad again.
thank you so much! that is so kind of you. God bless!
Wonderful to see you, dear one. I have been watching old canning videos some to help what I am currently doing and others just to watch and learn. We enjoy whatever you are comfortable with doing. Prayers continue for all of you.
I want to can apple pie filling so bad!☺️
@@TheKneadyHomesteader oh if you think you can please do but don’t push yourself. I’m going to can my apple butter recipe hopefully before surgery in a month. Sending up prayers still for you sweet Heather you have come so far. You are far better than I forgiving him but I do understand you have 2 children to raise and all of your PT, your such an amazing woman.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
You are an inspiration. I lost my husband just before you lost yours so I feel connected to you to some degree. I can't lie and say I've been the Christian I should have been, I'm working on that and you help in that aspect greatly. Thank you for allowing God to use you and for sharing your story.
It’s just your light and witness the world needs. God bless you, Heather. May God continue to heal your body.
Thank you Mary❤️
Most people have to go through tragedy without a voice or much or any support, medically and financially. It’s good that you realize how blessed you are in spite of what happened to you and your family.
