Come with me as I go home to Gumlog visit my childhood and try to find my way forward. This is a lifelong journey of faith and hope.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Put God First!

STEPS TO PEACE WITH GOD
1. God’s Plan-Peace and Life
God loves you and wants you to experience His peace and life.
The BIBLE says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
(John 3:16).
2. Our Problem-Separation
Being at peace with God is not automatic, because by nature you are
separated from God.
The BIBLE says: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
3. God’s Remedy-The Cross
God’s love bridges the gap of separation between God and you. When
Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the
penalty for your sins.
The BIBLE says: “He personally carried the load of our sins in his own
body when he died on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24, tl b).
4. Our Response-Receive Christ
You cross the bridge into God’s family when you receive Christ by
personal invitation.
The BIBLE says: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the
right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His
name” (John 1:12).
To receive Christ you need to do four things:
1. ADMIT your spiritual need. “I am a sinner.”
2. REPENT and be willing to turn from your sin.
3. BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross.
4. RECEIVE, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
CHRIST says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20).
The BIBLE says, “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved”
(Romans 10:13).
What to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my
sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and
follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🙏😇💜uBecky.
What a BEAUTIFUL area you grew up at. Absolutely beautiful.
Becky, thank you for being so sweet and loving. This is probably none of my business but after my husband passing away. Part of moving on is taking that wedding ring off. Perhaps you could consider that. I now wear a ring on my wedding ring finger that looks like a wedding band but is has the name JESUS inscribed on it. Since I'm the bride of Christ awaiting my Groom I now consider myself married to Jesus. It helped move on. Maybe you can remove that wedding ring and wear something else in its place, maybe a mother's ring or a birthstone ring. Just wanted to share with you. God Bless You Becky. You're such a special lady. Much Love to you dear. FYI I've been born again 44 years now.
Absolutely beautiful Becky I was blessed enough to live in some beautiful places too Mount Hood and Oregon and California when it was beautiful I'm 55. And I know the Lord is real. But I'm going through some really tough stuff right now. Thank you for sharing
When you lived in that one bedroom trailer, no electricity, no luxuries to speak of, I’m sure you had no idea how much you would richly bless thousands of us that follow you. Thank you for being who our Father created you to be. You are a precious person.
You spoke to many people through this video. I especially needed everything you were lead to say. Loved the Bible verses you quoted.
Thank you.
And you’ll know His Peace that surpasses all understanding😊…God bless you and bless you!
Amen Brenda! You are such a blessing to us all Becky and thank you for always sharing. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
When others see a shepherd boy, God may see a king ...
Bless you. Met my wife at age 15. She was born and raised on a farm. Loss her 3 years ago after 40 years. I Learned how to cook watching your videos.
You are the real deal Becky, everyone who follows you cares for your well being. I started writing your recipes down awhile back. Just this week I ordered your cookbook. That’s when I felt I could financially. You are such a blessing that I wanted to bless you back. I love the way you live the Lord and profess His name on your videos.
Thank you for sharing this, Gurl! ♥️♥️♥️
She’s definitely a genuine person.
Jeremiah 29-11 thank u. U helped me so much
We just lost 7 members in our family in less than a year. Most painfully was the loss of my 19 year old granddaughter from cancer in May. God is help us through this process and may others who are loving us through it. We are looking toward the Lord and thanking him for our future because we are a part of His Story! Thank you for a good word in due season.
Barbara Bryan So sorry for your losses. SO many people are dying🥺, and under blizzard circumstances too (famous people included). Cant help but suspect the jab, the big experiment on humanity. ...were all your losses: heart/stroke/aggressive cancer related? A lot of that going around, it's a shame.
Prayers for you and your family. God bless. Jesus is our rock and our salvation. May he shine his light on you and your family eternally.
May the God of ALL peace send you peace and comfort 🙏🏽
I understand your great loss. I lost 9 family members last year💔. I’m so thankful God gave us such wonderful people in our lives that were so precious that it hurts so bad when they’re gone💝. I’m so grateful for having them in my life. All the wonderful memories and the knowledge that they are home with our loving creator and savior is comforting. We were truly blessed! We are not of this world but just passing through on our way to our eternal home in Heaven 🙏🏻. May we show others the way by shining a light in a world of darkness. God bless and comfort you until you meet again 💝🌹
@@coffeeonthedeck6258 We are losing a lot of loved ones and colleagues as well, and all of them have been vaccinated😢 my BFF was reluctantly vaccinated to keep her job, and she was diagnosed with extremely aggressive Stage 4 esophageal and stomach cancer. She and her family know it was from the shot 😢 Thankfully it looks like she may beat it, but her oncologist said they’ve never seen an onslaught of cancer patients like they’ve been seeing starting about 8 months back😢 My BFF is only 54 and was extremely healthy. She sees my Dr, and my dr said my BFF was her 5th esophageal cancer diagnoses in less than 5 months, and before then, she hadn’t had one esophageal cancer patient diagnosis in her 25 yes of practice. All of them were vaccinated 😢
I lost my husband to cancer 17 years ago now. He missed our sons 2nd bday by 2 months. Some days are worse than others no matter how long they've been gone, but God is good and never left me alone in my pain.
I was widowed at 25, 32 yrs ago. We had 2 little kids and a baby.
I can’t wait to see him again.
I want to thank you, you saying the Lord says , don't look back, don't dwell on the past, look forward. GOD LOVES ME. I truly needed to hear this, I am 73years old, because of your words , l will no longer be sad and lonely.Thank you.
Precious, God bless you & Becky.🙏❤️🙏🌸👵
Becky, you’ll never know how much I needed your encouragement this morning. I truly believe that we receive what we need at the right time. You’ve dried my tears, as I contemplate on a very blessed future. Thank you
@Mary G Simply put... 'me too'. This was a life changing moment for me, straight from Daddy God. and Thank you Becky for allowing Him to use you!
I'm another "me, too". Thank you so much for your message. I wasn't sure why your video popped up, but I am thankful that it did.
Thank you Becky, this video popped up during a lot of questions and hurts I have been dealing with. I feel it was the answer I was needing. I pray Blessings and peace for you. You have a God given gift of explaining things that so many pastors cant get across. You are a true inspiration. Love and hugs to my sister in Christ.
You were speaking directly to me.. I lost my husband 5 years ago and my son 4 years ago.. I always was living in the past wishing they were here.. Wishing I could go back and change things and know what I know now.. Yes I believe in Jesus.. But I never thought of it like you presented it.. It gives me blessings every day... I talk to him 3 and 4 times A-day.. My faith is the only thing that has kept me going.. Thank you again
my mother lost her partner of 25 years about 6 years ago, she was forced into retirement 2 years ago because of the covid s/d in our state (at age 75), my brother passed this year at age 56 - he lived with my mother most of his life - a very bad codependant relationship but he really helped my mother stay in her house - sadly my mother has the catholic upbringing and of course left that church a long time ago - she thinks she believes in God - but not really. Its truly sad, her depression is beyond my capability of understanding - the darkness in the house, she has always seemed to love to wallow in it - even before all these things happen, Sadly - the rest of us are dead to her - her son was her most favorite person in the entire world - always - he could do no wrong. I just keep trying to lead her to Jesus - Im glad you are doing better - I will pray for you. I can say I can understand the pain of the loss - I try - I know I am not going through it like you are. May God bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand. I just always want to wrap people in love like a blanket on a cold day..
Susan please know you are not alone. Big hug 🤗 God Bless
You preach a better sermon than a great number of ordained ministers I've listened to in my life. 💜 I'm glad the first memory I have of my life, probably about 3 or 4 years old, was of my daddy reading to us from the Bible at night before we went to bed, I'm so lucky & so glad I had my mom and Dad, I miss them every day but I still have The Lord praise be to him.
I was 16 when I got married. My wonderful husband and I had 57 years of great memories, and 4 awesome kids. I lost him 18 months ago tommorow. But I know he is with our GREAT GOD and at some point I will be too! Some days are good and some are not, and that is when I think of you and offer my prayers for you. God bless you!
Beautiful. I had a similar journey “back home”. The house was gone. I was devastated. I prayed and reached the same conclusion as you. Keep your eye on the real prize. Heaven and Glory.
I have also "gone home" and you know, you really can't.
@@veronicastewart1112 I tried... but I wasn't able to find it. The house was there, different in some degrees. But the life, the memories, that made it my old home place, weren't there. I felt worse than empty. Like someone had reached in and snatched the last piece of broken heart from within my chest. So tearfully, I left my memories of what used to be in the rearview mirror, and I returned to my homeplace of now. Even this house feels empty. I was looking for something that wasn't ever there. And it isn't here either. It's in Glory 👼
@@SomeBuddy777 Amen. The ache in our hearts is for our Eternal Home...our real home.
“That's just one of those things that God did to take care of me, even before I knew him.” ❤
I wish I could give this a million likes. The best message that I have ever heard. Because this applies to me. Thank you so much sweet lady.💕
Thank you so much for watching it. God bless you!
Thank you Becky and LindyTN, also. This message is also what I needed to hear. My loss is more recent - March 2022 - but this video and Becky’s message is a balm to my mind and heart - as if it were directed to me- and yet I know I’m not the only one who is blessed to hear what Becky had to say…
@@nancyoshea8787 I am so sorry for your loss! I pray that our Heavenly Father may grant you His peace that passes all understanding as you navigate through this difficult season. There are no coincidences with God. He meant for you to see this. He is such a good good Father! The Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Anyway I pray healing and peace over you and your family in Jesus's mighty name! Amen and amen!😊🕊🔥💖✝️💕🫂🙏❤️
@Nancy O’Shea, I’m very sorry for you loss. Praying for your broken heart to be comforted by His peace. ✝️🙏
@@shalomsister Thank you so very much 🙏🏼 for your kind words - and for Psalm 30:5💖 The Lord is faithful! ✨☀️
Your words about not holding on to the past (my old life) really hit home. Surely God guided your words.
Hi! Your profile picture is very cute! I Just decided to stop by and say hi. I hope my compliment is appreciated
Catfishing much?
So beautiful. My childhood summers (1978-1988) were spent visiting my dad in Midway Tennessee. It was so far out of town that my stepmother didn’t even have indoor plumbing when she was college age(late 60’s early 70’s). I would walk or ride an old bicycle down dirt and gravel roads to get to Warrensburg Rd and then on to a sweet older lady’s farm to ride her horses. I would ride my horse through the Bible Covered Bridge over the Little Chucky Creek. My stepmom is a descendant of Christian Bible who built the bridge. I can still hear the sound of her hooves on the wood planks. The bridge is now a historic landmark in Greene County and is no longer in use. I would walk through the woods over the mountains to get to my Aunt Ruth’s home. Sweetest lady you could ever meet. The older women in my life in those Tennessee hills had a profound impact on my life and I am so blessed to have known them and to have experienced all I did during the summers. Summertime for me was so different than the rest of my year in Jacksonville, FL. My dad and stepmom, after living in St Augustine, FL for about 5 years, moved back to Tennessee where my dad passed away about 1.5 years later, in 2016. My heart is in those mountains, and those mountain streams. God, through The Great Smoky Mountains, has my heart in His warm, safe, beautiful grip. ❤️
Thank you. I have cried all through this video. Not from unbelief in CHRIST, but from sadness for you and myself. My husband went home to the LORD last June 30th and for one year my daughter hadn’t left my side except to go to work. I think she has moved forward and I’m feeling left behind, alone. I am just going to have to find a new niche for myself and make new friends. My husband was my whole world outside of CHRIST. I guess I’m just feeling sorry for myself. I keep reminding myself that there are so many others in way worse circumstances. I wish you all the best! GOD bless your journey!
Try and look at it as an exciting part to your life. You will never forget your husband, but life is now very different. I’m guessing he is still a big part of who you are. If you have health, family, and friends, you are so lucky. Try new groups, volunteering, helping others, as it will enrich your life. I’m sure your husband was a very special man for you to have loved him so much. Go out and tell stories to others on how he was special. It keeps his memory alive and allows you to move through some of the grief.
God bless you, dear sister, my heart hurts for you ❤. Jesus will see you through ❤️
10 years for my husband and 6yrs for my daughter both died of cancer and every day it still hurt’s
3:30 in the morning, couldn't sleep, ran across your latest content. I was completely unprepared for what you gave me, aimed directly at my ragged core with every single thing I needed to hear. Sometimes the medicine burns so badly going on the wounds, but that's what brings healing. Thank you so much for this. May He continue to hold and bless you. 🙏💛
Whew! Amen. I woke about the same time & saw it then also. I am just watching it again. I just love her & her family. She is an earth angel, I am sure.
Amen
Serena Thorne So sorry for your pain. 🙏
God is always there holding our hand helping us through, laughing, crying, and being at peace with us.
What an amazing and encouraging lesson and message the Lord laid on your heart, not just for your benefit, but for those of us who find ourselves in the final season of our life, longing for the "good old days". The past cannot be relived, but the memories do live on, reminding us of where we have been and how far we have come. Thank you so much for sharing this journey and God's message of hope with us.
There will be opportunities to share with the younger generations who have no wisdom on how getting by in hard times was done...how we got by and what life was like.They tried to wipe out the old and ancient wisdom by distancing..
the wisdom in nursing homes, using euthanasia, medical protocols that end life on their time line and remember the Bible did tell us about these times and the scorpion in Revelation 9:10-11.
As you started up your Granny's driveway I had such a very real flashback of Mom driving up to her Aunt Flori's. It was this dirt gravel path. It went by a big ole tobacco barn, the tobacco fields. The path was narrow with hay along the sides. And then we had to drive up and upon a hill. We then drove in grass. Past her neighbors house and then Aunt Flori's. Pull up the hill a little further, back down and turn (being mindful of the soft spot in the yard). Oh my gracious! This memory was so real. Thank you for sharing this from the LORD. 🤗🙋
It reminds me of a saying: yesterday is gone and tomorrow has yet to come, so we must live in the now and enjoy this moment. If we don't live in the now we will miss the true meaning of LIFE!!! We all have been through our peaks and valley's and the most important thing is to keep looking UP to God and give our best not our least to family, friends and many others. God knows all, see's all and hears ALL. It was a good thing to go back where you grew up and God blessed you with healings in the process. I thank YOU for this wonderful and beautiful video!!!
What a wonderful place! We are grateful for the childhood memories. We are grateful for the past, the present and the future. Thank you, Lord!
Amen 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. I find myself in the late stages of my life. (stage 4 cancer) And a desire to go back home to the mountains of WV. But after listening to your story. ,"I get it"... I need to let the past go. The only Home I need to seek is the Lord house. Again thank you and be Blessed.
I left the Appalachians 37 years ago and have been trying to get back all this time. Thank you for your message - I just miss my mountains so much but God needs me to shine my light in Ohio, so I will do that until he sets me on a different path.
You were speaking to me, Becky. My husband is 7 years older than I am and he is starting to slow down. I am terrified to lose my husband of 45 years. However, God knows how I feel as He and I talk about it. I believe He wanted me to see this video. It hurts and is peaceful at the same time to hear what you said. I have wondered how you got through everything you had to do. I know God just has to carry us when we get so down and lost, but then he does heal us. As a widow God takes care of us. No one is ever ready to become a widow. No one wants to become a widow. We can’t dwell in the past, or it will break our hearts. We have to live in the now, just like you so beautifully said. I know that God sent me to your video. I want to thank you for your sweet words of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, from the bottom of my heart. God sent you to help me. I am so humbled by that Becky. God bless and keep you.
I am in the same place as you. My husband is 6 years older than me and is slowing down. We have been married almost 50 years. I have the same fears but know that God will be with me just as He has been over my whole life. I will pray for you and please pray for me. I have a feeling that many women are feeling as we do.
Praying for you and your husband
Just beautiful…God bless you.🙏💕
@@sybilresh1905 Thank you Sybil. I certainly will pray for you. Whenever I hear of a new widow, it just breaks my heart for that widow. I believe God hears our prayers though and we can help each other through prayer.
Many are called few chosen
Thank you, Becky, for once again instilling God’s message in our hearts.
Clearly Becky, you've been delivered. You've been brought forward from a life of hardship, loss, and pain, into a new world of faith, hope, and more love than can be poured into an ocean. You've been sanctified and delivered to the hands of the Lord. It doesn't get any better than that. You are at peace with yourself, your love, and kindness. You are doing the work as a holy servant, which delivers you from all forms of evil. Blessed are we!
Amen💞✝️💞🥰
Yeap! God didn't ask our permission to do what he is doing.
Poor people are all the same......poor people eat & cook the same things... that's Culture. The path was made crooked. God took us, got us.
Amen , So Wonderfully said ✴️✝️✴️❣️... **This Comment is Truth** , Blessed are we Who walk with the Lord n Mighty Savior His Son Jesus Christ 🙏♥️🙏❣️... By his Blood We Are Delivered 👏⭐👏❣️
Well said and God bless us all. Thank you for being one of those blessings.
I just love watching you. It makes me feel like I'm sitting with a Godly grandmother imparting wisdom and a full belly to me. Thank you for persisting.
You will never know how much good your vid did for me. I lost an adult son 5 yrs ago. Raised 4 kids all grown now. Raising my 8 yr old grandson. I've had a very hard time with letting go of the past, grieving my son and moving on to what God has planned for me. After seeing this, it edged me forward more than anything else has. Thank you so much. God Bless you.
I am a Christian, raised in the church. I so desperately needed to hear your message to leave the past behind and move forward into the present. I have peace now. Thank you so much and God's blessings to you and yours.
Beautiful, Becky! Thank you for taking us on the journey with you. God Bless You!
Love to listen. Your voice is so soothing. Next month will be 5 yrs since my husband died. My depression just keeps getting deeper and deeper. I tell myself that things will be better tomorrow but nothing changes. I live alone. Kids an grandchildren live far off..just pray for me. I am 68 yrs old an just sit here all day.
So sorry for your loss. I'm just like you too. Praying for you sweetie. We are gonna make it.
I was born again in 1999 afrer my husband left me. I struggle still with the loss. We really value those we love and it brings us a lot of joy when they are with us. It is hard to be reminded of what we lost when they are no longer with us. We are so blessed to know God will never leave us and is ever present when we are troubled.
Thank you for saying this.. next month marks 6 yrs since my husband passed. I feel the same way.. the last 2 yrs seems like its harder.. I feel stuck in the grief.. not really able to move forward.. I dont understand it.. good to know I'm not the only one out there feeling this way.. 🙏
I think it’s great that you guys can talk to each other I pray for sweet miracle for you all and can’t wait to hear about it and see
I also lost my husband, 16 yrs ago come March.
At first I worked at my job then I had to leave out home together as it depressed me being alone before and after work.
I moved in with our youngest child, an adult daughter. After helping each other out day in and day out for 2 years, I was ready to go back home, buy a horse (our dream for retirement) and a couple of dairy goats. Now I'm only lonely when I am not working (from home in my home office) or tending my 7 goats and 2 horses.
Since I'm now 68 yrs old I know my busy life can't last , it's been a blessing as long as it lasts.
Thank you for this. I felt like I was actually there! So beautiful and peaceful.
Your sharing just brought me peace. I'm sure others feel the same and maybe this is why you were lead to share? We need to slow down and appreciate all of our blessings.... I know I needed to. Taking a walk with you in The Great Smoky Mountains is one of my blessings today. Thank you! Thanks for telling us about your family memories and for being honest about how it feels to be an empty nester and the grief you felt when you became a widow. Especially, I want to thank you for sharing God's wisdom.
I lost my husband of almost 59 years in February of this year and I, too, was almost terrified of the future! My life has drastically changed but God is helping me go on…my children are a big help also. When you lost your Brett my heart hurt for you but I now know what hurt you suffered. I always do what you always say, “Put God First!” God’s Blessings…
When I get down, I preach myself happy. Here's how I start:
Bless the LORD, Oh my soul
And all that is withing me, bless His holy name
Bless the LORD, Oh my soul
And forget not all His promises
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities
Who healeth all thy diseases
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's
I believe the promises of God. How about you?
His loving kindness is new every morning.
One of your best videos Becky,I've gotten to see a side of u that's so beautiful inside. You truly are an amazing faithful young lady,I'm a grown man and I actually cried watching this so ❤️ felt,thank u for everything u do.
So glad I found this tonight. I can still relate with so many things that you talked about but most importantly letting go of the past. Everyday is a new day with the Lord. I too have an empty nest, and one of my sons passed away 2 years ago. I'm divorced and live alone and often find myself longing for past days when all my family was together. Bless you dear sister. May the Lord comfort you and help you and thank you so much for sharing everything you did.
Amen my bear sisters in Christ. With HIS grace we go on day by day, but knowing we are not alone.
Me too. God is teaching me to press on , let go the past and don't fear, he is with me.
God bless you, Becky!!! What the Lord showed you in the mountains of North Carolina is exactly what I needed to hear!! I've suffered a lot of loss, and it has been painful. I have NO one left but my sister, and she's several years older than I am. I have been desperately hanging onto the past in my mind -- reliving memory after memory. It hasn't helped. Now, I've got to move on. I've heard from the Lord tonight --- through you, dear lady. Thank you!!
BTW - You and your girls are still in my prayers. I understand your loss. If you have room on your prayer list, please ask the Lord to help me to move on too. Thanks.
Prayed for you 💜
@@Set-Apart-By-Grace Thank you! I appreciate so much!!
Praying for you! Lord help her let go. And forgetting those things behind, help her press on to the high calling in our Lord Jesus Christ. You are not alone. The Holy Spirit lives inside you, you are His child. He promised to never leave or forsake us. Mama Bear hugs sister in Christ. 🙏 💕
Prayers for you.
Sounds like you have an Army walking With you now, and watching over you, wanting to see you Joyful, Happy, Healthy, & Living New Adventures Big & Small, until it’s your time to reunite with them. You can’t physically touch them, but they are Alive & Well in Every beat of your heart,& you are Wealthy to have so many!!! I’m sure they All want you to Live Joyfully each day you have remaining,& not in deep sadness over those who got to go Home to their Promised Reward, where they struggle no more!!! Being Happy in This life is No Betrayal or Negative Measurement of your Love for all those Beautiful people you were Blessed to have in your life.🙏
You have no idea how much I needed this message! I have never watched you before, but this video showed up. I accept this gift from God and I hear your message loud & clear. I am 66 & my husband is 73, we are moving to a new house in a new state October 14. Both our families have always lived where we live currently, but we have been planning this move for a year and it’s almost time to move. We will miss all of our family, but I do believe this is what God wants for us. Bless you for this wonderful message!
It was so timely for me to watch this today. I’m visiting my wonderful in-laws this week. They are in their 90s, and my precious MIL is in the final stages of dementia. I don’t think we’ll have either of them for much longer. They both know the Lord, and will move on to a better place, but my heart lurches to think about it. I’m resting in their basement at the moment, with family pictures surrounding me on all the walls. Just before I turned on your video I was feeling so sad, because I don’t want our time with them to end. Pictures of my now grown men babies are hanging in the opposite wall. So many beautiful memories here. I think your thoughts are my reminder to cherish the memories, but trust God to bring new joys in the future. Thank you for sharing.
Several years ago, I took a trip to visit my childhood memories of my paternal grandparents house. I was shocked at the condition, to where it was unrecognizable. It brought me to tears. I continued on my journey and everything I remembered had been torn down and no longer existed. There was a city park that had been turned into some developmental businesses. This broke my heart. This park was down the street from my grandparents house. You could see the baseball field from my grandparents backyard, before they developed that area. So, I learned that you can’t go back in time. Now my fondest memories has been shattered. I wish I hadn’t taken the journey back into time. Take care and thanks for sharing. God Bless you.
Thank you so much for this message you have given to us. I am a fellow Christian and I have been hanging onto the past and I realized these memories are holding me back. God bless you for all that you do for those of us who enjoy your channel so much. You have made us a part of your life. You are a special gift from God! Amen!
I cannot imagine how hard this has been. I think you started out the right way going back to the roots of your family. I always come to tears whenever you talk about these things. Jesus is so precious to me. I could never have survived what I have without him to rescue and strengthen me. I had to go back to school at , and I cannot tell you how healing that was. I had wanted to for years but couldnt, Now I have a whole new career, and I am happy and I feel like Im where God wants me. I Wish you the BEST going forward, I feel like as young as you are, and as i was you still have PLENTY of time ! My grandmother became a great painter, and artist after my grandpa died. He was the love of her life. we never knew she had so much talent!! Best Wishes!!!!!
Thank you, Becky, I really needed that message - as I'm writing this my cat of 18 years is dying and it's been so hard and bringing up so many past memories of my family and life. Seriously, thank you to God speaking through you to me to not get into a depression and feel the sunshine with your words!
Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏 so sorry too hear about your cat 🙏💕🙏
I’m so sorry your cat is passing. I know how much this can hurt. I hope you remember that your love and care helped this pet to live a very long life. We have no doubt at all that the Lord sent you in over to hear Becky’s words of faith from the heart. Peace be with you. Your pet will always remain in your heart.
I'm so sorry for you, dear one. I know that pain in your heart, from my own losses. I'm praying for both of you, and I know that God draws very near to the broken hearted. He said so in His Word. Know that the special love your beloved pet shares with you, never ends... because it IS Love...and that is forever.
I am so sorry about the loss if your precious cat.
I am so very sorry about your cat. I believe you will see him again ❤️❤️
This video is full of wisdom delivered in a friendly manner, full of love. You have blessed me with your transparency and deep faith!
Thank you, sorry I don’t even know your name,Hillbilly kitchen lady. Thank you for your Christian witness. You are such a blessing to me and all your viewers. May God continue blessing you as you bless others. Yes , I need to let go of the pass and reach out and focus on Jesus Christ.He will send His sweet spirit to me and give me the strength I need to be a good witness for Him to others around me. I want everyone to be ready when Jesus comes in the clouds to take His people home. May God continue to bless you, lady. 🙏🏻💗😊
This video has touched my heart so deeply,I found myself living in my past and missing my husband that went home to be with the Lord 10 yrs ago .
Amen, me too, my sister. I've been through dark times, God was/is my Rock
Thank you for taking me along with you . It is so beautiful . God Bless.
Thank you for watching it and God bless you
Dear sister, I somehow was led to meet you today. I am sure God spoke through you what I needed to hear. My depression and anxiety has gotten the best of me. I've been just weary of life. Please will you all keep me in your prayers. God bless you sister
🙏
Praying that you will see the LORD'S light shining towards you, that you will walk in the light as He is the light! You weren't made to stay in the darkness of depression!
Thank You Becky! GOD's Mercy, Healing, Love, Protection & Guidance to.You, Your Family , & all those listening /reading this now!! Beautiful journey you have taken us on , just to remember the more innocent times we lived in is peaceful !!🙏💕♥️
A true blessing. Thank you for your journey back home, and the encouragement to live on the sunny mountaintop. May Yah bless you.
Love your witnessing for the LORD. With what is coming, we really need the guidance, mercy, love, and protection of the LORD. We need HIS strength to help us endure until the end! JESUS is coming soon as we can truly see with the world becoming so sinful. We pray for courage and boldness to witness even in dangerous times. Fear IS NOT of GOD.
HE said, " Fear not, for I am with you until the end". Stand up a and witness for the LORD. Deny HIM not! Prayers for our country. Lift up the name of JESUS!
Those long-ago memories...thank you sister, Abba really spoke to me through your message! I was crying, but the hope is shining through like a beacon. Thank you , Yahweh, Father in heaven and your blessed son, all glory to the name of Jesus! Hallelujah Amen
This has touched my heart so greatly! Your words have moved me to let go, and look to God! I have dealt with my past so much! Thankyou ,for educating me on my purpose. To live for the Lord. Forgive, and be forgiven. You are a angel to me! I Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!!
Same here Tabatha
How are you doing 🤗
A very heart touching story, one of the best I have seen!!!?
Hearing you talk about the changes back home made me think of a line from a song "LA's mine but it ain't home, NY's home but it ain't mine no more". Once you leave home for an extended period of time those that stayed don't notice much change, but when you go back your heart wants the past to be there.....and it can't because people move on or die and you can never get back to where your heart wants to go. So, the only thing you can do is accept God's gift of a new day to go out try to make the world a little bit better than it was yesterday. God bless you and your family.
My heart wants to like this video a million times...
Thank you for opening my eyes to see that I have been living in a very painful place between behind and before for way too long. You gave me so much hope to reach out to whatever is before me. Jesus my precious Savior has been my rock and never left me down. But it's time to let it all behind and travel forward now. God bless you for sharing your story in the sweetest, most meaningful way and helping to show us the path.
Ty Becky :) ty for bringing us along. Very enjoyable. Love the scenery. Lord thank You for watching over Becky and family. Thank You for opening hearts to how much You love them fill them up. John 3:16
Having been in your shoes back in 2007, and you have to feel it in your heart when it's time to move on. who but God whom lives in your heart knows when that time will be.Bless you for sharing your difficult road and decision, and may the new path he has laid before you be as filled with love as this one has been.
I lost my husband 1922. Been ruff. I think this popped up for me because I needed this. Like you wouldn’t even know.
Thank you Becky for your wonderful trip into your past and on to the future. The Lord has spoken through you to me for some reason. This I believe I needed now more than I can even comprehend. 🙏
Thank you for a very uplifting and moving video it's made me see how I've been worried about the past instead of letting the lord guide me through this journey that he has set for me in this time in my life and I just need to put my trust in the Lord to keep me safe and on the road that he needs me to go down and I want to say thank you for the incredible inspiration that you have given me to just give it all to the Lord and trust him for he knows where he wants me to go from here so that I can make him aware that I can stand up strong for him and his kingdom 🙏
I loved this so much. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life with us. And most importantly, thank you for spreading the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your journey home. So many are with you on this journey, each walking our narrow path home to heaven. Both of my adult children were murdered. The 10 year anniversary Dec 24. Christmas Eve was my favorite day of the year. I am alone now but not alone. Christ is my all in all. Soon we will all be together for eternity sharing our stories of God's mercy, grace and peace. How faithful He has been every moment of our lives, especially in things we had no understanding of. Rom 8:28. Sending gentle hugs and tender thoughts to my brothers and sisters in Christ
Oh my goodness...Im so sorry....😪
My heart goes out to you. So glad you have found peace in the arms of Jesus. I can't imagine your pain, but your story just gives more glory to our Lord for bringing you comfort after such a loss. May He continue to bless you.
Thank you Becky. I needed to hear every word you said. I lost my husband in October of 2020 it was extremely difficult he was my best friend and a wonderful man. He bought his mom and dad’s house and we put every penny into it making it our own. After his death his sister decided she would like to have our home so I’m being told to leave. My youngest daughter just passed away six weeks ago. I am having trouble moving on I am just so sad. I do trust in God and I know he has a plan for me but I am feeling a bit sorry for myself. I do need to look ahead because I still have many blessings in my life. Thank you for your wonderful videos. God bless
This is your greatest video and you are so right about God’s plan for us. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hi! Your profile picture is very cute! I Just decided to stop by and say hi. I hope my compliment is appreciated
I knew there was a reason I found this video tonight while lying here in bed it was meant for me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart thanks again for the message the Lord led you to tell all and me about while making this video.🙂🙏
Thank you for this video and message, Becky. I so admire your boldness in sharing your faith. Many times on my channel I share little bits and pieces of my life and Jesus’s daily influence in it, but I know it’s never enough. You definitely allow the light of Christ to shine brightly through you. From one southern girl to another, God Bless!
Thank you, Becky, for that trip back to your childhood home. Thank you also for your inspirational and uplifting message. May Almighty God bless and keep you always.
My prayers are with you on this trip. God is real and has blessed us all in so many ways. God bless you and your loving family. ❤️
I was born not to far from there.in Graham county.
Becky, first, I want to tell you how much I enjoy your cooking show. I am alone now and have to do all my own shopping and cooking. It has been very helpful to me. After many years together and a 5 year and 3 month battle with cancer I lost my beautiful wife 2 and a half years ago. Many of your recipes are a real help to me.
I am a retired Pastor, so that brings me to my second point. Your personal testimony, your witness, your love of the Lord, and the presence of God 's Spirit is so beautiful and so winsome it is a major blessing to me and, I am sure, to thousands of others. I sincerely thank God for you.
My third and unplanned point, has to do with the passing of your husband which I just saw and heard. I totally understand your feeling of loss. I felt like the best 90% of me went to heaven, though knowing what she endured, I could never wish her back from where she is back to here. Maybe one day, I will share more with you, but suffice to say for the moment, I will pray for you in the days ahead, and I know God's Grace, Peace, Comfort, and Love will abound to you.
Now you raised a 4th point Christmas day 2 years ago I was home alone and passed out on my kitchen floor and unbelievably was there for 9 days with nothing to eat or drink (which is a miracle) until my older son and his wife came and found me. When the paramedics arrived my blood sugar was 700. Then about a month ago after some routine tests at the Cardiologist's I ended up having a Cath there was more than one blockage, but the one that mattered most was a 100% blockage in my RCA. It is stented and fine now, but when I asked the Cardiologist why I had experienced no angina, he responded because it was the diabetes that caused it and that diabetes masked heart pain. Well that and listening to you had put the fear in me. My purpose for telling you is so that you will know how far reaching your life, your show, and your ministry is. Please unless God leads you to do so, don't ever give up or quit. I know a lot of Pastors who don't count for the Lord as much as you, and I pray God will bless you in miraculous ways you never expected.
That you so much for this. I'm 73 and have been going through a very difficult time. I accepted Christ as a child but we all have storms, as you know. Next I'll listen to your testimony. I love your cooking shows .God Bless.
Thank you for posting this. I lost my wife a year ago this past July. I’m having a very hard time adjusting to not having my best friend of over 41 years still with me. I have felt a sense of anger at God for taking her from me. I’m really struggling with her loss and I’m ashamed to admit I’m not embracing my faith as I should. I’ve witnessed God in my life so many times but this time , all I feel is anger.
Today is January 20, 2023 and it’s just a bit past 8:00PM. I’m writing from Northeastern Wisconsin.
God Bless you, Becky and I thank God for you! I’m 77 and have been looking for answers for so long and you just gave them to me. Better late then never. I now know what to do. Thank you so much. 🙏❤️🙏
I really needed to hear this perfect timing, thank you and thank you my Lord Jesus.
This is probably the most beautiful video I've ever seen - scenery AND sentiment! God bless you for sharing, and for boldly proclaiming the Lord! I can't wait to watch your testimony!
I love watching your channel, you have such a calming affect on me when you speak about God. I wish i had a friend like you who lived close by so that we could study God's word and learn as we go. God has gotten me through lots of hills and valleys as well, and i am trying to convey that to my kids and grand kids but all they see is bad things happening and God no where to be found. I thought that they were all saved, but now i have to wonder, so i am fearful for them, and i pray every single day that God would open their hearts and their minds to him so that they can see he is real, he is there, and he does love them and provide for them in every way. Depression runs through my side of the family, my son is going through it bad right now, so i pray that God holds him tight and gets him through it. And that he answers my prayers for all of them. God Bless you and your family, and thank you for posting this.
In his presencenis fullness of joy!
Praying that God does whatever He needs to get your family saved. In Jesus mighty name. 🙏🏻❤️
Your prayer is my prayer.
God's grace be upon you and your family members
I try to remember what my dad taught me, God is not in the event, but in our reaction to the event. I have found that to be so true throughout my life.
Amen, my Sister in Christ. I needed to hear this tonight.
I was meant to hear this testimony. My mom died unexpected two years ago the last day of this month. I am still in mourning. My daddy and sister are all I have left. They can't understand why I am still mourning, and I can't understand why they aren't. My dad got married one day after my sweet mom's one year death anniversary. I know she is with the Lord, but I am still so sad for her lose and so angry at my dad for taking a new wife so soon. I know I should move on, but my heart is still so heavy.
Praying for you Tammy. It's difficult to deal with that situation when you are still grieving. 🙏
Yes, praying for you as well as sweet Becky. God bless you.🙏❤️🙏🌸👵
God is real! I’ve witnessed so many miracles in my 58 years and have felt his presence so strongly. May God bless you sweetie 🙏❤️
I am a born again Christian! You are a great inspiration in my life. God is using you in this ministry. I am thankful God put you in my life!
Absolutely beautiful scenery, reminds me of going to my grandparents house in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for taking us on your journey. We have experienced so much in our journey of life. So sad to look/go back and see that our childhood is gone. But we have so much to look forward to!!! God bless you all ❤️❤️❤️
23-ish years ago I took my wife back to where I grew up. None of the families I grew up knowing still live there as far as I am aware. The area and homes there had changed so much I almost got lost. I remembered things being bigger, and farther away. 😂
Hi! Becky so so glad that you are well and in the arms of our loving God! Often wondered how it was going with the valley you had to cross and just like that your video came along. Thank you Lord for Becky and her rich and lasting Faith.
This is just what I needed to hear at a time I truly believe I needed to hear it and the timing I believe is the work of the Lord. Thank you Becky for being there for me and for touching my life.
Same here Katie
How are you doing 🤗
Thank you for this video. My husband passed 8 1/2 years ago. I found it hard to move on for a long time. My dad was a Baptist Preacher, so I’ve known our Lord since I was 10. And this video has reminded me that God doesn’t want us to live in sorrow the rest of our lives when we lose a loved one. That he is still with us and will show us what he wants for us when the time is right. We just have to trust him. I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏
One thing that never change’s it’s God’s words & love and he’s alive ❤🙏
Thank you, Becky. I needed to hear this today. I've been struggling lately, praying a lot, and asking for some guidance... the Lord spoke to me through you through a video. 💜🙏🏻
God bless you dear sister in the Lord! It is wonderful to hear what God has done and is doing in your life. May He continue to bless you!
Thank you so much. Many of us needed your message. May God Bless all you do and give you His joy.
This struck my heart so much. I can relate to going back too. I miss all my loved ones and the way we were. I always ask God to take me back, but He is a Lord and God of renewal. I came to the Lord on April 19th 2019. It took me over 50 yrs and I am so glad I did. I am not scared to die because I will be renewed into an eternal life. It is just beginning with the Lord our Savior. Thank you so much for this, it made my day so so much! Your words, that i found your video and your thoughts are all a Blessing brought forth from God to me today. Philippians 1:21 - For me, to live is Christ, to die is gain.
God carried me through the deepest valleys a person could go through and he set me on top of the mountain top at the end of the walk. Every breath I breathe, everything in nature is all the proof I need to know God is real and alive. He has carried me when I couldn’t even walk.
That’s what the Lord has been saying to me recently so this is just one more confirmation.
Sometimes we do have to go back just to move forward.
That was so touching. You’re so calming and have a loving, patient spirit. Thank you! Much love. ✝️♥️🥰
I so enjoyed your “going home” video - what a blessing! You are a shinning example of a true Christian.
I almost felt like I was there with you. My childhood was so much like yours. We had nothing but we didn’t realize it. God is so amazing and he has given you such a great witness. It’s hard to let go of the past. I needed to see this video - you helped me see that I thought I had let go, but today I really know how.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Becky,
I wish you could give all of that love you have to other children who need it, now that your children have grown. There are so many children who need it.
GOD BLESS YOU.
💜🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for standing strong in your faith. The Word of God is blood-bought! Jesus paid a precious price to set all mankind free! blessings and love to you.
