I am so sorry to hear you have been unwell and hope you continue to recover well. I did miss your videos and checked quite often to see if there were any new ones. I'm really sorry that I didn't realise you were poorly. Blessings to you and your family.
Happy to see you back n expecting another blessing this year. I think we all go through seasons of suffering. Some of us for years. For the past 10 years my body has been deteriorating. I now have four bone replacements n I have constant pain in my arms n back. This past April was my fourth bone replacement n I’m still having difficulty recovering from that. It has hindered me to the point I have cut back from going to daily mass or attending any of the Christmas masses. When things like this happen where we feel helpless n wonder, why me Lord? But, we just have to surrender another part of yourself n trust in his ways. We are just being drawn closer to his cross. My priest said carrying a heavy cross is hard but endurance strengthens us. Keep trusting n keep praying. God bless you 🙏🏼
So happy to see you back. Was concerned about your absence. Prayers for your healing, your family is one of your most important priorities. God Bless you and your family🙏🏻
I’m so glad you are back! As a mother of 14 there have been many difficulties. I was widowed with 8 children still at home. Persevere and being sustained by faith will get you through whatever hardship you meet, always keeping the big picture in mind. A dear Catholic friend gave me a book that said, joy and grief or suffering can be in the same place at the same time in our lives. Don’t let the suffering rob you of the little joys in your life. You can experience it all at once…a broken heart that feels joy. God will help us carry our burdens and He will sustain us. May God bless you and yours is my prayer.
My family off 10 has also had a hard year, I had 3 children hospitalized for various reasons , small trials as well and now a separation after 25 years of marriage. I don't understand God's ways. I know a saying "I don't know what tomorrow holds but I know Who holds tomorrow" and also who holds me. These times in life only show me that in all the world Christ is all I need and really all I have to hold me steady. ❤
I suspected you were in some kind of trouble. I prayed for you and left a few messages. My daughter is going thru some poor health and depression and I am going to get the book that you mentioned for her. I am so happy you are doing better. Missed you and your little family. You are an inspiration for me.
So happy to see you! I've gone through difficult times in life. I would see that everyone had an easier time than mi, but when I finally surendered to God everything changed. Was it easy? No. But I found out that life goes on and we loose time that doesnt come back. I learned to flow with whatever happens, always having God by me. I can go through anything.
Hi! I literally just searched for you yesterday thinking I miss her videos, it’s nice to hear from you, will be praying for you and please take your time with coming on UA-cam!
Hi Justine, I look every few days to see if you've posted anything. I've missed you and your family so much. I've prayed for you several times. I'm so sorry for your struggles, I know God has a plan for it all. I kind of thought you were pregnant but wasn't sure. Congratulations Justine. You take care of yourself and your babies. We will be here praying for you. Ty for update and I'll continue praying and watching for future post. Love you and your sweet family. You bless and inspire me so much. Ty friend.
So sorry to hear of your troubles. So good to see you and you look lovely! I’m so glad things are improving for you. The coffee cake, soup and bread all look delicious! Take care of yourself!! Praying for you! Val C ❤️🙏
You’re not on your own going through challenges. It’s a day to day and sometimes minute to minute struggle. Have missed your videos and I truly understand where you’ve been and are because I’m there right beside you. It’s very difficult to change your mindset but I’m trying very hard to be there. Leaning into God for assistance.
Hello Justine, I'm happy that you're back and feeling better. I'll definitely check the book you mentioned because I also saw it in one of the comments I read yesterday from another group and now here in your channel. God bless you more and more.
I love how God gives us these little nudges when he wants us to be led in a certain direction! I hope you enjoy the book, I recommend it to everyone now!
I'm so happy to see a new video from you. I've been watching every week just in case. The soup you are making looks like one I make that is called Cabbage Patch soup. The hamburger and vegies are the same but I add a tablespoon or so of worcestershire sauce which gives it a different flavor. I hope you continue to improve so you can get back to your usual self. Don't push it, though, take your time. God bless!
Comparison is the thief of joy - You are so so right. I love that you said that. God made us all so unique, and he did not make a mistake. :) God bless you in all truth. Thank you for sharing with us! Great word of wisdom
Girl!!! I had NO idea you were going through so much. I tried looking for you and looking for information on where you went but to no avail. Take it easy. Well, as easy as you can. Congrats on the baby!!! Never knew about that until today either. Will be looking for your next video. From your fellow southwestern Ontarian. 🇨🇦
So happy to see you are back! Difficult times make us more sympathetic towards others who are struggling. God is faithful and will never leave us nor forsake us. I will look forward to your videos as you are able to do them! Blessings 🙏❤️
Happy to see you back! Though I am subscribed to your channel I checked again and again in the summer if you posted a new video or wrote a message on community page. Hoped and still hope you get 100% well soon. God bless you and your family and a Happy (a happier) New Year to all of you!
It a great to see you back Justine. I was away from Mass for 18 months but went back on the 2nd week of Advent, it wasn’t easy but I’m still going! A week ago I got some unexpected bad health news and now I see why God gave me the strength and conviction to come back to Him, because I was going to need Him! Thankyou for your inspiration and encouragement and I will pray for you everyday. God bless.
I’m so sorry you got bad health news but I’m glad you went back to Mass. Just being in the Lord’s presence is such a blessing when we are suffering. Please know I will be praying for you.
Hello! I am a brand new subscriber. Just joined today. I clearly understand what you are going through on your healing journey. I am on one myself. Last spring I was rushed to hospital for an intestinal blockage within a 20 pound hernia. After having all the repair completed I went through a very long period of healing. Soon I will be going into surgery to repair a smaller hernia and a clean up job which will result in another lengthy recovery process. I am praying for you as you continue your journey. Love your new sister in Jesus Christ.😊❤🙏
I’m sooo glad you back!!! I’m sorry you went through a hard season. My 2024 was so different and unexpected, so many little and big things that I’m trying to think that my sufferings can be small Pearls for Mama Maria, but definitely, at the end of the year(and beginning of this) I filled like all the things hit me at once. Your video comes as a balm. God is so good and respond our prayer in different ways. Thanks for shearing and I will pray for you. Happy Nee Year! Many Blessings!!!
Giving your children the opportunity to help you is building their self esteem while teaching them about what you are doing. When my son was 8 he knew how to run the washing machine and could make pancakes. He loved doing these things. It built his self esteem and he understood responsibility and that he was an important in the family as well as loved.
So nice to see you and I am glad you are on the road to better health. I have been keeping you in my prayers and will continue to do so. This was such a beautiful video! Take good care and God bless you and your beautiful family!!
Thank you for coming back! I kept looking to see if you were coming back on UA-cam. I’m happy you’re feeling better! Women are the ones who have the hardest time asking for help. We think we can do it all! I never like asking for help. But, sometimes we need too! It’s very difficult!! We just try our best and that’s all we can do. Many blessings to you and your family.🙏🙏😊
Hello Justine! I am so happy to see you back! I truly missed you, and I have thought of you often and prayed for you. I, too, have gone through a rough season and have struggled with much sadness. I have found the prayer from Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo is very helpful. I am learning to put all my trust in Jesus, who holds all things in His hands. And His blessed Mother as well. God bless you, sweet sister, and take care of yourself. ❤😊
I’m so sorry you’ve been having a rough season. I’ll be praying for you! Also I had never heard of that prayer from Father Ruotolo but I looked it up and I’ll for sure be praying this novena. Thank you for mentioning it!
I believe that God allows bad things to happen to us but doesn’t “order” them. The word says that every good and perfect gift comes from God. We have an enemy and he is constantly pursuing us. God brings beauty from ashes. But I think it’s important to distinguish the fact that they don’t come from him. But he allows them to shape our character And draws closer to him for help.
I love your channel! You inspired me to start mine and encourage other Catholic wives and mamas like us! God bless you! 💕
That is awesome!👏
Happy to see you back & on the mend! Do what you need for you and your babies health, we’ll be here no matter what!
Thank you!😊
I’ve missed you. Glad you are all doing well.❤️
Thank you!!😊 Glad to be back!

I have that book sitting on my shelf, unread. Grateful for the nudge that God has something for me to learn within.
It’s such a great book. I recommend it all the time now!

It sure is a great book.
Trustful Surrender is amazing!
Right?! It’s such a short book but so insightful!
Glad to hear you’re better. When you have livestock and are sick it’s difficult. Hopefully your family could help with this.
They have! My little ones have really stepped up.
