My son is a teenager and he is dating someone and they go to different schools and she gets bullied at her school and her mother wants to get her in a different school but is having a hard time doing so because it is hard to find anything to rent. But her parents are also having problems with their marriage and it came to the point where yesterday her mother asked us if we would let her stay with us for a while and we agreed to do so but now her dad has contacted us saying that they are working things out and she will be staying with them but we are worried about my son's girlfriend because we don't know how things are going in their house. Her sister and her boyfriend are going over to their house to see what is going on. Mainly I am posting this because her and her family could use some prayers right now.
@samanthadudley6412 we'll be praying for her and her family. I grew up in a home like that. It was a Christian home, but it was like walking on eggshells at times. I was physically, sexually, and mentally abused by my father from 16 till 23. My mom and brother still think he's the best. He passed away a few years ago and never accepted what he did to me was wrong.
@samanthadudley6412 I will be praying for this situation. Be a support but make sure boundaries protect your home. It is easy to get dragged into other's drama.
My husband met me when I was heavy (I say fluffy chica), he proposed to me when I was heavy, he married me when I was heavy. The very first thing my husband said to me was, "I want you to know that you're beautiful". I'm still heavy and the most amazing man on the planet still chooses to come home to me every single day. He still calls me beautiful, he still shows me love and affection and he is proud to call me his wife. Having a husband who loves you for who you truly are and not just your outer appearance is such a wonderful blessing.
As a "person of size" I appreciated both of your comments at the end of this video. Shane reminds me of my friend's husband. She was always putting her body size and shape down. Didn't like wearing a swim suit or even modest shorts in public. One day she came out of the shower and he was waiting in the bedroom. She was trying to stay covered up and he insisted she disrobe and stand in front of the mirror. He told her to take a long, hard look at herself and her body. He then proceeded to tell her how he admired her AND her beautiful body. The body that bore their children, that carried her to care for their home, to work (she's a nurse), that brought him pleasure, etc. He then told her she could get dressed and he NEVER wanted to hear her bad mouthing her body again and left the room. Left her rather speechless, but so in love with a man that loved her enough to be honest with her.
Stop Hiding life is to short. Rejoyce in the day the Lord has made and know he whispered your name before you were formed in the womb. Be you and enjoy life. Peace!
Having cancer has been hard when it comes going out in public .It has messed up my hair,my teeth and my skin.I have to wear comfortable clothes and make up is not a thing anymore.I think one of the best things that happened was when my eight year old nephew called me to go to his ballgames and was so proud to have me there.My family and friends go out in public with me and dont care how I look or that walk slower.I love them so much for that.I love you and your family so much.♥️🙏
I am a cancer survivor 9 years now, praise God and I know the struggle. Just keep fighting and praying and enjoying time with your family! they only care that you’re there. When I think of my happiest memories with people I only remember that they were there with me to talk and laugh not what they wore, or how there hair was styled etc. I had chemo and radiation, went through early menopause and lost all my hair and gained weight. This too shall pass. Keep fighting, and trust in our Heavenly Father. ❤️🙏
Sweet, beautiful, kind Merina… BE YOU! The things you call your faults are the things that combine to make you who you are! I’ve watched you (and your beautiful family) for over 3 years. I feel like you could be the daughter I never had (I have 5 grown sons). Had to add, my husband of 36 years passed away April of 2023. You and Shane often remind me of us. You go right ahead and brag about your marriage! True love is unbelievably amazing! I had that and I live in our memories now! It’s to be cherished!
When Shane said I KNEW HOW TO HANDLE CURVES i crieddddddd 😂😂 that man is a gosh darn treasure! Everything he says and how hw looks at you says it all.❤
Merina, You spoke straight to my soul. I am crying my eyes out right now because you pointed out my insecurities, right down to my teeth! My photo on here is 16 years old because I don’t let my family take pictures of me. I’m shaking, questioning even posting this because I’m afraid of other people reading this and automatically knowing I’m pathetic. I want to love me but I don’t know how. My husband is the best man in the world and he treats me and talks to me like Shane does to you, and I want to be a confident person for him, but I don’t know how. I’m going to watch your video over and over and over to hear the words you said to me tonight. Thank you.
@@Melanie_just_Melanie You're beautiful. If your husband treats you as such and tells you, appreciate it and believe it. If you don't it probably hurts him deep down because it means you don't really trust him and/or don't value his judgement. You are God's creation girl! Believe it! (I don't mean for this previous statement to sound judge-y, I struggle with this, too, but mine only told me how ugly and disgusting I was. I am still getting over that.)
Everyone is beautiful in their own way and the older you get you realize true beauty is your personality so shine bright! And you really are pretty, love your photo!
@@kimberlyp2778 you don’t sound judgy at all. Your words helped me. I asked my husband if he feels like I don’t believe him or value his judgement when I tell him I don’t believe I’m attractive. Just like you said, he said it makes him feel like I don’t trust his judgement or believe him. I’m trying so hard now to feel better about myself. It’s a process that isn’t going to take overnight, but I’m not brushing off his compliments anymore. Thank you for being so kind and setting me straight.
@@marinaannetoma1268 thank you for your sweet words. I’m really trying to work on my confidence. I make a point to look in the mirror every morning and night when I brush my teeth. I’ve also started asking God to help me love myself.
I honestly felt like the Holy Spirit was using you to speak to me through this video. I've been struggling a lot with my insecurities in my looks, my personality, my voice, and just everything. It's gotten so bad that I have stopped attending church in person because I'm afraid of what people will think of me. I really don't like to go out and be in a crowd because I'm afraid of what others are thinking about me. It's caused me to feel so lonely and friendless, and depressed. I want to put myself out there, but I'm so scared. What you said made me cry and really encouraged me, Thank you for listening to God's voice. I really needed to hear that, I'm sure many others did, too.
Girl, I am so sorry you feel this way. I don’t live going new places or being around people I don’t know. I really want to attend this church I’ve heard of, but it’s so much work to start over. I haven’t had a church family since I moved to Florida two years ago. You go to church my friend. Jesus will welcome you and be so happy you’re there.
The people who love you don't love you because of how you look. Don't worry about it so much, you will attract the right people for you by just being you. Start small and work your way up, a little more time each day in public. You can do it. Don't let the devil win.
Never forget, we are created in the image of God. This means that what we might consider flaws are not blemishes but unique and beautiful attributes of our Heavenly Father. We are beautiful in the sight of God, and we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His likeness. You were created to be a beautiful and unique child of God. Lucifer was the most beautiful angel and fell from grace, to be cast out over vanity. He is also devious and intelligent, and he works in our minds, too. Sometimes, it is not just low self-esteem but the work of Satan telling us that we are not worthy. You have the power of the Spirit to rebuke him and put him behind you. Next time you feel a little down on yourself, shout out loud that you are a beautiful child of God. Those thoughts will crumble with the power you possess being created in the image of God. ❤
I, too, struggle with fear and anxiety. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia. What's greatly helped me is to take my worries, fears and issues to God, knowing that I can trust Him to love me and help me. I then face my fears, relying on Him to give me strength. I do a lot of praying about it, and it really does make a difference. Three years ago I didn't have a church and was too scared to visit any around me because I didn't trust that I'd recognize poor teaching/ theology, plus was nervous about being around strangers. After months of prayer, God led me to attend a Christian women's conference two states away. That brought me in contact with a woman from a church about 30 minutes from my home, who invited me to join her Bible study (I'd poured out my heart to her in an email, so she knew about my fears and struggles). Since then I've been attending her church regularly and making friends through the various bible studies and classes I've participated in. It's a great church, truly committed to living out the Word. Remember, God doesn't want us to be afraid. Lean on Him and ask Him to help you overcome your fears and to bring godly friends into your life. And be sure you correct your self-talk with truth. Our fears and insecurities are a great opportunity for God to demonstrate His love and provision, etc. and strengthen our relationship with Him through it, if we rely on Him and trust His ways. It's not a fast fix but it's worth it.
@@Cinditaylor234 Live in Florida too =. We are looking for a new church also. Just need to do it. This weekend company is coming so next weekend will go visit a church. Just start going. I miss church and fellowship. We haven't been since mo flu. he church we attended just was so small so we just never went back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So comical, and serious too, I lost my husband, my best friend to cancer in 2022 and to watch him take his last breath after we took him off the respirator was the worsest day of my life, I have my grown children, they miss their dad tremendously I miss my soul mate, my very best friend, and it does not get easier no matter what people say. Treasure every moment you have with the ones you love, never take any moments for granted. It's the little things that mean so much, Just know since i found your channel, you've brought me out of my darkest place, just wanted y'all to know that from my heart. Y'all are a blessing to me, Love you.❤❤
I just wanted to say, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. My heart goes out to you. God still has a good plan for your life.. more He has planned for you. Nevertheless, I’m very very sorry for your pain. Sending love & prayers your way, my sister in Christ ❤🙏🏻
Love your heart. My husband has been battling stage 4 cancer for two years. I live in fear every day, praying constantly for God to heal him. We have been together for 49 years. You are in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏❤
Merina, when i found your channel, i knew i found the one person that i could really relate to. I'm so grateful for your friendship via UA-cam and your love of the Lord. He definitely has used you in the right platform and format. I love you and your family. You guys are awesome. Thank you for speaking the truth and being you. You're beautiful just the way you are!! ♥️♥️♥️
Your marriage is so beautiful, the way Shane adores you is so sweet, merina you have people all over the world watching you, your honest and thoughtful and we see that beauty in you ❤❤
Honey...you ARE the prettiest person in the room, the funniest, the coolest,....because you're the REALIST (not a real word but follow me) in the room. That's why I watch your channel. You're so wholesome and I love watching you and your family together. ❤
I love the “jibber jabber” videos!❤. Also, when Shayne said, “You’re my whole world”…. I almost cried. He is the kindest most thoughtful man. I love y’all ❤
I listen to you while I’m doing laundry. I own a cleaning service and spend my evenings doing laundry from properties. I’d rather hear you talk. While the music is nice during breaks, I’m here for YOU. Don’t listen to the couple comments that are negative. There’s a million more that are positive and LOVE you.
I originally started watching you because you weren't trying to be perfect, and I could relate to your story, and then I fell in love with the whole dang family! You guys are awesome and relatable, and I think that's what most people want to watch and anyone who hasn't found your channel or hasn't stuck around long enough to see the true you is missing out!
Ma'am...you are stunning, and I am so glad that Shane is there to remind you of that. I've been busy the last few weeks and today I'm finally binging my way through your last 7 videos because you are a delight to watch and listen to. Seeing the way Shane loves you is honestly the most heartwarming thing, and I am here for it. Thank you for making my day a little brighter!
Those old videos were needed multiple times a week. It's was holding you accountable to form the habits you have now in your home. I remember you not making excuses for not cleaning even when you had a good reason... the broken broom sweeping days. You have come a long way!! Love ya girl! 💚
Merina, I love you so much. I lost my husband last month, and your videos are something that I look forward to so much. You are beautiful inside and out. I am here for every single video, the more talking and longer they are the better! ❤❤❤
I don’t comment much on UA-cam videos, but your message in the middle of your video is something that I think most people need to hear! Your statement about the insecurities that keep us from showing off end up being what sets us apart was right on the money. With the help of God, you overcame what made you insecure, and I need to hear that as I set out to start my own ministry and online presence. Also Medina, you are beautiful, and your videos are so inspiring ☺️
I have cried the whole time you started talking about . I'm 58 need this talk as a teenage and I pray God can use me. Even though I have keep myself isolated. Love and prayers
I’ve been watching your videos for years and never miss one but don’t comment often but my goodness. I love your relationship. Keep being your authentic self. Love from the UK. Xx
Merina, you are so cool and get cooler everyday, I love how you accept yourself, there aren't very many people that are the pretiest, smartest people in a room full of people, if more people would reason with themselves and examine themselves like you do, there world would be so much happier. I have only been subscribed to your channel about a year, but I've seen how you have worked to improve your life, not only for yourself, but for Shane and your children too. I could go on and on, I guess the main thing I want to say to you, is, you are a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for. Keep growing and grow together with Shane and your children.
Yesssss Gondoliers!!! I think my husband and I keep our Gondoliers in business. And they have the BEST ranch!!! I screamed at my husband when you pulled out the Gondoliers and was like “Look honey! Gondoliers!” Love all the kitchen products! ❤
I feel like we've all seen this family grow up from the beginning to now you have made huge leaps and bounds and you are blessed and gracious and thankful My kinda people ❤️
Ya know, I'm sitting here watching the two of you together..... and how you back each other up and support each other..... I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT and I'm 61 yrs old. I've experienced 2 BAD marriages....... but never had what you two have. Bless BOTH of you and bless your sweet friendship and marriage. It really does my heart GOOD to see such a happy marriage. It just wasn't meant to be for me-- and that's OK. Life goes on. I love this channel. It's like visiting family. 😁 (I don't hardly ever comment on UA-cam, but sometimes. I just HAVE to.)
Hi Shane ✋🏻Tell Merina I needed her encouragement and the laughs at the end. She had me in stitches with the whole heavyset tangent. Y’all are such a light in my world.
Love you two! You're so sweet together. I'm a plus size girl. You and I are very similar in size and build. My parents brought me up constantly building my physical confidence. I'm SO thankful for that. You are so lovely, Merina, and I'm so glad God gave you your sweet Shane. You are both treasures. ❤
My family loves your channel Merina, we are in SC and watch every episode since we found it 3 years ago. You and "Awesomely Created" are our sitcom/diy program that we don't have to worry about some ungodly liberal agenda being slipped in, just good wholesome content. Keep up the good work the Lord has laid on your heart !!! We will be watching !! :)
You and Shane are so adorable! Just love watching you cut up together. I love it when you speak because your words are spirit led so even if it's talking about your day or giving encouragement I'm inspired and uplifted. Very similar to spending time with a good friend. That's also the reason I can watch your videos to wind down. I've been reading more scriptures lately and working on my personal relationship with God and I'd like to think your encouragement has a part in that. One part in the million little things in my life that has drawn me back into his word. Never shut up my friend and never underestimate the power of your voice and the effect it can hold in the lives of others.
My momma used to write a note to me on my napkin in my lunch pal. I had the best mom!! She is worshipping with Jesus in heaven have the time of her life and i can’t wait to see her again!!!
I love how your so real and tell it like it is. Loving yourself is definitely something we all need to learn. As for the silver wear I feel you on the utensils disappearing I also have four kiddos and they seem to not know where utensils bowls or cups go. They send to walk away as well lol. Your relationship with your husband is so beautiful. I love how y’all have grown and after all those years have so much respect and love for each other. Truly real relationship goals. And yass. The kitchen gadgets And new cooking wear is always exciting. Especially to us mommas I love love the look of the beautiful brand. Keep up the great work we love listening to you and seeing your content. Don’t ever change
What an amazing video, love hearing the growth in Y'all's marriage. Shane's a supportive husband & father & Mernia you in return as a wife & Mother.This is Our loving God Blessings on a well devoted & deserving family ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this video for all of your extended You Tube family . Sending Hugs. Blessings & Grace for Y'all ❤
Merina - YOU are beautiful inside AND out. . you don't need makeup on your face and fancy clothes because YOU are beautiful just the way you are!! You are genuinely funny with the things you come up with and you don't even have to try. . YOU are a sweet person, an AWESOME MOM, and s loving wife to your husband.💕I enjoy watching your videos not only because you are so REAL, but because you & your husband are extremely talented - you're a TEAM and God created you two literally for each other.❤❤
I used to lose all my silverware and I finally figured it out!!!! When I used paper plates I couldn’t keep silverware!!!! Uuugghh!!! since I stopped using so much paper plates, the silverware isn’t leaving as quick! My theory is.“IT ENDS UP IN THE TRASH with THE PAPER PLATES”
I always had to check after one of my Grandsons visits, he’s adhd, and I always went through the trash can cause it never failed, he would pitch my silverware with his paper plate. ❤❤
Thank you for mak8ng this video.I have been so mentally, spiritual attacked the last 3 weeks by an abusive boss,it brought back pstd issues.She is so evil mean to everyone on her life but today your sweet spirit has been like a big hug ,giving hope that the world is not full of mean people.I have prayed for my boss and myself how to deal with her.Im stuck till the Lord shows me the way.Thank you ..for you being you!!!I cried happy tears after I watched this❤❤❤
Shane is right you don't deserve to have any one talk or treat you bad. You have so much love in your heart and being willing to allow God to use you . We that love you appreciate that wonderful man defending and protecting you.❤❤
Loved spending the evening with you guys. You are just the cutest couple and are both so blessed to have each other. Thanks for filling my evening with so much joy! Love to the whole family ❤
Bawling my eyes out watching the part where you talked about insecurities. You do you. That’s why we love you and your family. I commented before I finished watching your video. You and Shane have a marriage many women envy, want and will never have. I am so happy for yall. Yall brighten so many peoples lives.
My grandson is bullied and breaks my heart but I love this! I'll definitely be talking to him about this! He had a craniodomy at age 3....and has a scar which I tell him that's his warrior scar! He's our miracle!! Oh my THATS MY GRANDSON YOUR TALKING TOO! TEARS ARE FLOWING!!!! BUT GOD!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS FOR US!!!! ❤
@shirleyjohnston1256 hold on tight so much love and adventure is ahead.I love being a(( Elisi)) = Tsalagi for grandmother...We get to help give these babies deep roots to anchor them through lifes toughest storms...and 🪽 wings to soar by loving them so completely💝🙏💝
I needed the message in the middle of the video. Also I appreciate you guys being authentic and real. This is why yall are my favorite people. I love yall to God and back.
Y’all are just too precious!!! Love listening to Shane talking about how he loves you. And, he is a nut being funny. Y’all are just down to earth and everyone loves that!! ❤
Oh, those are the Drew Barrymore collection. My mom moved back from out of state and we got her one of those microwaves. It's a little different but works great and it's Pretty .😁Wow, so happy for you, you are going to have a brand new EVERYTHING in the brand new kitchen!! Glory to God🙌 Great job Shane, you two deserve it all. God Bless 💕🙏
Congratulations on all the new kitchenware. One suggestion, if you can return the air fryer 3 qrt to a 5 or 6 qrt it will be much better for you. You can’t get very much in a 3 qrt and you will have to do 3 or more batches for your family size! It will make you cooking so much more efficient. I cook steaks, hamburgers, shrimp, fries and all kinds of things but they are not supposed to be stacked on topnofneachother like the fries you have to spread them out the air can get through the food and cook it correctly. I hope that helps you and God and your family are all such a blessing.❤
It’s your channel be you nobody gets to tell you to shut anything anymore I love your spontaneous conversations and you joy that’s part of UA-cam and anyone who doesn’t like it then they can tune out and find someone else who cares you go get it girl🎉🎉🎉
Hey Marina I love all the items in your kitchen haul. Shane is such a Great husband. Yes tell the whole world how good your husband is. I just love your family. Y'all are truly a beautiful Blessed family!! Good is so Good! Tfs. ❤❤❤😊
The disappointment at the retractable measuring spoon😂😂😂 I really enjoy your vids. My kitchen upgrade will be all clear glass and silver...buying little pieces at a time, no envelopes 😅 Luv y'all!!❤
we know you are not bragging my sweet friend. you are showing us your blessings that your husband got for you. never be scared of sharing. God is so good! we love seeing your blessings from everyone! 🥰😍
You look gorgeous girlllll!!! Annnd I just wanted to say how inspired I am to get my house into shape. Whew, I have a long way to go. I am 53 and my 33 year old son and 3 grandkids live with me in my single wide. It needs some tlc .... and your videos inspire me !!! Thanks for being you!
It’s so very refreshing to see a true marriage , one that stands the test of time. The way they should be. I’m happy you both can see how blessed you are. And how grateful you both are. Hugs ❤
Love when you talk like we are in the room with you. Makes it feel like we are visiting. Your channel is unique and fun and interesting to follow. I'm a mom of 10 girls, so chit-chat on!!!
I run an animal rescue and had a bad day. Someone brought in 3 kittens in a carrier that someone left in a park. Covered in fleas. I was so mad. Watching yr video relaxes me. Love listening to you. I think you r beautiful both inside and out. Love yr family. Keep doing what you do
It's sad. But understand it is really hard to find someone to take animals in. Where I live, the shelters and rescues all require you to pay to surrender each animal. If they are even taking any in. I was in a really tough spot trying to find someone to help out with a sick cat. It was the mercy of God that he sent a foundation my way to help out. It was so rough and maddening. It made me understand why people just dump animals. Especially if they're in a tight spot.
It is sad and it’s people who ate irresponsible that is causing this problem. As for asking for a surrender fee. How do u think we operate. I get no grants or govt funding. I rely on donations to keep my doors open. Plus nobody at the rescue including me is paid. I am in bflo New York and my rescue along with every other rescue is jammed pack. Why? Because of people do not spay /neuter and instead of taking and keeping an animal they dump them.i do not have a money tree and I need to pay my bills just like you do. I do not get free rent,utilities or vet care. How anyone can sleep at night knowing they dumped animals is beyond me. There is NO Excuse
I love watching this channel and how much you talk! When my brother passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, I didn't want to hold a conversation with anyone, but I wanted someone to talk to me, and just be there, and keep me out of my head and keep me engaged and thinking about other things than the loss of my brother. I binge watched your channel in those first few weeks after his passing. And I can't express HOW MUCH you and your videos got me through those days. Your daily "conversations with me" kept me sane and kept me from being completely enveloped by my grief and sadness. Mirena, I owe you so many thanks for keeping me sane when I was enduring the deepest grief of my life to that point. Thank you Mirena, thank you for your channel, your conversations and just being you. You help people in more ways than you know!
I love love love listening to you ramble on! I love listening to you and Shane interact! I love listening to the kids in the background. You are perfect just the way you are. Never let anyone silence you. Hemingway said "Never be daunted" I try to live by this everyday. And you are really really pretty girlfriend!
I love watching you and your family! My youngest is 7 and gets bullied severely at school. He is such a sweet smart funny little boy because of his ADHD he is hyper and can be a lil in your face when he's excited about something but he has a huge heart and would do anything for anyone. It breaks my heart because he is such a sweet, kind hearted little boy.
@@jkalb1744 yes we have but unfortunately with his ADHD and stuff he won't get the resources he needs if homeschooled I've already told the school that this year I wont be nice we live in a very small town i will be going directly to parents if the school fails to deal with it.
It's me. I'm one of those the Lord was speaking to you about. I'm sure there are others. I literally wrote out a whole letter yesterday and read it to my husband about this. Well, please pray for me. I have a past where I was discouraged from speaking, singing, laughing, and sharing a single thought. For years, I barely spoke, and it was hardly audible. I was abused, bullied, sometimes neglected, and a lot of the names I was called was because I was brown-skinned. Also, my mom drank heavily and was not kind to me. She's better now. I was told I didn't belong anywhere. But God keeps putting me in positions where I have to use my voice and share my thoughts. I now manage a team at work. I'm an introvert and lead a team in worship each Sunday. I write songs. People love them but I've been SO SCARED! I don't have friends except on here. No one listens to me in a crowd. I've been putting it off for 2 years now. Thank you, God, for using Merina. 🙏 Thank you
My son is a teenager and he is dating someone and they go to different schools and she gets bullied at her school and her mother wants to get her in a different school but is having a hard time doing so because it is hard to find anything to rent. But her parents are also having problems with their marriage and it came to the point where yesterday her mother asked us if we would let her stay with us for a while and we agreed to do so but now her dad has contacted us saying that they are working things out and she will be staying with them but we are worried about my son's girlfriend because we don't know how things are going in their house. Her sister and her boyfriend are going over to their house to see what is going on. Mainly I am posting this because her and her family could use some prayers right now.
I will definitely bring their family and yours before the Lord! Please keep us updated! ❤❤❤❤❤
@samanthadudley6412 we'll be praying for her and her family. I grew up in a home like that. It was a Christian home, but it was like walking on eggshells at times. I was physically, sexually, and mentally abused by my father from 16 till 23. My mom and brother still think he's the best. He passed away a few years ago and never accepted what he did to me was wrong.
@samanthadudley6412 I will be praying for this situation. Be a support but make sure boundaries protect your home. It is easy to get dragged into other's drama.
Sending her and her family prayers 🙏 ❤️
I'm praying for everyone involved in this situation I can't imagine how stressful this is 🙏🏼
Is there anything more charming than a good man talking about how much he loves his wife with that southern accent??
🕊️❤️🕊️Shane is My Dream Boat 🕊️❤️🕊️. 😉😉🙃🤫🤭
I love how obvious it is how much they love Jesus and each other, that makes such a happy marriage! They are blessed!
@@yvonnebeltran6954 He is very happily married and totally loves his wife, your post is inappropriate!
My husband met me when I was heavy (I say fluffy chica), he proposed to me when I was heavy, he married me when I was heavy. The very first thing my husband said to me was, "I want you to know that you're beautiful". I'm still heavy and the most amazing man on the planet still chooses to come home to me every single day. He still calls me beautiful, he still shows me love and affection and he is proud to call me his wife. Having a husband who loves you for who you truly are and not just your outer appearance is such a wonderful blessing.
As a "person of size" I appreciated both of your comments at the end of this video. Shane reminds me of my friend's husband. She was always putting her body size and shape down. Didn't like wearing a swim suit or even modest shorts in public. One day she came out of the shower and he was waiting in the bedroom. She was trying to stay covered up and he insisted she disrobe and stand in front of the mirror. He told her to take a long, hard look at herself and her body. He then proceeded to tell her how he admired her AND her beautiful body. The body that bore their children, that carried her to care for their home, to work (she's a nurse), that brought him pleasure, etc. He then told her she could get dressed and he NEVER wanted to hear her bad mouthing her body again and left the room. Left her rather speechless, but so in love with a man that loved her enough to be honest with her.
This is peak adulthood! The excitement over kitchen stuff is better than anything! Shane is a keeper!
Just hearing him talk about his love for you is the sweetest thing. This is what true love looks like. Shane you are truly amazing for her. ❤❤❤❤
I love watching you both!and the absolute true love shines from you both and it’s just so amazing to see, Thankyou for being you merina and Shane ❤
As she is for him
And vise versa, their both amazing!🎉
Merina you made me cry, I've always been quiet so people wouldn't see me, I'm 62 and still hiding, I love you thank you for this platform
Stop Hiding life is to short. Rejoyce in the day the Lord has made and know he whispered your name before you were formed in the womb. Be you and enjoy life. Peace!
What the other think of you is not your business! In other words Who Cares if they don't like you, ,make sure you like you.
"you're my whole world' shane is the best husband in the world. I am so happy for y'all. ❤
I love the way that Shane said "you are always pretty" & "you are my whole world"! There is no denying that he loves you more than life itself.
Having cancer has been hard when it comes going out in public .It has messed up my hair,my teeth and my skin.I have to wear comfortable clothes and make up is not a thing anymore.I think one of the best things that happened was when my eight year old nephew called me to go to his ballgames and was so proud to have me there.My family and friends go out in public with me and dont care how I look or that walk slower.I love them so much for that.I love you and your family so much.♥️🙏
Love yourself like Jesus loves you. Be who you are!! ❤
I am a cancer survivor 9 years now, praise God and I know the struggle. Just keep fighting and praying and enjoying time with your family! they only care that you’re there. When I think of my happiest memories with people I only remember that they were there with me to talk and laugh not what they wore, or how there hair was styled etc. I had chemo and radiation, went through early menopause and lost all my hair and gained weight. This too shall pass. Keep fighting, and trust in our Heavenly Father. ❤️🙏
Sweet, beautiful, kind Merina… BE YOU! The things you call your faults are the things that combine to make you who you are! I’ve watched you (and your beautiful family) for over 3 years. I feel like you could be the daughter I never had (I have 5 grown sons). Had to add, my husband of 36 years passed away April of 2023. You and Shane often remind me of us. You go right ahead and brag about your marriage! True love is unbelievably amazing! I had that and I live in our memories now! It’s to be cherished!
When Shane said I KNEW HOW TO HANDLE CURVES i crieddddddd 😂😂 that man is a gosh darn treasure! Everything he says and how hw looks at you says it all.❤
Merina, You spoke straight to my soul. I am crying my eyes out right now because you pointed out my insecurities, right down to my teeth! My photo on here is 16 years old because I don’t let my family take pictures of me. I’m shaking, questioning even posting this because I’m afraid of other people reading this and automatically knowing I’m pathetic. I want to love me but I don’t know how. My husband is the best man in the world and he treats me and talks to me like Shane does to you, and I want to be a confident person for him, but I don’t know how. I’m going to watch your video over and over and over to hear the words you said to me tonight. Thank you.
I changed my photo! This is how I really look now! I’m really trying, Y’all!
@@Melanie_just_Melanie You're beautiful. If your husband treats you as such and tells you, appreciate it and believe it. If you don't it probably hurts him deep down because it means you don't really trust him and/or don't value his judgement. You are God's creation girl! Believe it! (I don't mean for this previous statement to sound judge-y, I struggle with this, too, but mine only told me how ugly and disgusting I was. I am still getting over that.)
Everyone is beautiful in their own way and the older you get you realize true beauty is your personality so shine bright! And you really are pretty, love your photo!
@@kimberlyp2778 you don’t sound judgy at all. Your words helped me. I asked my husband if he feels like I don’t believe him or value his judgement when I tell him I don’t believe I’m attractive. Just like you said, he said it makes him feel like I don’t trust his judgement or believe him. I’m trying so hard now to feel better about myself. It’s a process that isn’t going to take overnight, but I’m not brushing off his compliments anymore. Thank you for being so kind and setting me straight.
@@marinaannetoma1268 thank you for your sweet words. I’m really trying to work on my confidence. I make a point to look in the mirror every morning and night when I brush my teeth. I’ve also started asking God to help me love myself.
I honestly felt like the Holy Spirit was using you to speak to me through this video. I've been struggling a lot with my insecurities in my looks, my personality, my voice, and just everything. It's gotten so bad that I have stopped attending church in person because I'm afraid of what people will think of me. I really don't like to go out and be in a crowd because I'm afraid of what others are thinking about me. It's caused me to feel so lonely and friendless, and depressed. I want to put myself out there, but I'm so scared. What you said made me cry and really encouraged me, Thank you for listening to God's voice. I really needed to hear that, I'm sure many others did, too.
Girl, I am so sorry you feel this way. I don’t live going new places or being around people I don’t know. I really want to attend this church I’ve heard of, but it’s so much work to start over. I haven’t had a church family since I moved to Florida two years ago. You go to church my friend. Jesus will welcome you and be so happy you’re there.
The people who love you don't love you because of how you look. Don't worry about it so much, you will attract the right people for you by just being you. Start small and work your way up, a little more time each day in public. You can do it. Don't let the devil win.
Never forget, we are created in the image of God. This means that what we might consider flaws are not blemishes but unique and beautiful attributes of our Heavenly Father. We are beautiful in the sight of God, and we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His likeness. You were created to be a beautiful and unique child of God. Lucifer was the most beautiful angel and fell from grace, to be cast out over vanity. He is also devious and intelligent, and he works in our minds, too. Sometimes, it is not just low self-esteem but the work of Satan telling us that we are not worthy. You have the power of the Spirit to rebuke him and put him behind you. Next time you feel a little down on yourself, shout out loud that you are a beautiful child of God. Those thoughts will crumble with the power you possess being created in the image of God. ❤
I, too, struggle with fear and anxiety. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia. What's greatly helped me is to take my worries, fears and issues to God, knowing that I can trust Him to love me and help me. I then face my fears, relying on Him to give me strength. I do a lot of praying about it, and it really does make a difference. Three years ago I didn't have a church and was too scared to visit any around me because I didn't trust that I'd recognize poor teaching/ theology, plus was nervous about being around strangers. After months of prayer, God led me to attend a Christian women's conference two states away. That brought me in contact with a woman from a church about 30 minutes from my home, who invited me to join her Bible study (I'd poured out my heart to her in an email, so she knew about my fears and struggles). Since then I've been attending her church regularly and making friends through the various bible studies and classes I've participated in. It's a great church, truly committed to living out the Word.
Remember, God doesn't want us to be afraid. Lean on Him and ask Him to help you overcome your fears and to bring godly friends into your life. And be sure you correct your self-talk with truth. Our fears and insecurities are a great opportunity for God to demonstrate His love and provision, etc. and strengthen our relationship with Him through it, if we rely on Him and trust His ways. It's not a fast fix but it's worth it.
@@Cinditaylor234 Live in Florida too =. We are looking for a new church also. Just need to do it. This weekend company is coming so next weekend will go visit a church. Just start going. I miss church and fellowship. We haven't been since mo flu. he church we attended just was so small so we just never went back.
Giiirrrrllllll you talk all you want to!!! I could sit and listen to you talk all day! Your such a doll!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So comical, and serious too,
I lost my husband, my best friend to cancer in 2022 and to watch him take his last breath after we took him off the respirator was the worsest day of my life,
I have my grown children, they miss their dad tremendously
I miss my soul mate, my very best friend, and it does not get easier no matter what people say.
Treasure every moment you have with the ones you love, never take any moments for granted.
It's the little things that mean so much,
Just know since i found your channel, you've brought me out of my darkest place, just wanted y'all to know that from my heart.
Y'all are a blessing to me,
Love you.❤❤
I just wanted to say, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. My heart goes out to you. God still has a good plan for your life.. more He has planned for you. Nevertheless, I’m very very sorry for your pain. Sending love & prayers your way, my sister in Christ ❤🙏🏻
Love your heart. My husband has been battling stage 4 cancer for two years. I live in fear every day, praying constantly for God to heal him. We have been together for 49 years. You are in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏❤
@@home_everlasting thank you, GOD BLESS YOU
@@Sandra-pm3it my prayers go to you and pray your husband is healed, and thank you
I’m so sorry 😞 hugs to you
Merina, when i found your channel, i knew i found the one person that i could really relate to. I'm so grateful for your friendship via UA-cam and your love of the Lord. He definitely has used you in the right platform and format. I love you and your family. You guys are awesome.
Thank you for speaking the truth and being you. You're beautiful just the way you are!! ♥️♥️♥️
Your marriage is so beautiful, the way Shane adores you is so sweet, merina you have people all over the world watching you, your honest and thoughtful and we see that beauty in you ❤❤
Honey...you ARE the prettiest person in the room, the funniest, the coolest,....because you're the REALIST (not a real word but follow me) in the room. That's why I watch your channel. You're so wholesome and I love watching you and your family together. ❤
Thank you Shane for giving us big girls hope that somewhere our “Shane” is out there.
I love the “jibber jabber” videos!❤. Also, when Shayne said, “You’re my whole world”…. I almost cried. He is the kindest most thoughtful man. I love y’all ❤
I listen to you while I’m doing laundry. I own a cleaning service and spend my evenings doing laundry from properties. I’d rather hear you talk. While the music is nice during breaks, I’m here for YOU.
Don’t listen to the couple comments that are negative. There’s a million more that are positive and LOVE you.
I originally started watching you because you weren't trying to be perfect, and I could relate to your story, and then I fell in love with the whole dang family! You guys are awesome and relatable, and I think that's what most people want to watch and anyone who hasn't found your channel or hasn't stuck around long enough to see the true you is missing out!
Shane is such a good husband, God bless you both and your children
I loved it when Shane said, "you're my whole world and someone coming in and dissing you like that that ain't cool!" I love that! You go Shane!
Oooo. Next time have your kids interview you! I bet they could come up with funny questions!
That would be fun 😃
I just love your man Merina and how he loves you.
Def be interesting in that....with both the parents...
Your genuine appreciation for the simple things in life is so inspiring!! Seriously!
We appreciate the additional video this wk! It feels like we won the lottery!
Ma'am...you are stunning, and I am so glad that Shane is there to remind you of that. I've been busy the last few weeks and today I'm finally binging my way through your last 7 videos because you are a delight to watch and listen to. Seeing the way Shane loves you is honestly the most heartwarming thing, and I am here for it. Thank you for making my day a little brighter!
Those old videos were needed multiple times a week. It's was holding you accountable to form the habits you have now in your home. I remember you not making excuses for not cleaning even when you had a good reason... the broken broom sweeping days. You have come a long way!! Love ya girl! 💚
Shane is the husband that every woman wants. Fortunately, I got a husband that treats me like he treats Merina.
Me too! We're so blessed!
What a beautiful marriage you are truly a blessing for each other
Merina, I love you so much. I lost my husband last month, and your videos are something that I look forward to so much. You are beautiful inside and out. I am here for every single video, the more talking and longer they are the better! ❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss
Merina you look so beautiful! I love the love between you and Shane! So genuine and real. God Bless your marriage ❤
I don’t comment much on UA-cam videos, but your message in the middle of your video is something that I think most people need to hear! Your statement about the insecurities that keep us from showing off end up being what sets us apart was right on the money. With the help of God, you overcame what made you insecure, and I need to hear that as I set out to start my own ministry and online presence. Also Medina, you are beautiful, and your videos are so inspiring ☺️
I have cried the whole time you started talking about . I'm 58 need this talk as a teenage and I pray God can use me. Even though I have keep myself isolated. Love and prayers
I’ve been watching your videos for years and never miss one but don’t comment often but my goodness. I love your relationship. Keep being your authentic self. Love from the UK. Xx
Merina, you are so cool and get cooler everyday, I love how you accept yourself, there aren't very many people that are the pretiest, smartest people in a room full of people, if more people would reason with themselves and examine themselves like you do, there world would be so much happier. I have only been subscribed to your channel about a year, but I've seen how you have worked to improve your life, not only for yourself, but for Shane and your children too. I could go on and on, I guess the main thing I want to say to you, is, you are a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for. Keep growing and grow together with Shane and your children.
Girl stop talking yourself down you are beautiful inside and out! Keep being you and doing you❤
I love the talks. I need your encouragement and the love that comes through your words
Yesssss Gondoliers!!! I think my husband and I keep our Gondoliers in business. And they have the BEST ranch!!! I screamed at my husband when you pulled out the Gondoliers and was like “Look honey! Gondoliers!”
Love all the kitchen products! ❤
I feel like we've all seen this family grow up from the beginning to now you have made huge leaps and bounds and you are blessed and gracious and thankful My kinda people ❤️
Shane’s exactly right, men focus on them! When you love someone, it’s about the person, not anything else! Y’all had me in stitches!
You're my favorite UA-camr ❤
Ya know, I'm sitting here watching the two of you together..... and how you back each other up and support each other..... I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT and I'm 61 yrs old. I've experienced 2 BAD marriages....... but never had what you two have. Bless BOTH of you and bless your sweet friendship and marriage. It really does my heart GOOD to see such a happy marriage. It just wasn't meant to be for me-- and that's OK. Life goes on. I love this channel. It's like visiting family. 😁 (I don't hardly ever comment on UA-cam, but sometimes. I just HAVE to.)
Hi Shane ✋🏻Tell Merina I needed her encouragement and the laughs at the end. She had me in stitches with the whole heavyset tangent. Y’all are such a light in my world.
Love you two! You're so sweet together. I'm a plus size girl. You and I are very similar in size and build. My parents brought me up constantly building my physical confidence. I'm SO thankful for that. You are so lovely, Merina, and I'm so glad God gave you your sweet Shane. You are both treasures. ❤
You are the BEST FRIEND, a great wife and an awesome mama!! 💕💕
My family loves your channel Merina, we are in SC and watch every episode since we found it 3 years ago. You and "Awesomely Created" are our sitcom/diy program that we don't have to worry about some ungodly liberal agenda being slipped in, just good wholesome content. Keep up the good work the Lord has laid on your heart !!! We will be watching !! :)
You are beautiful Merina! Thanks for being so kind, supportive, caring, and amazing! 💝
You and Shane are so adorable! Just love watching you cut up together. I love it when you speak because your words are spirit led so even if it's talking about your day or giving encouragement I'm inspired and uplifted. Very similar to spending time with a good friend. That's also the reason I can watch your videos to wind down. I've been reading more scriptures lately and working on my personal relationship with God and I'd like to think your encouragement has a part in that. One part in the million little things in my life that has drawn me back into his word. Never shut up my friend and never underestimate the power of your voice and the effect it can hold in the lives of others.
My momma used to write a note to me on my napkin in my lunch pal. I had the best mom!! She is worshipping with Jesus in heaven have the time of her life and i can’t wait to see her again!!!
I love how your so real and tell it like it is. Loving yourself is definitely something we all need to learn. As for the silver wear I feel you on the utensils disappearing I also have four kiddos and they seem to not know where utensils bowls or cups go. They send to walk away as well lol. Your relationship with your husband is so beautiful. I love how y’all have grown and after all those years have so much respect and love for each other. Truly real relationship goals. And yass. The kitchen gadgets And new cooking wear is always exciting. Especially to us mommas I love love the look of the beautiful brand. Keep up the great work we love listening to you and seeing your content. Don’t ever change
What an amazing video, love hearing the growth in Y'all's marriage. Shane's a supportive husband & father & Mernia you in return as a wife & Mother.This is Our loving God Blessings on a well devoted & deserving family ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this video for all of your extended You Tube family . Sending Hugs. Blessings & Grace for Y'all ❤
Merina - YOU are beautiful inside AND out. . you don't need makeup on your face and fancy clothes because YOU are beautiful just the way you are!! You are genuinely funny with the things you come up with and you don't even have to try. . YOU are a sweet person, an AWESOME MOM, and s loving wife to your husband.💕I enjoy watching your videos not only because you are so REAL, but because you & your husband are extremely talented - you're a TEAM and God created you two literally for each other.❤❤
I used to lose all my silverware and I finally figured it out!!!! When I used paper plates I couldn’t keep silverware!!!! Uuugghh!!! since I stopped using so much paper plates, the silverware isn’t leaving as quick! My theory is.“IT ENDS UP IN THE TRASH with THE PAPER PLATES”
This ☝🏼
I always had to check after one of my Grandsons visits, he’s adhd, and I always went through the trash can cause it never failed, he would pitch my silverware with his paper plate. ❤❤
Sometimes the kids take them outside to dig or something.
I went through the same thing 😂. Now I buy cheap ones from Walmart & Dollar Tree for a drawer section & they are only allowed to use those
Girl you can brag about your husband. A lot of women don’t. Be proud God has blessed you both ❤
I love ur Talk to people moments, somebody needs a word🎉
I so love Shane he is amazing and don’t play about his Queen and I love that about him. And the look in his eyes when he looks at you is to die for ❤
Merina, you are always a joy to watch and you are beautiful inside and out ,love your new cookware 🫶🤞🙏🍀😍🎉🌈🌹👍💯🩷🩷🩷🩷💙💜💜🩵🩵🤎🤍🩶🖤

Glory to God🙌 Great job Shane, you two deserve it all. God Bless 💕🙏
We love hearing you talk and we love who you are.. don’t change…….
I'm so happy for y'all best in UA-cam award winning
Congratulations on all the new kitchenware. One suggestion, if you can return the air fryer 3 qrt to a 5 or 6 qrt it will be much better for you. You can’t get very much in a 3 qrt and you will have to do 3 or more batches for your family size! It will make you cooking so much more efficient. I cook steaks, hamburgers, shrimp, fries and all kinds of things but they are not supposed to be stacked on topnofneachother like the fries you have to spread them out the air can get through the food and cook it correctly.
I hope that helps you and God and your family are all such a blessing.❤
Thank you Shane for an honest men's point of view. You guys are a blessing!
It’s your channel be you nobody gets to tell you to shut anything anymore I love your spontaneous conversations and you joy that’s part of UA-cam and anyone who doesn’t like it then they can tune out and find someone else who cares you go get it girl🎉🎉🎉
Hey Marina I love all the items in your kitchen haul. Shane is such a Great husband. Yes tell the whole world how good your husband is. I just love your family. Y'all are truly a beautiful Blessed family!! Good is so Good! Tfs. ❤❤❤😊

I get on my phone every evening to see if you posted a video. I could watch every day! I love you and your family!
You two are the true meaning of true love♥️♥️
Love when you talk like we are in the room with you. Makes it feel like we are visiting. Your channel is unique and fun and interesting to follow. I'm a mom of 10 girls, so chit-chat on!!!
Preach it sister!!! Thank God for you, your family and your faith!
I run an animal rescue and had a bad day. Someone brought in 3 kittens in a carrier that someone left in a park. Covered in fleas. I was so mad. Watching yr video relaxes me. Love listening to you. I think you r beautiful both inside and out. Love yr family. Keep doing what you do
What about children.
@@fhenderson8925 what abt children?
It's sad. But understand it is really hard to find someone to take animals in. Where I live, the shelters and rescues all require you to pay to surrender each animal. If they are even taking any in. I was in a really tough spot trying to find someone to help out with a sick cat. It was the mercy of God that he sent a foundation my way to help out. It was so rough and maddening. It made me understand why people just dump animals. Especially if they're in a tight spot.
It is sad and it’s people who ate irresponsible that is causing this problem. As for asking for a surrender fee. How do u think we operate. I get no grants or govt funding. I rely on donations to keep my doors open. Plus nobody at the rescue including me is paid. I am in bflo New York and my rescue along with every other rescue is jammed pack. Why? Because of people do not spay /neuter and instead of taking and keeping an animal they dump them.i do not have a money tree and I need to pay my bills just like you do. I do not get free rent,utilities or vet care. How anyone can sleep at night knowing they dumped animals is beyond me. There is NO Excuse
I love watching this channel and how much you talk! When my brother passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, I didn't want to hold a conversation with anyone, but I wanted someone to talk to me, and just be there, and keep me out of my head and keep me engaged and thinking about other things than the loss of my brother. I binge watched your channel in those first few weeks after his passing. And I can't express HOW MUCH you and your videos got me through those days. Your daily "conversations with me" kept me sane and kept me from being completely enveloped by my grief and sadness. Mirena, I owe you so many thanks for keeping me sane when I was enduring the deepest grief of my life to that point. Thank you Mirena, thank you for your channel, your conversations and just being you. You help people in more ways than you know!
Shane is a keeper
I love love love listening to you ramble on! I love listening to you and Shane interact! I love listening to the kids in the background. You are perfect just the way you are. Never let anyone silence you. Hemingway said "Never be daunted" I try to live by this everyday. And you are really really pretty girlfriend!
Girl you talk as much as you want love all your videos.
She real that’s why we watch her ❤
I love watching you and your family! My youngest is 7 and gets bullied severely at school. He is such a sweet smart funny little boy because of his ADHD he is hyper and can be a lil in your face when he's excited about something but he has a huge heart and would do anything for anyone. It breaks my heart because he is such a sweet, kind hearted little boy.
❤😊
Have you considered homeschooling him?
@@jkalb1744 yes we have but unfortunately with his ADHD and stuff he won't get the resources he needs if homeschooled I've already told the school that this year I wont be nice we live in a very small town i will be going directly to parents if the school fails to deal with it.
It's me. I'm one of those the Lord was speaking to you about. I'm sure there are others. I literally wrote out a whole letter yesterday and read it to my husband about this.
Well, please pray for me. I have a past where I was discouraged from speaking, singing, laughing, and sharing a single thought. For years, I barely spoke, and it was hardly audible. I was abused, bullied, sometimes neglected, and a lot of the names I was called was because I was brown-skinned. Also, my mom drank heavily and was not kind to me. She's better now. I was told I didn't belong anywhere. But God keeps putting me in positions where I have to use my voice and share my thoughts. I now manage a team at work. I'm an introvert and lead a team in worship each Sunday.
I write songs. People love them but I've been SO SCARED! I don't have friends except on here. No one listens to me in a crowd. I've been putting it off for 2 years now. Thank you, God, for using Merina. 🙏 Thank you
