I'm sorry I can't respond to every comment but please know that I read every single one! Y'all are just the sweetest, your comments are makin' me ugly cry😭❤ thank you all for being here, for being a part of this community of women who lift each other up & encourage each other. Have a blessed day 🥰
You are awesome Kim girl!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your heart, I think most Mom’s can definitely identify!!! I’m a Grandma, but I can clearly remember how I felt after the birth of our daughter 38 years ago! God bless your sweet heart dear sister in Christ!!! I’ve binged every video, so I’m now all caught up! You have changed a lot since you began, I appreciate the knowledge and wisdom you have gained and now share with us!!! Sending lots of love and prayers to you, Daryl & Callan 🥰🙏🏻❤️❌⭕️🙋🏻♀️
Sis, we don’t accept criticisms from people that we wouldn’t take advice from. You are putting yourself out there and doing a great job. Praying for you girl.
Postpartum is so so hard! I actually started having bad migraines 6 months after my son was born. It lasted for a grueling month and then chilled out. I hope that’s somewhat encouraging… It’s evident that you love what you do and are clearly called to it. Praying for your postpartum journey ❤️
Shame on anyone who makes this lovely young lady feel less than amazing. Finding your way thru motherhood is a rollercoaster, and you’re doing an exceptional job. Love to you 💙
Hey there Kim🤗 I really loved hearing your thoughts today. When you spoke about speaking negatively toward yourself and that God is kinder than you are to yourself, it reminded me of 1 John 3:20. In part it says, “God is greater than our hearts”. I’ve always loved this verse because it lets me know that God doesn’t look at me the way I look at myself. He’s much kinder. As much as our own mind and heart can play tricks on us and cause us to berate ourselves, God is not like that. He’s not subject to anxiety and negative thoughts like we can be. It’s probably my favorite scripture when I’m feeling anxious and like I’m “failing” at life. I hope it helps you too.
I was one of those young women who wanted nothing more than being a wife and mom. And while it's the most fulfilling gift I've ever experienced it's also brought some of the hardest things I've experienced! Give yourself lots of grace, postpartum emotions are real, accepting change and finding a new normal takes time. I know I've often felt like I have to discover the new me again. And somehow in all of this I feel like I've struggled to be a confident wife and mom and it's hard for me to accept that cause I used to be relatively confident in who I was. But I love how you brought in the need of knowing who we are in God! Because I think that is the foundation to living joyfully. I'll whisper a prayer for you.
You have your priorities right, Kim. Being a mother is the most important thing you will ever do in life. You have one shot and there’s no editing and redoing it.
I am 4mth POstpartum with my 2nd and this is the wave of motherhood where we feel like we should have it all down by now and have fit the baby into who we previously were. But we have changed, priorities have changed and that’s OK. When i start thinking “I should have done this for work, should have picked up sooner, should have prepped dinner” I try to stop myself and say “I COULD have prepped dinner, I chose to snuggle my baby and that’s OK” bc it really is ok and those snuggles are such a short art of our entire lives.
Kim, I really admire how you keep your priorities straight. Yes! Just remember who you are in Christ! And also I totally feel you on struggling to feel that way. I never knew post pardom was so much “a thing “. Our little boy is almost 4 months old. So many emotions! May God’s grace and love fill you abundantly!
Having doubts about yourself is so normal, especially when you become a mom. Trust in God and do your best…when it’s all said and done that’s all we can do, and that’s enough.
God created you for such a time as this. You inspire me to create a warm, loving and welcoming home for my husband and I. I wish there was a way to delete those negative comments before you could read them because I know that your heart is pure in your choice of content. Please continue to know that you are loved and valued by many!
Remember to give yourself grace, too.... several others that i watch, their hubbys or someone else reads and weeds their comments first to spare them that drudgery and dread. You're right, time goes quickly with your children.... don't apologize for wanting to spend time with them and your hubby. Blessings💜
As a mother of grown children (and blessed with grandchildren), being a mother is one of the greatest blessings I have ever had (yes here's the But!) It's also the hardest job. My emotions entirely changed when I became a mom. My love was deeper but my emotions were all over the place. I was afraid to talk to other moms because my mind told me they were better moms, wife, etc than me. Not true! The devil knew I was weak and he attacked. Reaching out to other moms and praying together was the best! There's a song that says I'll pray for you and you pray for me and together we can reach heaven from our knees. So let's pray for each other, God hears!
This is beautifully written! I needed to hear this also. I am a young mom and struggle with these thoughts as well. Am I a good wife? Am a good enough Mother for my children.
@@veronika2190 I realized during the season of motherhood that God allowed me to be their mother here on earth. If He chose me and could trust me to be their mother then with His help I could do motherhood. And yes I failed in many ways but through God' s grace they are grown Christian mothers and wifes. We actually talk about the times we feel like we failed but a 9 year old girl asked me why do we use the word "if", she went on to say it was a negative word that makes you sad. You can't change if into I did. Just remember you are chosen and loved by the one that gave His life for you. Someday when your children are grown you will be able to actually smile at some of the things you did. You are not alone. Keeping you in my prayers
Hey Kim! I want you to know that you’re not alone in this season. But seriously, I love love watching your videos when you upload. You’re doing great!🤍
Kim, there are many seasons of a woman’s life. And we morph and change constantly based on who needs us, what’s happening in our lives and the world, what our children are going through, what our husbands are struggling with, and so forth. It is what is is, it has ever been thus, and always will be. Just take it as it comes and do your best, and then Let Go snd Let God. Enjoy your son and this fleeting season. Bless you for your honesty. Take care.
Yes, we all have seasons in our lives. (I always wanted to be a wife and mother, too!) 🥰 I am now nearly 65, and back when I had 5 young children I got involved in what would be 4 years of producing a Christian homeschooling magazine. I regret now that I spent so much time focused on this rather than on my babies. My older girls don't have happy memories of those years, either. So you are 100% right, Kim, to ensure that you prioritizeyour family first, because this is what will be most important to you 20 years from now. Keep remembering that you ARE enough! Blessings in Christ... 🙏❤🙏
Thank you for opening up. This was very relatable and encouraging. You seem like an awesome Proverbs 31 woman. Especially in this fallen world. Hold your chin up and be proud to be a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! You are not alone sis. Satan already lost. 🦁🙏💪❤
The fact that you have your priorities in order makes you a great wife and mom. Don’t let those negative comments get you down. I’m now a new first time Nana and I love watching your channel. Your a beautiful talented young lady. Having a new baby is a big adjustment. Don’t feel guilty about taking a break to spend time with your precious little one. You are doing what The Lord called you to do and that’s what’s most important. Praying for you during this transition in life. Enjoy those sweet moments. They will pass all too fast. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙
Being a mom is an important job and a child is only small once and for a short time! And I know the feeling of not being sure if I'm a good enough mom. We have a heavenly Father who is always there for us if we only come to him. Matthew 11:28
I am LOVING this real and raw Kim! You may not see it this way now, but even in the midst of your struggles and hardest season, you’re a light and testimony to others watching (on UA-cam and in person). You dropped so many truth bombs and what the enemy meant for evil, I can see so clearly how God is using it for good! You said it yourself in this video! You know who’s behind the lies and negative thoughts and you are so many steps ahead of him bc you KNOW that you are a child of God! Take it easy, keep basking in God’s truths about who you are, and upload when you feel up to it - don’t put so much pressure on yourself! You’re not always going to have all your ducks in a row, and THATS OK! This is all part of your life’s testimony. Looking forward to more content from you 🤍
Such wonderful reminder and encouragement tht I needed to be reminded on tht our identity in Christ and how much he loves me! I am recent new mom, and my son is little over a month old and feel like Ive kinda been dealing with same things as you! You made sense!! 🙏❤
As a blogger who is limited by health issues and still wants to be consistent, I can relate, Kim. Just give it all to Jesus!! He cares about what you care about!! Have you thought about changing your UA-cam schedule? What if you set up a bi-weekly or even monthly schedule? That way you wouldn't have to feel like you failed by posting less often because it would be part of the plan! I know it's easier said than done - it is for me too. Just know that you aren't alone as a Christian content creator who struggles with this!! Hugs!!!
Don't let UA-cam steal your joy in this season, setting priorities and letting things go is so hard but worth it in the end! Don't compare! You are the best mom for Callan and that's why God chose you for him!
Always remember that you are a beloved daughter of Jesus Christ! You are a beautiful and wonderful person who puts herself out there for others. Enjoy every moment with your husband and precious baby!
I love you so much, Kim. You are a very wonderful mother and wife. I absolutely love watching you love and care for Daryl and Callan. You are just a natural at it. The devil is trying hard to destroy the ministry you have and he needs to know that we are all recognizing him. Jesus, please bind Satan! I am so blessed for all the positive support people are giving to you in the current comments. You are reaching far more people than you realize. God had a plan for you before you were even born and he has equipped you to carry out his plan. You do such a good job at listening to Him and just taking the next step even when it's scary. I think it's great that you were able to share your heart with your youtube friends. It helps them realize you're for real and not pretending. If you can talk yourself into not being pressured to post every week I think there will be so much freedom in that. Maybe you can go more with a free style of when you feel God wants you to post something, that's when you post. 🥰 I am so proud of you, Daughter! Keep listening to Jesus and agree with him about the value he's placed on you not the lies of the enemy. If you get a chance, watch Louie Giglio's "Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table". It's so good! All the loves and kisses I can send, Mom ❤💕❤
My heart goes out to you. I have 2 babies, a 20 month old and 6 month old.. so I can relate to so much of what you’re talking about. It was also my life dream to be a wife and mother, and here I am living it! So blessed. But also it is the hardest job ever. And I so can identify with the negative thoughts about yourself. And then when you read a bad comment or someone tells you something negative, it’s so easy to dwell on that and let it eat you alive. This postpartum stage is a very, very tender stage and I don’t think mentally we are made to be super strong mentally during this season. I have learned my lesson who I open up to about how I am feeling; be careful and it’s ok to have boundaries in place. Even with people close to you. You are doing a wonderful job! 💞
your heart to heart helps people like me who need to hear everything you said! you're a wonderful example of a wife, mother, and disciple of Christ. we love you!
Ohhh sister in Christ… this is a struggle that we all face. Especially us mothers… I understand completely. There is good and bad in all of us. But… this Bible verse popped in my mind as soon as you started venting. “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things “ Philippians 4:8. The seed of evil goes back to the beginning of time. Our Father in Heaven won’t put seeds of doubt & shame & or de-value you in your mind… you keep pressing forward and stay focused on the good. I know it is hard to do at times but write down the blessings daily and when the bad guy steps in to make you feel less valuable remember the good. I will pray for you because I know the walk. I think all mommas go through it at one point or another. And I’m proud of you for reaching out.
Post-partum depression comes in many forms...but we as women do to. We have seasons of change and you need to be what God has called you to be...and at this time Mom and wife are your most important things right now. Youre our sister in Christ, we love you and want only the best for you. You do you and your family. We will be here cheering you on, supporting you, pushing you, being a listening ear, praying for you and with you. God bless you.
Kim, I think you do a fabulous job at everything. I'm 61, never married, no kids. I love to watch your videos. You amaze me with everything you know how to do from pie crust to canning. Don't fret the small stuff!
Kim, it was so nice to hear your thoughts, such a needed reminder that God loves us. Don't forget God's got this. May God bless your beautiful family, you are doing awesome💗
Kim, you are so so sweet! The way you described the call to & your passion of being a wife & a mom was so beautiful - it made me cry 💕 You’re doing a great job!
You seem to have such a soft heart….you have the perfect foundation to be the best but you must believe it. Stay strong in your faith and God will bring you through this season in life. ❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking about your Chanel today. And I came upon this video. I needed your story in my season. Yes it all makes since! Thank you for being so real! Thank you for sharing and your awesome in all the things!! 🥰
Kim, enjoy your time being a mom to a young baby! They grow so fast!! He is such a handsome little dude! If you don’t always post a UA-cam don’t worry about it! You are enough !! You a wonderful cook & mom & wife. Everyone is different & don’t let others bully or give you a hard time! You live your faith well!
I think you are spectacular! I can’t wait to hear your postpartum story. I think it will benefit a great many. You are doing so well and courageous for sharing! I felt so alone 42 years ago when I was a new mommy. Guess what….they are fantastic humans !
I LOVE watching you and seeing you live out your faith for so many to see! Becoming a mom was a huge transition for me, so I completely see where you’re coming from, but just know you are amazing and doing a great job!!!
I’m glad I could watch this video and listen to your heart, and to hear someone else say God is in control because I say it to myself about 100 times a day. I can relate to you with the migraines and if they happen often I suggest cutting gluten down in your diet. It’s hard to do but it has helped a lot.
Girl! Same! I’m a mom of two. My oldest is 3 and I am still trying to figure out how to balance it all. Sometimes it can feel so lonely trying to figure out ourselves with each new stage but we truly are never alone. Thank you for sharing and having the courage to share! :)
You are so beautiful Kim! Everything is a learning curve, you aren’t supposed to be amazing at everything right away. It’s okay to have self doubt, we all do! Taking things day by day to find the little joys in life and being the best YOU that you can be :) thanks for being open and honest, it’s refreshing to see that others on social media struggle with things so common. We hear you, and we are always here for you! 💗
UA-cam is a great place for creativity but it shouldn't be something that rules our lives and gives bondage. Thank you for sharing any amount of videos you do! As well for pointing it all back to finding our identity in Christ. God bless!
Exactly! And although I’m interested in hearing her birth story, I don’t want her to feel pressured. I would rather that she not force the video, nor share that part of her life if she feels uncomfortable.
Kim, you are doing an awesome job and our Heavenly Father is soooo proud of you! Don't pay attention to any naysayer's opinions as they don't count! Forget posting with any regular schedule and putting that pressure on yourself: as you said your family is your priority. Just keep being you and post when you want and when it works for you. Love listening to such a fine, Christian woman!!
Kim, I love watching your videos and as a mom and grandma, I can tell you there are always going to be days that things just won't run smoothly. Now you've added a newborn to the mix and that's a full-time job all in itself. We will all be here for you when you have the time. God Bless you, Darrel, and your precious baby boy!
I love all your videos ,sweet girl, and you certainly have your head on straight! Dusting and sweeping (& You tube) will wait for tomorrow because I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep. A poem I remember hearing 40 plus years ago having my boys. We will be here waiting on your delicious cooking videos and others ones until your ready. Hug your baby and your husband…much more important than You Tube! God bless you and your family!
Girl I can relate!!! I was always super confident in my role in life, and then I got married and I wanted to be the best wife for my husband, and there’s so many things we as woman can do!! But it doesn’t mean we have to do them all! My husband has really helped me to not worry about all that I’m NOT doing and enjoy what I AM doing! I do love your UA-cam channel♥️
This content was good for you to open up and tell us about what you being going through. Praying that this will make you stronger as a wife and mother. You will be okay because you are a GOD FEARING WOMAN. Thanks for sharing.
I just watched this on my TV. I struggle too with feelings of inadequacy, so thank you for sharing your heart, what you said I really needed to hear. But getting g back to you now... offer yourself some grace sweet girl. You do you, and you are right our Littles grow up so fast, and by all means Callan needs to come first ... and while I'd miss ya if you weren't here so to speak, but I'd sure understand it. Life is short, enjoy it! And as for the critics, poo poo on them ! Lol!
Big hugs! Yes. You are loved, chosen, redeemed, adopted, accepted and saved. Don't ever forget it! Pick a chapter of the Bible and write down everything God says about you as a Christian. Someone once told me to do that, and it really helped me through a similar thing I was going through. 💜💜💜
Oh, Kim. It is hard to hear of the battle that you have been waging of second guessing your value and capabilities. From where I stand (as a 68 year old mom and grandma) I see a sweet young mom who keeps a cosy clean home, who has a delightfully happy little boy and sweet husband. May I speak the Word of God over you? You are fearfully and wonderfully made and treasured by your Creator. Just as you love your little one…he doesn’t have to do or be anything to have your love…neither do you to be the object of His love. Also you are in an emotionally weak stage of life, sleep deprived at times I’m guessing and on an hormonal roller coaster. I pray that you can relax in the grace and peace of the Lord and enjoy this time of being a mommy. Blessings on you and your household 💗
Oh Kim! 😭 we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil is a liar!! You are all that you need to be my friend!! Be encouraged.
You are so precious Kim! Your kind and loving heart shines through! This 68 yr old grandma loves your channel and I am always inspired by you! Dont put pressure on yourself just do what you can on UA-cam. Those babies will be grown and gone in the blink of an eye, trust me. Children are a blessing. Enjoy them. You are an awesome mom! God bless. 💖
Love your channel. You are such a wonderful person, and you have great talents in baking, gardening, and many other areas which I’ve learned so much from you. One thing I heard this week that really helped me when thinking of what other people may be saying to put me down is “God is not mad at me, He is Madly in Love with me”. And as another friend would say to me, “Be encouraged in the Lord, and have a Blessed Day!”
Hey I've been watching your videos for awhile now and I love them. And thank you for the heart to heart now I don't feel so alone in my struggles. And I'm sorry your going thru doubt and all that it's no fun😊❤ Keep up the good work
Hot lemon water ( or cold) is soooooooooo healthy ! I drink it often, I also love my coffee too, and tea. But lemon water... ohhhh its so good, and so good for us. I am much older than you, am a Mom of 2 and a widow. I can tell you, in my years of experience, that what you are going thru is very normal. You are very young, a wife and now a Mom. Being a new Mom is the biggest thing in life, and sometimes the hardest. Don't beat yourself up about it. As Christian women, we tend to convict ourselves on everything. Step back, breathe, pray about it then go on with your day/night. You are doing great, just keep doing what you are doing and all will be well. And don't forget to take your vitamins. I highly recommend taking extra B Complex. It is life changing ! Take care 🍃🍂🍁🌞🌛🦃🥰✝️🥧😃🙏🧡🌲🍃🍂🍁🌞🌛🦃🥰✝️🥧😃🙏🧡🌲
Omg girl.i wish we could be friends I'm literally coming out of a season that ur in. I can identify 100 percent with what your saying.. you got this I'm praying for you Let God carry you through this ❤
Kim, bless your dear heart! You are so sweet, and you are doing an amazing job! I was once where you are, and I totally understand how you feel. Our dear boy is now 20 years old, and as I walk through all the stages of motherhood, I can tell you that God is faithful. We will never feel like we are enough, but He is enough. And He is pleased, and it does not matter what anyone else on earth says. His opinion is the only one that matters. The Master's approval is the servant's best wages - just remember that and focus on that. God is so pleased with you being the wife and mother you are, and yes, you ARE where God wants you. We all struggle. Please give yourself grace. Your baby will grow SO fast - I cannot believe our son is already 20, and I miss every single stage of the past. When those days are gone, you can't go back. Life moves on and it goes by so fast. The enemy loves to kill, steal, and destroy every moment of life, and later we look back and wish we hadn't given him space in our heads. he certainly does not deserve to have that right. I hope you can find peace and balance right where you are right now and just breathe and enjoy your little family. They are who matter and who will be there for you long after your UA-cam and other pursuits are a part of your history. God bless you, Kim. I am praying for you today.
Kim you are a great mom to Callan! Enjoy him!❤ Going through a lot of change myself, 10 weeks pregnant and morning sickness and exhaustion is hitting me in this pregnancy! Feeling like a failure when it's so hard to get anything done! I've always just wanted to be a wife and a mom too❤
I’m not going through post partum but I totally understood and related to so much you said!! Especially the identity stuff!! Remembering that Gods got you in His hand can be so hard at times for some reason especially when people get you down! But you’ve got this and you’ll figure out how to balance it all! Praying for you as you sort it all out:) love you cuz!❤️
Going through postpartum too, can totally relate. Thank you for ending with optimism, it really helped me to be reminded of how great His love is. And what a blessing it is to have little ones and a husband! Ive wanted this since I was a little girl too haha. Praying for you and your family. May the God of peace be with you.
Transparency is a blessing ❤️ And you're absolutely right, your family, your baby, are infinitely more important than the internet, and internet friends. I am in no way saying you are struggling with this, but I had serious postpartum depression and anxiety after my 4th baby. My counselling at that time taught me so much about prioritizing. Investing in family, in the REAL world, that you can touch and feel and experience, is always the healthiest and most healing. I did not even use my phone at all during that time. No social media of any kind. The negativity that our minds have a way of picking up and feeding on is very unhealthy. Our hormonally influenced emotions postpartum are fragile. I don't know you, but feel a concern about the struggles you related. So I my bit of encouragement is to take care of your family and yourself. ❤️ May God bless you 🙏
The devil knows when and exactly how to hurt and hit us where it cuts the most. You are a very inspiring person. There will always be a few that for some reason will try to tear you down. When you start feeling down on yourself just remember that God made you in His image and he doesn't make less than. Love you sister
You are a great mom Kim! But I understand what you are going through.! I have 4 children my youngest is 5 months and I have went through similar things! I got on vitamins and it seems to help! Doterra has an awesome llv! Being a mom is the best thing in the world but it can be draining! You have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of others!❤️
Well, I want you to know that I have loved every video you put out and appreciate all the time you have invested in them. I think you are showing us all how to be a good mom, wife and christian. I enjoy all your content and posts! 💗
God bless you and your beautiful family. You are doing great. Your baby will thrive on all the love, hugs and kisses; not whether or not your house is Pinterest perfect. You are so sweet and I know your baby is doing great with a mom like you ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I saw the comments unfold when you posted that video and I KNEW it would be so discouraging for you. I said a prayer and will continue. I’m so sorry. I am proud of you for growing from this. You are correct. Your identity is in Christ alone amd not in your viewers’ opinions! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was such a relatable video! Thank you for sharing your heart and being so positive and kind. You are a joy to watch and I love your videos! But, you are right. UA-cam isn’t your priority these days. Enjoy your handsome son and these new days. We will look forward to the videos to come as you are ready. 😊
I struggle with what others think of me and I too think worse about myself than anyone else does. It makes me cringe and second guess myself anytime I lose a follower, leaving me wondering what’s wrong with me. Then I have to remind myself that I could be the most amazing piece of cake in the world and there will still be someone out there who doesn’t like cake. Hah. I am a mother of four (fourth baby 1 month old!) I couldn’t have started a UA-cam as a first time mom, but now as a “seasoned” mother I am able to find time to UA-cam AND be a decent wife and mother. I tend to record just everyday things that I will already be doing, and the kids are in a lot of the videos! Watching your UA-cam this year encouraged me to start my own channel by the way. Knowing you’re enough in the eyes of God is a very big deal, hold onto that and give yourself a ton of grace. Keep the videos coming when you feel up to it, and we will all be eager to watch! Praying for you, Kim!
Your so inspirational! Loved the video! As a Christian I understand what your going through, I go through things constantly. And the Devil knows how to make us doubt and believe it! We just gotta pray everyday!! And don’t worry about someone not liking how you do things.. just be yourself and you do you if they don’t like it they should just unsubscribe or quit watching the video! God bless.
How strong!! How brave! How beautiful! Thank you for sharing your real life moments. There are so many people that wish they could do what you just did. You’ve got this and remember no one has it figured out. We are all just trying. Xoxo
Hi Kim I know how you feel but just remember everyone has their own shoes right don't worry what other people saying about you they not in your shoes right. I'm sorry that you feel low to I'm always felt low to after having a baby it helps to visit friends more often maybe it can help you too
Thank you so much for sharing and being vulnerable with us. This was such a timely video for me. I have been struggling with insecurities and feeling like a failure too. I’m a college student right now, and I have been doubting myself and wondering if I’m really doing what God wants me to do with my life. Thank you for your encouragement!! It helps to hear from someone else dealing with similar things. Know that we are praying for you and that you don’t have to meet everyone’s expectations for you!! Live wholeheartedly for the Lord, first and foremost 💙
🤗 Hello Kim! I’m 67, I was where you are many years ago. You are experiencing feelings that most mothers do to one degree or another. You have a husband who is responsible, helpful, and supportive. You have a sweet little baby. Do the best you can everyday and that is all that is expected of you. Some days will be better than others. The Lord loves you and watches over you everyday, keep reminding yourself of that. Make your videos when you can, we will watch them. Videos are not your main concern. Yes, you enjoy making them but don’t make them so important. Any of us who have been where you are now know it takes time to get the hang of being a new mother, we are not born with the knowledge of how it’s all supposed to be. Take care of yourself. I am praying for you. ❤️
You are an amazing young woman. You are correct that your identity is rock solid in the Lord. Hang in there, and I'm hopeful that you have time to share little glimpses of your beautiful life. But family is job #1! 🧡
Kim I totally understand! When my babies were you sons age and little I stayed home and that was my job. Once they got to preschool age I started teaching preschool again at our church and they came with me. Now they are elementary age I am working only part time in their school. Never have I worked full time since my babies were born. We have been very blessed that my husband can provide for our family. He is a firefighter so he is gone so much as well so our consistency for our boys is me at home. Every stage I feel like you will question yourself and your worth- but like you said give it to Jesus. He will show you your worth and praise you for the job your doing right now as a wife and mom. You are enough! You are worthy! And you are doing an amazing job!
Kim- You have amazing talents. You brighten the world with love. I enjoy all your videos. Your cooking and gardening videos are the best. GOD sent you to remind us all how wonderfully made we are. GOD loves us… Thank you for being real. Cherish and absorb this time in your life because in a blink the children will be grown. Please know you have touched my life in a positive way.
Take the time, to enjoy every second, of your baby’s life!! The first year, goes by so very quickly! Breathe and take one step, at a time!! You’re doing awesome!
I'm sorry I can't respond to every comment but please know that I read every single one! Y'all are just the sweetest, your comments are makin' me ugly cry😭❤ thank you all for being here, for being a part of this community of women who lift each other up & encourage each other. Have a blessed day 🥰
You are awesome Kim girl!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your heart, I think most Mom’s can definitely identify!!! I’m a Grandma, but I can clearly remember how I felt after the birth of our daughter 38 years ago! God bless your sweet heart dear sister in Christ!!! I’ve binged every video, so I’m now all caught up! You have changed a lot since you began, I appreciate the knowledge and wisdom you have gained and now share with us!!! Sending lots of love and prayers to you, Daryl & Callan 🥰🙏🏻❤️❌⭕️🙋🏻♀️
Coffee ☕ naturally dehydrates you, unfortunately it has been marketed as a health drink, and it's not!
Sis, we don’t accept criticisms from people that we wouldn’t take advice from. You are putting yourself out there and doing a great job. Praying for you girl.
I watch you for encouragement, you are doing great! 💝
Postpartum is so so hard! I actually started having bad migraines 6 months after my son was born. It lasted for a grueling month and then chilled out. I hope that’s somewhat encouraging…
It’s evident that you love what you do and are clearly called to it. Praying for your postpartum journey ❤️
Shame on anyone who makes this lovely young lady feel less than amazing. Finding your way thru motherhood is a rollercoaster, and you’re doing an exceptional job. Love to you 💙
Hey there Kim🤗 I really loved hearing your thoughts today. When you spoke about speaking negatively toward yourself and that God is kinder than you are to yourself, it reminded me of 1 John 3:20. In part it says, “God is greater than our hearts”. I’ve always loved this verse because it lets me know that God doesn’t look at me the way I look at myself. He’s much kinder. As much as our own mind and heart can play tricks on us and cause us to berate ourselves, God is not like that. He’s not subject to anxiety and negative thoughts like we can be. It’s probably my favorite scripture when I’m feeling anxious and like I’m “failing” at life. I hope it helps you too.
I was one of those young women who wanted nothing more than being a wife and mom. And while it's the most fulfilling gift I've ever experienced it's also brought some of the hardest things I've experienced! Give yourself lots of grace, postpartum emotions are real, accepting change and finding a new normal takes time. I know I've often felt like I have to discover the new me again. And somehow in all of this I feel like I've struggled to be a confident wife and mom and it's hard for me to accept that cause I used to be relatively confident in who I was. But I love how you brought in the need of knowing who we are in God! Because I think that is the foundation to living joyfully. I'll whisper a prayer for you.
You have your priorities right, Kim. Being a mother is the most important thing you will ever do in life. You have one shot and there’s no editing and redoing it.
I am 4mth POstpartum with my 2nd and this is the wave of motherhood where we feel like we should have it all down by now and have fit the baby into who we previously were. But we have changed, priorities have changed and that’s OK. When i start thinking “I should have done this for work, should have picked up sooner, should have prepped dinner” I try to stop myself and say “I COULD have prepped dinner, I chose to snuggle my baby and that’s OK” bc it really is ok and those snuggles are such a short art of our entire lives.
As a mom and grandma, I think you’re doing an awesome job! God has truly blessed you. ❤️
Kim, I really admire how you keep your priorities straight. Yes! Just remember who you are in Christ! And also I totally feel you on struggling to feel that way. I never knew post pardom was so much “a thing “. Our little boy is almost 4 months old. So many emotions! May God’s grace and love fill you abundantly!
Having doubts about yourself is so normal, especially when you become a mom. Trust in God and do your best…when it’s all said and done that’s all we can do, and that’s enough.
A sign of a good wife and mama is when you put Daryl and Calan before you tube!! Your doing great!
Yes!!!
God created you for such a time as this. You inspire me to create a warm, loving and welcoming home for my husband and I. I wish there was a way to delete those negative comments before you could read them because I know that your heart is pure in your choice of content. Please continue to know that you are loved and valued by many!
Remember to give yourself grace, too.... several others that i watch, their hubbys or someone else reads and weeds their comments first to spare them that drudgery and dread.
You're right, time goes quickly with your children.... don't apologize for wanting to spend time with them and your hubby. Blessings💜
As a mother of grown children (and blessed with grandchildren), being a mother is one of the greatest blessings I have ever had (yes here's the But!) It's also the hardest job. My emotions entirely changed when I became a mom. My love was deeper but my emotions were all over the place. I was afraid to talk to other moms because my mind told me they were better moms, wife, etc than me. Not true! The devil knew I was weak and he attacked. Reaching out to other moms and praying together was the best! There's a song that says I'll pray for you and you pray for me and together we can reach heaven from our knees. So let's pray for each other, God hears!
This is beautifully written! I needed to hear this also. I am a young mom and struggle with these thoughts as well. Am I a good wife? Am a good enough Mother for my children.
@@veronika2190 I realized during the season of motherhood that God allowed me to be their mother here on earth. If He chose me and could trust me to be their mother then with His help I could do motherhood. And yes I failed in many ways but through God' s grace they are grown Christian mothers and wifes. We actually talk about the times we feel like we failed but a 9 year old girl asked me why do we use the word "if", she went on to say it was a negative word that makes you sad. You can't change if into I did. Just remember you are chosen and loved by the one that gave His life for you. Someday when your children are grown you will be able to actually smile at some of the things you did. You are not alone. Keeping you in my prayers
Well said 😊
Hey Kim! I want you to know that you’re not alone in this season. But seriously, I love love watching your videos when you upload. You’re doing great!🤍
Kim, there are many seasons of a woman’s life. And we morph and change constantly based on who needs us, what’s happening in our lives and the world, what our children are going through, what our husbands are struggling with, and so forth. It is what is is, it has ever been thus, and always will be. Just take it as it comes and do your best, and then Let Go snd Let God. Enjoy your son and this fleeting season. Bless you for your honesty. Take care.
Very well put. 😊
This sounds like it was written by a wise woman.
Yes, we all have seasons in our lives. (I always wanted to be a wife and mother, too!) 🥰 I am now nearly 65, and back when I had 5 young children I got involved in what would be 4 years of producing a Christian homeschooling magazine. I regret now that I spent so much time focused on this rather than on my babies. My older girls don't have happy memories of those years, either. So you are 100% right, Kim, to ensure that you prioritizeyour family first, because this is what will be most important to you 20 years from now. Keep remembering that you ARE enough! Blessings in Christ... 🙏❤🙏
Thank you for opening up. This was very relatable and encouraging. You seem like an awesome Proverbs 31 woman. Especially in this fallen world. Hold your chin up and be proud to be a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! You are not alone sis. Satan already lost. 🦁🙏💪❤
The fact that you have your priorities in order makes you a great wife and mom. Don’t let those negative comments get you down. I’m now a new first time Nana and I love watching your channel. Your a beautiful talented young lady. Having a new baby is a big adjustment. Don’t feel guilty about taking a break to spend time with your precious little one. You are doing what The Lord called you to do and that’s what’s most important. Praying for you during this transition in life. Enjoy those sweet moments. They will pass all too fast. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙
Being a mom is an important job and a child is only small once and for a short time! And I know the feeling of not being sure if I'm a good enough mom. We have a heavenly Father who is always there for us if we only come to him. Matthew 11:28
Well put.
Amen, and Amen😊
I am LOVING this real and raw Kim! You may not see it this way now, but even in the midst of your struggles and hardest season, you’re a light and testimony to others watching (on UA-cam and in person). You dropped so many truth bombs and what the enemy meant for evil, I can see so clearly how God is using it for good! You said it yourself in this video! You know who’s behind the lies and negative thoughts and you are so many steps ahead of him bc you KNOW that you are a child of God! Take it easy, keep basking in God’s truths about who you are, and upload when you feel up to it - don’t put so much pressure on yourself! You’re not always going to have all your ducks in a row, and THATS OK! This is all part of your life’s testimony. Looking forward to more content from you 🤍
Such wonderful reminder and encouragement tht I needed to be reminded on tht our identity in Christ and how much he loves me! I am recent new mom, and my son is little over a month old and feel like Ive kinda been dealing with same things as you! You made sense!! 🙏❤
As a blogger who is limited by health issues and still wants to be consistent, I can relate, Kim. Just give it all to Jesus!! He cares about what you care about!! Have you thought about changing your UA-cam schedule? What if you set up a bi-weekly or even monthly schedule? That way you wouldn't have to feel like you failed by posting less often because it would be part of the plan! I know it's easier said than done - it is for me too. Just know that you aren't alone as a Christian content creator who struggles with this!! Hugs!!!
Don't let UA-cam steal your joy in this season, setting priorities and letting things go is so hard but worth it in the end! Don't compare! You are the best mom for Callan and that's why God chose you for him!
I can totally understand! I’d love to do UA-cam but I couldn’t handle the comments. It shouldn’t but I don’t have the thick skin it would take!
Always remember that you are a beloved daughter of Jesus Christ! You are a beautiful and wonderful person who puts herself out there for others. Enjoy every moment with your husband and precious baby!
I love you so much, Kim. You are a very wonderful mother and wife. I absolutely love watching you love and care for Daryl and Callan. You are just a natural at it. The devil is trying hard to destroy the ministry you have and he needs to know that we are all recognizing him. Jesus, please bind Satan! I am so blessed for all the positive support people are giving to you in the current comments. You are reaching far more people than you realize. God had a plan for you before you were even born and he has equipped you to carry out his plan. You do such a good job at listening to Him and just taking the next step even when it's scary. I think it's great that you were able to share your heart with your youtube friends. It helps them realize you're for real and not pretending. If you can talk yourself into not being pressured to post every week I think there will be so much freedom in that. Maybe you can go more with a free style of when you feel God wants you to post something, that's when you post. 🥰 I am so proud of you, Daughter! Keep listening to Jesus and agree with him about the value he's placed on you not the lies of the enemy. If you get a chance, watch Louie Giglio's "Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table". It's so good! All the loves and kisses I can send, Mom ❤💕❤
My heart goes out to you. I have 2 babies, a 20 month old and 6 month old.. so I can relate to so much of what you’re talking about. It was also my life dream to be a wife and mother, and here I am living it! So blessed. But also it is the hardest job ever. And I so can identify with the negative thoughts about yourself. And then when you read a bad comment or someone tells you something negative, it’s so easy to dwell on that and let it eat you alive. This postpartum stage is a very, very tender stage and I don’t think mentally we are made to be super strong mentally during this season. I have learned my lesson who I open up to about how I am feeling; be careful and it’s ok to have boundaries in place. Even with people close to you. You are doing a wonderful job! 💞
your heart to heart helps people like me who need to hear everything you said! you're a wonderful example of a wife, mother, and disciple of Christ. we love you!
Ohhh sister in Christ… this is a struggle that we all face. Especially us mothers… I understand completely. There is good and bad in all of us. But… this Bible verse popped in my mind as soon as you started venting. “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things “ Philippians 4:8.
The seed of evil goes back to the beginning of time. Our Father in Heaven won’t put seeds of doubt & shame & or de-value you in your mind… you keep pressing forward and stay focused on the good. I know it is hard to do at times but write down the blessings daily and when the bad guy steps in to make you feel less valuable remember the good. I will pray for you because I know the walk. I think all mommas go through it at one point or another. And I’m proud of you for reaching out.
Hot lemon water is one of my favorites! It is very good for you besides tasting lovely
We drink hot lemon water too!! Love the video ❤️ keep it up 🥰you're doing amazing 😘
Post-partum depression comes in many forms...but we as women do to. We have seasons of change and you need to be what God has called you to be...and at this time Mom and wife are your most important things right now. Youre our sister in Christ, we love you and want only the best for you. You do you and your family. We will be here cheering you on, supporting you, pushing you, being a listening ear, praying for you and with you. God bless you.
Kim, I think you do a fabulous job at everything. I'm 61, never married, no kids. I love to watch your videos. You amaze me with everything you know how to do from pie crust to canning. Don't fret the small stuff!
Same!!! She’s so sweet and genuine!
Kim, it was so nice to hear your thoughts, such a needed reminder that God loves us. Don't forget God's got this. May God bless your beautiful family, you are doing awesome💗
Kim, you are so so sweet! The way you described the call to & your passion of being a wife & a mom was so beautiful - it made me cry 💕 You’re doing a great job!
You seem to have such a soft heart….you have the perfect foundation to be the best but you must believe it. Stay strong in your faith and God will bring you through this season in life. ❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking about your Chanel today. And I came upon this video. I needed your story in my season. Yes it all makes since! Thank you for being so real! Thank you for sharing and your awesome in all the things!! 🥰
Kim, enjoy your time being a mom to a young baby! They grow so fast!! He is such a handsome little dude! If you don’t always post a UA-cam don’t worry about it! You are enough !! You a wonderful cook & mom & wife. Everyone is different & don’t let others bully or give you a hard time! You live your faith well!
I think you are spectacular! I can’t wait to hear your postpartum story. I think it will benefit a great many. You are doing so well and courageous for sharing! I felt so alone 42 years ago when I was a new mommy. Guess what….they are fantastic humans !
I LOVE watching you and seeing you live out your faith for so many to see! Becoming a mom was a huge transition for me, so I completely see where you’re coming from, but just know you are amazing and doing a great job!!!
I’m glad I could watch this video and listen to your heart, and to hear someone else say God is in control because I say it to myself about 100 times a day. I can relate to you with the migraines and if they happen often I suggest cutting gluten down in your diet. It’s hard to do but it has helped a lot.
Girl! Same! I’m a mom of two. My oldest is 3 and I am still trying to figure out how to balance it all. Sometimes it can feel so lonely trying to figure out ourselves with each new stage but we truly are never alone. Thank you for sharing and having the courage to share! :)
I can relate so much to your feelings. My heart just went out to you here. Much compassion and love to you ❤️🙏🏻
Love this so much. Thank you for sharing your heart and your faith. I can relate to your words 100% and I needed this encouragement today.
You are so beautiful Kim! Everything is a learning curve, you aren’t supposed to be amazing at everything right away. It’s okay to have self doubt, we all do! Taking things day by day to find the little joys in life and being the best YOU that you can be :) thanks for being open and honest, it’s refreshing to see that others on social media struggle with things so common. We hear you, and we are always here for you! 💗
Your sooo sweet! And your right on! God Loves you. Just the way you are. 🙏👑
UA-cam is a great place for creativity but it shouldn't be something that rules our lives and gives bondage. Thank you for sharing any amount of videos you do! As well for pointing it all back to finding our identity in Christ. God bless!
Exactly! And although I’m interested in hearing her birth story, I don’t want her to feel pressured. I would rather that she not force the video, nor share that part of her life if she feels uncomfortable.
Oh sweetie, you're so awesome and genuine. Do you little mama; you're doing a great job and God sees your struggles and He will sustain you!!
Lemon water is great for digestion, :) You're doing great. Many blessings to you and your family!!
Kim, you are doing an awesome job and our Heavenly Father is soooo proud of you! Don't pay attention to any naysayer's opinions as they don't count! Forget posting with any regular schedule and putting that pressure on yourself: as you said your family is your priority. Just keep being you and post when you want and when it works for you. Love listening to such a fine, Christian woman!!
You are enough! Love you Kim! Thanks for the encouragement!
Kim, I love watching your videos and as a mom and grandma, I can tell you there are always going to be days that things just won't run smoothly. Now you've added a newborn to the mix and that's a full-time job all in itself. We will all be here for you when you have the time. God Bless you, Darrel, and your precious baby boy!
I love all your videos ,sweet girl, and you certainly have your head on straight! Dusting and sweeping (& You tube) will wait for tomorrow because I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep. A poem I remember hearing 40 plus years ago having my boys. We will be here waiting on your delicious cooking videos and others ones until your ready. Hug your baby and your husband…much more important than You Tube! God bless you and your family!
Interesting enough is the fact that I had that poem framed in my kids' room when they were little! 😊
I get it! You spoke right to where I am at. Praying you feel Gods arms all around you today!
Girl I can relate!!! I was always super confident in my role in life, and then I got married and I wanted to be the best wife for my husband, and there’s so many things we as woman can do!! But it doesn’t mean we have to do them all! My husband has really helped me to not worry about all that I’m NOT doing and enjoy what I AM doing! I do love your UA-cam channel♥️
Enjoyed your vlog and I love drinking lemon in water
I feel like the most important focus in your life is right where you are - with your family.
This content was good for you to open up and tell us about what you being going through. Praying that this will make you stronger as a wife and mother. You will be okay because you are a GOD FEARING WOMAN. Thanks for sharing.
I just watched this on my TV. I struggle too with feelings of inadequacy, so thank you for sharing your heart, what you said I really needed to hear. But getting g back to you now... offer yourself some grace sweet girl. You do you, and you are right our Littles grow up so fast, and by all means Callan needs to come first ... and while I'd miss ya if you weren't here so to speak, but I'd sure understand it. Life is short, enjoy it! And as for the critics, poo poo on them ! Lol!
Big hugs!
Yes. You are loved, chosen, redeemed, adopted, accepted and saved. Don't ever forget it!
Pick a chapter of the Bible and write down everything God says about you as a Christian. Someone once told me to do that, and it really helped me through a similar thing I was going through. 💜💜💜
Oh, Kim. It is hard to hear of the battle that you have been waging of second guessing your value and capabilities. From where I stand (as a 68 year old mom and grandma) I see a sweet young mom who keeps a cosy clean home, who has a delightfully happy little boy and sweet husband. May I speak the Word of God over you? You are fearfully and wonderfully made and treasured by your Creator. Just as you love your little one…he doesn’t have to do or be anything to have your love…neither do you to be the object of His love. Also you are in an emotionally weak stage of life, sleep deprived at times I’m guessing and on an hormonal roller coaster. I pray that you can relax in the grace and peace of the Lord and enjoy this time of being a mommy. Blessings on you and your household 💗
What a blessing it is to hear those words of life! You are a Godsend!
Oh Kim! 😭 we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil is a liar!! You are all that you need to be my friend!! Be encouraged.
You are so precious Kim! Your kind and loving heart shines through! This 68 yr old grandma loves your channel and I am always inspired by you! Dont put pressure on yourself just do what you can on UA-cam. Those babies will be grown and gone in the blink of an eye, trust me. Children are a blessing. Enjoy them. You are an awesome mom! God bless. 💖
Love your channel. You are such a wonderful person, and you have great talents in baking, gardening, and many other areas which I’ve learned so much from you. One thing I heard this week that really helped me when thinking of what other people may be saying to put me down is “God is not mad at me, He is Madly in Love with me”. And as another friend would say to me, “Be encouraged in the Lord, and have a Blessed Day!”
Precious, important, vital words. Thank you🙏👏
Hey I've been watching your videos for awhile now and I love them. And thank you for the heart to heart now I don't feel so alone in my struggles. And I'm sorry your going thru doubt and all that it's no fun😊❤ Keep up the good work
Hot lemon water ( or cold) is soooooooooo healthy ! I drink it often, I also love my coffee too, and tea. But lemon water... ohhhh its so good, and so good for us. I am much older than you, am a Mom of 2 and a widow. I can tell you, in my years of experience, that what you are going thru is very normal. You are very young, a wife and now a Mom. Being a new Mom is the biggest thing in life, and sometimes the hardest. Don't beat yourself up about it. As Christian women, we tend to convict ourselves on everything. Step back, breathe, pray about it then go on with your day/night. You are doing great, just keep doing what you are doing and all will be well. And don't forget to take your vitamins. I highly recommend taking extra B Complex. It is life changing ! Take care 🍃🍂🍁🌞🌛🦃🥰✝️🥧😃🙏🧡🌲🍃🍂🍁🌞🌛🦃🥰✝️🥧😃🙏🧡🌲
Omg girl.i wish we could be friends I'm literally coming out of a season that ur in. I can identify 100 percent with what your saying.. you got this I'm praying for you Let God carry you through this ❤
Kim, bless your dear heart! You are so sweet, and you are doing an amazing job! I was once where you are, and I totally understand how you feel. Our dear boy is now 20 years old, and as I walk through all the stages of motherhood, I can tell you that God is faithful. We will never feel like we are enough, but He is enough. And He is pleased, and it does not matter what anyone else on earth says. His opinion is the only one that matters. The Master's approval is the servant's best wages - just remember that and focus on that. God is so pleased with you being the wife and mother you are, and yes, you ARE where God wants you. We all struggle. Please give yourself grace. Your baby will grow SO fast - I cannot believe our son is already 20, and I miss every single stage of the past. When those days are gone, you can't go back. Life moves on and it goes by so fast. The enemy loves to kill, steal, and destroy every moment of life, and later we look back and wish we hadn't given him space in our heads. he certainly does not deserve to have that right. I hope you can find peace and balance right where you are right now and just breathe and enjoy your little family. They are who matter and who will be there for you long after your UA-cam and other pursuits are a part of your history. God bless you, Kim. I am praying for you today.
Kim you are a great mom to Callan! Enjoy him!❤ Going through a lot of change myself, 10 weeks pregnant and morning sickness and exhaustion is hitting me in this pregnancy! Feeling like a failure when it's so hard to get anything done! I've always just wanted to be a wife and a mom too❤
I’m not going through post partum but I totally understood and related to so much you said!! Especially the identity stuff!! Remembering that Gods got you in His hand can be so hard at times for some reason especially when people get you down! But you’ve got this and you’ll figure out how to balance it all! Praying for you as you sort it all out:) love you cuz!❤️
Amen!! "You Say" by Lauren Daigle came to my mind. Thanks for opening up.
Love to you ❤ I can identify with almost every feeling you described. You are not alone and you are doing amazing!
You’re good enough. So sorry your struggling like this. Will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Loved this video! It was uplifting actually and I think you’re an amazing mom! Sending love! 💕♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️💕❤️♥️💕💕♥️💕💕♥️❤️
Going through postpartum too, can totally relate. Thank you for ending with optimism, it really helped me to be reminded of how great His love is. And what a blessing it is to have little ones and a husband! Ive wanted this since I was a little girl too haha.
Praying for you and your family. May the God of peace be with you.
Transparency is a blessing ❤️ And you're absolutely right, your family, your baby, are infinitely more important than the internet, and internet friends. I am in no way saying you are struggling with this, but I had serious postpartum depression and anxiety after my 4th baby. My counselling at that time taught me so much about prioritizing. Investing in family, in the REAL world, that you can touch and feel and experience, is always the healthiest and most healing. I did not even use my phone at all during that time. No social media of any kind. The negativity that our minds have a way of picking up and feeding on is very unhealthy. Our hormonally influenced emotions postpartum are fragile. I don't know you, but feel a concern about the struggles you related. So I my bit of encouragement is to take care of your family and yourself. ❤️ May God bless you 🙏
The devil knows when and exactly how to hurt and hit us where it cuts the most. You are a very inspiring person. There will always be a few that for some reason will try to tear you down. When you start feeling down on yourself just remember that God made you in His image and he doesn't make less than. Love you sister
Prayers for you. God will see you through.
You are doing an amazing job and you are a godly example of a woman. You inspire more than you know. Keep doing what you’re doing ♥️
You are a great mom Kim! But I understand what you are going through.! I have 4 children my youngest is 5 months and I have went through similar things! I got on vitamins and it seems to help! Doterra has an awesome llv! Being a mom is the best thing in the world but it can be draining! You have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of others!❤️
Well, I want you to know that I have loved every video you put out and appreciate all the time you have invested in them. I think you are showing us all how to be a good mom, wife and christian. I enjoy all your content and posts! 💗
God bless you and your beautiful family. You are doing great. Your baby will thrive on all the love, hugs and kisses; not whether or not your house is Pinterest perfect. You are so sweet and I know your baby is doing great with a mom like you ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I saw the comments unfold when you posted that video and I KNEW it would be so discouraging for you. I said a prayer and will continue. I’m so sorry. I am proud of you for growing from this. You are correct. Your identity is in Christ alone amd not in your viewers’ opinions! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was such a relatable video! Thank you for sharing your heart and being so positive and kind. You are a joy to watch and I love your videos! But, you are right. UA-cam isn’t your priority these days. Enjoy your handsome son and these new days. We will look forward to the videos to come as you are ready. 😊
I struggle with what others think of me and I too think worse about myself than anyone else does.
It makes me cringe and second guess myself anytime I lose a follower, leaving me wondering what’s wrong with me. Then I have to remind myself that I could be the most amazing piece of cake in the world and there will still be someone out there who doesn’t like cake. Hah.
I am a mother of four (fourth baby 1 month old!) I couldn’t have started a UA-cam as a first time mom, but now as a “seasoned” mother I am able to find time to UA-cam AND be a decent wife and mother. I tend to record just everyday things that I will already be doing, and the kids are in a lot of the videos!
Watching your UA-cam this year encouraged me to start my own channel by the way.
Knowing you’re enough in the eyes of God is a very big deal, hold onto that and give yourself a ton of grace. Keep the videos coming when you feel up to it, and we will all be eager to watch! Praying for you, Kim!
Your so inspirational! Loved the video! As a Christian I understand what your going through, I go through things constantly. And the Devil knows how to make us doubt and believe it! We just gotta pray everyday!! And don’t worry about someone not liking how you do things.. just be yourself and you do you if they don’t like it they should just unsubscribe or quit watching the video! God bless.
Praying for you. That you will see God's love and grace so you can block out the devil's lies.
Hi Kim I know exactly what you're going through I am a mom of a 11 week old and I am struggling with the same feelings you are
You are a beautiful blessing in our lives.
How strong!! How brave! How beautiful! Thank you for sharing your real life moments. There are so many people that wish they could do what you just did. You’ve got this and remember no one has it figured out. We are all just trying. Xoxo
Hi Kim I know how you feel but just remember everyone has their own shoes right don't worry what other people saying about you they not in your shoes right. I'm sorry that you feel low to I'm always felt low to after having a baby it helps to visit friends more often maybe it can help you too
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing and being vulnerable with us. This was such a timely video for me. I have been struggling with insecurities and feeling like a failure too. I’m a college student right now, and I have been doubting myself and wondering if I’m really doing what God wants me to do with my life. Thank you for your encouragement!! It helps to hear from someone else dealing with similar things. Know that we are praying for you and that you don’t have to meet everyone’s expectations for you!! Live wholeheartedly for the Lord, first and foremost 💙
🤗 Hello Kim! I’m 67, I was where you are many years ago. You are experiencing feelings that most mothers do to one degree or another. You have a husband who is responsible, helpful, and supportive. You have a sweet little baby. Do the best you can everyday and that is all that is expected of you. Some days will be better than others. The Lord loves you and watches over you everyday, keep reminding yourself of that.
Make your videos when you can, we will watch them. Videos are not your main concern. Yes, you enjoy making them but don’t make them so important. Any of us who have been where you are now know it takes time to get the hang of being a new mother, we are not born with the knowledge of how it’s all supposed to be. Take care of yourself. I am praying for you. ❤️
You are an amazing young woman. You are correct that your identity is rock solid in the Lord. Hang in there, and I'm hopeful that you have time to share little glimpses of your beautiful life. But family is job #1! 🧡
God bless you. Your priorities are correct!
Kim I totally understand! When my babies were you sons age and little I stayed home and that was my job. Once they got to preschool age I started teaching preschool again at our church and they came with me. Now they are elementary age I am working only part time in their school. Never have I worked full time since my babies were born. We have been very blessed that my husband can provide for our family. He is a firefighter so he is gone so much as well so our consistency for our boys is me at home. Every stage I feel like you will question yourself and your worth- but like you said give it to Jesus. He will show you your worth and praise you for the job your doing right now as a wife and mom. You are enough! You are worthy! And you are doing an amazing job!
Kim- You have amazing talents. You brighten the world with love. I enjoy all your videos. Your cooking and gardening videos are the best. GOD sent you to remind us all how wonderfully made we are. GOD loves us… Thank you for being real. Cherish and absorb this time in your life because in a blink the children will be grown. Please know you have touched my life in a positive way.
Take the time, to enjoy every second, of your baby’s life!! The first year, goes by so very quickly! Breathe and take one step, at a time!! You’re doing awesome!
Will keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏🙏❤️❤️..
As long as you and your family are well and happy that’s all that matters..
