    We need more Andy's!!! I wish I was rich, I would build a bunch of tiny homes on a nice plot of land and make living comfortable for people who cannot afford to buy a house or pay rent who work so hard only to have so little. We need more affordable housing options!

    When she asked why did God allow bad things to happen to her when she didn’t do anything I really felt that. I could feel her pain and I’ve been there and I’m still going through that. I’m glad she found that light at the end of the tunnel. I hope I find it too.

    I hope you are teaching these young families and the children what a strong family is. GOD and Family are key. Strong foundations. These kids need to know that a strong family with a loving father and mother are just as important in your life as water and food. Please teach these children how to become loving father and mothers.

    I understand Maritza's pain. My mother had sought out an abortion and tried to miscarry me. She wanted nothing to do with me growing up as I raised myself. Her way to hit me was throw me on the floor, straddle me with her legs and pound me with her fists or a board on my head until I oftentimes would be knocked out. She did this toward me up through 19 years old. July 2018, I was diagnosed with Acquired Cerebral Palsy from Traumatic Brain Injury of my brain and Dr. Raino shared that I have the brain of a professional boxer as every inch of my brain had scar tissue that had bled out. When he heard my story (Jane) he started to cry and asked to hold me as he cried. My father molested me as a child growing up. My only brother not only molested me but raped me at the age of 18 years old whereas I became pregnant (but miscarried later) one week after he came back from out of the Vietnam War. I then married a man who beat me continually. And my boyfriend was part of the BIKER GANG called 'SONS OF SILENCE' and that was worse upon worse as I became their 'DRUG RUNNER' to the TRUCK STOPS. I then went into a time of prostitution to gain one morsel to be loved even by a stranger at least one morsel. 4 weeks upon receiving JESUS as my LORD - that boyfriend was busted with everyone inside his Rx House - and sentenced to 20 plus years of hard prison. GOD rescued me out... I actually turned myself in as 'felt guilty' but told POLICE that I now knew JESUS and everything had changed for me. I gave them permission to search my car. They searched. They said to me 'Jane we have no evidence on you, You are FREE'. The one police officer was a 'Christian' and his words to me 'JESUS has set you FREE JANE, walk in that freedom'.
    -
    I understand the pain.
    GOD does NOT allow bad things to happen to us - NEVER. NOT who GOD is or ever will be. We have an enemy - his name is Satan and the demonic realms of hell itself who are out to rob, steal, kill and destroy us. John 3:16 GOD so loved this world that HE gave us HIS ONLY SON JESUS, that no one PERISH but ALL come to know and have ETERNAL LIFE - This is the core heart of GOD...
    I had to work through this pain for years. But realized those things done toward us are NEVER wanted, created, or GOD'S HEART at all. It is human beings turned over to SIN that have taken part to become part of the demonic realms of hell forces that are who comes against us to rob, steal, kill and destroy.
    -
    I am a CALLED, CHOSEN, PRINCESS of ALMIGHTY ABBA FATHER GOD HIMSELF
    Who wants to RESTORE what the enemy stole and took from me.
    And HE has and continues to do today.
    -
    October 9, 1977 - I became BORN-AGAIN in CHRIST JESUS.
    October 31, 1977 - walked through the doors of a Rescue Mission and a man opened the doors to me that evening to help me and he put me under his wings to teach me the things of God's love, protection, and WORD
    December 26, 1977 - in the Rescue Mission Chapel - that man who opened the doors to the RESCUE MISSION to me that night to help me - He asked me to become HIS WIFE.
    February 18, 1978 - we married in Jesus Christ
    and served our GOD in GOD'S CALL upon us in Rescue Mission WORK for 38 years.
    Home Sweet Home Rescue Mission; Albuquerque (New Mexico) Rescue Mission as Mark served as Executive Director and I, wife, Jane, I served to become employed as 'fill in the gap' for whatever needed to be done and accomplished; and finally Peoria Rescue Mission.
    Attending and sent by GOD to Christ for the Nations Bible College, Dallas Texas; and then once again sent by GOD to attend and graduate from Regent University (700 Club/CBN Christian Broadcasting Network) with a MA Communications Degree...
    -
    ALL THINGS became NEW - ALL THINGS
    GOD RESTORED on and above what I would have only imagined in HIM DOING...
    GOD IS GOOD... ONLY GOOD

    This is of great inspiration. I commend her for being a great mom to her children. However, having children while impoverished is a sure way to stay in poverty. This is the truth and can’t be overlooked. Yes she has the kids now but if she didn’t have the kids she likely would have been able to work her way out of her situation given that she doesn’t seem to have substance abuse issues or possible mental illness. The burden (and blessing- I get it!) of having children while a teenager and poor aggravates the situation to another level. This is not an attack on her or any others, we just seem to celebrate this and it really keeps communities impoverished and continues the cycle for their children.

      @YeshuaKingMessiah 4 роки тому +3

      I dont see a celebration of out of wedlock children. I see a women who was in an abusive relationship possibly, and left. Had she not had kids young and instead had gotten a skill, all the better. The problem is ONE, not married and TWO, her youth. Then THREE, no skill set.
