    I just discovered your channel tonight, blessed to hear such wisdom from you in motherly patience, obedience in children and strong willed children to watching your most recent videos. I have to say I'm a bag of emotions, saddened by your challenging year in 2019 and your miscarriage, to being so happy for you in your new marriage with your faith intact and a Godly husband at your side and new baby on the way.The Lord is so good. You have blessed me so much tonight dear sister. I'm so sorry for the losses you've experienced and at the same time encouraged to hear your story as it shows God's sovereignty and faithfulness to those who are called His. I pray this ministry blesses and encourages others as it has myself. Prayers to your family.

    I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby. I had a miscarriage around the exact same time as you. We found out the day before thanksgiving when I was 11 weeks that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. I have two healthy girls now so this was a shock and something I never expected, and like you said very traumatic. Hearing you’re pregnant gives me hope for another healthy pregnancy. I’m so sorry you guys have walked this. A miscarriage video would be really helpful just to hear your experience, you always bring hope and light to hard situations.

    Wow… thank you for sharing your story. 😌 I had 3 kids, no problem, then got pregnant with my 4th, but at 11 1/2 weeks I had a miscarriage (bleeding like you and all) and lost the baby a few days later. We then named that baby “Baby Hope”, living in hope that we’d have another baby. It was hard and surreal because after 3 (and in your case, 5) babies already, it’s so weird to experience a miscarriage… We did get pregnant again a few months later, named that baby “Baby Faith” (named for the faith in God that whatever happened was in His hands), and she was born exactly a year after the due date of “Baby Hope”. We named her Annabelle Faith. Another amazing thing that we found out at birth is that she has Down syndrome, and she is so wonderful. She’s now almost 5 and we all love her so much!
    That would have been such an emotional ultra sound for you… I wish you all the best in your pregnancy and in the birth of your baby boy! ❤️

    I suffered 2 miscarriages in a span of 6 months. It's so hard. Mostly it created this doubt in my heart and mind in regards to my faith. Why would God allow this to happen? But everything happens when HE'S ready. We were blessed with a healthy baby girl the following year.
    Congratulations to both of you! It's wonderful to see you so happy Shirley. Your homeschool videos are what brought me to your channel but now I'm excited to see your love story unfold.
