My RU-vid channel is geared toward people going through a life altering experience. If you want someone to walk you through your journey, you've come to the right place. Some of my videos are strictly speaking on things I experienced during trauma and how I've been healing. Other videos are based on Christian principles that have helped me feel content and happy with my life. I want my audience to feel safe on my channel, and if that means you only watch the videos that are not based around God because you are an unbeliever and you need help with trauma, I appreciate you still being here because my regular videos WILL HELP, I never want to hurt. If you're here only to watch the videos circling around faith and biblical scripture, thank you for supporting my channel. I am a Godly woman on the pursuit of Gods will for my life.
Through the elders of my church and family, I have accepted public speaking to be part of my life.
Im sorry that you went through that. I was married for 16 years before i realized how toxic she was. I never had anyone in my life growing up who introduced me to religion. I really only started reading the bible about a 2 years ago after my divorce. I know now that my divorce was apart of gods plan. I really glad to see you doing this. You were always a great person growing up.
I’m really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life takes a wild turn. I’m really happy you’re finding your footing, we all are, but having God makes it easier knowing we may suffer here on earth but we are never alone
Yes I've been there. Actually there now in life. Long story I won't bore you with but I appreciate that your doing something like this. You were always an incredible person.
Jeri! You were right! Your podcast was amazing! I listened to this episode on my way home from work. Your words of wisdom were exactly what I needed. Talk about God's timing 🙏🏻
Kelly thank you, you are so kind. We’re so much stronger together, I’m glad I get to see you often and will get to continue to build a friendship. You sharpen me so much as a Christian as well in the little time we’ve gotten to know each other! Iron sharpens iron ✝️💪
Thank you! I needed to get back into this book. I usually come back to it in fragments for studies but re-reading (listening) to ALL of James is essential for newcomers, long time Christians, teachers, and those that are hanging on by a thread.
Of course, I love to listen to the Bible sometimes when I clean my house, fold my clothes or sleep. It’s a good way to learn principle teachings of a book as a whole! I’m so glad you like enjoyed it!
I’m so glad it does and I never would have found that without seeing others set the example of it. Joy is the perfect word, it’s so refreshing for the soul! Thank you for your support
Thanks so much for sharing Jeri! I'm surprised i didn't find peter that relatable earlier. I am glad we have a Lord that sent His son to restore fools like me. My mind likes to race with anxiety but i pray to still still and listen. Have to put more trust in God and always give thanks! Thanks God for the message you placed on Jeri's heart and having me be still at this moment to listen! I appreciate you posting studies and testimonies on your channel! Keep on rockin for Jesus!
Oh Patrick you’re right on that, we all need restoration that is for sure- I got some foolishness I need cleaned up also but day by day He’s doing that in our heart! Luckily we’re all on this journey together as a family in Christ! Thank you so much for your support and sharing. I appreciate your prayer and kind words
Glad the book helped you! I went through a divorce last February, unexpected but God definitely worked it all out for the good and helped launch me into an even better version of myself. I pray 2024 is your best year yet, God bless
Yes! I agree, I am a firm believer that we can take those unexpected turns and ultimately find the blessing. Divorce is hard, mine was in 2013 and I’m still finding out things about myself and I can see how it hurt my marriage, including the defensiveness I spoke on in the book review. Thank you for your prayers, I pray yours is as well!!
@@jerijanuary Watched a couple of your videos and really like what you have to say! As a fellow RU-vidr and Christian, just wanted to give you one tip while your channel is still small. I don’t recommend uploading RU-vid shorts to your channel as it can really negatively impact your long form video views in the long run. I could go deep into explaining how, but this would be a long comment. If you want to create RU-vid shorts, highly recommend starting a separate channel just for those and keeping them off this channel. I learned the hard way and watched it really mess up other people’s channels I know, so figured I’d mention that as I like to see Christian RU-vidrs do well. Next stop 1000 subs, God bless!
Thank you so much for the honesty, I will trust your advice! I’ve only uploaded one so that is good to know straight away. Good to hear from a fellow RU-vidr, I will check out your channel and will probably learn a some things just from your postings. Also maybe learn a thing or two about camping while I’m at it! Blessings
Thank you for this message ❤ please pray for me, still in the process of healing trauma with a strong tendency to isolate. Need God’s strength and guidance to get connected here in my new state. Praying for your protection and peace as well, many blessings! 💫🤍🕊️
I will absolutely pray for you. I’m very much still healing as well, the world is so broken 😢 isolation is a hard cycle to break out of, I have a video named “When Life Seems Hopeless | How Support Groups Help” (it’s one of my older ones) The video breaks down what’s happening in isolation and how you can take steps to get out of the cycle! One day at a time, we got this ❤ 🙏 Blessings Tammy!
You are so welcome. The battle may last longer than we want it to but keep attacking- I know I need to remind myself of this too when I’m in a hard season, God is with us!
Thank you Patrick! I spent a great amount of my time trying to understand the categories of spiritual gifts and I know I’m still learning about them all. Thankfully God wants to be known and is a revealer!! There are so many wonderful sermons out there explaining the gifts we receive as Gods children 🙏🙏🙏 I appreciate you watching!
Yes!! Something else I heard in a sermon once was that- the Bible had 40 writers, 66 books but only one author- I am a sucker for those perspectives! Really reminds you of what scripture truly is at its core and that it’s very alive today!
There is only hope and purpose found in Jesus Christ. I tried every other way, literally everything, there is no other way to finding your purpose than to be born again. It is not about church or religion, it is simply having a personal encounter and relationship with Jesus Christ and being born again. Nothing else will ever fulfill that desire in your heart to find out who you are. I promise. God bless you.
You are not alone! Keep leaning into Jesus, give Him your heart, He will change your desires to align with His 💕 sometimes it’s a continuous surrender and that can be part of the process depending on what you need to let go of, as long as you continue to pray without ceasing, and trust that God will show up! Thank you for your support and watching!! 🤍
In my line of work, I see with regular frequency teenagers who self-harm, cut, have anxiety, and have depression. This have helped me gain more understanding of them. I am going to bookmark this and listen once again to gain some more ideas on how to help them. Ultimately, however, what they need is to have Christ as Savior.
Thank you for watching. If you have more questions please feel free to email me, it should be in the description. I do very much agree, I was lucky enough to be saved and transformed into a Christian and I deal with these thoughts entirely different now. I did make a Christian version of this which I will attach (so if you’re helping any Christian teens this could be useful also.) I know when I was in this period of my life I needed immediate relief and wasn’t ready to accept God. I’m hoping that if anyone finds my page who deals with these kinds of thoughts and self harm they will watch my other videos as well and may open their life to Christ. This is also why I offer the sinners prayer at the end of this video ❤️ again, if you have any questions feel free to email me I am more than willing to help in anyway I can. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LJFHaIJXrCE.html
Thanks for doing these videos. I hope eventually your channel grows as I think many others can benefit. If I do come across questions, I’ll email. There’s a continuing crisis among young people. I want to say it’s behavioral and or psychological but it certainly reflects the need for a true spiritual life. More immediately, we can try to support them and perhaps the Spirit will eventually open their hearts to Christ.
@@techrider2088 My prayers are with you that God would give you the words to speak to those hurting, you're doing good things and God will use you wisely! For myself, I don't have the desire to self harm any longer and I was able to break the behavior by having a consistent determination to say no to it but one thing I didn't include is someone I loved dearly made me promise not to do it anymore. Sometimes all we can do is look someone directly in the eye and tell them they are worth more and that we care, I needed to know someone saw me in the level of pain I was in mentally, and my friend did. At the time it was very psychological, you're absolutely right because to me it was the thoughts that were getting me. I couldn't say no to giving into the thoughts and doing the comfort behavior attached to the thought, however, I now realize that was the enemy attacking and he had me right where he wanted me. I never thought I would walk back to faith, but God was patient and persistent and I know He will be with those hurting kids also even if they don't recognize His work right now.
Thanks for sharing i wish my daughter was here to listen to this because she has an addiction 😢we have tried everything to make her better but nothing seems to work. I’m scared 😟 because I know my husband and I will be either getting that phone call or the knock on the door as I’m typing this sentence I’m crying 😭 and sobbing because I don’t think she’s going to make it. She has lost all sense of reality. We put her in at least 4 or 5 rehab’s already and as soon as she’s ready to leave she’s on the phone with her connection. 😢 You look beautiful, and one day at a time. It works if you work it. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Thank you for sharing in NA we hug. so here’s a big one big hug!! 🤗🫂💜
Thank you for sharing about your daughter, it's so hard to know what to do or say to help, especially when she has to make the choice to want to stay sober. I will pray that God sends people in her life to help her take a look at life from a different perspective. Don't give up hope, and one day at a time like you said🙏
I was in active addiction for 12 years with a narcissistic abuser boyfriend who controlled my money car life. He got me addicted on purpose to fund his addiction to opiates too. I finally quit after losing everything including my dad in 2018 I disassociated for years laid in bed thought about death daily. Lost everything everybody finally in 2020 ran out of money energy I quit drugs completely. Now I'm employed full-time at Walmart and looking for healing videos I want to help others who were lost like I was 💜 thx for your channel
Thank you so much for sharing this! Abuse from others/partners is soooo common in addiction and more people need to know this, like you weren't just dealing with addiction you were also dealing with abuse and the loss of your dad on top of that and that's truly heartbreaking to hear😥. The fact that you were able to get out after TWELVE years, I can't even imagine how hard that was but you freaking did it and that is a POWERFUL testimony! Just by sharing this post you are helping others, even me just by relating to the disassociation because that's how I felt too laying in bed. You never know who is reading your comment and associating with you. Keep sharing your story with others, you will help many even if you're just planting a seed or making them feel not so alone in their journey 💜
