Oh my Lord this is my story completely. I was in the hospital bed crying on the phone with the bank cancelling cards as I was having our third child and my ex husband was out doing drugs. He left me at the hospital to do drugs. Found you through Jamie's Journey and so glad I did. Thank you thank you thank you.
I'm just crying watching this. I went through a lot of the same things when I was in school. My mom was a drug addict and an alcoholic. We were very poor, homeless at one point. My mom was basically single because my Dad was in prison. I'm so glad that God got a hold of me and made me want something different for my life. And I'm just trying to be the best Mom I can be to my 5 babies. Bless your heart Lynn.❤
Oh Lynn as a teacher I am so sorry that you had to go through these things as a child. I am actually tearing up for you. You are such a strong faithful woman. God bless you and thanks for sharing your story.
Hard doesn’t mean impossible. You’re amazing, I’m so thankful that you are so open. God will most definitely use your story for his glory. Love you so much!
Yes! Love story time! Please continue your story of your life. You have learned to do so much and look where you are now. What a testament to what God can do. I believe he gave you The strength to make this video. You are touching lives Lynn. Please know that you are a loving and beautiful person. You have shown how to forgive but also how to take your life back. You found out what you didn’t want in a husband. This has God’s Grace all over it! Sending you hugs and love!
You are so brave! My heart was hurting for you as you talked about life as a child. Its ok to be nervous to tell your story but remember that you overcame so many things that alot of people are afraid to face. Stand tall and strong and remember how blessed you are today. May god use your testimony as a light for others. 😘
I can't believe how much I can relate to your story. I have seriously cried while watching this because I thought it was just me. I struggled so much as a single mom. In and out of 2 bad relationships and thinking I'd never see my life get better. Then 7 years ago I met my husband and I now have a much better life for my kids and myself. One day I hope to have the courage to tell my story so another mom doesn't feel she's alone in her struggle. Thank you Lynn, you are proof that there is light and the end of the tunnel
I’ve never watched or seen your videos, until yesterday. You came up on my recommended and I watched yours and your husbands testimony about your marriage. God has really changed your life. You seem like such an amazing person. I’ve enjoyed listening to your older videos and plan to catch up on all of them ❤️
I’ve been watching your channel since early 2020, so this is the first time I’m seeing this. I have always liked you Lynn, but now I feel like we must be kindred spirits. I remember having similar experiences in my childhood and I just wanted to tell you what a beautiful person that I think you are. You are awesome and brave and I really appreciate your candor. Bless your heart. God Bless and keep you, Lynn. Aren’t we so blessed for what God can redeem. Only He knows how much He’s redeemed in my world. If we were perfect, we wouldn’t have need of a Savior and I couldn’t imagine my life without Him. 🙏🏻😁💕Much love to you and your family.
This breaks my heart!! As a child going through so much not knowing what is going on. Thank you for sharing, this couldn’t have been easy to talk about. 💖😊
We all deal with things a little longer than we should don’t be ashamed of that! Be proud because you saw the wrong in it and made changes in your life to be a better person, wife, and mother!! Not everyone has had an amazing “normal” upbringing and life and for those of us who didn’t it’s nice to know you’re not alone. Thank you for sharing! 💖
You are right about that. I think most of us have a story. I think those stories are meant to be shared to help others. Thank you so much for your sweet words and encouragement.
Thanks for sharing this story! We all have things we regret but those things make us who we are today! I would love to hear your story about when you came to know the Lord.😊
I grew up always “knowingly Jesus. He was who He was like the sky was blue. I accepted Him in my heart as a young child, but as a teenager I drifted away. I started really making changes in my life right before I met Chris. I am so flawed and want to do better with my relationship with Him.
What a story, Lynn! Heart breaking, powerful, interesting... The story about the teacher calling you stupid broke my heart. I had a teacher in highschool who was mean to everyone who didn't instantly get what she was teaching. God only knows what made her choose this job in the first place. She was the meanest teacher I met, but she was an angel to the parents so not everyone believed us, unfortunately. You are a beautiful person, inside and outside! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you'll do more story time videos.
Hello. I'm Andy. Maybe your first male subscriber. LOL. I wafch a lot of different channels. I like tjisnone because it seems more real life than the others.
You are brave to share your story, but I know that if the Lord lead you to do it, that it will be a blessing to someone that needed to hear it. I love hearing stories of how God takes someone in their mess and shows them how faithful He really is. Love you, sweet friend. 💕
God was always there! I felt His presence in your life as you told your story! As Joni Eareckson Tada once said “God allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves”! I see that in your story as I see the beautiful, strong and grace filled woman you are! You and I have a very similar childhood! We made it, by His grace! Love watching your videos and will continue as you truly inspire me!
I admire how brave you were to tell your story. I’m so sorry you went through that but you came out a stronger person. You persevered. You have two beautiful children that came out of that situation. That is the bright side. I’m so glad your life is so different now. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I’ve had to watch this video in pieces over the last few days, it makes me so emotional. I can relate to so many of these stories. You are not alone 💜 thank you for sharing your story
God bless your heart soul and family Lynn. You are such a courageous woman. Please know that by sharing your story you give reason to so many people to sustain while facing their challenges. Please know that everyone who watches this will definitely relate in one way or another. As I started watching the video I thought it would be fun folding my own laundry watching this chitchat but as I watched it took a totally different perspective. Just remember that you are one unique lady that sparks hope, strength and a lot of faith 💜💜💜
Hi Lynn We have a very similar past but also different. Your abuse came from your husband and mine came from my father. Sometimes not having a dad in your life can be a good thing. I and you have overcame so many horrible things but I will tell that it only makes us stronger and more loving and compassionate to others. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life. A lot of us watch RU-vidrs and think their lives our perfect. I pray continued strength and happiness for you ❤️ Hugs Stacy
Lynn, such a moving & profound story! You are transparently REAL and inspiring! That is why I appreciate you & your channel sooo much! XOXO Hugs- Missi
@@mrslynnwhite You are so welcome! I think it took some really Big Ba*** for you top open up and speak so candidly on your channel about everything... very courageous!
Discalcula.....thank goodness I watched this. I really think I have this! I’ve been telling my husband since we met I always get numbers mixed up. Like dyslexia but with numbers! Wow! I thought it was just me.
So inspirational! You so deserve all the good things in life 💐So open and down to earth❤️. I am so happy to have you in my You tube life xx. Sending love, hugs and blessings xxx🇬🇧xxx
Loved this video Lynn. Really really enjoyed this one xx So so much resignated with my own childhood. It was like you were talking about me. Thankyou so much for sharing.
You are so welcome. It is a wonder how many of us get out of childhood. It can be rough, but knowing how I have grown and learned to appreciate my circumstances is so important.
Omg! I’ve got the math thing too!!! Wasn’t diagnosed until I turned up in a ‘Math Anxiety ‘ workshop in college! I carried two calculators with me everywhere I went! 😳. I wonder if the way we’re wired has something to do with our general anxiety issues?? Sometimes I think it’s a wonder a lot of us survived our younger years, and we were blessed to learn from our mistakes and triumph in the end. PTSD maybe?? It’s very possible... Thank you for sharing! We are all better off that you made it through! Love you!! ♥️🐾
Thanks for sharing your story. Very brave and vulnerable. Reminds me of Romans 8:28... We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.
I didn't realize that you had a blended family... That was cool to know. I never have met my dad, and have had no positive male models ever... Which then resulted in so many of my bad choices in relationships. Thanks for sharing Lynn... I learned through this video that we are very similar. I had not heard about this learning disorder before, but appreciate you educating me on it. I'm so sorry you went through teachers abusing you mentally like that... Broke my heart listening to that. You are such a beautiful person... I am so proud of how you have overcome so many difficult situations. I have seen your compassion and empathy displayed very thoroughly in your videos since I started watching you. You are so transparent and I know this wasn't easy for you at all. Hearing about you losing a baby made me cry, but through listening further am so glad that you were eventually able to live the great life you deserved. You are an amazing mom and setting much better examples for your children now. XOXO... Keep being inspiring & motivating. Much love💜
This is so incredibly heartfelt and sweet. Comments like these make my heart so happy. I am so thankful you could relate. I am glad I am able to take the past and grow. I do not hold bitterness. I am thankful for my mom and the challenges we faced, because I am able to share my story and hopefully encourage someone else. Hugs to you!!
@@mrslynnwhite I believe when God prompts us to share ourselves,he will only use it for good. I believe you helped a few people in sharing. People need to believe in stories of redemption because God is that big!!
Thank you for sharing your story, it brings hope to others to know that God cares about each one so much. Did you become a Christian before you & Chris married?
That is so right. It doesn't matter if we do silly things and turn our backs, He is there- waiting. I want to say I have always been. I grew up in a christian home, but we did not go to church consistently My mawmaw was very influential in that part of my life. I was saved at 11. I have always believed in Christ. It was a real to me like the sky is blue. But, I would say my relationship really got deep after my divorce. I learned to truly reply on Him. Then, Chris walked into my life.
I can relate I went through something like that but I was 14 dated a bad boy too I think has to do with not having my parents together dad wasn’t around a lot
I'm so sad for the little girl you were and want to give her a hug and tell her everything is going to be okay but I am so happy for the person you are today. I agree, everything we go through in life, the good and bad, make us who we are. You could have continued going down a very dark road easily but you chose the harder road and pulled yourself into the light. My sister, unfortunately, chose the darker road. She was in an abusive marriage with two little boys and to escape she chose methamphetamines. Her husband divorced her after she was completely hooked on it and took my nephews away from her. She is a shadow of her former self. She has so much brain damage from the drugs that she can't take care of herself and has to live with our parents. She walks around wearing my sister's face, but honestly, we only see a very small glimpse of the person she was before the drugs. Her oldest son grew up and did the same things that my sister did. Fortunately, he seems to have now turned his life around and is married and has a 2 year old daughter. Her youngest son doesn't have anything to do with her and hasn't been in contact with her or the rest of our family for the last 6 years. I am so glad that you made the decision you did for yourself and for your children. You are so much stronger than you realize to be able to do what you did. I have seen the darker road and believe me, it does not lead to where anybody should ever want to go. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Staci Romero This breaks my heart. My kid’s father still chooses that life and I hate it for all. Crazy, I had a dream where my adult self was telling my younger self “it’s going to be ok.” I weeped. I cant even talk about it without crying.
I'm so sorry that your ex hasn't been able to turn his life around, if not for himself at least for his children. Drugs are such horrible things!! They tear so many lives apart. I think that in your dream your adult self now is trying to give the little girl still inside of you a hug and tell her that even though she went through all of those horrible things she came out on the other side to become this amazing and beautiful person.
