Q&A Plus a favorite of ours right now! 

The way you look at your husband is breath taking!!! I wont settle till I find me a man that I look at him the way you do!!

Solo's accent is melodic.

Best potty training advice given to me: patience and prayer. And the child has to be able to say "yes" "no" "gotta go"

Oh I LOVE Left to Tell, it is life changing. I think of her often, and got to meet her 14 years ago at a conference. She is a force. I hope others here will consider reading this book. It is hard material but it is a powerful example of Jesus and Gods ultimate power and love to hold us, sustain us and never leave us. I hope it is a movie someday, if not already.

Rhonda, my heart just broke when I heard Sarah read that your husband passed away. I am so incredibly sorry and will keeps you and your twins in my prayers.

Oh how wonderful, three years ago I went to a convention where Immaculee - the author of that book - spoke. I bought her book and read it in a day. She brought me to tears and was just a moving woman. God is amazing. I was just trying to remember her name and book two days ago and I could NOT remember it. Then I turn this on and you guys were reading it.

My motto has always been "pay yourself first". Set your monthly goal and have your bank transfer the amount every month to a savings account,, easy when just after you get paid. You will adjust to the lower available funds quickly. But when we wait to see if we have it to save when all else is done?? You never will ! Pay yourself 1st!!

Reading with your kids out loud or even to your husband/wife - out loud. It's almost a lost art. How powerful is the human voice. It doesn't have to be a serious book (though that's a great way to have family discussion of tough subjects), it can just be a funny book and then you share joy together.

I’ve worked in admin in higher Ed for over a decade and you can appeal the $600 with the bursar’s office. There are also hardship grants, talk to financial aid please🙏

These are two great and wise people.

I would donate some money for the lady to pay for her $600 for school, and she should definitely qualify for FAFSA! I would be happy to show her how to apply for FAFSA or even help her find different scholarships.

Your family is so sweet im amazed every time I watch your videos how your older girls take care of the little ones like a little momma so sweet. Im.a nurse too many many years i was an er nurse over 25 years and worked all areas now a hospice nurse past 14 years which I love 💘 take care of your beautiful family your husband solo is so patient and helpful and is sweet to all . It's so refreshing to have a great husband you both seem so sweet.

I’ve read English Christian books out loud to my Japanese husband. We went through a whole range of emotions together! Best of all, we grew mature in the Lord and came more together!

Hi Sara and solo .I really love the way u tackle the questions I would like to add to the single lady who is pursuing nursing degree to try and get to nursing aid coz it pays 15$ an hour.I am a single mom too in nursing school and I would like to assure her it's much better

Amen to Left to Tell - amazing story, amazing courage, and heart wrenching that these things happen.

Amisha, I've been exactly in your spot...single mom, had to basically restart nursing school because of health issues my child had. Praying for you that you can work something out, don't get discouraged, it will be worth it!

The BEST bonding experience for us is reading with my son. We look forward to it every day. He's 14 and just loves it. It really gets us talking and it is such a blessing.

Great video! So many people in such difficult circumstances. I wish everyone the best! Prayers up for all!

Dinner table is where we had lots of conversations! Everyone was there and shared their thoughts and ideas!

Praying for everyone struggling yet still fighting. Do not lose hope❤

I also choked up when I read "Left to tell" Thank you for the great content. Lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Solo is ABSOLUTELY correct. When we decided to buy our 1st house we set the whole family down and had a a meeting. We all agreed that extras are out for a year in order to save for the house. Movies, fast food, etc. Remember your 1st home won't look like a HGTV house, those people typically are couple with years in their careers, lots don't have kids, and/or their 2nd home. There are free programs that can tell you what you can afford. Knowing your debt to income ratio is KEY! Because it's a time waster to look at a $250,000 when you can comfortably only afford a $175,000 house. Stay in faith. Stay in prayer.

My grandmother had a backyard Bible study during summer months.

Read that book a few years ago and some parts have really stuck with me through the years. Such a touching story.

Ah! Little Visits with God! What a great reminder! My mom read that book to me! Over 55 years ago!

How awesome that you read as a family! Our children are 5 and 6 so we are reading the Boxcar Children series. They love it!

For lady wanting to finish school. Some factories offer weekend shifts 36hrs paid for 40hrs. Pay is usually much higher. & pay for schooling

Solo loved how you said, "you've got this girl." So positive and true.

So sorry for your loss as well.

I agree. Left to tell is a great book!

Hey, im in South Africa and its 15H41 in the afternoon... Love you guys...

True life stories have another energy.. Also movies from real life.. But reading is another experience Moments. Well done.. Good example 💌🥰

My son is 14. I've been reading to him since birth. Don't plan to quit any time soon. It's such a special time. :)

I love it wen little kids play wiv books. I like how ur encouraging their own relationships with God!!!

I read Left to Tell over 15 years ago. Amazing story!!

I love the analogy you gave about not giving kids a bigger suitcase than they can carry, and trying to just answer the question they are asking! One certainty with kids everywhere is that if they don't feel satisfied with the answer they received they will ask follow up questions! so answer the question and allow them to ask more if needed, which helps create great dialogues with your kids and see what they are thinking about rather than what you think they want to know. If I could add onto the person's question about how to save money without cutting back, I'd say you guys do some great things like shopping consignment for clothes, stocking up when there are. sales, and doing pantry clean outs from time to time- all of those things are great ideas that people may not consider as big savings, but they can really make a difference! thanks for all the great advice, cheers from Canada!

I would encourage your first viewer question to look up Dave Ramsey’s baby steps for financial information.

Love the family read aloud idea!❤️❤️❤️ Great discussion and prayer opportunity.

Love your Q and A videos. Thanks so much for sharing. Prayers and blessings 🙏❤🙏❤

Wow that's a good idea. I tell my son to read but as far as us reading together, I've never tried that with him as a teen. I'm bout to look for a book tonight!

I went to Rwanda to help train with an NGO about a decade ago. Such a beautiful country and the people are so resilient

My daughter who is 30 still likes me to read to her!

We have utilised so many of your money saving ideas over the years. In Australia at least, other things to consider are checking your electricity and gas plans. So often you can move to a cheaper plan and save many dollars over the year. Also rethink your phone and internet plan. Food shopping with a list and a menu plan always helps keep costs down. Like you, we never had any debt other that our mortgage. Any purchases put on a credit card were always paid off at the end of the month so as not to incur interest charges. We simply went without things, but our family were always fed, clothed and warm....and very happy. Now they are happy, loving and compassionate adults. Love listening to your ideas on love, life and human interactions.

Rhonda, praying for you honey. How incredibly hard to go through that. ❤️

I read that book a couple years ago. I loved it. Really opened my eyes to what was going on there 😥

My daughter read that in high school and the author came to their school!!!! It was so special.

I’ve read that!! Absolutely incredible book. So heartbreaking and thought provoking.

Such a good conversation!!

Hey Sarah. Hey Solo. Solo. That goatee is really flattering-Keep it. Great finance advise and yet another informative QnA. Love when you do that tag team QnAs.

My mom turned me on to that book years ago. It’s definitely a tear jerker. Wasn’t she a convert to the Catholic faith? I know you guys run your own church but I think you would be such a profound blessing if you converted too. I have feel we share a lot of the same beliefs already.

Great discussion as always!!

I just finished reading "left to tell" thanks for suggesting it, such a beautiful story but also very tragic...

Read that book a couple years ago.....amazing!

'Left to Tell' is a good story to discuss.

Left To Tell has a prominent place on my bookshelf. Best book ever!!!!!

I’m currently on my third book about the Rwandan & Burundian genocide so this is amazing timing for me. I didn’t think I could read another as it’s such a heavy topic, but I’ll definitely need to read this one based on your recommendation. Thanks so much. I also recommend the book called ‘Preaching from the Grave’- incredible story!! Xx

One of my besties escaped Rwanda to Kenya. They went to Swaziland to a refugee camp. There they met missionaries from my church. My church sponsored them to come to Canada. We bonded right away, and are still close 20+ years later. 💕🙏🏻 for Rhonda with loss of hubby and lil ones.

Thank you so much for the bookI bought it the story is amazing bless you and your family

For Rhonda...God bless you honey ❤️ I have twins too. Mine are 7 now. I used two potty chairs in the bathroom and I just took them in when I had to go and we all just sat down on our potties until they got the hang of it. Hang in there honey. I know that it can be overwhelming at times when they are little, but they grow up in the blink of an eye. Really try to enjoy as much as you can ❤️ Sending love and prayers 🙏

You two are so incredibly kind and genuine. I love watching your videos! I’ve learned so much from you 🙌🏼❤️

Hmmm my comment didn’t post. I love your vlogs, I get up at 5 am here in CA just to watch! Thank you for sharing your family and insight!!!

I read “Left to Tell” … I can also recommend it.😀

Thanks for the book recommendation, "Left To Tell". I will definitely read this.

I read Left to Tell and enjoyed it as well.

"Left to tell" I read it twice powerful!

I have always read outloud to children. My children are 32years - 10 years and still love to be read to.

My response is for Tristan regarding saving. When our children were young and would receive money as a gift, we would put it into a savings account. Then we would give them the dollar amount of their age so they could spend a little. So if my son received $20 for his fifth birthday, he would put $15 in the bank and had $5 to spend. Also, when they were little we paid the tax for them. So if he picked out a toy that cost $4.99, he'd give us the $5 and we'd pay the tax. However, as they got older we taught them about tax and they'd have to pay the full cost of their purchases. They really learned the value of money when they were using their own cash. Thought this idea might help your family start saving here and there. It really adds up over time.

I just ordered the tattooist of Auschwitz from Amazon and I can't wait to get it but I'll look for the one you mentioned also cause I too love true stories in both books and movies!!

My daughter lost her husband at 32. She had 3 children 4,6 & 8. She was able to collect benefits for the 3 children .He had no life insurance. Her husband paid for these benefits with taxes. It’s worth checking into.

Thank you for your words today. I find your videos so energising and uplifting! I am excited to get the kids round the table for some good chats!

Wise words...we have had no debt for years except an occasional large medical bill we have to pay down. It is so freeing. I encourage my kods to avoid it as they grow up. Debt takes away choices for your life.

I will have to check that out. I watched the movie about there and how one hotel owner was trying to keep his guests alive.

Absolutely love these chats! You have such a wholesome channel. Thank you for what you do to share such light and positivity to the world!

Went to Audible and purchased the book as soon as you showed it. Thank you for the suggestion. I love real life stories of survival through horrible times. Jehovah Jireh!

I will say this, that school should have WAIVED that fee for her considering the circumstances. I wonder if there's a loophole with being hospitalized for withdrawing.

Good morning from Oklahoma!

This is off topic, but oh my goodness!!! I just seen the weather for y’all and it’s supposed to get -22 there next week. I’m in Pensacola Florida. We were supposed to get cold and ice from it too but now it’s saying we ain’t. I’ve never seen snow. Hope y’all stay safe and warm!

I grew up with "Little Visits with God" I remember thinking very fondly. :)

I would like to bless Nesha with some money to help her pay off her school debt. I have been in that situation befofe and I know the feeling. Please reply with a way to send her something. Thank you.

I think an important item to check into if you are not married “legally “. I learned that my Mum was unable to collect survivor benefits because they didn’t register their common law relationship with their state. Had they registered things would be different. Thankfully, this was not a huge issue for her but it sure would be helpful to people with less work experience and small children.

That 'suitcase' answer is from Corrie Ten Boom's books...her father was such a wise man.

I had to read that for my early college years, years ago. It was a good book.

I read that book a few years ago. It was one of those tear jerkers for sure.

I love that book! I have met the author a few times and she is the sweetest! You should check out her other books. Equally amazing. 📚☺️

Absolutely look into hospitals that offer to pay for nursing school tuition!! My husband went through nursing school tuition free by committing to work for a hospital after graduation. Also, CNAs where I work start off at $13-14 at least! Worth the single mom to look in to!

Love your Q&A’s. Here’s a question, how do you keep up with laundry for 12 people?!?!!!!

I am a CNA and where I live they do have places that will pay for your schooling and I am through an agency and it really depends on where you go but you can make up to $20 an hour.

Love your channel

I am so glad that I ran across your videos. The light just shines from your faces. Love the whole family and what you are doing to help make a better world to live in. ❤️🙏

Really interesting and helpful Q & A session. Thank you! I love these vlogs as there is always something to learn.

To the new single mom: It's not a fun job, but UPS is a great part time job. Preload is early morning so you could do school during the day if you got help watching your child and get them to school. Part time employees get health insurance after a certain period (6-12 mo?) Good luck.

Left to tell is a great 📖

I’ve read that. It really was interesting.👍

It is cheaper to pay mortgage than rent where I live and has been for almost 4 years! My value of my house has almost doubled since I moved in.

Thank you for helping me to start my Thursday blessed and happy.Despite trials and heartache I find joy.Big hugs.🙏❣️

I really enjoy the Q & A once a week! Have a great day!

For Amisha, if you have any blood plasma donation centers in your area, and if you qualify to donate, you can be paid for your time in donating blood plasma. It probably wouldn't take more than a couple of months of donating blood plasma to earn the $600 needed to pay off your school debt. Also, sell things, walk dogs, clean houses, wash windows, detail cars, babysit, and so on. Any of those things can earn you some money.

FFA has no down payment program but its seperated so you have to search it out .

Potty training advice from me (I had 3 under 3 at one point) wait until summer. Less clothes on and some do naked- I didn’t. My middle guy was 22 months fully trained, oldest 2 and 3 months and youngest daughter the same! Winter is hard w excessive clothing and accidents. And so sorry for the loss of your husband.! I lost mine 5-2016. You can do this girl!!

Bookreading! I live on the other side of the world from my grandchildren. My son and daughter each have two school age children and live less than an hour away from each other. We have always done weekly Skype times with them but sometimes kids see it as a chore to talk to the grandparents, they want to play! So we do the Skype during suppertime because they are already at the table. And I read books to them. We have read many, many books. Now we are reading longer books and when the book is finally finished the two families get together and watch the movie adaptation of it together. We did Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlotte's Web, and we just finished Wizard of Oz. Everyone loves this. I do, the kids do and their parents do. I can see continuing it even when they get older.
