Going through the Bible a chapter at a time. I can only imagine the children questions. And their insight. I noticed so much lately with young children knowing things about God. Which seems they are getting the information straight for the Lord. Beautiful
I love it that you’re reading the actual Bible with the kids instead of story books or other books. The Word is Life! You guys are so FUN! I love it. Also, you need to get about 75 chickens! And electric fence to keep them safe.
How do you equate God being the Holy God and the demonic imagination of dairies in heaven reaching down to earth ??? This does not happen, you need to read your Bible. A boen again Spirit that goes to Heaven after earthly death has ZERO to do with earth ever again. We don't g o to heaven to reunite with spirits that have passed from the earth. HEAVEN is where we go yo unite with and serve God forever. If this is not your focus ,I'd question if you're going to Heaven. You need to read your Bible PLEASE!!!💞🙏💞🙏💞🙏
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 While I agree with what you’re saying biblically, your attitude is a little harsh. The Lord calls us to speak the truth in love.
I homeschooled my kids in the 80s when we were underground, it wasn’t quite excepted in those days. It’s come a long way. My family who founded Pensacola Christian college and Abeka book were real pioneers for homeschooling back in the day and I’m thankful for my cousins Arlin and Beka . I’m glad it’s really evolved and gotten better through the years.
I think it is so awesome how the Lord put your families together so quickly. Your children are SO BLESSED to live in a Godly home. Your both doing such a awesome job raising your Children in the Lord.
I know this is my second comment but I just have to say that you guys are great. I fell in love with your relationship right away. God bless you guys and your family.
Thank you, Sherry. The details of our meeting and the fact we had so much in common added to the fact that we weren’t looking for one another - it can only be God. To Him be the glory! - Caleb
I'm awed and impressed that Tamara finds time to fix her hair! I don't watch shorts, but on these long form videos, she always looks great. Your story definitely needs to be in a book!
This is the happiest channel on TH-cam. Those of us who believe in the power of the family get reaffirmed in our faith every vlog you do. Christianity is a big tent for the faithful of many languages, cultures and beliefs. Keeping it at the forefront of your family will produce happy, healthy adults. It is so enjoyable to listen to you. Truly a God-ordained marriage!
That’s so awesome you are thinking about speaking at churches. I was thinking you guys have an awesome testimony and should go to churches and share the goodness of God 🙌🏻🙏🙏
I’m proud of y’all for going ahead and getting married therefore teaching your children it’s not ok to just live together. You took a gamble and look where you are today. Marriage is WORK something most people are not willing to do. You have a God given marriage.
I have a similar story as far as time line. I prayed the last week of February 1980 and God sent Tom the next week and we got married June 14 1980. We both knew the day we met that God had brought us together. So hearing your story it's God
The best idea for laundry is to buy all the same brand of socks for all the ones in that size range. Then a slightly different looking brand for the smaller ones. ;-) FAR less matching needed.
Hi there 😊 thank you for sharing your life with us ! Our Lord has definitely Blessed You All. Your Family is Beautiful ! Have a great weekend at Silver Dollar City. Be Safe and God Bless You All 😊
I just want you both to know that I fell in love with you from the very first vlog, and even more so every time I watch you. What an amazing story and love you share. From Indiana, Rossi J
You two are amazing! Love your dedication and devotion to all aspects of your lives together! Thank you for such an informative video and the time you have taken to share with all of us (like you have all kinds of free time)! PS Would love to see the weekend Silver Dollar City video if that works out! Love to all of you!
It's RED, Tamara.... Thanks for sharing you two, always enjoy these Q&A sessions are great! Good a production deal for sharing your story, I just love your story.
Tamara my husband and I are AG pastors. So that’s neat that was your background! Love watching you guys and seeing how God is working in your lives! 🙏❤
You’re back! 😊 It’s great to hear from you. With God in your lives, love and communication will guide you all. Congratulations to all of you on your family success. ❤
If you two weren’t online dating or actively looking for your next someone then I truly believe that God placed you two together. I lost my husband five years ago to brain cancer. I started dating a year ago And I’m already so sick of online dating. I have met someone and we have been seeing each other for a couple of months. But my feelings are so numb. I feel numb! I had a great love with my late husband. Once in a lifetime type love. I’m starting to think that there’s just no room in my heart for another man. Or is it that I just haven’t found the right one. I know this much….Im not looking any longer. He will have to fall in my lap. By the way, congratulations you two! I can only imagine that your children having a Mom figure and a Dad figure again is really helping the grief they were still going through. If not then I’m sure you guys would get them the therapy needed. Talking openly really helps. I know bc it sure helps me to keep his memory alive. You can have religion all day long but what’s real is a relationship with Christ.
Yes!!! Long live the Oxford comma!!! ☺Fellow homeschool mama here (to 12 kiddos also!). My husband and I have a September anniversary as well. Happy Anniversary to you! Blessings!
Love to hear your stories!! And to see how God worked in your lives is so amazing! And Caleb you went to College of the Ozarks-cool! Did you ever work at their restaurant? We love to eat there-in fact we are planning to head to Branson tomorrow from Central KS! Go Chiefs!! Ah Silver $?! Cool, but we will only be there till Friday!! Bummer!!
☺️ What a great video, so good to see you and hear all about your family -- you are glowing with love and happiness, Praise God 🙏✝️❤️, Love and prayers to your big , beautiful family 💕
Could you raise your own chickens? That way, you could have lots of fresh eggs. Just a thought. I LOVE your channel! Your faith and story are so inspiring. May God richly bless your family.
Not that you need more input, but...😊concerning food with boys, my guys began helping with the food prep when they were the ages of your oldest. What a game changer for me and the school day! We ate clean but on a tight budget, however they got great experience and are good cooks to this day for their own families. We made the first week of the month as food prep(lighter school days) and I worked it into school schedule because it helped sooo much. They made burritos (breakfast and regular) usually 5 at a time, huge batches of muffins, etc. This made a hearty breakfast possible on school days. Anyway, you'll find your own rhythm and thanks for taking us along! Love & prayers for your fam- 💕
Your love story is such a blessing and inspiration to everyone who has lost a spouse. Thanks be to God for bringing you together.❤ Do your folks live nearby to help with watching the kids?
Love hearing how you manage wrangling all your boys. My husband and I had 7 boys. The laundry was never done but I did several loads every day. I handled the sock issue but sewing in a good knot of thread at the toe of every sock. Each boy had their own color thread. Always knew who the socks belonged to. Getting to church on time was a must as often we were serving so we planned in extra time and changed our mindset. So if the service started at 8 we planned to be there by 7:45. If the trip took 30 minutes we gave ourselves another extra 15 minutes and took the mindset that we needed to be out the door by 7. We were always late getting out the door because as you know there is always gonna be something, but planned in enough wiggle room that we generally made it to church on time. Older boys helped with getting littles ready and into their car seats. I’m sure your older kids help out a lot too. Large families are quite manageable but you do have to run a tight ship.
Thanks for sharing! I saw Caleb mention wide mouth jelly jars on another video and wondered if it would be helpful to transfer the jelly to your container of choice... wide mouth Mason jar, plastic tub, whatever works best? Also, instead of breakfast tacos/burritos would it be helpful if you wing it with a casserole of sorts with all of the ingredients that you use for the tacos? Seems like it would save some time? When you get time 😂 search "feeding big families" on TH-cam for inspiration and tips.
You need to raise some egg laying chickens. Also you need to grow a garden to include cilantro gerb. Get a freeze dryer to p reserve and do some canning.❤😅
We only had 6 kids, but my husband sang the Worship band and we always had to be extra early to. Curch. I learned from a Messianic believer who said she prepared for Sabbath all week. So I got "Sunday box" and as I washed put call the kids other in it. On Saturday evening I added their shoes. I also gave them a chocolate cereal treat on Sunday morning as they liked it so much they ate quickly 😅
Do you have anyone in your town who sells eggs from their farm? I feel for you, Tamara about cooking and needing sleep but such an inspiration you all are! Blessings on a dad who leads out in the ways that matter!
Would be a great school project for the boys to get some indoor planters (any large plastic container works and kids can decorate the outside) and plant some Cilantro. My son had a public school project and students had to nurture their plants for a whole semester. It was so much fun for the kids and whoever had the tallest plants won a prize. And win-win for the Cilantro!! 😊
Homeschool lunch ideas.... sandwiches of course but also just a giant charcuterie board type thing, sometimes leftovers, chicken nuggets n fruit.. we honestly do a lot of sandwiches 😊 love the single file oldest to youngest i do that with ours when shopping without dad or my mom inlaw :)
Loved this video!!! I always monitor egg prices! It's kind of the tell all on inflation and the supply chain. Sams eggs have increased $4 in a month plus the new limit of 2. It's crazy! Have you guys considered sharing your story with Great American Family Channel? They are God honoring. Also, I haven't heard it mentioned if Caleb was able to be with Tamara during the birth and if so where did the other kiddos go? Understandable if this is to be kept private. Thank you for sharing your story... God's story... and your life with us.
Could we ever get a video of like an up close cameo of each kiddo, in order, with the birth parent of that child introducing them? It would be fun to see the resemblance (maybe hold up a photo of Sarah or Aramie (sp) as well?) That would be neat to see them up close, even if you don't make a habit of it. :-)
Going through the Bible a chapter at a time. I can only imagine the children questions. And their insight. I noticed so much lately with young children knowing things about God. Which seems they are getting the information straight for the Lord. Beautiful
I love watching you guys. I see God all over your lives. It is truly enjoyable!
My husband and I dated 6 weeks before we married. We celebrated 52 years of marriage this year. You know when it’s right!
You are blessed. I would've been celebrating my fifty two years, too. It Got to my husband at forty-three, yes
Congratulations
I love it that you’re reading the actual Bible with the kids instead of story books or other books. The Word is Life!
You guys are so FUN! I love it. Also, you need to get about 75 chickens! And electric fence to keep them safe.
I so feel this was God and your spouses reaching down from heaven to bring you both together.. This is such a beautiful union.. 🙏 God is so great..

Yes this and if you can afford the extra by REINFORCED Toe ... its a game changer with boys lol
You can also buy socks with different colours on toes and heels
God does not make mistakes you guys are so sweet together he knows what you need when you need it I wish you many many more happy healthy years

Was there anything that shocked you after you were married that you weren't expecting?
So precious
Love, love how you give God the Glory!!! God is so, so faithful and your life sure encourages me!!
Your story for His glory.

I love your guys humor, you have such a beautiful connection/chemistry! God is good! 🥰
Love hearing your story and that you give God the glory!
We love BJU Press online and the Homeschool Hub too.
Could you raise your own chickens? That way, you could have lots of fresh eggs. Just a thought. I LOVE your channel! Your faith and story are so inspiring. May God richly bless your family.
We had chickens at the first of the year but they were destroyed by predators. Will try again for sure!
Praise God he led you to each other.

Oh I wish I could make down to Silver Dollar City to meet you and your sweet family. The weather should be perfect!
Maybe someday! And yessss hoping it’s not super hot! 😅
Love your story! Sending you all high fives from our family with nine children! We get it!
Try also adding potatoes to your breakfast burritos. Should keep them full for a while.
Definitely a Chiefs fan. I'm from Kansas City Missouri.
Lovely to hear your story. We had to wait 5 years before we married ! I don't recommend that.May God continue to lead you all and sustain you.
You need to raise some egg laying chickens. Also you need to grow a garden to include cilantro gerb. Get a freeze dryer to p reserve and do some canning.❤😅
Oh yes 🙌🏻 to the garden,and a harvest right freeze dryer as well as canning!!!! 🎉
Wonderful 🙏
It is an orange bag with a hint of red. A more orange-red than red-orange!
I love too listen to you. God is good .🙏🙏 thank you for sharing ❤❤
We only had 6 kids, but my husband sang the Worship band and we always had to be extra early to. Curch. I learned from a Messianic believer who said she prepared for Sabbath all week. So I got "Sunday box" and as I washed put call the kids other in it. On Saturday evening I added their shoes. I also gave them a chocolate cereal treat on Sunday morning as they liked it so much they ate quickly 😅
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks. Maybe you should get chickens and gather your own eggs
Do you have anyone in your town who sells eggs from their farm? I feel for you, Tamara about cooking and needing sleep but such an inspiration you all are! Blessings on a dad who leads out in the ways that matter!
Would be a great school project for the boys to get some indoor planters (any large plastic container works and kids can decorate the outside) and plant some Cilantro. My son had a public school project and students had to nurture their plants for a whole semester. It was so much fun for the kids and whoever had the tallest plants won a prize. And win-win for the Cilantro!! 😊
Homeschool lunch ideas.... sandwiches of course but also just a giant charcuterie board type thing, sometimes leftovers, chicken nuggets n fruit.. we honestly do a lot of sandwiches 😊 love the single file oldest to youngest i do that with ours when shopping without dad or my mom inlaw :)
Ramen
Loved this video!!! I always monitor egg prices! It's kind of the tell all on inflation and the supply chain. Sams eggs have increased $4 in a month plus the new limit of 2. It's crazy!
Have you guys considered sharing your story with Great American Family Channel? They are God honoring. Also, I haven't heard it mentioned if Caleb was able to be with Tamara during the birth and if so where did the other kiddos go? Understandable if this is to be kept private. Thank you for sharing your story... God's story... and your life with us.
Could we ever get a video of like an up close cameo of each kiddo, in order, with the birth parent of that child introducing them? It would be fun to see the resemblance (maybe hold up a photo of Sarah or Aramie (sp) as well?) That would be neat to see them up close, even if you don't make a habit of it. :-)
I love your story God truly put you two together 😊
My family is independent Christian Church. I don’t hear others mention that as their way of practicing their faith very often.
God is so good!! ❤❤
The m&m package is definitely orange! lol- my favorite flavor too!! Never looked at it and thought it was red before these videos!!
