Finding my Identity in Christ | Part Two
zhlédnutí 133Před měsícem
Hi everyone, It's been really busy settling into the US, I had some feelings of being homesick but it didn't last long thankfully and I'm quite happy to be here and feeling more settled in. I had a lot of footage of our outings to share but as I was trying to put content together it felt quite empty so I waited on God and was led to make this video about identity in Christ.

Finally my husband and I are together again after an almost 3 year separation... Thank you Jesus for helping us. Poem my husband wrote here: You belong to the Son, not the moon. You belong up there, beyond the sky, not the earth, for it will be gone soon. You belong in a garden, and not the grave. You belong in the fields of gold, far away from any dark cave. You belong in a song, dedicated to ...

Join us on our family journey from New Zealand all the way to the United States of America. Long story short, my husband is an American citizen and after he left the country due to an expired visa, we decided to apply for a US visa for me. 2 years later my visa got approved, our daughter got her CRBA and US passport and then the moving process began. It's been a long and tiring journey but it's...

Located in Pakuranga, Auckland. Howick Historical Village is a must see if you're ever travelling around NZ. I'm glad I found this gem before we leave the country.. It brought a sense of joy and peace. I love learning about history.. However, having 2 children with me it was hard to stop and read everything but I enjoyed my time nonetheless. Would you visit here? Let me know in the comments! Ha...

So we are moving from NZ to the US soon as you may know already... I really want to make the most of the last few weeks that I have here so we went to the Anzac Day Parade which I personally have never attended before.

The Joy of knowing Christ...
zhlédnutí 119Před 3 měsíci
It's hard to be joyful at times especially when we go through hard seasons in life and that's okay... What we ought to rejoice in always is Christ, not our circumstances. Rejoice in the fact that God is love, that He is righteous, merciful and He loves us always. When we focus on our circumstances of course, joy can be hard to find. Here's some encouraging Scriptures below about joy: For the ki...

I'm AuDHD with Auditory Processing Disorder. I've got C-PTSD and ARFID too. It's so refreshing to hear from another autistic christian mom who understands the struggle. ❤️
@@coffeeandsnails8157 I've wondered if I also have C-PTSD as I've lived through prolonged trauma and only just escaped it in the last 5 years by God's grace. It's hard to find stability again after suffering through trauma... I hope with Christ you experience lots of peace and joy in your life ❤️
@@Hiswordandme I understand. I believe most autistic individuals have it. I mean, it makes sense right? I was raised by a narcissist. My other parent hid their AuDHD diagnosis from me until I was an adult. My ACE score is a 7. Sometimes, when my anxiety and/or depression is taking over, I speak these verses over myself: "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:24-25). It doesn't fix everything, but it helps me keep my eyes on Christ through the storm! ❤️ If you can, I would highly suggest trying to find a Neurodivergent-affirming counselor/therapist either in your area or online.

@@OfficialStitchVR awesome thank you 😊
@@HiswordandmeNo problem
❤❤❤
Thank you for your videos. I've searched many times for content on autism from the Christian perspective/experience and haven't found any, and your video randomly popped up for me today. I'm in a season of massive change and deep struggle to have any peace (change being one of the things I struggle with most due to autism), but I'm just clinging to God every day and I keep asking for that peace.... The strength to simply get out of bed each morning is from Him. Thanks again and please don't stop making videos. It's so needed for other believers to know we're not alone in this.. Lots of love to you. God bless.
@@Shalom-12 thank you friend. Nice to meet you.. Sorry you're going through a difficult season. Change/routine is a big challenge for me also and something I'd like to talk about more in this space. Thank you for being here 😊🌻
God bless you! <3
I'm an autistic Christian and I resonate with your experiences quite a lot. The Lord Jesus has made everyone with purpose and with love and being autistic doesn't change that. Even through evil and struggle, God's purposes shine forth in the end. May God lead you into all truth and holiness!
@@Chandler-f1j Amen. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Thankyou, for sharing your deep inner struggles with us. You concluded the topic so beautifully and empathetically. We are all unique and wonderful creations of God. You have created such a beautiful channel, that truly touches the hearts of many, so very deeply!!! ❤️🙏❤️

Thank you Tanaya.

I hope you move to a good kind loving hardly any crime state where you is beautiful.I live in Maryland and inside my home and when i go out jesuyis with me.family of 6 there ar3 killings almost daily we hear gun shots daily.we don't live in a poor area and i don't see Christ anywhere nobody smiles at all i oray for everyone.
@@martl3288 I'm so sorry. Honestly, where I'm located right now it's not the best but we're hoping to move to a safer, more family friendly area that's walkable. Hearing gun shots is definitely an unsettling experience especially when you have small children with you. I've heard them once while being here and it's very unpleasant so we avoid going out too late and my husband is always with us whenever we go out. Libraries thankfully are a safe and pleasant place to go so we enjoy taking our daughter there when we can. I hope you can find peace where you are, or that God would make a way for you and your family to be in a safer area. It is a shame how bad things have gotten.
You are a beautiful Christian with a beautiful heart. I really pray you don't fall into the trap of progressive Christianity as I've seen many fellow autistics fall into. Usually progressive Christianity is a gateway drug to dogmatic atheism or agnosticism because God has no power or use in progressive Christianity and God is just a sparkly rainbow magical unicorn who grants your wishes and doesn't punish sin.
You make me think of a dear friend who was also from new Zealand, but grew up in South Africa.
@@Master13346 oh that's lovely. I love South Africans, I have had some wonderful friends from there 😊
Hello dear friend. Thankyou for sharing a bit of your new life in America. It is through our toughest times, that we grow most in our lives, so hang in there, and holding onto Christ, he will not fail you and shall deliver you. When l became so ill , and my life literally fell to pieces, l really went through the deepest " valleys". But it was during that time, that l truly learnt the power of prayer from people who care about you. I went from laying in a hospital bed, close to losing, my life, to being given life again. Although l am wheelchair bound now, it is this journey that has made my walk with Christ all the closer. Moving to America was a great change, so be kind to yourself and lay all your worries at the cross. I live now in a small village in Switzerland. God blessed me with a loving husband, a small house, right next to a big forest......and of course I have told you how l love trees!!! When things feel too overwhelming, just take joy in the simple things. God will work out all the big stuff for you!!!! Sending you so much love and of course my prayers.❤🌲🌷✨🌲🌺✨❤️
@@michelleadonis3233 wow you've been through a lot but I'm so glad to hear how God has been with you and blessed you. Switzerland is a beautiful country too... I will lean more into prayer during this time, I know I need to. Thank you Michelle 😊❤️
I miss NZ too. The commuting was pleasant and pedestrian friendly. God help us find a nice place 🙏
Yeah, soon ❤️
❤🌼❤ Always such a joy to see your beautiful smile. Have been praying so, that you are feeling a bit better. Sending lots of love your way.🌸🕊️💮🌺🌲🌷🌲And lots of 🙏
Thank you for your prayers, honestly. I have cried a lot the last few weeks which is why I haven't uploaded anything because my cup was empty but I'm feeling a lot better thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to America friend! Praying you find more and more peace and comfort in your new home🩷
@@courtney9212 thank you! 😊🌻
It's really hard adjusting to life in a new country. Despite the challenges so far, I'm choosing to find joy in the little things and embrace the changes ahead of us. I miss some parts of home but overall, I'm glad I'm here. What do you love most about your home country? If you're from the US, what do you love most about living there? I'd love to know! 😊❤️
Let's not argue, criticise or condemn others for their food choices as Christians. Let's instead, be kind, patient, gentle and understanding.
I’m not a Christian anymore, because of my AuDHD. My former neighbor, who is a pastor, told me that, as a small child, he was terrified of burning in hell. I thought about that for weeks. Why would a child be terrified of burning for eternity? The answer is: child abuse. He had described the same manipulative abuse I was exposed to, for most of my life. Figuring that out was the easy part. The real question is “why would the sons of Europe, worship a Jewish desert god?” BECAUSE THEY TOLD US TO. It’s all about control. They are megalomaniacs.
I too love photography and learning the identity of plants!
Oh my goodness! I sang that same song to my littles! 🧡 one of my favorites- and your voice is beautiful! I don't have a diagnosis but feel that I'm autistic too- and I’m a mama- and Im a Christian too!! How fun, Sister, that we've never met but even if we never do- we will have heaven to meet and talk one day! 🧡 🎉
@@Xzy818 aw that's lovely heh.. Thank you. For some reason, that song has always stuck with me. I'm not officially diagnosed either but self diagnosis is valid. I'm glad to find there are others like myself and yes if not on this earth, we'll all meet in heaven 😇
Great video, Thankyou, watching from the uk. Also Sahm and autistic and Christian. What you said was so true
Needed some encouragement in His so I searched and Found you❤thank you I too am Autistic Wife and Mother grateful for the word and one another’s support 🎉
@@vynedvyne59 yay, glad we found each other 😊
I found your video hard to listen to because of the background noise. My autism involves auditory processing issues, so I appreciated the subtitles. I've had profoundly negative experiences in the American evangelical church. There's an expectation to conform to norms that have nothing to do with being like Christ. Fortunately, Jesus is bigger than man-made institutions, so my hope and identity are in him
@@EvergreenFlame sorry about that, but glad you could still watch it without sound. And yeah, it's really tough when people lack understanding and compassion for disabilities like Autism. I'm glad also because my hope and identity are in Him too 😊
Amen dear, be safe in your world you are blessed.
Thankyou for sharing your innermost feelings with us. So very relatable. When l became ill and ultimately wheelchair reliant, l so badly suffered with feelings of unworthiness. I have always been an extreme introvert, but becoming ill made me feel so deeply needing to seek approval from others, to feel any worthiness. I had been a Christian for many years ( turned 49 years last month 🤪 ) but still learning to trust in my self worth in the Lord. So often needing to feel safe, but knowing that my safety is in the arms of our Lord. I walk with the Lord is a daily one and He understands all of us. He created us all beautifully unique. Always such a joy to see and hear from you. Sending soooo much love. You radiate both inwardly and outwardly with God's beauty. God bless!! ❤️🌈✨🌺✨❤️🌈✨🙏✨
Well sis, i still dont know what im supposed to do in Church. I attend and like it there but i do struggle to relate to other people. Its not that im not trying prayer groups and such...but i still havent found my place. I really liked the colouring book and the pretty flowers you showed. Im especially found of mini roses so i have a few in my backyard. God bless you
It's the same for me on a Sunday and it's okay, as long as you have peace. In terms of your place as an individual in the church, think of the body of Christ outside of a Sunday service because quite honestly, many Sunday services aren't accommodating for Autistic people and introverts. I've found my place as a mother, and wife and that's where I believe I can serve God the best but of course it looks different for everyone. Thank you for your comment and the coloring book I found on Amazon for $3, I think it's still on special. It's called Garland of Grace coloring book if you wanted to check it out. Have a lovely day! 😊
I can definitely relate to both of your comments 🩷 I've been a part of my congregation for over 10 years and still feel like an outsider. I know that isn't true, it is just a symptom of the autism and I am also severely rejection sensitive. But God's Word says we are being built up into a holy temple for the LORD (Eph 2:21) along with all our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is difficult and lonely, but we are walking by faith in his word, not by the "sight" of how our symptoms make us feel🩷 Our Lord has called us to serve in our congregations as his workmanship (Eph 2:10) for His glory. 🩷
