I don't have a book club, so your channel is like hearing the thoughts of a friend. I am not a person of faith but your belief is warm & wonderful. Thank you for being here x
I agree. I can’t read books anymore due to a health condition and I refuse to give Jeff Bezos ANY of my money so I don’t have audio books & I’m not sure I’d retain the information as well because a big part of my health condition is called “brain fog “ so this is the wonderful compromise for me.
I’m not a believer either. But I do enjoy this channel. When Christianity is presented in such a positive manner it doesn’t bother me. (I was raised Christian) Cheere is intelligent and kind so I enjoy listening to her. ❤
This episode made me cry multiple times. Wow. I never knew that Grampie asked Mama to consider the name Cheere. It’s such a bitter sweet story I can’t handle it!! Please do more of these!!! I loved it!
I cried so many times throughout this beautiful video too Crystal. You and Cheere are so lucky to be part of such a lovely family. Are you two twins? Ps I’m the one who you wrote to on Tyler’s CZcams channel after I said that I had come over to the channel after Cheere had read his book and you told me Cheere was your sister 🥰
@@MegPaterson2 oh fun! Ok! I’m her youngest sister!! And I’m so proud of her for what she’s doing! I feel like this is one of her strongest posts to date!
Hello Cheere. I’m one of your ‘silent’ subscribers, but wow. What a privilege to hear what you shared. I listen to you as a an old time Literature graduate, teacher and now therapist. I LOVE how funny you are with your reviews / analysis of books - as well as philosophical and spiritual. I too became very emotional hearing you express all that love and missing of your mum. She flows through you, and from you, to us. x
Beautifully said. May I add that her accents have cracked me up on many an occasion. Her Southern drawl had me constantly giggling . It’s still a fairly foreign but charming accent to this Aussie. I thought it came naturally because before this I was under the impression that Cheere - what a heart wrenchingly beautiful story- was raised in the south since birth but had left early and lost most of it. BUT when she started her Diana accent she had me in hysterics. 👍🇦🇺
I appreciate your honesty and how much you loved your mom. I lost my mom to cancer too and it still left quite a big hole, and recently I lost my grandma who I was very close too caused she raised me when my mom had to work. I can also relate to you about God and Christianity to a certain extent. I believe in God, I know He loves me with all my imperfection. I used to go to church and involved in many of the activities, but since I moved to North America, I stopped and became dissolution over the insincere preaches. I decided to follow my own moral compass in determining what's right and wrong, and what God want us to do. I lost my ways several times, and until now I am still working my way back to Him. Thank you for sharing ❤
I have absolutely adored you from the start! Not religious, but I respect you and your values completely. Your Spare and Revenge reviews helped me spend hours at my mom's bedside when she had a very serious operation and complicated recovery. I ended up caring for her for 3 months and you gave me something to look forward to and to giggle about through that time. She is now a huge, huge fan as well and we enjoyed the Traitor King series together when we went on holiday together 😊 Cheere Denise, you are a gift that keeps on giving❤ Love you, thank you!!!
Wow wow wow! What an utterly beautiful story. SO sorry for the Loss of your mom.🥲I have children your age, Itoo homeschooled them and am a Christian. Cheere, I KNOW how proud and fulfilled your mom would be with your beautiful character as well as your intellect. You are a superb human and I can't tell how much I enjoyed this foray into your life. Dare I say, Iproud of you 💕😮
Your description of events in your life kindle memories and longing for your mom reminded me of how my father's death when I was 15 affected me. He never knew my husband and my husband has often said he wished he could have known my dad. My husband's parents would have really liked him, and he would have been crazy about my kids. He was a geologist and I taught geology (and history). I am 76 now and I have tears in my eyes as I write this. Be sure to tell your kids all about your mom and how special she was. They need to know.
Your storytelling has always been absorbing, intelligent and charming but today your pure candour made me cry. I can now imagine the bundle of lovely energy your family is. Thank you Cheere! You are a gift to us all❤❤❤
You describe the DC experience so well. I have lived here three times. Each time I've returned, DC has lost more of its shine. You will find your place. Getting outside the beltway will likely help. 😘
I got goosebumps when you explained that your mom taught you about Christ in a way no one else could. For me, it was my grandma. My parents were both teachers and incredibly busy. I spent downtime with my grandma. We’d cook, hang clothes on a clothesline, work in her garden. My parents are great! My grandma was patient. ❤
Wow just when I think I couldn’t love you more this remarkable video debuts and a whole new level of respect and admiration has developed. I am blown away by all you do, your origin story including your name,but most of all the impact your wonderful mother had on your life. The relationship you cultivated with Jesus in Germany moved me to tears. It explains your deep insight into some very complex people. Please continue to share any & all biographies that interest or inspire you not just royals because you have a unique perspective that needs to be shared. Thank you Cheere Denise you are a gift to us all ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing.❤ I lost my mom when I was 60 and it was way too soon. I appreciate that you share your “me” time with us reviewing the books. They entertain and enlighten me during my morning walks. I’m glad you stayed away from politics. Politics are divisive and your book reviews are inclusive. Looking forward to the next chapter!
You are so fortunate to have had her so long. My mother died when I was 19 and I had depended on her for so much-I had just gone back to school, but I did have a wonderful support group and my father did the best he could. They were the most loving parents one could imagine.
The difference with your Royal commentary is that it comes from books, not from gossip or headlines, which is refreshing. I've commented before how enjoyable it is for me to be read to. It's comforting in its own right. Your story of your mom and your relationship with God was touching and warm, and deeply moving. How your name came to be was also moving. Thank you for being so open and exposing some raw emotions. That took courage. I've always been a fan of you and your channel, now I'm even more so. Thank you for being you. 🙂❤️
You could write a memoir yourself. You’ve had such an interesting and eventful life and incredibly honest. Even your name is unique, very special. I married a German and went through the same thing as you, alone with two small kids in a village in Germany and my husband at work all the time. It was incredibly isolating because I didn’t speak as much German then and had no family support whatsoever. Now my kids are 25,22 and 16. How time flies.
So enjoyed you telling "your" story! Brave and tender. Intelligent and thoughtful. Just like your analysis of the books you share. We have very different backgrounds!!! However, so respect your brave HEART and humanity. Beautiful!
I love biography and history. I think you should still try on other biographies on other topics.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ loss of a parent is awlful. My daughter passed away last year 38. I don't even think I've processed it yet.
I am so sorry - please be patient with yourself - acceptance of such a loss is perhaps the biggest hurdle that anyone can be confronted with. There is strength in numbers and you are not alone. I love biographies and memoirs too.
I'm currently in the first year of mourning my mother, and I always think, "only the loss of a child could be more devastating." God's peace be with you. Saying a prayer for you now ❤
What a beautiful testimony! Have been with you from the start. Don't think you will ever know the wide variety of lives you have touched. I'm a 66 year old flight attendant that listens to you all over the world as I travel. Right now in South Africa. Raised in the south, I love your southern references. Look forward to all your videos.
Dear Cheere! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! It was so touching and moved me….i hope your move to another home, closer to your kids’ schools, and going part-time will make life so much easier. You deserve it! Bless you and I look forward to more of your videos! 🇦🇺🦘
Oh sweet girl, what a beautiful life story. Your mother sounds like such a lovely woman who understood the assignment. I also loved your recollection of your time alone in Germany. I spend most of my days alone too now that my husband is gone to Heaven. I lost my mom, then 17 months later my husband, so these last 6 years have been lonely. However, I was 60 when the deaths started so I had my mom a long time. My mom was my savior too. She was a Proverbs 31 lady, for sure. I also grew up very innocent and naive so the real world did a number on me. Thankfully, all that my mother instilled in me stayed put and I always had that to draw from. I especially loved where your name comes from. Your entire story is so very touching. Your children are so very blessed to have a mom like you in the times we’re now living in. May He continue to bless you and yours. ❤
I really enjoy your recaps. You Mom sounds like she was an incredible lady. You have had a very interesting life. I hope you learn to like DC more. I’m from there and there are wonderful people and places in the area.
I know what you mean about shopping in Germany. When I first moved there, it was irritating. The limited hours, not knowing the brands, etc. But after I got used to it, I realized that shopping is not a thing with Germans. Life is. The shops closed early on Saturdays so people had the afternoon and evenings to get together. On Sunday, they were all closed and there'd be throngs of Germans taking walks in the woods, and stopping at the cafe in or near the woods for kaffe und kuchen.
I cried along with you, as you were talking about your mother. When you said , “with every birth I had, it felt like my mother had died again” that broke my heart. She sounds like she was an amazing person. I’m old enough to be your mother and I can tell you that she would be so very proud of the woman you have become. I’m truly so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for your beautiful testimony and please let your husband know that we thank him for his service. I randomly found you in the middle of Spare and was one of the ones panicked when we didn’t hear from you last summer and was ELATED when you returned. The story about your grandparents and your name is incredible and so special. Your students are so very blessed because I know you are an amazing teacher. We lived two hours from Birmingham and frequented the Galleria in Hoover quite a lot. I wonder if we crossed paths with you! Also, my son in law teaches at UAB. We have quite a bit in common, no wonder I enjoy you SO MUCH! Sending you much love from Mississippi.
Long time listener, first time commenting… I really appreciate your “ testimony” I was also a military wife so I can relate to your feelings of aloneness and being a single parenting. I also so appreciate the details of your faith journey. I love your channel. You seem wise beyond your years. Thank you for your content.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love you and your channel more! I’m cooking dinner and occasionally crying along. Told my kids I’m cutting onions 😂 Great to hear the story of your spiritual journey, I finally started mine age 34 when I got clean and sober one day at a time. 55 now and going strong 🙏so glad God took your microphone equipment away so we could get you know you
That is such a beautiful story. You’re so lucky with your family even losing your mum at 21 you’ve had better mothering than some whose mother lives to a ripe old age.
Hello from a British follower in Germany...and a former GSHP "mum". Thank you for sharing your interesting story! Just know there's a warm welcome here from a crazy book lover if you are ever back this way! x
Cheere is a beautiful and unusual name. I’m happy you shared its origin because I now recognize how special it also is. 😊 As you were describing your mom, I got the sense that she poured her soul into her children. You speak so beautifully of her. It was a very warm, cozy feeling that smelled like cedar. 🌲
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. Through hardship and loss we learn so much. Having Christ in your life will always keep you grounded. Your family is very lucky to have you.
My auntie and uncle were also missionaries in Peru in the late 50’s they only returned home when my auntie began to struggle mentally. Because of her behaviour the church believed she had been affected by the devil only to find out when they returned home she had a brain tumour and died shortly after. The loss was huge my cousin was only nine. Sadly, they had lost their daughter to polio. I know the struggle you have had Cheer with losing your mum because sadly we lost my husband to cancer and I see my son struggle it breaks my heart that I can’t take his pain away.
You’re right, you can’t, but there is no pain in this earth that God is impotent to use. He sees every tear that falls, hears every breath of a prayer and the pain that the devil would use to break us is often the very place God uses to bring us new life, more truth, deeper understanding. You can’t do anything in your own strength for your son but don’t ever, ever underestimate the power and might behind your prayers for him! Stay on your knees for him!
I loved learning more about you. It made me cry to hear you talk about your mom. She sounds like she was a beautiful person. Love your name backstory as well - can’t believe you have a twin. I am a twin too, but my sister passed away 2 years ago from ovarian cancer. I miss her each and every day. Your books have really helped me through this time, so thank you! 💗
That was brave Cheere, putting your life out there, I could’ve listened to you for another hour. An Aussie here, so understand the landscape of where your parents worked. Thankyou, your story is so interesting.
Cheere, the tribute to your mum was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss of her, but she'd be so proud of you. She obviously did everything right. Blessings, luvvie. 🌹🌹
I love your personal story and as a preacher’s daughter, I can relate to so many pieces of growing up in the church. Not getting deep in scripture because I would always call my mom to pray me through tough times. Your mom sounds like such a beautiful lady and i hope that the foundation she laid will always be a comfort during the sad times. Thanks for being open. I am sure your story will resonate with some moms on your chanel. ❤
I love your channel Cheere! It was the first time I subscribed to a channel. I love the humour, honesty, and unbiased reflections you bring to the books you choose. I have listened to every single one and was not upset you backed away from the Hunter Thomson book. I did read that book as you had recommended it. I believe your faith is why your reviews are so honest and balanced!
I really enjoyed your Q&A. I was quite tearful at times, you are such a down to earth person. Your family sounds incredible to have lived in PNG in the 50’s where the tribes were essentially still head hunters. My two grandchildren walked the Kokoda Track late last year. The villagers along the track are still practicing Christian’s and sing all the time. What a great legacy to leave.
Can I please ask you what is your favorite book . I'm so grateful been with you since the beginning. You are so brave opening your heart to us . Thank you .
Cheere you brought a tear to my eye, i found myself relating to you in some ways. My father died when i was five, in unusual circumstances, cardiac arrest mid flight, my mum, me, and brother's were present. I don't remember any of it. My mother never married again, she didn't even have a relationship, she dedicated her life to us kids. It was hard for her, an immigrant to the UK, where we kids were born. She got ill in her mid 40's, i left my job, and cared for her, for the last five year's of her life. She died four weeks before my wedding, when i was 26. She was very religious, and i kind of abandoned it, thinking where was god for her, who she was so dedicated to. It's true, when you have your own kids, that's when you feel that loss the most. I've found faith again, since the kids were born, and life goes on. I loved how you got your name, but so sad to hear the circumstances, of your Grandmother's birth, then loss, of the triplets.
Oh my goodness. Thank you for sharing such depth of personhood. Your testimony/witness is so heartfelt and I pray that people who don't know Christ, will want to after seeing you and hearing you on this presentation. So very powerful and yes, I cried with you. ❤
Cheere I can so relate to your being a military wife and turning to God to cope! I was a military wife for 37 years. I also married at 21, moved 2000 miles from home and had three children in three years. I was baptized and converted to the Catholic faith when pregnant with my second child. My husband, was not ready for his responsibility, he was only 20, did not practice and was always gone. God brought me through that time, my children and I found refuge in the church community and my faith kept me sane. I think without god I never would have survived it or stayed married, and we will celebrate 45 years this year. I also could not have coped with my sons doing multiple tours in Afghanistan. I so look forward to your videos! For lent I gave up all social media, with the exception of your channel.
Oh Cheere, what a beautiful story. I can certainly identify with that feeling of disconnect with God. Knowing he loves me, but not feeling that I could ever be what I should. I imagined him facepalming when he looked down on me! Thank you so much for sharing. Your mom sounds like an amazing human and one day, your reunion will be magnificent 💝
Thank you for sharing those details about your life and family, Cheere. I loved hearing about your story, and I feel honored that you chose to share those personal things with us. You have a lot of wisdom and I always walk away from your videos edified on some level. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out. You have an impact. Consider yourself one sister (in Christ) richer. 💛
Others have said it more eloquently, so I'll simply say thank you for your time and your story, I so look forward to your video drops, I pray God will bless and keep you and those you love
Your channel is amazing 👏 You have a forever viewer.!!❤!! I love the way you cover topics and books.!! God bless you and His Angels watch over you and your family.!!! 🙏 ✝️ Thank you for sharing your history.💞🌹
"To lose someone who had been so instrumental to our minds and our souls...". So, I am 55, probably So probably , same age as your mum in heaven. Irish Catholic, so different but similar. She died at 88, Alzheimer's, devastating,she was a Childrens Librarian, very intelligent. So different, but similar. You made me cry😊😊😊😊in a good way. I love you.
I knew you were a Christian from the beginning. (The Holy Spirit thing) So I stayed for the books and your outlook. Now I see how much we are similar. My son was in the infantry for the surge as well. He did about 18 months in Iraq and is now a police officer. My grandfather was a pastor and I have been in the faith all my life. My mom was also the driving force in my life and I lost her a few years ago. I know what you mean about grieving your mom. I have taught 5-6 grade Sunday school for more than 40 years. My daughter works for the Southern Baptist convention in California. Keep it up, and you will be so successful! I so enjoy your book reading and reviews. Were your parents with Wycliff?
I tuned into this one by accident. I just adored hearing about your life. I think you are wonderful. Keep up the good work you are doing here. You shareso much that is good and just and loving. The world needs more like you. ❤
Ive watched it now you carry so much spirit in your reading in godliness and kind your an absolute inspiration your mom would be so proud how much happiness you bring to so many i dont know you and im so proud to be a member of your community xxc
I think that the greatest gift a parent can give to his or her child is to be a happy, positive person...those of us who struggle with a bit of a curmudgeonly streak do our best, but the rare naturally happy, serene people are the jackpot in the parent lottery, imo.
So happy to hear your story of faith. Thank you for sharing! Jesus cares and is so faithful and each of us is personal to Him. God bless you and your family.
I really enjoyed Brittany’s book, something I REALLY didn’t expect. JPS not so much but thought it was better than nothing. Another book club suggestion would be Angela Levin’s book about Queen Camilla or Robert Harman’s book about the King if you’re looking for more Royal ones. Or I’d love YOUR take on The Housekeeper’s Diary by Wendy Berry if you can find one - housekeeper at Highgrove for 7 years when the boys were young.
Thank you for your testimony. My first child was born in Germany, too....that was 65 years ago....one of my favorite Scriptures is Hebrews 12:2 ....Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith....l get so much ''mileage'' out of those words....really have been enjoying your commentary of different books....thanks...
Hi cheere. Your stories were so touching and thought provoking…. The way you spoke about your mom was fascinating to me. God took something so incredibly dear to you but that allowed you to know Him in return. You’re time in Germany is exactly what I’m going through now. I put my career on hold to raise my two babies and I related to the the way you described your life during that time in your life. It’s a beautiful gift.
Cheere what a beautiful story of your life. Ever since I started watching your channel I have had a feeling that you were a Christian. Also I really appreciate the way that you carry yourself with dignity something that is in short supply now a days. Thank you for the back story of your life. God Bless you!
What a wonderful AMA! Your life story is very touching - and interesting! Thank you for sharing. I am really enjoying your content and your book selections. Your input is well-articulated, enlightening, and sometimes really funny and entertaining. I think you're going to be a big success on YT. Your grandparents story is just incredible, BTW. You are made of tough stuff! Best wishes and lots of love to you.
Wow this was such a treat! Your name story did not let me down (I was probably one of many who asked!). Your story is very inspirational to me even though you may find it simple. Loved getting to know you more Cheere!
Dearest Cheere... What a beautiful story you have shared. I've cried several times throughout. You are such a kindred spirit and I'm so blessed to know you.❤ Thank you so much for your precious comments! I recently found your commentary on Diana, by Lady C and as I was listening I thought to myself, "she has such wisdom, I wonder who she is?" Well now I understand. I will always seek out your channel to see what you're up to and enjoy your profound insights and joyous humor. I love you in the Lord!🙏❤🙏 Yours affectionately, A 75 year old Grandma admirerer!
Oh my, where do I begin? Cheere, I am so sorry about the crippling loss of your Mom. She sounds like an absolute angel. I am also so very sorry that I wrote a message to you when I saw this post, rather than after listening to it.. I do manual work, as a small scale organic veg farmer and every day I download many talks to listen to while I'm working. I told you how your reviews got me through hard times during my mom's illness, and how she now loves you too... and I told you this without even mentioning your mom and how sad I am for you. Please know that I was not callous, only uninformed. You are so brave, your grandparents have passed on their resilience and strength along with your beautiful name! Thank you for this wonderful channel and for your inspiration ❤️ 💜
Cheere, Every time I go through a bad experience, I will think of your grandparents. The tragedy they endured after your grandmother delivered triplets has to be one of the most grueling experiences. You must be honored to be named after her 😢.
Thank you for sharing your story with us Cheere. You have had a fascinating life so far and I'm glad we're all here to share the next part of your journey. Your Mum would be so incredibly proud of you 😊❤
What sweet stories about your name, your mom influencing your life, growing up, insight about large families and the dark seasons God used to reveal His love for you. So good to hear and learn about you. my admiration for all the things you do supporting and nurturing your family, work, this channel and so much more. Thank you for sharing your talents!!
I don't have a book club, so your channel is like hearing the thoughts of a friend. I am not a person of faith but your belief is warm & wonderful. Thank you for being here x

This episode made me cry multiple times. Wow. I never knew that Grampie asked Mama to consider the name Cheere. It’s such a bitter sweet story I can’t handle it!! Please do more of these!!! I loved it!
Hey sister! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Wow, you are so blessed to have Cheere as.a big sister. And I agree with you that I hope she will do more of these!
Same. I cried too. X
I cried so many times throughout this beautiful video too Crystal.
You and Cheere are so lucky to be part of such a lovely family.
Are you two twins?

You should do “ The Mountbattens. The Marriage. Came out in 2019. Prince Philip’s uncle
Yes please
Yes! That's a good one. They were fascinating people!
I love biography and history. I think you should still try on other biographies on other topics.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ loss of a parent is awlful. My daughter passed away last year 38. I don't even think
I've processed it yet.
🙏🙏♥️♥️
I am so sorry - please be patient with yourself - acceptance of such a loss is perhaps the biggest hurdle that anyone can be confronted with. There is strength in numbers and you are not alone.
I love biographies and memoirs too.
I'm currently in the first year of mourning my mother, and I always think, "only the loss of a child could be more devastating." God's peace be with you. Saying a prayer for you now ❤
Sending prayers to you 🙏🏼❤
@@2022_AZ thank you ♥️
Wow! You’re amazing… Actually made me cry, and made me think about my own relationship with the Lord so thank you
You should write a book. I love Tyler’s story. Maybe write you grandparents story. So sad and beautiful. God bless ❤
What a beautiful testimony! Have been with you from the start. Don't think you will ever know the wide variety of lives you have touched. I'm a 66 year old flight attendant that listens to you all over the world as I travel. Right now in South Africa. Raised in the south, I love your southern references. Look forward to all your videos.
You are a beautiful reflection (& more) of your mother and you’re so very deserving of such a beautiful name.
Dear Cheere! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! It was so touching and moved me….i hope your move to another home, closer to your kids’ schools, and going part-time will make life so much easier. You deserve it! Bless you and I look forward to more of your videos! 🇦🇺🦘
Oh sweet girl, what a beautiful life story. Your mother sounds like such a lovely woman who understood the assignment. I also loved your recollection of your time alone in Germany. I spend most of my days alone too now that my husband is gone to Heaven. I lost my mom, then 17 months later my husband, so these last 6 years have been lonely. However, I was 60 when the deaths started so I had my mom a long time. My mom was my savior too. She was a Proverbs 31 lady, for sure. I also grew up very innocent and naive so the real world did a number on me. Thankfully, all that my mother instilled in me stayed put and I always had that to draw from. I especially loved where your name comes from. Your entire story is so very touching. Your children are so very blessed to have a mom like you in the times we’re now living in. May He continue to bless you and yours. ❤
A moving story. I don't know how you have fit in all those life experiences, you look like a total youngster.
Well, I’m almost 36 (on the 27th) so I’m maybe older than I look 🤣 I hope so anyway!
Your honesty just shines through in all of the work you do on CZcams. It’s refreshing.
I really enjoy your recaps. You Mom sounds like she was an incredible lady. You have had a very interesting life. I hope you learn to like DC more. I’m from there and there are wonderful people and places in the area.
i live outside the beltway and travel 60 miles to work 3x per week because I can’t stand the chaos there.
I know what you mean about shopping in Germany. When I first moved there, it was irritating. The limited hours, not knowing the brands, etc. But after I got used to it, I realized that shopping is not a thing with Germans. Life is. The shops closed early on Saturdays so people had the afternoon and evenings to get together. On Sunday, they were all closed and there'd be throngs of Germans taking walks in the woods, and stopping at the cafe in or near the woods for kaffe und kuchen.
Isn’t it awesome once you get used to it? I miss the slower life SO much! My husband and I often talk about how much we miss it!
You are so beautiful inside and out Cheere. Thanks for being our friend.
I cried along with you, as you were talking about your mother. When you said , “with every birth I had, it felt like my mother had died again” that broke my heart. She sounds like she was an amazing person. I’m old enough to be your mother and I can tell you that she would be so very proud of the woman you have become. I’m truly so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for your beautiful testimony and please let your husband know that we thank him for his service. I randomly found you in the middle of Spare and was one of the ones panicked when we didn’t hear from you last summer and was ELATED when you returned. The story about your grandparents and your name is incredible and so special. Your students are so very blessed because I know you are an amazing teacher. We lived two hours from Birmingham and frequented the Galleria in Hoover quite a lot. I wonder if we crossed paths with you! Also, my son in law teaches at UAB. We have quite a bit in common, no wonder I enjoy you SO MUCH! Sending you much love from Mississippi.
Long time listener, first time commenting… I really appreciate your “ testimony” I was also a military wife so I can relate to your feelings of aloneness and being a single parenting. I also so appreciate the details of your faith journey. I love your channel. You seem wise beyond your years. Thank you for your content.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love you and your channel more! I’m cooking dinner and occasionally crying along. Told my kids I’m cutting onions 😂 Great to hear the story of your spiritual journey, I finally started mine age 34 when I got clean and sober one day at a time. 55 now and going strong 🙏so glad God took your microphone equipment away so we could get you know you
That is such a beautiful story. You’re so lucky with your family even losing your mum at 21 you’ve had better mothering than some whose mother lives to a ripe old age.
Hello from a British follower in Germany...and a former GSHP "mum". Thank you for sharing your interesting story! Just know there's a warm welcome here from a crazy book lover if you are ever back this way! x
How sweet! She’d be a lovely houseguest.
You should write your story down. You have a gift for telling a story and a poet’s heart. ❤️
Cheere is a beautiful and unusual name. I’m happy you shared its origin because I now recognize how special it also is. 😊 As you were describing your mom, I got the sense that she poured her soul into her children. You speak so beautifully of her. It was a very warm, cozy feeling that smelled like cedar. 🌲
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. Through hardship and loss we learn so much. Having Christ in your life will always keep you grounded. Your family is very lucky to have you.
My auntie and uncle were also missionaries in Peru in the late 50’s they only returned home when my auntie began to struggle mentally. Because of her behaviour the church believed she had been affected by the devil only to find out when they returned home she had a brain tumour and died shortly after. The loss was huge my cousin was only nine. Sadly, they had lost their daughter to polio. I know the struggle you have had Cheer with losing your mum because sadly we lost my husband to cancer and I see my son struggle it breaks my heart that I can’t take his pain away.
You’re right, you can’t, but there is no pain in this earth that God is impotent to use. He sees every tear that falls, hears every breath of a prayer and the pain that the devil would use to break us is often the very place God uses to bring us new life, more truth, deeper understanding. You can’t do anything in your own strength for your son but don’t ever, ever underestimate the power and might behind your prayers for him! Stay on your knees for him!
@@cheeredenise just so beautiful 💗
I loved learning more about you. It made me cry to hear you talk about your mom. She sounds like she was a beautiful person. Love your name backstory as well - can’t believe you have a twin. I am a twin too, but my sister passed away 2 years ago from ovarian cancer. I miss her each and every day. Your books have really helped me through this time, so thank you! 💗
Oh no!!!! My absolute worst nightmare would be to lose my twin! I am so so so sorry!!! ♥️
That was brave Cheere, putting your life out there, I could’ve listened to you for another hour. An Aussie here, so understand the landscape of where your parents worked. Thankyou, your story is so interesting.
Wonderful… but videos like this, make us crave more!!
Cheere, the tribute to your mum was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss of her, but she'd be so proud of you. She obviously did everything right.
Blessings, luvvie. 🌹🌹
I love your personal story and as a preacher’s daughter, I can relate to so many pieces of growing up in the church. Not getting deep in scripture because I would always call my mom to pray me through tough times. Your mom sounds like such a beautiful lady and i hope that the foundation she laid will always be a comfort during the sad times. Thanks for being open. I am sure your story will resonate with some moms on your chanel. ❤
You are a lovely storyteller, Cheere - your fourth graders are lucky to have you❤
I love your channel Cheere! It was the first time I subscribed to a channel. I love the humour, honesty, and unbiased reflections you bring to the books you choose. I have listened to every single one and was not upset you backed away from the Hunter Thomson book. I did read that book as you had recommended it. I believe your faith is why your reviews are so honest and balanced!
I really enjoyed your Q&A. I was quite tearful at times, you are such a down to earth person. Your family sounds incredible to have lived in PNG in the 50’s where the tribes were essentially still head hunters. My two grandchildren walked the Kokoda Track late last year. The villagers along the track are still practicing Christian’s and sing all the time. What a great legacy to leave.
Cherie your mother would be so very very proud of you . And our Lord is also .🙏❤️
What a lovely mother you had. She’s still your mom, and you will see her again! 😊
Can I please ask you what is your favorite book . I'm so grateful been with you since the beginning. You are so brave opening your heart to us . Thank you .
Cheere you brought a tear to my eye, i found myself relating to you in some ways. My father died when i was five, in unusual circumstances, cardiac arrest mid flight, my mum, me, and brother's were present. I don't remember any of it. My mother never married again, she didn't even have a relationship, she dedicated her life to us kids. It was hard for her, an immigrant to the UK, where we kids were born. She got ill in her mid 40's, i left my job, and cared for her, for the last five year's of her life. She died four weeks before my wedding, when i was 26. She was very religious, and i kind of abandoned it, thinking where was god for her, who she was so dedicated to. It's true, when you have your own kids, that's when you feel that loss the most. I've found faith again, since the kids were born, and life goes on.
I loved how you got your name, but so sad to hear the circumstances, of your Grandmother's birth, then loss, of the triplets.
Love the naming story!! It is a beautiful name. It could be your mantra on rough days - “be of good cheer - Cheere❤
Oh my goodness. Thank you for sharing such depth of personhood. Your testimony/witness is so heartfelt and I pray that people who don't know Christ, will want to after seeing you and hearing you on this presentation. So very powerful and yes, I cried with you. ❤
Cheere I can so relate to your being a military wife and turning to God to cope! I was a military wife for 37 years. I also married at 21, moved 2000 miles from home and had three children in three years. I was baptized and converted to the Catholic faith when pregnant with my second child. My husband, was not ready for his responsibility, he was only 20, did not practice and was always gone. God brought me through that time, my children and I found refuge in the church community and my faith kept me sane. I think without god I never would have survived it or stayed married, and we will celebrate 45 years this year. I also could not have coped with my sons doing multiple tours in Afghanistan. I so look forward to your videos! For lent I gave up all social media, with the exception of your channel.
Oh Cheere, what a beautiful story. I can certainly identify with that feeling of disconnect with God. Knowing he loves me, but not feeling that I could ever be what I should. I imagined him facepalming when he looked down on me! Thank you so much for sharing. Your mom sounds like an amazing human and one day, your reunion will be magnificent 💝
Oh my gosh I was thinking of you the other day and wondering if you were still making videos!
So happy to see you again
Thank you soooooo much for sharing your unique & special story/history.
I do so appreciate your honesty. I don’t know if I could do the same talking to virtual strangers. Good on you!
Thank you for sharing those details about your life and family, Cheere. I loved hearing about your story, and I feel honored that you chose to share those personal things with us. You have a lot of wisdom and I always walk away from your videos edified on some level. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out. You have an impact. Consider yourself one sister (in Christ) richer. 💛
Loved this! Beautiful ❤️ ❤ God bless you and yours. Thank your husband for his service.
Others have said it more eloquently, so I'll simply say thank you for your time and your story, I so look forward to your video drops, I pray God will bless and keep you and those you love
Your so beautiful Cheere inside and out. God bless!
Your channel is amazing 👏 You have a forever viewer.!!❤!! I love the way you cover topics and books.!! God bless you and His Angels watch over you and your family.!!! 🙏 ✝️ Thank you for sharing your history.💞🌹
Christ declared, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33; emphasis added). Love it!
"To lose someone who had been so instrumental to our minds and our souls...". So, I am 55, probably So probably , same age as your mum in heaven. Irish Catholic, so different but similar. She died at 88, Alzheimer's, devastating,she was a Childrens Librarian, very intelligent. So different, but similar. You made me cry😊😊😊😊in a good way. I love you.
I’m a lobbyist and politics are my life and THANK YOU for not doing politics!🎉 You’re the best at reviewing memoirs, soo funny❤
I love your channel. Your testimony is beautiful. I also love the way you honored your husband, mom, and others in this video.
I knew you were a Christian from the beginning. (The Holy Spirit thing) So I stayed for the books and your outlook. Now I see how much we are similar. My son was in the infantry for the surge as well. He did about 18 months in Iraq and is now a police officer. My grandfather was a pastor and I have been in the faith all my life. My mom was also the driving force in my life and I lost her a few years ago. I know what you mean about grieving your mom. I have taught 5-6 grade Sunday school for more than 40 years. My daughter works for the Southern Baptist convention in California. Keep it up, and you will be so successful! I so enjoy your book reading and reviews. Were your parents with Wycliff?
I tuned into this one by accident. I just adored hearing about your life. I think you are wonderful. Keep up the good work you are doing here.
You shareso much that is good and just and loving. The world needs more like you. ❤
You are a natural teacher ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I cried when you told us the third baby died.
ALL the best Cheere! Lots of love and prayers for you & your family! Love listening to you.
Ive watched it now you carry so much spirit in your reading in godliness and kind your an absolute inspiration your mom would be so proud how much happiness you bring to so many i dont know you and im so proud to be a member of your community xxc
thank you for sharing your story
I think that the greatest gift a parent can give to his or her child is to be a happy, positive person...those of us who struggle with a bit of a curmudgeonly streak do our best, but the rare naturally happy, serene people are the jackpot in the parent lottery, imo.
We Love you. 💜💜💜
So happy to hear your story of faith. Thank you for sharing! Jesus cares and is so faithful and each of us is personal to Him. God bless you and your family.
I am a person who loves Christ and I really appreciated hearing your experiences. Much love to you.
I really enjoyed Brittany’s book, something I REALLY didn’t expect. JPS not so much but thought it was better than nothing.
Another book club suggestion would be Angela Levin’s book about Queen Camilla or Robert Harman’s book about the King if you’re looking for more Royal ones.
Or I’d love YOUR take on The Housekeeper’s Diary by Wendy Berry if you can find one - housekeeper at Highgrove for 7 years when the boys were young.
Thank you for your testimony. My first child was born in Germany, too....that was 65 years ago....one of my favorite Scriptures is Hebrews 12:2 ....Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith....l get so much ''mileage'' out of those words....really have been enjoying your commentary of different books....thanks...
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed getting to know you. See you tomorrow.
What a truly beautiful and bold testimony for Jesus. 💞
What a story! ❤ Thank you so much Cheere.
Hi cheere. Your stories were so touching and thought provoking…. The way you spoke about your mom was fascinating to me. God took something so incredibly dear to you but that allowed you to know Him in return. You’re time in Germany is exactly what I’m going through now. I put my career on hold to raise my two babies and I related to the the way you described your life during that time in your life. It’s a beautiful gift.
Cheere what a beautiful story of your life. Ever since I started watching your channel I have had a feeling that you were a Christian. Also I really appreciate the way that you carry yourself with dignity something that is in short supply now a days. Thank you for the back story of your life. God Bless you!
What a wonderful AMA! Your life story is very touching - and interesting! Thank you for sharing. I am really enjoying your content and your book selections. Your input is well-articulated, enlightening, and sometimes really funny and entertaining. I think you're going to be a big success on YT. Your grandparents story is just incredible, BTW. You are made of tough stuff! Best wishes and lots of love to you.
Wow this was such a treat! Your name story did not let me down (I was probably one of many who asked!). Your story is very inspirational to me even though you may find it simple. Loved getting to know you more Cheere!
Thank you Cheere Denise. Love your channel. 🎉😊
Your Mum must be so incredibly proud of the woman you now are 🥰
My words aren't enough to express my feelings towards the program of you that I just witnessed. Much love to you and your family ❤️
Dearest Cheere... What a beautiful story you have shared. I've cried several times throughout. You are such a kindred spirit and I'm so blessed to know you.❤ Thank you so much for your precious comments! I recently found your commentary on Diana, by Lady C and as I was listening I thought to myself, "she has such wisdom, I wonder who she is?" Well now I understand. I will always seek out your channel to see what you're up to and enjoy your profound insights and joyous humor. I love you in the Lord!🙏❤🙏
Yours affectionately,
A 75 year old Grandma admirerer!
Oh my, where do I begin? Cheere, I am so sorry about the crippling loss of your Mom. She sounds like an absolute angel. I am also so very sorry that I wrote a message to you when I saw this post, rather than after listening to it.. I do manual work, as a small scale organic veg farmer and every day I download many talks to listen to while I'm working. I told you how your reviews got me through hard times during my mom's illness, and how she now loves you too... and I told you this without even mentioning your mom and how sad I am for you. Please know that I was not callous, only uninformed. You are so brave, your grandparents have passed on their resilience and strength along with your beautiful name! Thank you for this wonderful channel and for your inspiration ❤️ 💜
Absolutely love your channel. With constant migraines for the past couple of weeks, I have been binge listening to your videos! 😂
What a great video! You’ve had such an interesting life already. So sorry you lost your Mom so young. Sounds like she was wonderful.
Thank you.
What an informative but more an uplifting episode.
God bless, have a great day😊
Cheere, Every time I go through a bad experience, I will think of your grandparents. The tragedy they endured after your grandmother delivered triplets has to be one of the most grueling experiences. You must be honored to be named after her 😢.
It's so nice to feel your friendship in these videos. You do have a beautiful name ❤
Cheers to you 🎉. What a beautiful episode. Continued success and good wishes to you.
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting!
Thank you for sharing your story with us Cheere. You have had a fascinating life so far and I'm glad we're all here to share the next part of your journey. Your Mum would be so incredibly proud of you 😊❤
What sweet stories about your name, your mom influencing your life, growing up,
insight about large families and the dark seasons God used to reveal His love for you. So good to hear and learn about you. my admiration for all the things you do supporting and nurturing your family, work, this channel and so much more. Thank you for sharing your talents!!
