I am so happy I finally found your family blog. I became very angry when my mum died at 47 and I was literally left alone so I left God.
Slowly but surely since watching your family Jessa, and mostly in the past two years, I have lead my own family to do a 360 turn and do as God wants us. It definitely has not been easy but I agree with you both 100%. I thought I was the only one who felt the same way about the world. I am a Nurse Practitioner and have found that I can''t even bring out the fact I am Christian at work without being ridiculed. When I need prayers, my "friends" will say 'i will wish well for you but I will not pray'.
Being a NP, I can lose my job if I say I am antiabortion and have firmly been for nearly 25 yrs, and I have been raped so I know what those circumstances would be.
I can comfortably say that I am also anti-gay and do not believe in transgenderism but that would get me dismissed from my job too. My ex-brother in law says he is gay, but I love him to death and would never treat anybody who is, nor transgender, but the media is extremely biased and has made anyone who effectively does not agree with them to be wicked, stupid and disgusting people.
It is sad, and it is disheartening to see that people now feel this way. I firmly believe the world would be 100% better place if people still followed the Lord, attended church and read their bible regularly.
I am so sorry for the length of my comments. I am just so happy and actually relieved to know I am not the only one who believes in the same things, as I sometimes feel like I am.
I wish I had supporters such as yourselves in my friendship base. I am so blessed and fortunate to have spoken with Derick's mum Carol, who is such a lovely person, but I have not broached any of what you said with her, as, it's a pretty heavy conversation piece, which I am so glad you posted (have I said that enough?)
I am very impressed with how well your church has taught God's word to you, I wish I was closer, so I could be as exceptionally educated too. (I am in Australia).
God bless you all, Ben, Jessa, Spurgeon and little Henry, and may you all lead healthy, happy and fulfilling lives xx -

Spot on. God has been showing me this as I was getting caught up looking at the secular outlook of daily life and I had to stop and say wait. I need to look at what the Bible says and God himself for answers. Thank you and God Bless.

AMEN!!! This is something I speak on often. Keep fighting for God's truth to be revealed so that the enemy's lies may be exposed. People need to keep their eyes and focus of Christ. The Author and Finisher of their lives. Peace be with you brother!

This is exactly what I needed to hear today! Since the election and inauguration I've been unsure of where I stand. I understand things like abortion is wrong Biblically but I also believe women should have a say and have free agency on what goes on with their body. I've been so stressed out about this topic and others. Your blog post made me realize that I need to stop looking to everyone else for a perspective and look to God and the scriptures for perspective.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts today. They really helped me.
By the way, I am a huge fan of 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. I have watched the show since I was a young teen and it helped me become the person I am today! Love your family!
God Bless you guys! -

God is all goodness, all beauty, and all truth. All goodness, truth, and beauty in the world; God is its source. These three things are inseparable, and should almost be considered as one thing. If something is good, true, or beautiful (or all three) God is its instigator. It is such because God has willed it. We should recognize all these things wherever we find them because, being works of God, we should love them and applaud them.
