You Can Run but You Can't Hide: Life, Love and Laughter !

[tjbrook88]

LOL....SO FUNNY...YOU PRECIOUS LADY ARE HILARIOUS! GREAT MESSAGE!!

[kvalle1]

@tjbrook88 Hello, Karen...thank you. This was just a little bit of my testimony. One day, I believe there will be a healing testimony also. I have such a desire to go on mini-mission trips. We do that a lot at our church, but I have not been released yet. There is a time coming....and YT and the internet have actually given me the opportunity to reach out to a lot of people...you never know who is watching or listening. So many hurt and broken. Thanks for watching :) ' ANYWAY'.lol,love, Karen ♥

[TheDarksEmpyrean]

God Bless you Karen. I actually saw this video when you had posted it. I am sorry about baby Justin and of course you diabetes. you are a very strong woman and your words are inspirational. I won't soon forget this. Much respect to you. Aldo ;)

[TheSpaghettiFamily]

AWESOME video Karen!! Thank you for sharing the lovely messages:))

[kvalle1]

@TheSpaghettiFamily Hello, Sheila ...thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you! You are one great and talented lady! Good luck on your Youtube series...:) Love, Karen

[milliondollarredhead]

I put EYE pencil liner on my lips as I was driving into Vegas...I thought it was lip pencil...my girlfriends arrived, we got our room and NOBODY told me I had DARK BROWN lined lips! :)))))) I guess they thought I was going "gothic"...why, I can't say! When I saw myself in the mirror, I gasped! Lesson: don't put on makeup while driving...and especially when it's dark outside! I'd rather have had red cheeks! LOL! You're so funny, Karen! Love, Red

[kvalle1]

@milliondollarredhead Hahahahaha...Red, this made me laugh and feel a ton better knowing someone as classy and gorgeous as you would do something as 'spectacular' as that!I am sure no one even noticed but that's pretty funny when you feel 'special' and you look in the mirror and look goth or like a Raggedy Ann Doll ( the video did not do my cheeks justice! It was bright pinkish/red splotches on my cheeks.I remember roaring in laughter as I'm sure you and your friends did too! lol love, Karen

[kvalle1]

@JESUSISREAL2011 I wish that was true, and I do get more smiles and love back than I get hate...but there are a few who do not like me...but it's just a few. I'd like to know who that man was, he was a smart man...Love and blessings! Karen :)

[kvalle1]

@JESUSISREAL2011 Hello, my friend...Topper? I just found a few comments on here...sorry for the delay in responding. I beat on the congas a bit, and love the tambourine, but am not inclined to play...wish I had gotten lessons on the keyboard when I was younger. I do sing a bit and have help to lead worship at our church from time to time. I have a lot of worship/praise/ and Christian music on my I-tunes.. Thank you so much for watching...not always sweet but I DO love the Lord !

[aRawLifestyle]

Doesn't everyone have a sock basket! lol

[kvalle1]

@aRawLifestyle Probably, but if they are like me, it's hidden somewhere so no one will ever know except the immediate family...(chuckle). I had a friend who had two little girls. Her closet had socks galore on the floor. Instead of digging through them she would go buy more socks....I helped fold them one time. Took a bit of time, lololol (just remembered that...now I don't feel so bad) ;)

[adelgadogomez123]

I love the smile and the confident atitude you have, never let that go because it´s something very special about you. =) Anthony

[kvalle1]

@adelgadogomez123 Thank you Anthony...I used to walk down the halls as a young person looking at my feet. I believe my walk with God has really brought me to a place of confidence in Him and I hope it's Him shining through me. I really really appreciate your kind and encouraging words, it means a lot! love and blessings...Karen :)

[adelgadogomez123]

@kvalle1 My pleasure =)

[williamsfilms1]

I'm sure many will say, wow she's just like me...

[kvalle1]

@williamsfilms1 Hello, William...you think so? You mean there are other procrastinators out there? lol thank you for the comment. Sorry the reply is so late. :)

[madlovescats2]

You are so funny Karen and this blog sounds like me. And I am partly blond lol lol

[kvalle1]

@madlovescats2 Hey, you...I was going through this video looking for someone...and saw I had not approved this comment...sorry...because it was funny. :) Oh, and I also realized I had a few comments on my Channel which I had not approved while looking for the lady in question and you were in there too...so I just approved all of them...but I can't make any comments on the Channel pages...so I am here. Love you..Ashleigh :)

[MyHeroSuzanne]

I love books :)

[kvalle1]

@MyHeroSuzanne Hello, Sebastian ...As you can tell, I do too...:) Karen

[allisonewe]

LOL...I love the sound effects and the video effects and the cute stories...the socks..love your style, your laugh, your smile, just everything...but you know what I would really love to see? Dont you? Dont you? LOL

[kvalle1]

@allisonewe Well, do not hold your breath...my friend. I do have my limits on how far I will make a fool out of myself, kinda, sorta...:) You are so mean to me...LOL, do you need some catnip. STOP!!! :D hahaha

[allisonewe]

@kvalle1 Do you have some catnip? lol

[kvalle1]

@allisonewe uh, no...but it sure was fun watching the kitty's roll around in it when we had kitty's. :)

[clovercooper]

@kvalle1 If Panther is being mean to you, just let me know..that is my pet..clover is already on restriction..that's why you havent seen her much, and SHE is the GOOD ONE!!! ALice

[kvalle1]

@clovercooper Well, Alice...I like both your pets, really very sweet with or without the catnip! :)

[ChristianCutie83]

You are such a great person. I laughed when you talked about walking around walmart with lipstick on your face. That was hilarious. Have a great day.

[kvalle1]

@ChristianCutie83 Hey, Cutie...just getting to some of my comments! Yes, that lipstick thing was very embarrassing but I've learned to go with the flow and laugh at myself, all my friends do to. They call it a 'Karen moment.' :) Can't blame it on age...been like that my whole life. ahahaha Have a wonderful day and up and coming week-end. You are a breath of fresh air...keep it up what you are doing! :) love, Karen

[thelordsfieldhand]

Don't let the haters get to you. Remember only Jesus is our judge in the end.

[kvalle1]

@thelordsfieldhand Thank you for that word of encouragement. They actually don't get to me too much, that's why I wrote that. They are too be pitied really, and I just pray for them...some people are so unhappy and miserable that's all they know how to give out...HA, it's probably my youngest son anyway...he can't watch my video's, they embarrass him too much...(chuckle) I never thought of that til just now. You know, you just have to laugh some things off...God bless, Karen :)

[cowgirlmoon]

ROFL!! You are a great storyteller, dear! (So balled, looks like his neck blew a bubble... Hahahahahahaha!) Love the sound effects too! God bless little Justin and you and your husband, as well. After all you've been through, it's no wonder God blessed you such a good sense of humor! Thanks for sharing your humor and your stories with all of us.

[kvalle1]

@cowgirlmoon Hello, there...I missed this comment. So sorry. Thank you so much for the encouraging words, it means a lot. You are a pretty funny lady too. You see, I do things like you, like accidentally spitting my gum out.;) I have not excuse...been like that since I was young. Some of my friends call them 'Karen moments'. :) Love, Karen :)

[JaelHouseProductions]

Awesome lady!!!

[kvalle1]

@JaelHouseProductions Thank you for your kind words...love, Karen

[SuperSenben]

Hahahahahahaha this made me laugh sooo much!!!

[kvalle1]

@SuperSenben Hello, Senben...:), thank you, you just made me smile, I really appreciate your comments and encouragement! Love ya, Karen

[lordsardonicvids]

You just... don't 'overcome' moments like your baby's passing, at all. You 'adapt' and LIVE with it. It is a part of your life from that point on. and you have to take whatever lesson is in that, and USE it to live. As HARD as it is to believe, i think everything has a reason, everything BAD, and good, shows us something.

You seem like a very bright sharp tool to me!.... wait... i mean, something else! LOL!

PEACE! :-}

[kvalle1]

@lordsardonicvids Thank you.I agree.It's a part of life,pain and sorrow,and fear of wondering if I could ever be a mom.I grew stronger in my faith as a result as I held on to Jesus.I had a vision before his death was confirmed. I had felt no movement for over a day, I was surrendering my baby to Jesus. I had to forgive the doctor, who told me, the worst thing they ever did was invent insulin because now diabetics live to reproduce diabetics, I did not really receive total healing til yrs.later.

[kvalle1]

@lordsardonicvids Anyway, there is a lot more to the story than what I shared on the vlog...God has given us two healthy children and one day I will see my little Justin. And yes, I am 'bright' when it comes to some things, or sharp or whatever...lol. thanks...Karen

[eMacKenzie98]

I'm so sorry about what happen to your baby. He's in heaven watching over you right now. He's an angel...god bless you!

[kvalle1]

@eMacKenzie98 I love you, Em...he's not an angel, but he is with Jesus...playing and one day I know that I will see him again. Hugs...Karen :)

[eMacKenzie98]

I love this video! I like the way you are and I love your sound effects and you're just so funny and I can't stop laughing when I'm watching your videos. If I'm having a bad day watching you do blog makes me happier!!!!

[kvalle1]

@eMacKenzie98 Hi, Em, I somehow missed this. Thank you, I am so blessed by you and your encouraging words to me. I am and hope I can continue to be a good 'role model,' and mentor to young people. I love young people...life is not as simple as it used to be. love you, Karen :)

[NatePinkyVideos]

you are the brightest cookie on the block in my book - LOLOL

[kvalle1]

@NatePinkyVideos Hehehehe...thanks Nate...the sad thing about that is it wasn't 'scripted.' Lee tells me to script...but that's when I give him this blank look...? love ya, and thanks for stopping by...hope you are all better now! :)

[NatePinkyVideos]

you are truly one of the best vloggers ever....it's like sitting with a friend....

[kvalle1]

@NatePinkyVideos Hi, Nate...you are very kind. Thanks, that made my day. Problem now is I don't know how I can keep it up..., ever get a brain fart? LoL

[NatePinkyVideos]

@kvalle1 you will keep it up! My brother Jerry is a professional brain farter!

[kvalle1]

@NatePinkyVideos Ahahahahahahha! hmmm, maybe we are related somewhere down the line? LOL

[SthanleytheKID]

aww im so sorry for your lost, i cant even imagine how you felt may GOD be with you!!

[kvalle1]

@SthanleytheKID Thank you again, God was definitely with us, but sometimes you just have to walk through the pain and sorrow one day at a time, but over time God took care of that, and now we have two grown kids (both boys), and my goodness, love them to pieces but often I've been reminded of a saying I once saw...Now I know why wild animals eat their young....LoL. Seriously, though, love my boys...i went through a lot to have children. I am grateful for them. Have a great day! :)

[SthanleytheKID]

@kvalle1 hahahaha im glad to hear that =D you're such a sweet lady. I'll stay tuned for new videos =D

[SthanleytheKID]

hahaha thats pretty funny lol... the lipstip on the face hahaha that killed me.

[kvalle1]

@SthanleytheKID Hi, Sthanley...yeah, God knows how to keep me humble...I kinda looked like a raggedy ann doll with bright red on each side of my face...I just had to laugh! ;)

[sonyvideoproductions]

Tumbs up :-)

@68NYC2 Hi, Teresa...thank you. Well, I haven't been able to be happy through it all, but I have had a great sense of God being present with me and even in the tough times I've been able to look back and see how it made me a better person, a stronger person because of it. I'm just glad I didn't walk and still don't walk through the storms alone...God is faithful. Joy is more than happiness...is it not? Thank you so much for the comment....:)Karen

[TabitaTsidkenu]

Me gustan los lentes, quiero unos así que ya no veo bien de lejos, y para leer, así que espero que Dios me de vigor y fortaleza en mi visión, sin lentes quedan mejor mis ojos;, pero esos me gustan creo que me quedarían bien en ese estilo, pero quiero mi vista 20-20, en Jesús. gracias por el vídeo, Megabendiciones y MegaAbracitos :)))

[kvalle1]

@TabitaTsidkenu Gracias por tu comentario! Voy a orar por los ojos! Creo que Dios puede sanar. Dios te bendiga. Karen :)

[888CSC]

Keep up the Excellent video's my friend ! Thumbs up and Infinite************stars !!!!! God Bless You and Yours ! Peace Always ! Chaz

[kvalle1]

@888CSC Hey, Chaz...thank you for your comment...you always have the best comments. You are a diabetic too? Ahahahaha...not playing with a full deck! That's funny, but seriously Chaz, it would help if whoever keeps hitting you on the head with a fry pan would stop...(chuckle). I, on the other hand have no excuse, maybe I should borrow your fry pan? hmmm, let me think about that.So, I hope you are taking care of yourself.. I have had this cursed diabetes for about 43 yrs. God has been faithful.:)

[Faith178]

lol, you're so funny! Loved the video, it was cute! =) God Bless you and your family!

[kvalle1]

@Faith178 lol, thank you, it was rather long, but I appreciate that you took the time to watch and enjoyed it. God Bless you, my friend and for your encouragement and prayers. love, Karen

[IMRUSTYJAMES]

thanx  loved it..u are awesome

[kvalle1]

@IMRUSTYJAMES Hey, thanks for stopping by and your very sweet comment...I don't know that I am awesome, but I am a 'tough old bird.' love ya, Karen :)

[LoneStarSurfandTurf]

Hi Karen!! Haha, what a great video...you are so entertaining and I hope that you stay just the way that you are, haha!! I'm so sorry to hear about your son...I can't imagine!! And I wasn't aware of your Diabetes!! Wow...you must do better with that pump huh?? It monitors your insulin levels and dispenses automatically?? That's a cool tool for sure, haha!! I hope that all is well with you Karen...take care and God Bless!!

Robert

[kvalle1]

@LoneStarSurfandTurf Robert, thank you, my friend! I love your visits, and glad you take the time to stop by and comment with your busy schedule. It means a lot. Well, the diabetes, the pump has helped a lot...I have a Blood Glucose machine (it fits in my purse) and I poke my finger (5 to 10 x's a day), put the blood on the strip and then the result is transmitted to the insulin pump, and then I give my self the appropriate amount of insulin by what it tells me. All is well, love ya my friend

[kvalle1]

@ForCarolToEnjoy :) thank you, I still have socks in a basket, it's just I actually fold them and put them away about every 2 to 2 weeks...we have a lot of socks...(chuckle)

[MrAeden]

@MrAeden Aiden, so far today, your gift and your words have brought me much blessing. Thank you so much my friend...you will never know how much I needed this today. love, Karen (now I'm tearing up again). He is my shelter in the storm, my refuge to whom I run too. Your grandchildren are blessed, Aiden, truly blessed, thank you for being my friend. . :)

[frugalnanny]

Thank you for sharing the babay story.

I just preached a my first still born funeral.

This is for my God niece.

I can not tell you how wonderful it was when God showed up to bring me through it.

Love Ya lady.

[fischer3x3]

thank you for sharing this video

[kvalle1]

@fischer3x3 Thank you for taking the time to watch, my friend. Karen :)

[kvalle1]

Respond to this video... ah, that is very sad, and I know God is always faithful at these times. God bless you and your God niece, Lord, give them strength and courage and bring healing into the void that is left. In Jesus Name, Amen

[luckyshaker]

Hi sister, great vidio, i've done that sock thing too lol. Anyway I just read a book "Heaven is for real" In it a boy died and went to heaven. He didn't know his parents had a miscarriage but when he recovered he told them he had met his sister in heaven." very interesting story. I think that is something you have to look forward too. God Bless.

[kvalle1]

@luckyshaker Thank you Stephen...I appreciate your comment and for the fact now I don't feel so bad! It's like, you tell a story like that and you find out that maybe you aren't so different or alone after-all. :) I'll have to look up that book.I know my sweet baby boy is in heaven and we actually have another little one too, I miscarried at about 8weeks.Diabetes actually played a role in both deaths. Took me a while to get over the feeling that it was my fault. JOY comes in the morning. Amen.

[HALLSYSKITCHEN]

hey those were some pretty neat sound effects at the beginning ....the bald joke and then noticed a bald guy nxt to you hehe...iv'e been there before....glad to here you are well.

[kvalle1]

@HALLSYSKITCHEN Hello, Hallsy! Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Always nice to hear from you. And yeah, I think we've all been there done that, Right? I put you in my box on my favoritesjust4me. You really do make delicious looking food and relatively simple, (I like simple). :) I hope you are doing well too as far as your back. Take care, and have a great week-end. :)

[2marcelop]

thanks

[kvalle1]

@2marcelop Welcome? :) Thank you for the comment...my friend. Karen :)

[33marsupilami]

Well done, discoursing fanatastic, 5000000000000000000000000°°°°°­°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°.

[kvalle1]

@33marsupilami ahh, Thank you...you are always so kind! Karen :)

[frugalnanny]

@kvalle1 you do not look your age at all.

a question please.

do you try any raw food things like the smoothy thing.

it works for my diabetic daughter.

[kvalle1]

@frugalnanny Hmmm, I almost missed this comment. No I haven't used anything like that, though I do like V8 and some of those specialty drinks you can buy at the store.

[4110fearnot]

It is always a blessing to watch your videos. I appreciate your honesty, your humor, and God shines with you. There are people you meet, and you know immediately that they are filled with the Spirit. In Galatians, the fruits of the Spirit are listed: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness. These words describe what I see in you. Such wonderful testimony to the glory of our God! Many blessings to you my friend :) ~~Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Team Shelby Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ~~

[kvalle1]

@4110fearnot Hello, Team Shelby. Thank you, this ministered to me so much. I am first and foremost, before anything else, a Christian, and it's my heart to shine for Jesus (although I am definitely not perfect). Thank you so much for this word of encouragement, love and support, it really means a lot. Love, Karen

[65patbill]

Hi Sister Karen,

I think you had a great idea on putting the socks in the basket. It sure beats looking under the bed for them.Now for the the clothes item you wore for three days I'm not even going there. . Now for the serious side. Karen there is not much I can say to comfort you about loosing a child other than he is waiting for you where there is no pain or sorrow. Pat and I lost three during pregnancy. It something that is always in your mind. God Bless you my friend Your Brother Bill.

.

[kvalle1]

@65patbill Hello, sweet Brother They weren't MY clothes items that didn't get cleaned, LOL, it was my hubby's, heehee. I'm glad he loves me so unconditionally. hahaha. As far as little Justin, there was resolution, I think the tears were more for my husband, because of the look of deep sorrow in his face not only for our baby, but because as a man he couldn't protect me or the baby, he had to endure watching me suffer as well as the loss of our first born. I am sorry for your loss too, Bill.Hugs

[katiesvideos555]

i have another question.... do you ever get discouraged if someone hits the dislike button on your videos?

how can i get over this lol its a little discoursing for me bc i create the videos myself

[kvalle1]

@katiesvideos555 Katie, pay those people never mind, just pray for them because most of them are haters, and they are bitter and mean people who just like going around trying to make other people's lives as miserable as theirs are. Honestly, I don't even know why Youtube has a dislike button except for those haters and trolls out there for the most part. If I don't like something, I just don't hit the like button. Do not take it personally...it's not about you, it's about their own hard hearts

[kvalle1]

@katiesvideos555 You are a sweetheart and so am I, LOL, who would do that to us...Get em God! ;)

[CCArisingForm]

Love & Appreciation:)

[kvalle1]

@CCArisingForm thank you, same back to you and more, my friend :) love, Karen

[THESURREALHIPPIE]

you are truly inspirational, enjoyed your video from start to finish. As far as socks go I've been wearing odd coloured socks since I left home, so there always in random places in the one drawer I'm allowed... My father was bald and my brother was by the age of 27...I've managed to keep about 3 quarters of mine, some how, in spite of being a worrier..oh well wish I was a few years younger also...lol take care Arden

[kvalle1]

@THESURREALHIPPIE Hi, Arden. Thank you! I was wondering if you were going to stop by! :) I started laughing when you mentioned your socks, haha! I hate folding socks, it still may take me weeks to get ALL the socks folded even if is only the hubby and me. As far as getting older? do you ever get up in the morning and look in the mirror and wonder who that stranger is looking back? lol but we still got a lot of life left to live, Arden! I ain't gettin' old without a fight, Botox anyone? ;)

[Dontgupt20]

Oh Karen, you are so funny!!!! This made me lmao.

Bless you and keep these videos coming!!!!!!

[kvalle1]

@Dontgupt20 Hi, Guppy...thank you! Love to make people laugh, but I just wanted to show people the 'other' side too. I guess the blond roots never really leave...*sigh* ;) love ya, keep makin' those awesome video's! love, Karen

[BILLMCLEANJAZZ]

Somebody just has poor eyesight -- they meant to hit the 'like' button but missed -- that's the only possible explanation for anyone hitting the thumbs down for this video. Thanks so much for the laughs -- and big {{hugs}} for the sad parts. God bless you and keep you well!

Smiles & hugs

Veronica :-)

[kvalle1]

@BILLMCLEANJAZZ Hello, Veronica...Hugs are always welcomed around here. Well, I think Jesus said to love those with 'poor eyesight,' didn't He? ;) I don't know why Youtube has the dislike buttons anyway, if you don't like a video then just ignore and don't like it. I am not overly concerned...just a sign of the times. Thank you so much for your love and support, means a lot. Give Bill a hug too! Have a great day. Karen :)

[katiesvideos555]

i wanna know did you like school growing up?

[kvalle1]

@katiesvideos555 Hello, sweet friend...there were times I liked school in the early years, but as I got older in jr. high and up, I started hating school, not just because of the academics. I was shy and always felt like a third wheel. I felt ugly, worthless and fat...a lot of typical feeling young people may go through, and when I became a diabetic at the age of 12yrs, I started fighting depression big time! They gave me books to read and I went into denial because I was afraid.So NO, disliked!

[kvalle1]

@310JODIEE Hello, sweet Jodie, Cookie ain't goin' nowhere for awhile...got too much to do and accomplish. God is going to do something wonderful in the days ahead...but I want you to be prepared...I think we are going to face some serious and challenging times...we are going to need to depend on God more than ever. And yes, I've got two babies in heaven...I got pregnant five months later (I was suppose to wait 6). I am so sorry for your loss too, Jod. I wish I could give you a real hug! Lovexxoo

[ScarfTree]

1 person has a basket full of stinky socks and is a shame to admit it. finally a new vlog, karen! great job =D tell lee i said to keep up the work too!

[kvalle1]

@ScarfTree Hello, Sam...I am so glad you came by...and so is the basket full of stinky socks yours? :) Oh, and btw, you better keep coming around...you don't have to comment on all those other guys...but you better not forget me...or I will have to come after you! You've become very special to me Sam, you and Anida both. love ya, mama grizz...:)

[ScarfTree]

@kvalle1 no, karen...thats just a trendy youtube way of commenting when u notice someone dislikes the video and u say something insulting that number of ppl that disliked it.  basically sticking up for you =P come on, partner!

[kvalle1]

@ScarfTree :) thank you Sam, means a lot. I was told you can contact Youtube and they can find out who hits the dislike button...I'm not sure...but I will tell you this...you just made my day. Thanks Sam, you are just a special young man...and a good friend on here! love ya, Karen

[blinko656]

@creektrouble Donna, I love you too. I don't know what I would have done without the Lord in my life. I've cried many tears, had many disappointments. last 10years has been one where I thought i would surely drown in a sea of hopelessness at times, and then God would pick me up and turn me around. I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am not a perfect person by any means, I am just saved by Grace. Have a great week. (((Hugs))), Karen :)

I think you are a breath of fresh air. Also, I find your vlogs most entertaining because off the additional effects you put in. Thank you for sharing your stories...LOL! walking through Walmart with Lipstick on your cheeks. Al :)

@TheDarksEmpyrean Hey, Wacky Al, who is also a very sweet Al as I can see from that comment. My husband is the one who puts the special effects in, without him I would be just a 'plain jane.' :) Have a great week, my friend. Karen
