God bless you Ebony for your testimony! I too am learning to rest in God's will and it's not easy for me since I'm quite the independent woman. God truly is a faithful Father and will perfect what He has started in you. I'm learning in peculiar ways to love and give myself to my status in life right now as a stay at home mom till His opportune time when He'll orchestrate the next phase of my life. I pray the same for you and yours in Jesus' name, amen!
I came on here looking for the mommy wig cause I'm tired if being a slave to long hair weaves and here I get a testimony about being a slave to the enemy. This was no mistake. Hallelujah!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD for this on time, most relevant Word!!! I'm sick of allowing myself to be a puppet to the enemy! I humbly submit to Your Will for my life in Jesus' name!
My Dear Sister in the Lord, know that the Lord loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Jer.29:11! I am a mother of 5 children the youngest is now 20 years old. Please know that the ministry the Lord has you As a wife and mother to your children is the best place you can be in right now. Believe me the years are going to fly by and before you know it you will be in another phase in your life and you will continue in that phase to do wonderful things in the kingdom, to the Glory of the
Thank you so much for sharing!! Many times we look at our situation and think we are the only one going though...your post reminds me to thank God even when I don't understand what he's doing...to put complete trust in him cause he knows best! May God continue to "make use over".
Lord, I can't stop the tears and emotions because honestly this is my current situation EXACTLY! I wish I could really truly express how hearing your testimony has blessed me, I needed this! God is good! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
con't... You didn't know that your prayer had been answered already. I don't know why I am in my personal position(it's bad!), but even though I'm not in my word like I should be and I am not praying like I should, I still believe God is in control. I PRAY that I have a testimony soon! Thanka you so much for your bravery- giving your testimony. XOXO
I have been going through! Things have been so bad for years now. Hearing your testimony has been a powerful experience for me. To hear that you were in fact in your blessing and not know it, is big.
I am a little late watching this, but through it I realized our former selves are a lot alike. However, I'm a newlywed with no kids. I ended up marrying a social butterfly with a close-knit family, and I'm learning about myself everyday as I get used to dealing with things I was never familiar with. Now I know God is just giving me what I need to be the person I'm destined to be, not necessarily the one I wanted to be in my former self. Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing.
Wow....over the last few weeks I thought I had simply found someone whose natural hair looks really good and I wanted to follow their channel! Then I come across this and I'm blown away. Thank u so much for sharing your testimony and transparency with us, you're not alone in your struggles. U have no idea of how much you have touched something within ME and my own stuff....thank you thank you and God bless!
Thank God! I felt a knot in my stomach when you said God reveals things. God just revealed to me that I wasn't listening to Him and now I am going thru some trials as a result of that. Listening to your testimony lets me know that I can make it through! thank you and stay blessed
Oh my God! I am in tears listening to you. This is just what I needed. Thank you for sharing your testimony and GOD to the world. God is going to do something spectacular in your life. I cannot wait to hear it.
Wonderful testimony! May the Lord continue to order your steps! Stick to the Word and in God's presence like glue and you will continue to overcome! Great job!
i want to encourage you my sister, i have and still am in the same situation as you. my husband and i have a total of 6 children in our blended family and i know how you feel. and i want to let you know is that you have encouraged me and i have confirmed a lot of what God has presented to me as my purpose. i am still struggling with it but i have accepted it. Stay strong and stay in prayer.
This video truly blessed me!!!!!! i went through the same depression and the Lord kept reminding me HE was honoring my prayers...to raise my children while my husband provide for us. There were times when satan would try to discourage me. So hearing that my sister in Christ went through the same. Be encouraged sister!! We are raising mighty children for the Glory of God!! Be blessed!!!!!!
Stay close to God and give it all to Him. Rebuke the spirit of depression. Wrap it up in the power of His word and promise, then hand it over to Him to deal with. Be blessed.
IM LYING HERE WATCHING AND ENJOYING YOUR VIDEOS AND YOU JUST BLESSED ME WHEN THIS ONE POPPED UP! THANK YOU! I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THIS ...GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING :) STAY BEAUTIFUL!
Wow, so touching. Thank you so much for sharing! There are so many of us who are in or have been in the boat of being a stay at home mom. I'm convinced its the toughest job in the world with no holidays or 401k but the benefits nothing could ever compare to. What a blessing to have a good husband for support. I hope you have a successful and happy marriage. I love watching your videos and now knowing that you are a sister of mine in Christ makes it even more enjoyable. Take care :o)
O my goodness I just found your videos while searching for make up and natural hair tutorials and right after subscribing to you I stumbled upon this video and less then half way in I had goose bumps. I almost cut it off because it scared me how right on the money your testimony was, but I know it was the spirit that led me to it..... Still in tears. I have two kids and just became a housewife 2 yrs ago so... whew GOD is good.
Hi Ebony! I just wanted to say that your revelation is also my revelation. I am also an African American woman, a lover of hair and makeup, a believer, a housewife but with two kids, a sufferer of depression and a woman who God is trying to make over. You are TRULY BLESSED, inspirational, and a blessing to others with your testimony and the work that you do on your channel. I am so comforted by the other comments of other women as well. We are not alone! Thank u so much & God Bless!
And I am a witness that He is a husband and a father indeed! I cannot thank Him enough for every need is provided. Today was hard for me...but when I looked around the house my sons and I prayed for and every provision made when I couldn't make ends meet....How great is our God! Satan is a liar and seeks to kill, steal and destroy. But our God is mighty in battle and we are more than conquerors through Him! Nothing can separate us.Continue with Him and let Jesus shine through you.
But I tell you what I have learned about our God...He is faithful to complete the work He begins in us. It is not about me or my desires it is about Him. And my Sister when we stand before Him we should want Him to say well done...we have got to lay it all on the line that others see Jesus! He shows us ourselves, so that we may know how we need Him. Every trial, adversity and difficulty should lead us to the cross on bended knee.
I have seen you before and I must say I enjoyed this. Being a Believer does not mean we are called for continuous good times. Dying to self is painful. The Lord seeks to transform us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. What ever state we are in we must learn to be content and trust His will. I am a single mother of 3 sons. I work a lot and have missed out on my activities or firsts. Not a great feeling. I wished I were at home raising a family and being a help meet.
Ebony you don't even know how much this video meant to me. I to am struggling with the same thing you just revealed. Being a stay @ home mother of two and a wife at 25 has it's challenges and many ppl dont understand especially my friends. I'm hoping to reach that point in my life as you did. It's still a working progress..... Anyway I say that to say this THANK YOU!!!! Ps - my name is Ebony too :)
Thank you for being so clear and open. I was a stay @ home mom for a yr. after I had my youngest. And for a while I felt the same way about staying @ home then the Lord showed me the reason why I made to be @ home. Keep growing. And I do believer that everything happens for reason. Enjoy your children. They will remember these times when they get older. And yes the devil is going to talk to you if you aren't in your Word. Happy New Year.
WOW!!!! Beautiful testimony. I was experiencing the same exact thing. I felt the same exact way as you. I came to the realization that I have to except God's will for my life. God bless you.
What an amazing testimony....Ebony, thanks for sharing so much of yourself...Your wisdom is beyond your years...I am 41 years old..so I know that your prayer and faithfulness in the Creator makes it all possible.
I viewed CandidAnn's VR to your testimony first and then viewed yours. Between the two of you, you both are making some type of impact on me in a great way. I've struggled so much with "religion" and not so much with my connectedness or spirituality with God or the higher power as I sometimes refer to Him but just the separation of it all and how my family has affected my life in that respect. I praid the New Year in and watched YTvids until 3am and I'm grateful to have come across yours.
Praise God, This was a very moving testimony and for the first time after watching this vid I cried for a few minutes because even though what I'm going through in my marriage I for the first time realized that what I've prayed for has come to light that relates to my children . I'm not understanding why I'm going through what I'm going through with my marriage but I'm sure that will be revealed in time meanwhile I've overcome the enemy and God has removed the darkness I was feeling about myself
Wow, it's like you're me! That's what I have felt and still feel! I'm in the process too, of realizing what my life is with God and how the plans He's got for me is better than what I thought it would be. lol I'm sitting here, trying not to cry. I thought I'd be in NY right now ( I did music, so I thought I'd be there, playing with the NY Philharmonic), too. But this life, the life God told me to take a chance on, was the best decision I've ever made. I'm a wife and mother, and I regret not.
Oh My God.....girl if aren't telling my testimony..about how I'm a housewife, and I'm supposed to be at home taking care of my kids, my home, and my husband. My parents raised me to be very independant. Oh my God we have a blended family as well, my husband had two children from a previous marriage. I only wanted one child. Girl we now have 6 kids. My prayer is Lord make me over as well...I have been fighting so many demons. Jesus.Girl I'm with you...Wow
Thanks for sharing..I was suppose to hear this.Thanks for being obedient..I honestly can relate to so much of what you said. Thanks for blessing me and lifting me from my cloud.
I just subscribed to your channel and as watching your video's I came across this one and was moved. I was and sorta of still am was bread the same and I wanted different things for myself. I am learning that I have to pray more, be in the word more and let God's plans for my life and family come to life. Thank you, you are beautiful.
Baby, i got you. I understand exactly what you are saying. I just want you to know that i love you so much and i appreciate your honesty and testimony. Thank you so much, you are such a blessing.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It is very touching and encouraging. Encouraging to know that prayers are still being answered and that God is working on our behalf! Stay encourage, congratulations on the new addition to the family, and I pray that your strength continue to grow stronger in the Lord! I pray that Gods will be done in your life and your family! God bless and stay encouraged!
This video spoke a thousand words to me this morning. Most of the things we were talking about, I, myself, can relate to. I'm not in the same position as you i terms of having my own family (husband/kids), but just like you i'm an only child, had numerous plans from a young age to do things with an unstoppable drive to do things independently, so when i noticed attacks running rampant in my life, it knocked me for six!! The crazy th-..... u know what?! Inbox me! My calling is to intercede.
OMG!!! The way you were is me right now, I needed to see this. I have a large family and a business that I am closing Saturday because I had to choose. This business was my dream and I am in such a tough place right now. I can't put it all in this comment, but thanks.
I bind the hand of the enemy off your mind and your husband's mind in the name of Jesus and let the peace of God guard your heart mind with all diligence. Love u sis im keeping you in my prayers .im actually dying from the same thing an independant mindset.God is able to keep (that which we commit to Him) our minds on Him on things above and not on this earth ..keep praying and keep seek Him in all your ways in His word He'll direct your path and give grace to do what YOU can't
God bless you sis. I pray that you continue to walk, with Christ strong.. I pray that His stength (which God promised) is made perfect in your weakness. He is in control and God has greater plans for you and your family than you know. I pray that the joy of the Lord fall so heavily upon and I bind up all ounces of depression and I loose joy peace and a sound mind over u right now in the name Jesus.i speak a joy over you that even you children feel it even the unborn baby and your husband.
You are Blessed and a Blessing!! Thank You So Much for sharing byour heart and your life. God gives you what is for you when it is time for it. Don't fret. God has you in his hands.
Love this video. A pastor made me realize that I needed to give up my worldy ambitions and let God direct me. His plan for you is always going to be bigger and better than anything you could plan for yourself. The bible says if you come and follow Jesus he will renew you and make you a fisher of men. I am glad that some youtube divas that I admire Love the Lord! Amen!
WOW your Testimony really touched me. I'm a newlywed who was laid off 10 months ago....I'm Now a Housewife. I never thought in my wildest dream that i would be home all day cooking and cleaning. The enemy has been in my ear telling me I'm bored and many other things. You have encouraged me to keep on keeping on. What I had plan for my life isn't exactly what GOD has planned.
GOD BLESS YOU SIS, PRAYING FOR YOU AND I ALSO DO VIDZ AND ALOT ON ENCOURAGMENT SO IT BLESSES ME TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE AND A PART OF YOUR TESTIMONY IS SIMILAR TO MINE! I AM PREGNANT ALSO AND WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE SAME THINGS AND GOD ALSO HAS ME HOME! WE ALSO HAVE BLENDED FAMILY ALSO.... BUT GOD HAS MADE SOOOO MANY WAYS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY! BUT ANYWHO GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHEN HE ASSIGNS YOU TO A THING YOU WILL NOT FAIL, NOR WILL HE SPEAK A THING TO YOU AND HAVE YOU GO UNDER!
I am literally weeping at this moment. God just spoke to me through you.God Bless YOU! everything that you have mentioned i can relate. Thank you for sharing this. I didnt even expect this. God works in mysterious ways. Here i am watching makeup this morning and just skimming youtube and i stumble upon this. God is so good. you are in my prayers. Thank you Jesus!
God is GOOD!!! Your thanking others But im thanking you! It seems as if your a split image of me, we had the same admirations but God had another plan for us (housewives) You just inspired me to meditate on what Gods plans for me and humble myself. Thanks again for sharing!
Sounds like you have surrendered to God's will. You know the clay does not feel good on the potters wheel, I bet. But the end results is something beautiful. In your surrender you will find success. Keep the FAITH!
YOU ARE RIPPING UP YOU TUBE WITH THE TRUE WITNESSING. WOMEN IN THE KINGDOM SHUTTING DOWN MISEDUCATION. WE SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL WHEN WE TAKE CARE OF HOMES. (SHOUTING -ALL CAPS) YOU ARE REACHING PEOPLE YOU COULDNT POSSIBLE HAVE KNOWN. KEEP WALKING YOUR ANOITING. #THISTHINGHASGONE WORLD WIDE!
This video is WONDERFUL! What a blessing u r 2 so many ppl watching ur channel. It is amazing how true the Word is! "they overcame by the word of their testimony" We (born again believers) have much more n common than what we think. I praise God 4 your healing and repositioning! I am a 1st Lady, stepmom, 'domestic engineer' (stay at hm mom) and was raised just like u...BUT GOD!!! Keep calm & carry on! God's plan is PERFECT-not painless-BUT PERFECT NONETHELESS! You've got what it takes!
Wow this is something that I needed to hear. I feel the same way I do not know this role that I am currently in right now and I have been suffering from depression and other craziness since I found out I was pregnant. I never imagined that I would be in this role let alone at this time in my life I just pray that God gives me the strength to accept the path that he has chosen for me God bless you.
Girlfriend, God's plans for you are thoughts of peace not of evil, to give you a hope and an expected end. Love your testimony. The Lord is your strength and Helper. I'm inspired by your testimony. May God bless you sister. xoxo
ur testimony n growth is really a blessing it so nice to see other believers on yt. wish u had a series or channel dedicated to ur walk with Christ. i would love to c that xx
God Bless you in your growth. Now t hat God has your attention, and put things in the right perspective....your new journey begins....Keep the tutorials coming as you have time. As a 50 year old, I have learned so much from you. Believe me your children will be grown before you know it, and they will bring little people to your house calling you grandma!....Be Blessed...=)
nnlyrae Omgoodness....Ebony just let God order your steps ..he has soooo much for you and your family.Your testimony touch my heart and i know your helping so many people that are in similar situation.Let go let God ...you have truly blessed me!!!You are beautiful person inside and out....and i thought i was just getting makeup tips...much prayer much love.Thx
Ebony, bless you for sharing you testimony. I totally identify with having your world turned completely around after submitting to the will of God. I wish I had not been taught to be independent because it would be easier for me to accept God's will for me and to trust Him, and to understand what trusting Him looks like and not get that confused with...."depending on a man". Be encouraged as you walk with the Lord. Keep witnessing because He is speaking to others through you.
Oh my goodness what a testimony!! I'm at the place you "were in" I'm so lost right now with wanting to know what my life purpose is! What you are doing by being a "housewife" is the biggest job you can have in this life. You have the responsibility of bringing these children, your husband and his children forward in this world. God is never wrong. You have really helped me with my path and I Thank You. His spirit will be with you, just keep your spirit open and in receiving mode.
I would like to say that I dont usually comment on youtube(very rare)!!! And all I can say is this has touched home for me in so many ways...thank you! It literally almost brought me to tears..I too am preg(13 wks) first child..30yrs old. And had no idea that my life would take me in the direction it has. BUT i too am so thankful for these life lessons..and I have to remember everytime im in the "clouds" God has a better plan for our lives!...Thank u sista...blessings to you u and ur family..:-)
This is exactly what I needed to hear, right now, TODAY! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing. I am in that place of learning to accept God's plan for my life even when it looks/feels/smells very different from my own plan. Between the Rock and a hard place... Thanks again.
The safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God. Keep on praying, seeking, and knocking; you shall reap if you faint not. Keep rollin with God. He is the author and finisher of your faith. Greatness comes in many forms - and you have greatness all over you. You're closer than you think and closer than what the enemy would have you to believe.
I love you girl! I so see myself in you. It seems as if I am struggling with a few similar issues. I'll keep you in my prayers and hope you continue to seek gods well.
Hi, i just wanted to say , u uplifted me and iam not even a christian....iam now begining to rethink about my life and that maybe god does have a purpose for me too, thanx for helping a lost sheep. !
wow @ the grieving process of dying to self completely and daily....the lord started teaching me that lesson a couple of months ago.particularly being a "living sacrifice"...i'm still in denial about it, i guess i'm grieving but it's like hard to fathom surrendering complete control to christ at the same time, it's a great great desire of my heart...I just don't want Him to give up on me..
@stop08it isn't it funny how we don't think twice about grieving the loss of a loved one, but we never think about it for other things like loss of a job, loss of a marriage, or loss of self. There is definitely a mourning period involved in dying to self and I am right there with you!
My words are not my own these are the words i am to speake to you. This is his message to you through me. Continue to move foward and leave whats on your mind behind you. It is not for u to understand at this point because he isn't ready for u to know yet. He will show u in a few days what it means.
Only then would u be able to be shown full circle what he needs from you. He sees in you a messenger for his harvest. In you his word will spread to those who need to hear it most. In you your famliy will grow in the word and become whole in the word. Until now u were never ready for this task. It's your time now and he will show u more and more now what he needs from you.
Honey i heard u and felt you and this is what i am to tell u. You are not a house wife your task is to show your children God and be the path way that keeps your family rooted in God and his teachings. If you had done the things u wanted to do u would have turned your back on what he had for u to do. He lead u down this path for 3 years because u didn't take the time to really listen to what he wanted you ro hear. He wanted to break u to the point u were ready to submit to his will.
I can't say I've experienced all u talked abt. But I can say I've experienced the grievance it's so ironic this video was posted on Nov 5 which was my husband bday he was killed 4years ago and I thought I would never love again but God is awesome. I can go on and on but I'm truley thankful for ur testimony. God Bleas
wow, I cried @ your Testimony. I love God, cause he knows the right time for everything. I love God. I'm typing and still Crying, cause I look back myself and wonder how I got over. Bless His Holy name.
I've prayed and prayed and asked God for understanding and to guide me in getting control of my unhappiness...nothing! So I'm just going to continue to pray and wait for Him to show me my purpose. Thank you so much for sharing. I never imagined some one else going through something so similar. I'm so happy for your breakthrough and wish you and your family continued blessings!!
@preciousthanrubies i feel you but i'm still praying but im naming and listing the things that make me unhappy and i'm working on changing them one at a time and praying for the strength and courage to cross off everything on that list try it may work for you
Hi! I just want to say that this was very eye-opening to me. My war IS just the opposite. I am a stay-at-home mom my husband and I have 5 kids (together) and I'm so depressed about it. I always saw myself as this strong, independent woman, working, you know handleling my business. I've been in this position for a little over 8 years now and it's really been hell. There are other circumstances surrounding why I feel the way I do as far as the relationship goes, but....continued
it doesnt feel good to get to see yourself as you are, but we know God corrects those that He loves..and i dont know you but I certainly love you too.. Stay strong and stay on the path God has chosen for you...everything else will fade but our treasure is in heaven..so continue storing those things up and you will get a real reward when you get there..something that no one can take from you and that will not be based on worldly success. I am even encouraged to dig deeper now. God bless you.
hi...my sister turned me on to your page..and i am so glad she did..i can relate..it is not weird...i was supposed to be a big time song writer right now and my husband a big time producer..which we both were in the position to do..he was actually signed to Badboy and I was on my way to a writing deal with Warner Bro. But God changed our hearts and I am a mother of 3 now and homeschooling all my kids, he is Min. of Music and we sing@ church for FREE. Nothing is betr than being in the will of God
Being a housewife is not the only thing you can be. Honestly, I respect your faith but if you feel unsatisfied and bored with where you are right now, don't try to fit into that box. You WILL grow to resent it. Wanting to fulfill personal goals is NOT selfish. Be the best you can be for your children, but don't necessarily equate "best" with the role of the housewife if you have a yearning for more. All the best!
i have been going through the same EXACT situation w/ myself. I am now thankful for the chance to give my children an abundance of ME! Which is more important than anything that I can buy them. I now know that there is NOTHING wrong w/ being "destined to be a housewife". this just means that ur influance on ur household far outweigh any other influance bcuz u r THERE to combat the nonsence of the enemy. u are the doorway to ur family and anything that tries to come in has to go through u!
I respect Christianity and your spiritual path, but I ask you to reconsider how you see God's force in your life. Just because something is not easy or not right now doesn't mean 'God' has closed that door. And for heavens sake, you have thousands of followers. You were not "destined" to be a housewife.
I watched this video when you first posted it, and you have been on my mind ever since. When you stated that you wanted to be in New York and other places, God spoke to me and I just want to encourage you. I wanted to tell you that although you are not physically in New York, God has elevated you to reach people, not only in New York, but all over the world. You are not just a housewife! We serve an awesome God who can dream bigger than we ever could! God bless you, and your family.
Your realness is appreciated.To open our hearts and bear one another's burdens helps us grow. I can relate to givng up "my plan" for the Lord's. I have learned that God has so much more in store for me than I can plan for myself. In my "giving up" I received much more. He also has a way of fulfilling our desires when we seek to be obedient to his will above our own. Seek first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Matt 6:33 Blessings to you Ebony!
It was yesterday that I thought of you, a television program came on,the actress looked just like you and I said to myself, she looks just like Ebony, I pray that her pregnancy is going well..and I found your video response to review this morning, god is connecting his people,on time!
Thanks for sharing your candid testimony--a lot of truth here, especially about the enemy moving in when we become distanced from God (guilty as charged).
I'd appreciate any prayers you are (or anyone else is) compelled to send up.
Praise God!!! I have been running from being a housewife for years. I did not think it was glamorous enough. God brought meto understand that we are all designed for a specific purpose, and mine was not to be that psychologist, writing in psychological journals, but to be a virtuous woman, supporting my wonderful husband, and raising my three boys to be beautiful Black MEN! Dont run from it, embrace your gift, dont let the enemy attack. A wife and mother is POWERFUL!Amen
BTW, I don't quite understand why you don't realize that you are "traveling" the world. Although you may not be there physically, from the beginning of your YT "career" you have touched many lives all over the world. Your ministry and influence is far-reaching without ever having left the comfort of your home. Even though obedience doesn't seek rewards, you will always end up rewarded. I hope you now realize who and what you truly are. Awesome and Blessed!!!!
Wow! Do you have any idea how many thousands of women you have blessed by just saying "thank you?" I've been in a similar situation as well, but I left my home, got my perfect job, and in 4 months my household became total chaos. I cried all the way home when I quit that job; but now I praise God everyday when I look at the amazing, smart, wonderful, young Christian black people he put in my care. They would not be who they are if I had not put my pride aside and been obedient.
Keep following the plan that the Lord has for you, sweetheart. You are now placed into a position to be an instrument for the Lord. What beautiful music you are playing in HIS name....
Thank you so much for being transparent with us. Your testimony has helped me to realize that I can appreciate where I am today. I've spent years trying to "get back to me". In the process I forgot to appreciate my hubby and children and all that they offered me. I understand exactly how you felt about trying to pursue goals and the Lord closing doors with another purpose. I am learning to trust Him and know that I am where He wants me to be. He may take me another route, but I'll still make it!
Hi Ebony, I feel so blessed that God led me to your channel a few weeks ago. I can tell you are a beautiful person inside/out and I pray for God's peace, love, and joy to dwell in your heart and your home always.
Thank you for this testimony beacuse I am taking this as a wake up call. I would watch your videos and be in awe at how talented beautiful you are. NEVER would I have thought that you were struggling with depression. The old saying you can't judge a book by its cover comes to mind now...Being a child of God is soo not easy in this day and age. For you to admit that trusting in God allowing him to work in your life is a struggle is a true beauty. I too share all these exereinces you mentioned.
I just want to thank you for exposing yourself. There's a saying exposure brings closure. I'm experiencing a situation which is very close to yours. The whole independent thing I can relate to especially when you've been raised to be that way. The Lord is working thru you to reach myself and others. I struggle with losing control of things and being my spouse dependent. I currently live in the caribbean and I use to live in NJ and worked in NYC. Sister girl I know what road blocks are
You're singing my song. The world needs more transparency. In the last several weeks God has inclined my ears to hear and my eyes to see the underlying pain many women are experiencing. When one is bold enough to speak truth healing can begin for others. God bless you, Ebony.
Girl....GOD USED YOU IN A MIGHTY WAY!!! Your testimony spoke to so many people (me included). Your story is so familiar to me...but that must mean God has a blessing for us both! Halleluah! My prayers go out to you. Allow Him to continue to work through you and in you, girl.
Greetings Ebony!you are a light and you are shining even brighter than you were before the retreat. I thank you for sharing your testimony. It's not an easy thing to do to pour your heart out.especially to people you don't know.But having a support of brothers and sisters in Christ, will make you stronger.When 2 or more agree it is done.sister' you are well. and TRUSTING in HIS deliverance will make you appreciate His majestic power even more. God bless you and may you continue to be a blessing
Oh my i just came across this video and ur channel and this explains alot of what i am going through and why. I totally understood what u said. When we pray to God and ask for things like patience, change and etc that the road to it is not easy. Were being molded and tried everyday and dying to self is a very difficult process but yet so neccesary if we want to be what God has called us to be.
This is soooo inspiring. I thank God for your life. I'm amazed at the work of God, may God continue to strengthen you and keep you.

God bless you Ebony for your testimony! I too am learning to rest in God's will and it's not easy for me since I'm quite the independent woman. God truly is a faithful Father and will perfect what He has started in you.

I am a little late watching this, but through it I realized our former selves are a lot alike. However, I'm a newlywed with no kids. I ended up marrying a social butterfly with a close-knit family, and I'm learning about myself everyday as I get used to dealing with things I was never familiar with. Now I know God is just giving me what I need to be the person I'm destined to be, not necessarily the one I wanted to be in my former self. Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing.

I am also an African American woman, a lover of hair and makeup, a believer, a housewife but with two kids, a sufferer of depression and a woman who God is trying to make over. You are TRULY BLESSED, inspirational, and a blessing to others with your testimony and the work that you do on your channel. I am so comforted by the other comments of other women as well. We are not alone! Thank u so much & God Bless!

And I am a witness that He is a husband and a father indeed! I cannot thank Him enough for every need is provided. Today was hard for me...but when I looked around the house my sons and I prayed for and every provision made when I couldn't make ends meet....How great is our God! Satan is a liar and seeks to kill, steal and destroy. But our God is mighty in battle and we are more than conquerors through Him! Nothing can separate us.Continue with Him and let Jesus shine through you.

But I tell you what I have learned about our God...He is faithful to complete the work He begins in us. It is not about me or my desires it is about Him. And my Sister when we stand before Him we should want Him to say well done...we have got to lay it all on the line that others see Jesus! He shows us ourselves, so that we may know how we need Him. Every trial, adversity and difficulty should lead us to the cross on bended knee.

I have seen you before and I must say I enjoyed this. Being a Believer does not mean we are called for continuous good times. Dying to self is painful. The Lord seeks to transform us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. What ever state we are in we must learn to be content and trust His will. I am a single mother of 3 sons. I work a lot and have missed out on my activities or firsts. Not a great feeling. I wished I were at home raising a family and being a help meet.

Praise God, This was a very moving testimony and for the first time after watching this vid I cried for a few minutes because even though what I'm going through in my marriage I for the first time realized that what I've prayed for has come to light that relates to my children . I'm not understanding why I'm going through what I'm going through with my marriage but I'm sure that will be revealed in time meanwhile I've overcome the enemy and God has removed the darkness I was feeling about myself

I thought I'd be in NY right now ( I did music, so I thought I'd be there, playing with the NY Philharmonic), too. But this life, the life God told me to take a chance on, was the best decision I've ever made. I'm a wife and mother, and I regret not.

Ebony, bless you for sharing you testimony. I totally identify with having your world turned completely around after submitting to the will of God. I wish I had not been taught to be independent because it would be easier for me to accept God's will for me and to trust Him, and to understand what trusting Him looks like and not get that confused with...."depending on a man". Be encouraged as you walk with the Lord. Keep witnessing because He is speaking to others through you.

Stay strong and stay on the path God has chosen for you...everything else will fade but our treasure is in heaven..so continue storing those things up and you will get a real reward when you get there..something that no one can take from you and that will not be based on worldly success. I am even encouraged to dig deeper now. God bless you.

hi...my sister turned me on to your page..and i am so glad she did..i can relate..it is not weird...i was supposed to be a big time song writer right now and my husband a big time producer..which we both were in the position to do..he was actually signed to Badboy and I was on my way to a writing deal with Warner Bro. But God changed our hearts and I am a mother of 3 now and homeschooling all my kids, he is Min. of Music and we sing@ church for FREE. Nothing is betr than being in the will of God

Being a housewife is not the only thing you can be. Honestly, I respect your faith but if you feel unsatisfied and bored with where you are right now, don't try to fit into that box. You WILL grow to resent it. Wanting to fulfill personal goals is NOT selfish. Be the best you can be for your children, but don't necessarily equate "best" with the role of the housewife if you have a yearning for more. All the best!

i have been going through the same EXACT situation w/ myself. I am now thankful for the chance to give my children an abundance of ME! Which is more important than anything that I can buy them. I now know that there is NOTHING wrong w/ being "destined to be a housewife". this just means that ur influance on ur household far outweigh any other influance bcuz u r THERE to combat the nonsence of the enemy. u are the doorway to ur family and anything that tries to come in has to go through u!

I respect Christianity and your spiritual path, but I ask you to reconsider how you see God's force in your life. Just because something is not easy or not right now doesn't mean 'God' has closed that door. And for heavens sake, you have thousands of followers. You were not "destined" to be a housewife.

I watched this video when you first posted it, and you have been on my mind ever since. When you stated that you wanted to be in New York and other places, God spoke to me and I just want to encourage you. I wanted to tell you that although you are not physically in New York, God has elevated you to reach people, not only in New York, but all over the world. You are not just a housewife! We serve an awesome God who can dream bigger than we ever could! God bless you, and your family.

Your realness is appreciated.To open our hearts and bear one another's burdens helps us grow. I can relate to givng up "my plan" for the Lord's. I have learned that God has so much more in store for me than I can plan for myself. In my "giving up" I received much more. He also has a way of fulfilling our desires when we seek to be obedient to his will above our own. Seek first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Matt 6:33 Blessings to you Ebony!

Thanks for sharing your candid testimony--a lot of truth here, especially about the enemy moving in when we become distanced from God (guilty as charged).
I'd appreciate any prayers you are (or anyone else is) compelled to send up.

Praise God!!! I have been running from being a housewife for years. I did not think it was glamorous enough. God brought meto understand that we are all designed for a specific purpose, and mine was not to be that psychologist, writing in psychological journals, but to be a virtuous woman, supporting my wonderful husband, and raising my three boys to be beautiful Black MEN! Dont run from it, embrace your gift, dont let the enemy attack. A wife and mother is POWERFUL!Amen

BTW, I don't quite understand why you don't realize that you are "traveling" the world. Although you may not be there physically, from the beginning of your YT "career" you have touched many lives all over the world. Your ministry and influence is far-reaching without ever having left the comfort of your home. Even though obedience doesn't seek rewards, you will always end up rewarded. I hope you now realize who and what you truly are. Awesome and Blessed!!!!

Wow! Do you have any idea how many thousands of women you have blessed by just saying "thank you?" I've been in a similar situation as well, but I left my home, got my perfect job, and in 4 months my household became total chaos. I cried all the way home when I quit that job; but now I praise God everyday when I look at the amazing, smart, wonderful, young Christian black people he put in my care. They would not be who they are if I had not put my pride aside and been obedient.

Thank you so much for being transparent with us. Your testimony has helped me to realize that I can appreciate where I am today. I've spent years trying to "get back to me". In the process I forgot to appreciate my hubby and children and all that they offered me. I understand exactly how you felt about trying to pursue goals and the Lord closing doors with another purpose. I am learning to trust Him and know that I am where He wants me to be. He may take me another route, but I'll still make it!

Thank you for this testimony beacuse I am taking this as a wake up call. I would watch your videos and be in awe at how talented beautiful you are. NEVER would I have thought that you were struggling with depression. The old saying you can't judge a book by its cover comes to mind now...Being a child of God is soo not easy in this day and age. For you to admit that trusting in God allowing him to work in your life is a struggle is a true beauty. I too share all these exereinces you mentioned.

Hi Ebony,
I just want to thank you for exposing yourself. There's a saying exposure brings closure. I'm experiencing a situation which is very close to yours. The whole independent thing I can relate to especially when you've been raised to be that way. The Lord is working thru you to reach myself and others. I struggle with losing control of things and being my spouse dependent. I currently live in the caribbean and I use to live in NJ and worked in NYC. Sister girl I know what road blocks are

Greetings Ebony!you are a light and you are shining even brighter than you were before the retreat. I thank you for sharing your testimony. It's not an easy thing to do to pour your heart out.especially to people you don't know.But having a support of brothers and sisters in Christ, will make you stronger.When 2 or more agree it is done.sister' you are well. and TRUSTING in HIS deliverance will make you appreciate His majestic power even more. God bless you and may you continue to be a blessing

Oh my i just came across this video and ur channel and this explains alot of what i am going through and why. I totally understood what u said. When we pray to God and ask for things like patience, change and etc that the road to it is not easy. Were being molded and tried everyday and dying to self is a very difficult process but yet so neccesary if we want to be what God has called us to be.
