AMAZING! Thank you for sharing. Stephanie is so beautiful and I am thankful to have found your blogs. The church is true and I am so lucky to know that. Just as everyone can who desires too.
What a beautiful and remarkable woman Stephanie is. She reminds me of what is really important in life and what we are really here to do. I am so thankful for her strong testimony, and her willingness to share the truthfulness of the gospel. Thanks for sharing this CJane.
That was beautiful. It's hard to know what else to say. While watching it I was hit with a strong feeling that I should read the Book of Mormon to find out more about your faith. I will do just that. Thank you.
wow, my eyes are wet and my heart is full...I pray we can all find our mission here on this earth. Thank you Stephanie for being such an awesome missionary and Courtney, thanks for sharing this with us (and sharing your beautiful family with us as well) you have both become a part of my daily routine :)
Awesome! What a great message. Although I am a S. Texas Catholic this message speaks volumes to all, no matter what faith you follow, it's still the same message. Thanks for sharing.
Stephanie is such a beautiful and amazing woman! How blessed you are to have her as your sister and she to have you. I am grateful for the inspiration that you all are to each of us who read your blogs day to day. Thank You, Stephanie, for once again sharing your testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Courtney, thank you for sharing this video with us!
What a wonderful message! How blessed we are to have such a loving Heavenly Father, who inspires and teaches us, not only by our own trials and experiences, but by those willing to reach and and share as well.
ummm, yeah! It's going to go viral. I sent a link to it to all of my favorite people in the whole wide world because I loved it so much and the message is so important!
Thank Stephanie and Christian for me for offering up such uplifting inspiration.
Beautiful! What an inspiration your sister is. Also, can you let your sister know that I am in love with her little boy Nic, please? I would tell her myself, but her blog does not allow comments. He is so cute.
Wow, that was just amazing! Thank you SO much for sharing it! Stephanie is so beautiful, as is her entire family and the love that she and Christian share is inspiring!
I posted this on the Mormon Messages Facebook page, but I don't know if Stephanie will see that, so I'm posting it here as well:
Stephanie, I was reading your blog long before the accident occurred, and I was delighted then at how fun and lovely you made motherhood. Now that you've endured (and are enduring) this incredible trial, it has given all that you say and do even more weight, more loveliness. YOU are lovely. You are a wonderful tool in the Lord's hands. I will continue to pray for you as you continue through surgeries and the difficulties of living life as normally as possible. Bless your sweet soul.
Honestly one of the the most beautiful videos I've ever had the pleasure of viewing! Brought many tears to my eyes and mad me feel so inspired. If only we all had the same attitude as Stephanie Nielson, the world would be such a better place! Thank you for sharing! It made my day much brighter and made me feel honored to be a wife and mother!
WOW! This just gave me goosebumps all over. A testament to what an amazing woman Stephanie is and how God works in so many mysterious ways. I feel fortunate to be able to share in her (and your) journeys. Thank you for posting this!!
Loved it!!! I too was a reader long before the accident and loved the joy Stephanie found in motherhood. It helped me on the days I was feeling blah about it....and to see her find joy on her not so great days after her accident reminds me to well, suck it up and remember what really matters!!! LOVE HER and YOU CJANE!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
wonderful message that crosses faiths. The Lord does work wonders when you accept him into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior. Stephanie's children are so blessed to have such a wonderful mother!
That was very beautiful and extremely touching. I love Nie's blog and I never tire of hearing her story. Such encouraging and strong words, and faith only our God can give. May God continue to bless Stephanie and all of her wonderful family!
Tears streaming down my face and the sounds of my four-year old girl splashing around in the tub. Life is good and I need to recognize it more. This will help me do that today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for sharing and helping me forget why I was feeling sorry for myself today. I have been inspired by you and stephanie more than once. Keep doing what you are doing, you and your sister are changing lives!
thank you stephanie, for having the courage to do this. all of this.
you inspire me. it sounds so LAME because after watching it, and knowing what you went through, and reading every day about what you are GOING through - to say, "you inspire me," just isn't enough. but it's true, and it's all i've got.
what a trial you have, indeed, and with it, such a gift to inspire and encourage and touch so MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES. and that, friends, is awesome, in the truest sense of the word.
Thank-you CJ and Nienie for both of your blogs. It is wonderful to see two young women who love motherhood. Your own Mother must be a wonderful person. Have a great MOTHER"S DAY!!!!
I cry everytime I watch her pick up her kids and remember back to when she ached to be able to do that very thing. What a beautiful soul that dear sister of yours has. Thank you for sharing.
I am in awe of her honesty and faith. She has shown us all over the past year how hard adversity can be...but what wonderful blessings can come. She has blessed my life for good. Now I will go bless those around me.
It's beautiful. I'm southern baptist and makes me want to share this with my mother because she has negative opinions of Mormoms. We're all not so different after all. And another where did you find question - love that long yellow tunic Nie has on in the video. Know where she found it?
Oh thank you for this! Stephanie...you have such a calling, and you nobly and faithfully fill it. With such grace and beauty. We all have a calling, and you have set the path for so many to have the courage and faith to make life beautiful no matter what you are given as your cross. Thank you. We love you!
amazing, beautiful... God is good and stephanie is an inspiration to anyone with a beating heart. thanks for being real and you, dear stephanie. we love your heart and soul. i am not an LDS follower, but a born again evangelical christian and you bring so much perspective and insight into my life. i think the Lord is using you for amazing good and touching people worldwide and it's so awesome to see you giving HIM the glory! all of it. bless you, bless your family and keep up the race. looking forward to seeing where life will take you.
