You are very brave and I know you will be blessed for you honesty and courage! I was around 16 when I first found your make up tutorial videos and they helped me so much as a young growing girl. You combined beauty with creativity and fun, which was new for me. Thank you for helping me to embrace myself for who I was. I am now 19 and I am saving myself for marriage.

You may be respectful and love Kandee, but your comments seem a tad hypocritical. I fully stand by Kandee and I can respect people who get divorces. But I can't respect saying you believe in something and then stating the opposite. Yes, prevention is important but religiously, the only option is to be married first and if Kandee wants to say that is what she believes in so be it. I respect that far more then saying... have sex and have babies rather then attempt to get into something so committed as a marriage. If you can have a baby (a VERY long term commitment) you should be able to marry the person you plan to have that baby with. THAT is what the bible says. Kandee is simply not saying she is embarrassed by this baby- she clearly loves her kids. She is saying that the choices she made to get herself to this point may very obviously colide with what she believes in. <br /><br />I respect that. I believe in <i>that</i>DesaraeVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354550301110673337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53018157559752812.post-46718675841985148542011-02-09T21:56:59.717-08:002011-02-09T21:56:59.717-08:00I follow both your blogs, and while I know it'...I follow both your blogs, and while I know it's silly to finally post a comment to this blog considering your beautiful baby is now healthy and here... I have to be honest and say that this post has always left a sense of hurt in me.<br /><br />I have alway had a strong religious upbringing, and a loving family. I feel I have a great relationship with God, and live my life doing the best I can in my eyes and in my heart with God's blessing and understanding.<br /><br />So what bothers me most, is reffering to getting pregnant as a mistake. Nothing about children and a beautiful life is a mistake, and reffering to "getting pregnant" as a mistake is almost saying your child is unwanted. <br /><br />Two adults that love eachother, and are intimate is not a mistake.... getting married just to have sex is. Waiting until marriage and talking about the vow to God, means nothing when people so easily get devorced. I'm not judging you, and I know you mean well.... but as a role model.... I think you should not just say wait until marriage. <br /><br />You should talk about prevention, and birth control. Sex is sometimes shared between too people who take the vow of marriage very seriously... so serioulsy that they won't get married until they are positive they can fulfill their vows until death do them part... not divorce.People say sex is the ultimate signs of effection.... I disagree. Sex in primal. Love and how you treat someone is not. Throwing the two together as is they HAVE to go together is unrealistic.<br /><br />Just saying waiting until marriage, does nothing to educate young women whom might not have the same religious upbringing. It's about educating on prevention. It's about giving self worth to yourself and your relationships. It's about responibility.... not shame. <br /><br />Babies are a miracle.... never a mistake. We can learn from one person miracle and how they celebrate, plan and prepare. <br /><br />I just feel someone who can talk about the sacred vow of marriage as a prevention tool to pregnancy.... shouldn't be divorced twice.... it seems hollow. I truly love you, and respect you.... but this blog seemed more about shame then a beautiful mother opening her heart to another blessing from god.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53018157559752812.post-82235897372600419112011-02-08T16:10:42.939-08:002011-02-08T16:10:42.939-08:00Kandee I found your birth video youtube and I foun...Kandee I found your birth video youtube and I found you to be very insperational. I went and thought I'd read your post of announcement and I find you to be an insperation to every girl out there that follows you. I am 23 years old, I was married at 20 years old and we didn't use protection the first year of our marriage and we never concived a baby. It was Gods way. But, that marriage didn't last. Things happen for a reason. I really would like children one day and I have the view point if it happens it happens. But at the same time I am not ready for a baby. I currently live with my boyfriend who is 24 yrs old. But we do use protection, I am on an IUD. But, I wanted you to know that you are an insperation and CONGRADULATIONS to your new baby!

You are totally right no one is perfect! And also right that you shouldn't fear the judgment of others, the only judgment that matters is God's and he is a forgiving God. He knows where your heart and intentions are. I also had two children out of wedlock and by some I was frowned upon. Everything happens for a reason and God will never give you more then you can handle. I just want to say I wish you the best of luck with everything.

I've been watching your pregnancy videos and saw your first video about your life/marriage over a year ago. Sweetie, you are a rock for yourself, those children and many people who are lost in the tides of this world. Yes, the bible says let he who is without sin cast the first stone and yet it also says a few more that may give you inspiration:<br /><br />- Do not judge, or you too will be judged.<br />- "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?<br />- Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. <br />- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. <br />- “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. <br />- “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” <br /><br />Congrats on your new baby Kandee, can't wait to see the video of her in a day or two!DesaraeVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354550301110673337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53018157559752812.post-44788791831381187122011-01-20T22:35:13.278-08:002011-01-20T22:35:13.278-08:00Hello Kandee, I only really followed your make-up ...Hello Kandee, I only really followed your make-up videos at first but then I started watching all of your videos and I realized that I didn't necessarily watched them because of the content but because of the person. The way that you are really shows others that no matter what comes your way there is always hope. Some people just can't stand the fact that you are such a sweet and happy person and anyone would be honored to have a person like you in their life. Sometimes the decisions you make in life do change the course of where you are headed but it doesn't cause you to stop following your dreams, nonetheless believing in them. You should never allow anyone to bring you down, especially those who say that you are not a good example or influence, etc. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and some of the people I've known have gotten married or pregnant at 16 - 17 and are doing just fine. Some of them are actually still happily married today, things happen and like you've well said we all learn from our mistakes but people need to learn that life doesn't always play out as planned and it definitely does not play out the same way for everyone. A child is never a burden or a mistake. I'm 23, never been married or had a child but from a very young age I've learned from my friends and have helped them along the way. Many of my cousins have gotten married young and are still happily married. Like I said it all depends on the person and the way they decide to live their life. You are an amazing example when it comes to proving people that their is no reason to stop believing in or stop pursuing their dreams because one can always find happiness even when one is stuck in the middle of the most horrible situation one can imagine. With faith one can FOREVER achieve greatness. Thank you for being real and always being yourself. You are great and you do deserve as much happiness as you have, perhaps even more.exposed2createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01913206028876886344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53018157559752812.post-71765553935908266532011-01-20T20:44:05.936-08:002011-01-20T20:44:05.936-08:00Dear Kandee,

It comforts me and warms my heart to know that there are people out there who are willing to accept others for who they are - baggage/mistakes and all. I, myself, have not yet had children - but I understand entirely what it's like to make mistakes in life. Mistakes are what make us strong today and make us the kind people we are - people that aspire to overlook mistakes in a person, offer our friendship, and aspire to make that person feel comfortable in their own skin.<br /><br />You are a truly wonderful woman, Kandee!

When I read this post I was so impressed by you! <br />First off: I am a 21 year old college senior at a private, liberal arts Christian college in Santa Clarita, California. Growing up in southern California it can be hard to stay strong in my faith with the media and world telling me to do the opposite. I love makeup, and hope to one day become a makeup artist in the movie industry. I know that it will be a daily reminder though to be a light to the world in such a dark place such as Hollywood! I just want to say regaring your wonderful news of having a baby! AMEN! <br /><br />AMEN that you realize having sex out of wedlock is damaging, and devastating. AMEN that you see the baby as a blessing and gift from God! Knowing that sex is the mistake and not the baby! AMEN that you took the courage to tell everyone about your faith online for millions to see. AMEN that you are not only keeping your precious little one, but encouraging others to keep their babies as well. <br /><br />I am so blessed to have found your blog! You inspire me to remember that we are sinners saved by Grace through faith (Eph 2:8-9) And that all we need is to repent and ask the Lord to give us the gift that we don't deserve! <br /><br />I will pray for you and your litte one as your due date quickly approaches! how exciting! :) <br /><br />I really hope you continue to preach the truth as you progress in your career! May you always run the race with indurance looking unto Jesus for strength. (Heb 12:1b-2) and remember to give a reason for the hope that is within you! :) <br /><br />Your new follower and friend~<br />Brightonmissbee89https://www.blogger.com/profile/03300871384114220096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53018157559752812.post-87360900094685662682011-01-04T23:55:56.516-08:002011-01-04T23:55:56.516-08:00Having an abortion is not a mistake.

I personally did and I know too many women who view the natural way of things as things that are not meant for good looking women to do. You are in my prayers and I wish you much luck, love, and happiness. Alot of young girls look up to you and I think you are in a position to help people that dont know how important it is to give your baby the best. Alot of new moms are afraid their figure will be ruined by breast feeding and that is not true it is quite the opposite.

But as you said, we all make mistakes and learn from them. But now I'm with a man who makes me smile every day and who tells me he loves me and wants to marry me. I think he's planning on proposing soon (keep your fingers crossed for me!) And the guy who was my first turned out to be one of my closest friends. I think it's strange how it worked out, but I'm very happy and would like to congratulate you. Kandee, you're beautiful and an inspiration and I'm so happy for anticipated little one. They'll have an amazing, beautiful, talented mother. Thank you for your letter and your words of encouragement. God bless you all the days of your life. <br />-JosieJayJaydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326828697339249275noreply@blogger.com
