London Answers Your Questions! | Arise with Amber (EP210)

[@alexlubbe]

What a great conversation. London is so mature and respectful for her age, speaks volumes about how she has been raised. Praise God!

[@lindapearson8137]

Plus her love for the Lord comes through like a bright shining star!

[@Julie-uq7sz]

What a wonderfully grounded young lady London is! God's hand rests on her, and He is using her for His glory! London, never forget who lives inside of you, and always remember who you are in Christ!

[@ashleycool4285]

My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS 2 years ago. She had the ocd, ticks and unfortunately rage. I'm so glad London shared her journey because it makes others feel not so alone. I hope you get better London. We are walking this walk with you ❤️

[@teresamiller8861]

When our son was 10, he developed tics. The neurologist described it as a "hiccup" in the brain. Our son is 47, he still has it, but over many years he has learned a lot of coping skills. I hope that is encouraging. We love your family so much and excited about your new book, Amber. You have turned into a dear godly lady.

[@bowed305]

I felt so much for London during the conversation about River. She did a great job even though I know it had to be incredibly tough for her to discuss. This was a great podcast. Thank you!

[@tammyfarrell8653]

There’s nothing like a Mother and daughters love !💕 Pure unconditional !!!🩷🦋🩷🙏

[@janconnolly6987]

I will be praying for you, London. Stay true to yourself. God made you beautiful inside and out, and He is with you always. ❤🙏

[@janconnolly6987]

“I came that they might have life and have it to the full.” John 10:10 We are so blessed! ❤🙏

[@kerriedwards8236]

London is such a light. I hope moms will watch this episode with their young daughters and be blessed by London's honesty. ❤

[@brendatangsrud8738]

I believe that God is in her and helping her through each and every day.

[@HeatherPatterson-cy4dp]

She is such a good friend to my daughter. She is an amazing child. You are doing so well raising her. She encouraged my daughter to read Granger's book. So we read it together. I love this podcast interview.

[@AmberEmilySmith]

Aw thank you. That really means a lot. She adores Maddie! 🤍

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

On this Beautiful Sunday, let us take a moment to appreciate the good things in our lives and count our blessings. Wishing you a day filled with happiness and positivity. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week ahead. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.

[@annesnow7073]

Great Episode! London is a gem. Middle school will fly by and be only a memory soon. It’s tough but take heart in knowing that it’s only a season.

[@None979]

Thank you Amber and London for sharing your life with us! It is exciting for me to hear London’s point of view on life for an almost teen and her desire to show Christ’s love even when it is so difficult at times. What a blessing it is to have parents that monitor and are so involved in their children’s decisions. The Lord is faithful and is always available to hear our praise and prayer’s 💜

[@simplyswayzee]

WOW 🤯 I expected a sit down with a teenager. But she is SO mature. Y’all keep pouring Jesus into this girl!!! Awesome podcast! 👏🏻 Praise God!!

[@kathy445]

I put my daughter in private middle school after watching what my older 2 kids went thru. MS is brutal!

[@aliciasmith7516]

That’s great! It’s got to be the hardest time of our lives. You’re a great mom. ❤

[@michelleleapai7942]

What an amazing young woman you are! What a light you are to so many!

[@bowed305]

Great seeing London on here with you. I have a niece who went through the ticks like London has. She's 17 now, and those have primarily gone away. I hope that brings her some hope about the days ahead.

[@karenseay2225]

I read "Like A River" I bawled through most of it. It is an awesome book, touching, eye opening and such a wonderful witness!

[@SarahOlivia1000]

London, you are a brave girl. It was so good to see you both together. London you are healed in the name of Jesus form this.

[@cht3008]

You two are so Beautiful and precious! London’s voice is SO SWEET, I can’t handle it, lol 😊😅 Love your relationship. Wish I could’ve had a good relationship w/ my Mama. I’m a 41 year old married woman and my Mom was mentally ill growing up…. I am so thankful for Jesus and the people He’s put into my life! 🎉

[@denimdevotionsme]

Amber, you're blessed with Miss London. What a cool and amazing role we have in raising daughters in the Lord, new ways from how we were raised and watch them shine.

[@maryfeldott2147]

London, if I wanted a role model for my 7 year old daughter, you would be it! You are so sweet, beautiful, and have a heart of gold!

[@janegarrison3569]

I enjoyed London being on your podcast. What a very special beautiful young lady she is. Middle school is very hard, I think the ones that are being mean to London are just jealous of her. I will be praying for her and to also stay as wonderful and full of God's grace as she is now.

[@patriciaking1577]

What a precious young lady! Same age as one of my granddaughters who lost a little brother when she was two❤ Prayers for you sweet London! god has great plans for you sweetie ❤love your heart❤

[@aliciasmith7516]

This was so beautiful. I love the honesty and truth any how hard school is even when you’re grieving. I hope lots of moms with daughters watch this. ❤

[@novamom1962]

London thank you for being on today and it was great ! Hope you come back on because it was wonderful listening to you. Love y’all so much God bless , have a great weekend. 💗💗🙏💗💗

[@mariposavioleta9007]

I went through tremendous bullying from kindergarten til the end of high school but from grade 5 on was the worst. I agree with London people will bully you but turning the other cheek and treating to others how I'd want to be treated really made a huge difference in the long run. At the end of high school I had a few of the girls that had bullied me from grade 5 on who asked me why no matter what they did I never treated them badly or retaliated. It was an opportunity to share my faith with them and share the Gospel. I pray that not only it will make London stronger but that she will have an opportunity to use this to share the Gospel through all of this whether it's those same people or others who may be experiencing bullying themselves. I'll be praying even more specifically for these things for London🙏 Thanks for coming on London!

[@charliesimmons2312]

Love her so much, she’s such a sweet soul. Makes me sad kids may bully her or pick on her. What a strong, awesome young lady!

[@ericabahr313]

I pray she always remains close to Jesus. ❤ I am with you, I wish I had what she has at her age. Praying for her! Middle school is so tough 😢

[@AliciaFord-oq8mx]

Loved watching London she is so sweet and mature. Awesome that she loves mission trips and spread the word.

[@1029tbarton]

What a wonderful conversation with your daughter! Your family is so blessed to have a relationship with Christ to lead you in raising your children. So much good will come from that; in your relationships with each other and outside your home. Your children will be strong in the Lord. Praise God! And London will be healed in Jesus' name Amen!

[@mazukins]

London is precious and sweet

[@ForTheGreaterGood9]

Amber, I love the way you addressed the questions for London, and London you did an amazing job! God Blessed us with such a loving family that has so much love for the Lord...Keep sharing your love for God and I will be praying for all of you...God is so Good...have a very blessed Sunday and week...Love Hugs Happiness and Prayers...💗😇🙏🏻

[@debbiekotch6006]

More Moms need to talk to their daughters. We should know what our daughters are thinking and feeling. I wish my Mom talked to me.

[@nicolececotti14]

London is a very angelic young lady! She will do amazing things in life! I loved hearing her perspective on things she witnessed and has been through! London, I pray middle school becomes easier for you to walk through the closer you lean on GOD and you make many, many friends! Amen! ❤

[@jackielowrey3032]

London is so wise beyond her years. I’m 32 and I couldn’t handle reading chapter 7 because my husband had been in that dark place before. I’m still triggered by the S-word a decade later. I can’t imagine knowing about it at her age and dealing with losing river and knowing she almost lost her dad after. She is incredibly brave. I want to be London when I grow up.

[@evaroark2291]

Wonderful! Amber and Sweet London! Blessings to all.

[@donnapoovey4420]

Aww I enjoyed listening to London so so much. You guys are doing a wonderful job!!! God Bless

[@ritabarnes2440]

What a precious child London is. I cried when she talked about River. It is so obvious what a kind heart she has. I love these Q & A’s. This one is my favorite so far. I promise to pray specifically for London.

[@CathyBible-r3y]

Amber, I enjoy your podcasts so much. This one with London was so special. I have read Like a River and I have a granddaughter abt the same age as London who has had similar bullying experiences as London and it really upset her. I was so interested to see London's take on it and how she walked thru it. London, you are such a bright light and have such a loving, joyous soul. Always remember, you are not alone. God and Jesus are always by your side and will give you strength to come thru your troubles. You are a beautiful witness for Christ. ❤😊

[@michelleowens2282]

What a bright light she brings to this World. I know how proud you must be of Her. So Beautiful, inside and out. KEEP SHINING ❤❤ God Bless

[@amandathornton3306]

I loved this episode. I hope she comes back on arise with amber again soon. I will be praying for you London.

[@kevin6959]

you have an amazing family to hold close to your heart

[@pattyshannon6475]

What a pleasure to listen to London's views. Great job London, Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@triciadanell8303]

What a sweet precious girl! God Bless Her! 🩷🙏🏻

[@bgrateful453]

London's Light is so bright!!! I often think of a throw-back clip on her Mama's IS page, where sweet London is joyfully singing the Frozen song 'Let it go' outside her dance class. I love that video so much. She is JOY. Animals sense it. Beautiful job sharing your heart London, even with loss & middle school drama. John 16:33. I will continue to pray for you as middle school can be rough & I see that in your eyes. God has big plans for this 12yo who walks with so much love & grace. London has so many qualities of her Daddy & Mommy. This interview was outstanding. London Ava Smith!!! ❤❤❤The girl that always looks, sees & finds the rays of light.

[@melaniewood4021]

Best video made yet!! London is such an amazing young girl!

[@shannonjohnson2105]

Great person to talk to. Great getting to know finally more about London ! Learned a lot and I’ll be praying for her .

[@shariarkema243]

Thank you, London, for sharing your heart with us! You are a very sweet girl! Love you and your whole family! ❤❤❤❤✝️🙏

[@ashleebeasley8884]

I listened to this with my daughter in the car, she was having a hard day and I was talking with her about John 16:33 and then we decided to start this episode! She starts middle school next year, and this episode was such a encouragement for her. Thanks for sharing your sweet heart, London. ❤

[@MooreV14]

London is absolutely precious. I have a 4 year old (almost 5) and we lost her little brother and even at her early age, she remembers and talks about him all the time. I look at London and I picture my daughter at her age and I just hope that she continues to grow in her faith like London has! 🩵 I am hopeful for a close relationship like yours and hers as my daughter gets to middle school age and beyond. Bless her sweet heart, I know it’s hard. I’ll be praying for her during this strange and difficult middle school season and for her to stay strong in her faith in this scary world as she gets older!

[@jackibrown5215]

London you are so sweet. ❤️❤️

[@scotttoney6997]

What a sweet interview with such a lovely young lady. I was so blessed by listening to London. Blessings to you all! ~Rebecca from Michigan

London did a wonderful job! She has a smile and is filled with joy.

[@cindydowning5600]

I loved this episode. I’m very impressed with how she handles the tough questions and I see the joy she has for the Lord. I will definitely be praying for your heart and friendship as you navigate middle school. God will always be by your side. ❤

[@disneydoxies]

London, I'm so stinking proud of you for standing up for what you believe. I have absolutely loved watching you grow in The Lord & Your Beautiful Light Shining for The Lord. I love watching how much you love all the animals. You are such an incredible Young Lady. I will definitely be praying for you sweet girl re: your nervous system as well as for your friendships :) Love in Him ~ Heather

[@samanthayildiz2579]

[@arlenedbyrne]

I'm so glad you had London cause she's beautiful the way she is.

[@lynnatwmahalfsteading6139]

It was so good getting to see London. I think sometimws we forget as we get older what kids go through in their lives at school, friends and functions they do. I will certainly pray for London and the whole family. Such a sweet young lady. Again get questions and answers.😊

[@RhodaMiller-s6z]

I cannot imagine how different my life might have been to have a mom like you Amber..it touches my heart deeply to see you with your daughter. London, I enjoy listening to you , keep shining for Jesus!!

[@cateb.l5343]

I cried and had a hard time reading that chapter of Like a River as well, I cannot imagine reading about your Dad in that dark time. But it's great that you talked and worked through that together 💜

[@tabathascott-whittle342]

Thank you for sharing London! You are sweet.. just like your Momma! ❤

[@MattJ-p8n]

[@karrieburnside4294]

Thank you London for being so vulnerable and honest!!! It is inspiring. You are doing great things and I love being able to witness it 💖 May God bless you and like your Daddy says always look up toward His light 🙏 prayers and strength as you maneuver through middle school and Tourette’s syndrome. Much love to you and your entire family 💖

[@meganwilliams1706]

London is such a sweet girl! Middle school is so hard but she is such a light. I loved watching yall walk through the middle school stuff together I’m so glad she has you and hope other middle school kids have this.

London Thank you for sharing with the arise family today. Thank you for being vulnerable. I will pray for you middle school is tough. 😊❤😊

❤ London is so special… thankful to hear her share this morning!!

[@pacharbeneau]

Awwww, y’all….my church makeup done ran right off my face in a puddle of tears watching this. What a beautiful young woman you are, London. Your family is blessed beyond measure. I’m blessed just for watching. ❤❤❤

[@tm-bk5gj]

My daughter is in High school and the girls and boys not as nice either. I told her when she started not to take heart to all their nonsense because it's a short 4 years and most likely will never see them again. She is going to be a junior and she is agreeing with me now. That's what I wish someone had told me too back when I was in High school. She is also rooted in Jesus.

[@bowed305]

And so many of those kids are coming from various places of pain. That's not an excuse for their actions, but remembering it does sometimes help us take what they're doing less personally, although it feels so very personal at the time.

[@carolberrysteppe1268]

Thank u London! U r a very brave girl with a beautiful soul.

[@cindiallain8542]

Good interview, London. You can see God in you. Thank you for the video.

[@Constant_Adventurer]

Loved this episode. Love how open you were about having a form of Tourette’s, London. I also have it and for the longest time I was embarrassed about it but as I’ve seen people embracing it and other disorders more I’ve realized it’s okay to just be myself! I’m so proud of you for recognizing that at such a young age. Satan’s gonna try to lie to you about it saying “See? you’re not normal” or “Everyone is looking at you” but just throw it back in his face because Jesus fearfully and wonderfully made you exactly how you are! Again, I’m proud of you! 28 year old here and I wish I had the maturity and self confidence about it when I was ur age like you do. Praying that yours goes away soon though!!

[@debbieholman906]

I have always wanted to comment on Londons videos. She is amazing at speaking. Great job,!

[@lauracolosimo9792]

Thank you for sharing your sweet London with us- she is such a happy and delightful God girl! Prayers for London 🙏🏻 💕

[@Missouri_Outlaw_1276]

I normally don’t watch arise but this one caught my eye. Very well done and informative. You or Granger should do this with Lincoln. I would like to hear his answers of the same questions.

[@jenarmstrong118]

London, you are so sweet! My daughter and I have watched your family channel for years. We cried with you all when River passed away. My daughter has kind of grown up with you. She's just a little older at 14. If you knew each other, I imagine y'all would be great friends! Amber, kudos to you and Grainger. You're kids are experiencing so much great things with nature, animals, family, and more. Most of all, you've done a great job ensuring they know God is real and first. We love your family and love having you in our lives!

[@Beaureads24]

Oh she is soooo. Cute I wish I had her faith at confidence at her age.

[@terrireed2631]

This was absolutely precious ❤ Thank you London for talking with us.

[@stephanieyoung8319]

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Please let London know that I know what she is going through. My brother passed away when he was 8 years old and I was 9. I am 48 years old now I will be 49 in June. I still have a hard time especially when the it's my brother birthday and the Holidays.

[@kendrawilson8131]

London is such a sweetheart!!!! She is so mature and respectful. She is going to do amazing things. She has the best parents as role models. Love your family!!!! ❤
