The first time I saw Jill on t.v. I thought she seemed so kind,sweet,happy,very caring,generous,and of course so pretty! She has always been one of my favorites and always will be. Happy Birthday We Love You Jill!
ReplyDeleteI thought she seemed like a really sweet and nice person.
ReplyDeleteJill and I have the same birthday!
ReplyDeleteJill and I have the same birthday!
ReplyDeleteJill has this tender quiet personality and so very caring for other people. So much compassion for others and especially for babies and children! We need more people in the world like her!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better. Totaly agreed.
DeleteI don't know...the world's "noisy" personalities can be the movers and shakers in this world. We've needed them, too, to get to where we are today. It takes all kinds.
DeleteAgreed! How boring and how much more lost would we be if everyone was the same!
DeleteToday's my birthday too!!! Happy birthday Jill!! I know you'll do so many great things with your life! When I first saw Jill in TV I thought she was a great person, super kind, loving, and sweet!
ReplyDeleteJoy's wedding is Saturday. Is Jill going to fly home for it?
ReplyDeleteThat has not been confirmed yet
DeleteIt was my understanding that Joy's Wedding is like October or November
DeleteJoy is getting married on May 20th?
DeleteThey haven't announced their wedding date yet.
DeleteHappy Birthday Jill
ReplyDeleteJill IS my favorite Duggar - she has a sense of humor which is one of the best traits anyone can have.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes and more importantly - SAFE TRAVEL back home with Derick & Israel AND the special bundle you carry inside.
She was a very sweet, mature, gentle, and kind young thirteen year old. Something that I always looked up to. Happy Birthday Jill!
ReplyDeleteIn Christ's love,
Grace
Happy Birthday Jill, hope you have a great day. Also hope you guys make it home safe real soon and I can't wait to see a picture of your new baby boy in July. K
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday sweet Jill!! God bless you on your birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!I hope you and Derick continue to work in the mission.Field you both have so much love.Thank you!
ReplyDelete♫♪ Happy and Blessed Birthday, Jill!! ♫♪ :)
ReplyDeleteTo my dear fellow mothers,missionary wives and women of God. I would just like to encourage and remind you that there os such a thing as pregnancy modesty. I am a young mom of 3 boys under5 years and understand all the challengings of being a mom and missionary in the same time. I was blessed to have an older woman of God guide me and encourage me to dress modestly during my pregnancies for which I thank God. I am not a legalistic person at all but I do not think that us showing off all our round shapes and every fat wrinkle to the world can create a Godly image to the people we want to save for the Lord. There is not much one can do with clothes clinging to the upper half of the baby bump but we can avoid showing the lower half bu wearing looser tops and dresses or longer tunics. I found it challenging but I prayed to the Lord to guide me and he gave me the idea to buy tunics in bigger sizes and sew them under the arm to fit nicely and add a matching strip of material at the bottom to make it cover my knees. I ended up dressing so nice that my friends would borrow my clothes between my pregnancies. I know pregnancy is a challenging time but we can also use this time to honour the Lord with our bodies. This is really just an encouragement to my dear fellow sisters in Christ. Wish you all the Lords richest blessings and guidance.and I really appreciate the Duggars being an example in many ways to so many people.love andreea
ReplyDeleteJessa and Jill please take note, and stop with the skintight t-shirts that show your popping bellybutton.
DeleteAndreea S,
DeleteWhat a sweet comment. I wish I had learned modesty when I was expecting my girls so long ago. I didn't have a Titus 2 woman to encourage me and I'm glad you had that woman.
May God bless you as you raise your sons for the Lord.
Children are blessings from God, so why try to hide the shape? I am a Christian and I think it's shameful when women try to hide their pregnancy understand layers of clothing. There's nothing wrong with it.
DeleteTotally agree with you! God bless this family and hope all people will think lilr ypu! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL!☺
DeleteI mean to say that I just hope that everybody should think like you.The world will be different just as Jesus wants us to be different and dress with modesty.
DeleteTotally agree with you! God bless this family and hope all people will think like you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL!☺
DeleteCompletely disagree! What you want to do is fine for you but you have no right to JUDGE what anyone else does or chooses to do, with their bodies or their pregnancies! I am a 50 year old woman and think this type of thinking is dangerous and belongs in a cult where women are second class and responsible for what men do and think. It's sad and sickens me that so many believe this way. There is no difference between this and the middle east thinking, so you might as well wear a burka!
DeleteAbsolutely not Shauna! Andreea was not being judging but offering godly advice. God'said Word instructs the Christian to be modest. There is nothing "cultish" about choosing to dress in a way that honors God.
DeleteAgree with you Regina, disagree with Shauna. I respect everybody but I like to praised God in all areas of my life. GOD SEE US INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.20 years ago Jesus change my life completely. I was born again because I don't practice what I used to do before. I enjoy my Life in Jesus'name. Before I didn't dress in a modesty way now that I'm Christian I do. I DON'T FOLLOW RELIGION because it doesn't saves. Only thru Jesus we can be saved.
DeleteShauna -- take a chill pill. No one's judging here. It's interesting, though, that the Duggar girls can's show their knees or shoulders, yet once they're pregnant, bring out the skin tight t-shirts. How anyone can call that modesty is beyond me.
DeleteWhen I met Jill in person, she was as sweet and nice as she is on TV. I actually saw her twice, but only met her once in person. I met most of the Duggars in August 2013 in Columbus, OH and then again at a book signing in March 2014. I then got a thank you postcard from Jill & Derick when I sent them a slideshow with pictures from their courtship and engagement soon after they got married.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. She seems like a genuinely sweet person.
DeleteWishing sweet Jill a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a year of happiness and blessings.God Bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL
Joan,Marion and Marilyn
Happy birthday Jill! Hope you have many more.!
DeleteJill is so sweet! Happy Birthday Jill. I admire your courage to leave the comforts of home and go where God directs. You are a very special young lady
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jill! I have often thought of Jill as the sensible, practical, loving older sister.
ReplyDeleteI don't knoooow , but l would think Jill is already home.....do you think
ReplyDeleteshe would miss the wedding ❓
Heard Joy Anna is geting married this weekend. If thats the case that means they lied about the october 28 day.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rumours are not true.
They didn't "lie" about the October date. They used it as a placeholder date so they could create that registry. They said right on the registry that it was not the actual wedding date. The real date will be probably be this weekend or next.
DeleteStop reading/believing tabloids then accusing the Duggars of not being truthful! They said from the beginning that the date in their gift registry was not the actual date of the wedding. It is Joy's birthday and they just used it as a place holder. As far as them getting married this coming weekend, that is just a rumor! It may end up being true but as of now it has not been confirmed.
DeleteThe Oct 28 date came from a wedding registry online. The registry said clearly that the date was not accurate. Presumably, they had to put a date in so they used her bday.
DeleteThe family has never announced a wedding date publicly. I am sure it's a security issue, the don't want random fans showing up (well intended or not). We will find out the date after the fact.
It has been reported that there was a bit of confusion over the weekend in question, and it would seem that Joys wedding is next weekend (may 27th) again this is unconfirmed, but watch this space.
DeleteHappy Birthday Jill
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Jill :) you are a sweet lady and I hope you have a wonderful and Blessed day :)
ReplyDeleteAlong with Jana, she has had to work hard at raising her younger siblings. I never thought that was fair, to ask your daughter to give up some of her childhood to raise children that were not hers. You asked for impressions, and that's my honest one.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - Those girls have had to shoulder more than their fair share of raising children while more and more babies came. I wonder if the girls ever had time to play freely or just sit and stare contentedly at clouds, once they were old enough to be given babies and toddlers to tend?
DeleteI was older sister in big family,,,and I helped with the three younger siblings,,,,,,,but I can't imagine if there had been 10 or 12 more babies to help out with,,,,,one after the other....OMG.....I had never thought of that....
DeleteHappy Birthday Jill!! May God bless and protect you and your family - especially while on the mission field.
ReplyDeleteI had a great picture of Jill and Derick at a Bates' wedding when they were engaged and then I inadvertanely deleted all the pictures! Jill and Derick were pleasant to converse with. Jinger and Jana are also good conversationalists.
ReplyDeleteMy first impression when they first appeared was a sweet and joyful child.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite segment was her birthday lunch date with her parents! HB Jill!
Happy Belated 26th Birthday Jill Michelle. I hope you had a great day. I have a couple names for the baby. Isaiah or Isaac Matthew. Hopefully you consider one of them. I have been watching you on the TV shows since 2004. It's great watching you grow up. I can't wait to watch the birth of your new baby on the show. Natasha B.
ReplyDeleteJill is one of those people who smile with her eyes as well.She has a heart of gold, so tender and sweet is she, and her love for the little ones is purely evident.I just knew that she would be an awesome mother and wife.👍Good job Jill, so proud of the woman you grew up to be...blessings to you and yours😄
ReplyDeleteI met Jill through a conference the Mally family hosted several years ago- she is a lovely and sweet young lady who I look up to and have enjoyed the time we have spent together. Her heart for ministry and for others is outstanding. Praying for her as she pursues God's will for her life and for her little but growing family!
