Jon and Kate Plus 8

If you are a Jon and Kate plus 8 fan like me you were probably not completely shocked at Monday's episode where they announced they are getting a divorce. I was hoping they would announce they were quitting the show to focus on their family, so the news of a divorce really saddened me.

I have watched the show from the beginning and it quickly became one of my favorites. I fell in love with their kids, and was always amazed at how a family with twins and sextuplets made it work.

I went to Houston with some friends, to a Proverbs 31 women's conference, where Kate was a guest speaker right before all of the media stuff started. She shared her story about finding out she was having sextuplets and the struggles she had during her pregnancy. It was really great to see her in person and hear her talk about her life and faith.

Despite the attention they get, I am reminded that they are a normal family and they need our prayers like anyone else. I am so sad for their kids, but I know that nothing is impossible for God. He can change their hearts and restore their marriage. It is never too late. My friends parents were getting a divorce and every time they were supposed to go to the court house to sign the papers and finalize the divorce something would postpone it. During that time, God did a work in their hearts and healed their marriage. Please join me in praying for them and their family.
