We got a new game and let’s just say…we had a blast and I was crying laughing at Armor. He thinks it’s 6 stick pick up rather than 6 stick catch. #newgame #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids

The myths about big families are not true! You will find abuse and unfair treatment in any size family but we can’t lump big families into that category just because you’ve heard of a family like that. That’s absurd! In fact the opposite is pretty much true. In a family with only 2 children, the workload is heavy on just 4 people in the home. I know because I grew up with one sister. But in a home with the workload spread out between 13 people, each persons chore is smaller. And no my older children are absolutely not responsible for the littles! Actually I’m always begging them for my baby back. They love to help each other and especially love the baby of the family. One advantage they will have is that they will know how to manage a home and care for others. They do have chores and I believe every home should no matter how big or small. Mamas don’t feel like you have to do everything. Giving our children chores builds responsibility, character, work ethic and sets them up to be grateful spouses, employees and parents in the future. #family #faith #blessed #thecollinskids #11kids #motherhood #misconceptions

If you think this is a big family club where only big families are welcome, you’re not hearing my message. I’m not here to promote big families. I’m only here to promote trusting Yahuah. That might mean you’re infertile. Trusting God doesn’t mean you’ll have 25 children. It just means you’re in full surrender to his will. You trust his plans over yours. If you’re infertile it doesn’t mean you’ve doing something wrong, some women in the Bible were infertile and righteous. If God only gives you two children and you’ve trusted him to give as many as he wants, that doesn’t make you less than. If you’ve prevented or sterilized in the past and regret it, it’s okay to repent and encourage the younger generations to trust God and share your testimony of forgiveness. And if you don’t agree at all that we are called to trust God and you’re just here for the cute kids or to be my friend, you’re welcome. I’m not forcing what I believe and know on you! I’m sharing what’s changed my life and blessed us greatly. At the end of the day we all account to Yahuah. I’m not here to condemn. And if you’re annoyed by my broken record you don’t have to stay. I’m here to encourage all that God can be trusted and will always know best. I’m not special or superhuman, but the God living in me is. #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood

When your ink keeps running out… And then it reset with baby Arrow. #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #funnies #parents #nomoreink

How did they get their names? The internet loves to mock their names. But we love them and God gave us most of them. Our first 5 children’s names we just picked what we thought was cute. We started with Anissa. It was a spin off of my name Karissa. Then we had Andrae and decided instead of doing a junior we would just take the M off of Mandraes name. And then we had two A names and didn’t want our 3rd child to feel left out so we picked a cute name. We didn’t know we would have a big family or even more than 3 children. So with each child we just kept up with the As so they wouldn’t feel left out. Then by child 6, our faith had become strengthened and we learned that Yahuah wanted to name our children. We had had 3 girls in a row and were convinced baby #6 was a boy. We had a family park gender reveal and found out it was a girl. We were kinda crushed because we were so convinced it was a boy. On our way home, as I was praying, Yahuah told me to name her Aynjel because she would be an angel. And she was literally born just that. So after her birth we started asking Yahuah for names. He would give them to me in prayer. It’s always so fun to get to know the next child by the name Yahuah gives. The coolest thing is seeing them born and living out what Yahuah spoke over them. A few days before I gave birth to arrow, Yahuah told me in prayer the baby would shoot out like an arrow. I honestly didn’t think it was literal but it was. He was born exactly like that! I didn’t even know I was in labor and he just shot out. It was absolutely a miraculous dream birth and gave even more meaning to his name. #arrowchosen #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood #names

As moms we think we do it all. We get bitter feeling unnoticed with a million to dos every second of the day. But mamas…the weight of your family is on your husband’s shoulders! Provision is a big thing. They carry every tear, every sickness, every heartache, every trial, every emotion…it’s all on their shoulders. They have a big weight to carry! Let’s take focus off of us (we do do a lot but that’s why we have Yahuah to carry us through), and let’s support them by not giving them more to carry. Some things I’ve learned and am learning… 1. Your husband doesn’t need to hear about every little thing gone wrong throughout your day and in your mind. If there’s nothing they can do from afar and it’s no true emergency, take it to God. Fill them with the positive in your day rather than any unnecessary negative. They have enough to carry. 2. You’re not your husband’s Holy Spirit. Pray for them rather than correcting them. Trust me I’m sure they have a list of corrections for us. It’s never fun getting corrected but love covers a multitude of wrong. 3. They might not do things like you do and that’s ok. Let them be involved in their own way. 4. If you’re so consumed with the positive, the negative just slips away. Think about their amazing traits and appreciate every effort no matter how small. 5. We were created different. They have their role and we have ours. Love how you were created and let them walk out their calling. Be their safe place!! #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood #theycarrytheweightoftheworld #betheirsafeplace

POV: When you just keep falling in love…. #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #motherhood

We tried it…I don’t know why it’s so hard 😂 but just watch anthym and armor 😂😂😂😂 #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood #soaplollipopchallenge

I’m literally okay being an old mom at graduation. I’m blessed to be able to raise children at any age and honored to give my children life! #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #

I love me some matching clothes! And even better when the kids love them too. @happinesstees customized these tshirts for us and the kids loved comparing their shirts and seeing when they became a brother or sister. We officially became dad and mom in 2009 and we wouldn’t change a thing. Contact @happinesstees to customize your family tees. They make the order really fast also. #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood #matching #tees #familytees #happinesstees

I used to say the same thing. I didn’t want one child let alone eleven. I didn’t think I had the patience. I didn’t think I could handle it. It seemed impossible. I’ve had seasons of what seemed like failure and others of joyous success. Trust me…you do! How many times have you done something new and just been an expert at it before you ever even started? Never. So why do we think we need the most patience, most money, full ability, mental capacity and full understanding before we have another child? The good news is Yahuah has given us everything we need to be the best mothers. Yes children will expose our sin and bring out our worst but that’s the joy in it! They make us better. Sanctification is painful but necessary. #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #youdo

When other dads say they’re done having children…my hubs response…no you’re not. He gets it. He used to think he was done. And now he wouldn’t trade being a dad of 11 for anything. In his words it’s simple… “you either trust God or you don’t.” That doesn’t mean you will have lots of children or even another child. It simply means you surrender your family size to God. You let God be God and trust him to know best. Spend one day with my husband and children and you’ll see, it’s not so scary and it’s not impossible. With God all things are possible and blessed. #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood #fatherhood

Isn’t it crazy how social media always finds something to pick at? 😂 Come on yall, let’s find ways to support each other as we all try to do our best in life. Have you ever noticed people love the videos and posts that call others out. As a society we love to join in on peoples failures and downfalls. Let’s be the change. Look for the good. Support the wins. There’s a difference between sharing why you believe what you believe and calling out someone by name and shaming them. Love yall! #family #faith #blessed #11kids #thecollinskids #motherhood #theydidntevennotice #butalwaysfindsomething

And guess what…people getting married and having children everyday…so I guess I’m never gonna stop. I sure wish I knew what I know now before getting married. It’s such a serious topic we need to talk about. It’s not something we just get to decide on our own. And I have way way too many messages from people with regret wishing they had heard it sooner before they made a permanent decision. So please forgive me…I can’t be quiet. It’s my specific ministry and I’m going to be obedient to Yahuah. #familysize #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #yourewelcome

Everyone mad I do videos with my 11 kids on the internet in the safety of my own home while I homeschool and shelter them. But the real problem is this over sexualized dating culture in society and schools. To be completely honest it makes my blood boil. The things my first two children were exposed to in preK and kindergarten makes me cringe. And seeing the obsession with boyfriend/ girlfriend almost pushed on elementary school kids breaks my heart. We all know what happens prom night and how anyone can be okay sending their child off knowing this just blows my mind. There’s no way around it…kids are overexposed to inappropriate things and over sexualized. Until my children are ready to get married, there won’t be any dates or labels. If you’re not tempted by being in compromising positions or have access to exposure, you can’t have regrets. I am forever grateful for my sheltering growing up and the fact that I didn’t date or kiss until I was 21. No regrets. #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #motherhood

What a crazy generation to live in! When a committed couple that has 11 children is one of the craziest things in 2025, you know the Bible is true. The Bible says people will call good evil and evil good. Be careful what’s accepted and don’t walk in the ways of the world but rather study the Word of Yahuah very carefully. And don’t ever let anyone shame you for having children. Go crazy and make babies! In @brysoncreates words… “Get married, have kids, stay married.” Trust Yahuah to give life in his time and will. And enjoy the blessings of his rewards in your children and future generations. #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #getmarried #havekids #staymarried

One of the most asked questions we get. We only have 2 more seats and then no idea what we will do. lol. #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #funfacts #motherhood

I never leave home without them. And I love it! I actually think I have attachment disorder. If any of them are away from me, my body freaks out. I feel like a part of me is missing. I will not be okay when they leave home. 😳 Anyone else have the same problem? #attached #alwaysbemybabies #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #iminlove

Several years ago, I got hundreds of comments that my marriage was sin. That Yahuah is against mixing races. I was so committed to honoring him I agreed to repent if they were right. I’ve searched scriptures for over ten years now. It’s not in there. Nothing in the Bible is about race. It’s about who you serve. It’s about who you worship. When he says not to intermarry, he’s referring to not marrying other unbelieving nations. To make sure you are not unequally yoked. There’s generational consequences for marrying an unbeliever, not to mention so much heartache. If our lives are for Him, marrying an unbeliever will be the hardest thing you put yourself through. Love for each other isn’t enough. We should love Yahuah more than anyone else. Even Moses married outside his race and when he was mocked for doing so, Yahuah punished those that had something to say about it. Don’t search for your future spouse based on their race or good looks. Search for a man and woman that loves Yahuah and puts him first. Your interracial marriage isn’t sin but be careful not to be unequally yoked because once you’re married, you’ve committed to stay before Yahuah and it will make your life so much harder. #interracialmarriage #family #faith #11kids #blessed #thecollinskids #itsnotsin #dontbeunequallyyoked

Nothing on this earth is eternal except people. Your greatest influence will be always be to your children. There’s no such thing as a greater or greatest ministry. It’s all ministry. And all ministry matters no matter how big or small. Don’t put your ministry at home ahead of your ministry at work or in church and don’t put your ministry at work or in church ahead of your ministry at home. Value people and ministry in general and work as unto the Lord. Invest in people and love them hard. Just like you become those you surround yourself with, remember rather that those around you will become more like you so be the light of Christ. #family #faith #11kids #thecollinskids #blessed #eternity
