I grew up upper middle class & now we’re below the poverty line. It took me a VERY long time to be okay with coming from more & living with less, providing my kids with less. But I’m home with my kids & I have an amazing bond & relationship with them because of it. I grew up being taken care of by other people because my parents worked so much. I didn’t thrive in my childhood the way I’m watching my kids thrive. I’m homeschooling them, and we have the kindest local community group. I got bullied throughout my preteen years. My perspective really had to change. I put myself thousands into debt to try & keep up with what I had before I realized we may not be rich in money, but we’re rich in what matters ♥️🙏🏻
“Rich in what matters” yes 👏🏽❤️🥹 that’s literally the most important thing thank you for sharing part of your story ❤️ praise God because no matter how little money we may have, if we stay close to Him, he WILL provide, even when it seems like your barely getting by, or wondering how your going to make it, he’s always there and he never fails 🙌🏽
I literally tell myself this EVERY DAY because there are things about my home that I dislike that I used to allow to take up too much space in my mind. Life is much more enjoyable when we have a positive mindset. Yes, please include me in your prayers. Thank you ❤
It really is 😊 especially when most of the time we can’t really do anything about it then and there, so why let it consume our thoughts and take away precious joy from us? I will ❤️
Thanks ❤ I’ve been frustrated in my home lately and the Lord keeps reminding me that I can tackle little decluttering & re-organizing tasks (like you’re doing in your kitchen drawers) each day in like 15 mins instead of using the excuse that I don’t have hours a day to devote to it. Right now working through a closet that is going to function much better. God is so good and always provides
I sooo resonated when you said your hopes and dreams turned into comparing and complaining! I’m so guilty of that. Thank you for sharing your heart with us Janae ♥️
I’m happy me sharing has blessed you, Daisy ❤️ it’s hard not to let our ‘wants’ create a discontent heart within us, but with the Lords help he will help you overcome that, I have no doubt 😊
Omg I’m so glad I found you today. I use to watch your other channel and I was literally thinking about you. Bam the Holy Spirit help me find you. I’ve been dealing with so much as a SAHM. I have a 20, 11, 10, 3 year old. So all walks of life. It has been a struggle especially being 40 with a toddler. I have to say finding you bought me peace and I cleaned my home with so much calmness. I’m in my journey of finding Christ and it has been a struggle with choosing my time wisely when my toddler goes to sleep. I’m working on this journey and know I will turn to the Lord. I’m so excited I found you
Wow! Just, all glory to God. That’s amazing! I imagine it’s not easy at times, you have 4, I have 2, yet it’s real tough over here sometimes so I can only imagine 😅 God always gets us through though. I’m so happy to hear your on your journey to finding and being closer to Christ. That is just 🙌🏽👏🏽🥳so awesome to hear! I’m so so glad your here Jeanette 🤍
Thank you for this reminder!❤ I aspire to be more content with what I have & focusing on the positive, it’s a struggle not gonna lie . negative thinking seems to come so easily!
@@luvly__bri3 of course 🫶🏽 your not wrong at all, it is very easy to think negatively. with the Lords help, he can renew your mind and create a new heart within you, and one day it wont be as much of a struggle as it is now. So don’t loose heart ❤️ “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life."
Could you maybe make a video on what cleaning supplies you use? As far as laundry soap, dish soap, multipurpose sorry? Something of this sort. I'm interested in using less chemicals.. needing ideas and inspo!!🙏
I struggle with this a lot, comparing my life and being discontent and constantly worried and stressed until it's affecting my health. I'm praying the Lord help me to be content and I'm practising gratitude when I notice myself doing it.
So happy to have found this video and channel that focuses on Christ centered homemaking. 🥰What a great reminder. I absolutely agree. 🥰 Thank you for sharing my beautiful sister. I just subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. 🌻
I am the opposite. I love old things that have been handed down for generations. In fact my den looks more like a storage room right now because when my mom passed, I couldn’t part with so much of her stuff. I have got to tackle that room and figure out what I have room to keep. I’m very much in the grieving stage and it’s about impossible for me to think of parting with her stuff. I didn’t bring clothes and stuff like that. It was donated to charities that give them away to people In need. I did however end up with some furniture, some decor and THREE sets of her dishes. I also brought home some of her nicer towels and blankets and some kitchen items. I’m praying the the good Lord will help me figure it out after the grieving process. Thank you for the video. ❤
@@amybeasley7388 thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏽 I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 everyone grieves in their own way and time, so don’t be too hard on yourself 🤍 & He most absolutely will help you with it all 😌
I am the type who loves small kitchens! Compact is best to me! I don't have much storage but i have a hoosier cabinet holding a lot in other room & blessed to have a basement for storage & home grocery store. I know I'm blessed & i focus on learning recipes. But i have bought vintage used things for my interests-affordable decor. Agree with you! Making do. I think your kitchen is awesome. Thanks
Thank you 😊 🩷 I love that you love those things ☺️ it’s funny, reflecting back on the audio it probably sounded like I dislike all “old things” but I actually do like certain vintage / antique things. My daughters dresser is very old and has that vintage worn in old look to it - because it is, and I actually searched for months looking for it and bought it second hand because that’s the look I was going for 😅
I had the exact table like yours. Someone blessed us with it. Yeah it was old, and not my style but I was so grateful for that table I took good care of that table (3 years) until God allowed us to move and we were able to get something else. So many good memories were made around that table 😊
Gratitude is very important, we must be grateful for everything and most for the life we are given by God, because without it we would not be able to experience what we have… there is a poem I love to listen to “we are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars we have a right to be here, and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should” there will always be things that is greater and lesser than ourselves, acknowledge what we do have and be grateful once we are grateful we can ask for and gain greater things, however with what ever greatness we do achieve we must remain forever humble and grounded knowing that we came here without and we will leave without!
Love what you said at the end Job 1:21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” ❤️
I have two small build in cabinets. The rest is made of of different sizes of tables. I keep my silverware in mason jars on the counter. I have collected things here and there. Does it look Instagram worthy, definitely not lol Is it functional? Yes.
