    I am so sorry for your pain, Lynn. Please remember these 2 things-No regrets and do not look back.....always, always move forward.

    A piece of advice I keep with me is, “give yourself the grace you’d give someone else”. You are such a positive light on here and so so kind. You are so deserving of grace.

    Go get those dolls and donate them. If they ask, you just tell them “I didn’t love them anymore so they found a new home.” I don’t keep anything anymore for any reason if I don’t love it and man it feels good to be in control and have firm boundaries!

    You are not a failure! You are a light to so many people. God gave you peace and He will get you through these times and you will look back and see how He worked it out for the best. I know it is hard now, you are doing the right thing for you and your family. Praying for you during this time. Phil. 4:13

    Bless you my sweet friend. Having a highway in your backyard wouldn’t be fun for sure. Give yourself some grace sweetie. Remember it’s not the house that makes a home. It’s the family inside. You and God has Got this! Downsizing isn’t a bad thing because you have always loved fixing and creating new things.
    God knows what is best for your family. Make that step and remember he will NEVER leave you! You will have your dream home again so just listen.
    I love you my sweet friend. I’m sending you a big hug and many prayers. 🙏🏼

    Lynn, I cried with you. I also understand that exact feeling. Where one door closes another opens. That's the beauty of life. And the future lynn will say...Ahhhhhh ok, I get it now God... this is what you were preparing me for! Such a blessing to have such experiences. YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOM! You are an AMAZING MOM! You and Chris have always put the children first from what I've seen❤. I know you're going to miss that house. And you know what, that to shall pass! Emma and her brothers will make memories in the new home. It'll be fabulous! Can't wait to see the new house. Hugs!❤

  • @michelleneuman579

    Awe I can relate. We were in our home 12 years that we had built and had so many awesome memories. We lit a candle, said a prayer, cried, and said goodbye to the house. That really helped. Maybe you can do that in your new home and say a prayer for all of the good times and blessings in your new home. Hugs!

    Sounds like you're still going to be blessed. We've been in our house for 37 years. It's an 870 sq ft house with one bathroom on a tiny city lot. We raised 2 kids in it, and our daughter and grandson moved in 5 yrs ago. Count your blessings, dear one. 🙏 💕

    Amen, sister! I am leaving the suburbs with my three children to move closer to my immediate family, cousins and in the small community I grew up in. I’m happy to have my kids back in nature, on land and learning how to be responsible and tired at the end of the day. God bless your family and the new adventure you have ahead of you.

    Lynn, I'm so proud of you!!! 1 for following God's counsel, 2 for how transparent you're being throughout this process, 3 for keeping it moving forward when all of your externals make it seem like you're not doing the right thing. You are an AMAZING woman and you challenge me in my own journey to be the best me I can be. You might feel like you're standing on air, but I pray that God makes you know just how much He has you right in the palm if His hand. He really does have you!!❤❤❤

    I feel your sadness so much. My husband is in the Air Force and we move on average every three years. I thought it would kill me when we left our last home. So many memories, the location, only a 5 hour drive from my family, the house itself, watching my kids have to leave their best friends... It's beyond hard. Praying for you to have peace with your move.💞🙏

    I just started this video but I’m in the middle of packing our home of 18 years right now. I love this home but we’re moving into a house that needs a LOT of work and is smaller and I am so overwhelmed and have had a difficult time wanting to leave. God has confirmed over and over through this process this is his will, but I’ve cried so many times. We’re moving for my daughter to live somewhere safer, closer to her friends and our church, but it’s more expensive, thus the downsize. My husband just started tearing things out of our new house today.

  • @jenakirk5461
    @jenakirk5461 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was in a very similar situation a year and a half ago! We built a house on a brand new street and it was the 2nd house built. Shortly after 53 more homes were built on our small street which we knew was coming but didnt realize how cramped it would feel. We lived there just over two years and decided to look for a new home with some land and less neighbors. I shed many tears over that house during the whole selling process and while packing. But we have grown so much closer as a family and have never been happier, i dont even miss the old house! Please dont feel like a failure!! You are stronger than you think ❤

  • @lisak603
    @lisak603 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m so so sorry. I have lost 2 houses so far in my lifetime.
    One of my patients told me, and it really helped, that it was just a structure, a place to hang your hat. A home is where your FAMILY is, and you can make memories wherever you go.
    And now, I am 51. I am married to the love of my life, now living in the area I’ve always wanted to be, and we are hopefully going to be in our forever home in a few months.
    Time will heal, take lots of video and pictures, and look at it his as a new beginning. I think that’s the best we can hope for! Wishing you peace.

    I totally understand your feelings. Its so sad to watch developers totally destroy neighborhoods and families like this😢 its happening way too close to my home as well and I'll say, we have people coming out full force to fight back. Run to your simplified life and don't look back❤ ❤❤

  • @Stacey_95
    @Stacey_95 ปีที่แล้ว

    I so get your feelings. We moved into our newly built dream home only to realize within a few months that it was falling down around us. The settling was crazy bad and we had to report the driveway, garage floor, and patio 3 times in 18 months. Our walls were cracking severely as were a our neighbors. We had had a home inspection and none of this came up. We opted to sell. It was a gut wrenching experience. The anxiety and fear we had been experiencing for months vanished almost immediately. You are all in my prayers.

  • @grapesofthevine1801
    @grapesofthevine1801 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for being so transparent about your situation and your conversation with God. I can definitely relate. I'm in a similar situation trying to figure out if I'm supposed to move or stay where I'm at. Financially things are rough here and I have an opportunity to move near family but that option kept getting pushed back and it's left me unsure of which direction to go. I too want to live in a quite area I'm so tired of the over populated areas..it really takes a toll on your peace. You're not alone, I understand you, and don't ever feel ashamed to share your journey with God you have no idea how it helps people like me to know I'm not alone. God Bless. You have a new follower :)

    • @mrslynnwhite
      @mrslynnwhite  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can really hear your heart in the situation. What I wanna encourage you to do is imagine yourself where you were at a year from now. If you stay in your current home, do you feel at peace? If not, then, that is a telltale sign. It’s probably time to move on. In my opinion, peace is priceless. You are not alone, and I know this is such a difficult time when you’re in the middle of it. But just do what is right for your soul and the rest will follow along. Sending you so much love!

    @GreignGreign ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Lynn I feel you, goodbyes are really really hard. I’m being told to “let go” of what i wanted too and it has been the hardest thing ever… the biggest test of faith. 😭Gods plan sometimes doesn’t match our plan but he sees all that we can not see. Even though it’s in our best interest to do so , to realize that something is just not going to work out , Can be devastating but God knows what he is doing . He is good. Praying for you and thank you for being so vulnerable transparent and relatable 💕💕💕

    Those feelings from those dolls are also clutter in your heart. If you feel sad or weird you should give them away. It’s a new chapter. You are trying to declutter and downsize, those dolls didn’t make the cut. Your family should be able to understand that ❤ so proud of you ❤

    Lynn, I just want to give you a hug. I felt so many of these similar emotions when we moved from AL to FL. It was SO hard…..but God!
    He is always pleased with obedience. Keep trusting and following His path.
    Don’t judge the next chapter by the first few pages.
    He always leads us to something better even when it doesn’t feel like it at first.
    I’m praying for you. ❤

It took time of course. I got to make new memories with my family here. But sadly my husband passed away 2yrs ago from cancer. I wish I could have given you a big hug while you were crying.

    My mother purchased her home 25 years ago and due to legal issues, she had to place the property up for sale 😢. We're actually getting ready to go to closing in a couple of weeks and it's bittersweet for her. We're moving into much smaller quarters and really downsizing from a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom home to a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom unit. I have feelings of anxiety and my stress level is at 100 😩. But I know we're doing the right thing. We're going back to basics and hoping for the best. I wish you all the best with your move and wish you and your family prosperity in your new home ❤️. Just as long as you have your family, that alone will make any house a home. Be strong 💪🏼 and trust in God. He will help you make it. ❤❤

    30 years ago we were gonna build a house and our loan did not go through. We were devastated, fast forward there’s now a 3 Lane Highway in the backyard of what would’ve been our backyard. We went on to find a home that is on a beautiful cul-de-sac with wonderful neighbors and a huge beautiful backyard. Things happen for a reason

  • @debiespinoza4884
    @debiespinoza4884 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lynn, I understand completely. We moved into our dream house and it was near a freeway and a main thoroughfare, we thought we could handle it, but in the end, our love of peace and quiet won out and we moved. We now live on a lovely piece of land and it is quite and serene, which is, in the end, where our spirits need to be in order to breath. You are very talented and will make your new place into your actual dream home. I agree with another commenter; one day very soon you will look around and say "ah, I get it God, thank you". Take care of yourself and above all...give yourself a whole lot of grace and time.

    I am new to this channel. I’ve only seen a few videos but I was so sad to see this one pop up this morning. I also noticed it was posted 6 months ago so I’m looking forward to watching more videos…. to see the family thrive in their new house. I live in a two bedroom condo with a significant other and my two adult children. It’s not easy but you make do with what you have and LOVE makes all thing possible. You are all together and that’s all that really matters. Stuff is just stuff and honestly… not having a lot of space makes you very aware of what you truly DO need versus just “stuff” that you think you want. XoXo 💋

    Sending hugs and prayers. My husband passed in 2015 and since then I have been selling as much as I can . I have 2 houses on one property and been down sizing for 8 years. I’m almost done. I pray to God all the time to give me strength to get rid of everything I done need and to sell my houses and move down south as my husband and I planned when he would of retired. When I have a hard time with finances and selling my items God and my husband are looking out for me and things get back on track. My husband had always told me he will always watch out over me and he did in life and in his passing and I have so many signs I got from him to know he is still with me. I hope u are enjoying your new home and u will still keep grieving for the other home and the life you and your family would of had in it. I just found your channel today and I know I’m not the only one that is going thru things. God Bless

    I just found your channel. I feel ya! I built a house in my hometown 10+ yrs ago. It was considered rural. Farmland, cows grazing, hay bales, very little traffic noise etc. Fast forward 5 years, the area blew up. It kept blowing up and to get to town was taking me an hour with traffic. Back roads were a thing of the past. More subdivisions & apartments galore. They had to build more schools. I sold my home this year and moved 2+ hrs South to a very small town. Peaceful. Farms. Ranches. Back roads. I travel back often to visit family and the anxiety creeps in. Much more farmland has disappeared and people keep moving there.

    Thank you so much for doing this video.
    I closed my rubberstamp store after 16 years of loving seeing all of my customers come in and go crazy over what I had in there. 10 years ago I closed it. I still have my house full of leftover inventory which I converted to personal use plus all of the things I have done through all of my life.
    What makes it hard is that I look at some thing and see instantly what I can make out of it and I’m talking about pieces of handmade paper and ribbons and pieces of junk that I used to make junk journals which I enjoy more than anything else actually. But the problem is that I am 80 years old and I have a 10 month old puppy and a big garden. I am literally being stifled to death with the stuff that is in boxes in every room. I had to move a lot of things into boxes to keep them away from Sophie. I know that I will feel better if I can just get started.
    I have owned several really nice big houses in my life and I am happiest in this older mobile home in a very nice park. I think I need to approach this as if I am moving because those were the times that I was most efficient and effective at getting rid of stuff.
    Thank you so much for doing this. If you can do it with the baby at your heels I can do it with my puppy at my heels.🐶

    Bless your heart! I cried for a year when God led me in my move, just an hour away, from my home of 47 years. Best move I ever made but it took a while to see it! Prayers for you and your family!

    I’m so sorry Lynn. I was crying with you at the end. I know you’re sad to be losing the house you love so much. But I love that you are following God’s leading. And that will bring you so much more happiness.❤️

    Oh, Lynn. I am so sorry that you are having a hard time. I felt the same way 9 years ago when we sold our first home. I knew God was telling me it was the right thing to do but it was so hard. God’s timing is perfect though. And in time, you will see that. Just keep seeking His guidance for reassurance. Praying for you and your family. That you all will adjust to your new home and see how God moved for all of you. 🙏🏽❤️

    Lyn I am praying for you. I know from my life the path God leads us through can be hard. But as you said He shows up for us and comforts us. What a wonderful leap of faith you are taking. This year you have expressed that you need a more clutter free life. You are taking steps to preserve your mental health. Please continue to stay close to God. He will get you through this difficult time. I am so proud of you. I am praying for you and your family. God bless you!!! God is love!!!

    I think so many of us are feeling this way! I've been wanting to get back to the basics for awhile now...but also find it very difficult to leave the home we built and raised our children in 26 yrs. ago. Wishing you all the best and an enriching life with your new move!!! Adventures happen when God is calling!

    Hello friend, I was literally sobbing watching this. We are in the middle of trying to find a home in another state. We feel God is leading us to move. It will mean leaving our elderly parents and our home town that we both grew up in. It’s the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life😢😢😢😢😢 I have cried a million tears and there will be more to come. I TOTALLY know what you are going through and I will be praying for you and I ask you to pray for me. WE GOT THIS because GOD’s got us 🤗🤗😊

    Lynn, I just found your channel. I have been searching for decluttering / moving videos. So, I saw just one or maybe two of your declutter ones. Today I found this one. It really hit home for me. I have been in my house for 42 years. It's a two story four square. It has one bathroom and it's upstairs. We are getting older and downsizing or trying..lol. lately as I pack I am getting so emotional. But that's not the big picture of this comment. I have been wanting to move for several years and it wasn't happening. I began asking God to help me get out of this house and away from the neighborhood that has completely changed. Long story short I had a wish list. One story home, 2 or 3 bedrooms, 1 and a half bathes. In the country . Around here thats almost impossible. But, God makes everything possible. He heard my prayer and answered. Completely. I know that He was instrumental in every way answering my prayer. I am so touched by your boldness to speak of His leading your journey. I pray that you will fall in love with your new home. That you family will be blessed for being so faithful and that you end up happier than you ever dreamed. At this time I am leaving the house that we remodeled and made the way we wanted to a semi fixer upper. I can't wait to see what God has planned.

God always provides - I’ll say some prayers for you and family - It’s inspiring you’re able to do this - sometimes it ends up being a better situation - god bless! Simple life is peace , 💪 you got this!

    My biggest decluttering tip: if its less than $20 and you can easily replace it, get rid of it for the move.

  • @KelleeYouPersonalOracle

    I live close to the area you just moved from. I can totally relate to the traffic and craziness our once small town has become. I’ve been here since the 90’s. We just bought a house last year and I just can’t deal with how bad the road construction has gotten. I told my husband if it doesn’t get better soon, we have to get out of here. I’m so happy you guys were able to find a better home. God has been placing the same things on my heart as well.

    You are a beautiful person and a wonderful Mother, I am sure where ever you move to Lynn, you will turn that house into a beautiful home for you and your family. Sometimes I think we have to remind ourselves of what we do have and how lucky we are, especially compared to those who don't even have food for the table. If anyone can make it you can! I hope you will include us in the next chapter of your life, thank you so much for sharing........I must admit when you cried so did I.........😪

    Based on what you said about your mom and her emotional connection to the gifts she give, her love language may be gifts. She associates gifts with love and sees it as disregarding her love if you don't want it or get rid of it. You just need to tell her that you receive her love and appreciate the heart in which it was given. I had the same issue with my parents too. God bless! Hope it helps!

    I just wanted to reach through this video and hug you! Change is never easy, especially when you don’t feel certain in your decisions. But know that no matter what happens, if you continue asking god to draw close to you and you draw close to him, you will be shown the way. I’m a new subscriber and I’m so excited to see your family thrive in a new place that you make your own ❤️ have grace with yourself. It will work out in due time. You may not feel that way right away but one day soon you will look back on these feelings and events and say “man I’m so glad we chose to do this.” Hang in there 💕

    Lynn, this video really hit me. I haven't been following you for long but I can feel the pain you are going through leaving the memories and the hopes behind. My husband and I have been in our home for 10 years. We've brought 2 babies home to it, 2 puppies and have shared many laughs. We know this is not our forever home, but that doesn't mean that when it is time to go that I won't feel like you do now. You know what is best in the end, but its hard to see why it's best when you love something so deeply. I hope in time that you are able to give your new home the chance to show you why it is a better fit ❤
