This keeps one from loving anything more than one loves God. If God's not first, it opens the door to idolatry, where something or someone is loved so much, it or they becomes an idol.

I admire your dedication to modest dressing, spending money wisely, & putting your family first. I have a 12 year old granddaughter who is my heart.

    Gossiping & avoidance/fear of confrontation is definitely not just a Mennonite thing. I've struggled with that my entire life. I try really hard to either talk directly to the person or keep it to myself, but the need to vent sometimes outweighs that.
    Finding your channel was a combination of a couple of things. First, I live in Montana & we have quite a few Amish & Mennonite communities. In a world where social media, as well as people in general, can be critical or downright mean, I thoroughly enjoy being around someone who goes out of their way to be kind. I was also one of the subscribers Lynette sent your way. You're both amazing & I get a smile on my face every time I see that notification bell light up!

While we don’t live the same lifestyle I love your outlook, acceptance, and recognition that not all Christians do things the same way, and that’s okay. I don’t think there’s a “right” way to have a relationship with God. That’s between you and him. And our lives are VERY different. But I love what you stand for and the messages you send to the world. You’re doing good work.

I'm always excited when you have a new video and although we differ in spiritual beliefs I find your welcoming and genuine personality keeps me coming back.

    Wanted to say your videos are uplifting and helpful in many other ways.
    I think everyone (or almost) struggles with gossiping, especially women. I believe we, as a species, need to talk about our feelings and this is a way to unload, compare notes, and make sure we are "normal". We just need to be aware of our intent and try not to be hurtful or mean in the process.

    I’ve always been told and taught if you say nothing but the truth, you have no stories to keep straight. I use this when talking about other people as well. I also don’t mind saying that I don’t need to know whatever gossip they have. I’m definitely not perfect but I do try. I also have no problem confronting people that talk behind my back as I feel I always have room for improvement, and at the very least I feel I (and everyone else) deserve more respect than that. Also I’m not a mom or a Christian but I do love your videos! Keep up the great work!

I'm not a mom, nor am I a Mennonite; I'm not even really Christian, even though I believe in a God. I just appreciate how kind you are and how you stick to your morals and are full of integrity. There are things we disagree on, I'm sure, but I feel like you'd still be respectful of my beliefs as I would be of yours. I think that's really special. Thanks for such fun content!

    I just want to say, your Instagram stories have really encouraged me. After a bad day at work, you shared a story about receiving negativity and to not let it bother you because as long as we are happy and know who we are in Christ then it doesn’t matter. It really made me feel so much better and was a great reminder. Keep it up! Sending Love from Alabama

    Hi, Megan! I'm a Christian, too, a believer in Jesus, but not Mennonite like yourself. Your answers to questions relating to your personal faith in Christ were so humble & helpful. Thanks for explaining your beliefs without judging others. I respect that! Thanks for sharing your smile & fun-loving personality on TH-cam. I also watch Lynette Yoder and like her personality, too. It's great to have wholesome content to enjoy.
    Blessings from South Korea!

    I adore and admire Meghan ... She is wise and open and her videos are a relaxing pleasure for me ... I do not blame her for putting her family first before getting too involved with her followers ... She spends much time on her videos and much respect for her drawing a line in favor of her husband and children ...

    It is wonderful to hear about your life. I am 65 years old, and am thrilled that you have learned some many of life's lessons so young. I grew up in the " church", but by my late 40's became disillusioned with the mixed messages.

    I am in Scotland I am not a young mum, I am 53 with grown children, I enjoy your video's talking behind other's backs is not only Mennonite, it is all walks of life, I am a christian, still searching for the right church, I love the modesty aspect of Mennonites, and feel it could be more widely spread for the young girls of today.

    “Meet ups” are a TH-camr thing from what I know. Maybe it’s for people with managers or management companies but they put together an event at a public place and people line up to meet you (or if it’s smaller come hang out with you). Maybe that’s what people are asking for?

    • @sophialyn16

    As an ageing, childless, British atheist, this really shouldn't be a channel for me - but I love it! I enjoy learning about other cultures, and the more I hear about our differences, the more I see how, fundamentally, we are all the same. Keep up the good work - and thank you for telling me about the importance of 'liking' a piece; I had assumed simply subscribing was enough, but now I'll be hitting that 'like' button too!

    Gorgeous Bible Megan! I’ve felt convicted about head covering (as in I feel I want to), but the Elders I’ve spoken to in our churches, and our general community here in England definitely look upon these things as “different” or not relevant for today. Not sure I like the idea of cherry-picking from the Bible 🤔 Our LDS communities in England do wear Alice bands which sets them apart.... I love that you wear a veiling. I think it’s absolutely beautiful. ♥️ x

    Thank you Megan for sharing your life and being so open with us. I am a Christian, Baptist Faith. I brought up to dress modestly as well but we can wear pants and shorts. I wear a very modest swimsuit with a skirt. I don’t judge you at all by your choice of attire it’s a convection you have, that we all have in our different faiths. Lol you are so funny and precious. We do the same thing about talking at home about something we saw or heard. Thank you for being honest with us! Don’t change a thing sweetie. No need to respond to my posts lol I can’t imagine how long it takes to just read thru them all!!! See you next time.

ETA: former elem teacher here. So many times I find myself thinking "Oh she soooo was a teacher! I know what she's doing there..." Haha. It really stays with us. I know for sure you were excellent at it and the kiddos had to just adore you.

    Be yourself! I admire you and your culture. My childhood babysitter was German Baptist. I love them to this day and I am almost 60 years old. I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church, but we all are simply Christians if we follow the Bible and it's teachings.

I cover as well, and not just for the Biblical reasons but it really helps remind me to keep my actions and heart in check! I grew up church of Christ and we are almost identical to Mennonite in a lot of ways. Also know what you mean about the gossiping thing too 🙈

    Well, I’m a born and raised unbaptised atheist from Scandinavia. I’m not a mom, and I don’t believe in modesty or that the husband should be the head of the family. BUT I find your channel sweet and relaxing to watch. I’m interested in theology (in a sciency/psychology kind of way) and although we have very different beliefs (and you probably believe that I’ll go to hell for a lot of reasons), I like you as a person. You seem to be kind and smart and i wish you the best!

    Megan, don’t worry about the ones asking you controversial/too personal questions.
    Some people seem to think that just because you are on TH-cam, that they have a right to ask you anything they want and you are obligated to answer them, or that you owe them something. Do only what you feel comfortable doing. Believe me it’s not just in the Mennonite culture, when people talk about others. It happens everywhere. Keep doing what you are doing and just be yourself. I really think that is why so many people enjoy watching you and your channel has grown so quickly because you are just you, and you don’t try and be something you’re not. That is so nice to see, in this day and age. It’s really refreshing to find someone who is not only beautiful on the outside, but more importantly on the inside. Keep up the awesome videos. I love your channel! 💕

    Gossip was such a struggle for me. Then I remember being convicted about the time i spend with people. As moms we hardly get friend time! It should be uplifting and refreshing- so i decided to be intentional about not leaving a playtime until I mentioned Jesus and encouraged someone. It has helped tremendously. And those who i used to gossip with suddenly don’t ask me to hang out anymore 😏☺️

    I love to collect quotes and your thing on negativity made me think of this one. "Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do and damned if you don't." By Eleanor Roosevelt. You will never stop learning, my Grampy told me the day you don't learn something is the day you leave this earth. Just living is a lesson in itself. You are a sweet young lady and I love to watch you.
