Dawn is a starter and Diana is the finisher. I've missed watching you both together... Sundays are not as fun as it used to anymore without the two of you.
Gals, the two of you are so complete together. I totally understand that you can't always meet together but I sure appreciate the videos when you do. Thanks for the reminders and encouragement from a Christian perspective.
@@DianaKokku, I so miss you and Dawn on Sundays! So, please keep having each other on each of your videos! Oh, and great message! It is definitely a season of divisiveness and we need more than ever to love and support one another, to lift up and encourage others and you two do that so beautifully!
@@Fantastico72 in fact there are many who are "spiritually" dead as it states in God's Word. I look around and it's so obvious in many people. They're numb and/or turn a blind eye to all the madness. Then there are those who actually enjoy much of the evil goings on here. This is Written too! I'm definitely not of this world and what influences it. I wait however long it will take for it to change. It will, because it's Promised. It can't happen soon enough for me. Blessings to you today.
@@yime6631 yes… we do have to hold to the truth, the only thing that will stand for us and the world. we have to pray for God’s grace to keep us focused on Jesus. Blessings to you as well
I really miss your "sisters' Sundays"- miss it a LOT. I completely understand the reason that you all decided to stop the "sisters Sunday" videos- we don't want you stretched too thin and feeling overwhelmed. But there aren't any videos of both of you now on a regular basis, and I felt they were very helpful. Even if you recorded it together over Zoom (because I know one of the issues was that it was difficult to get physically together) I think that the value is in the repartee between the two of you. I love all of your videos and watch them all.
Oh I am so glad Dawn that you got ahold of your sister to come with a message for all of us. Diana, you two girls are such blessings to all of us. Love you both and thank you Jesus for using them.
Funny you both saying to unplug. In June I quit my adult kids. My 46 year old had been critically ill for two years ( I was her full time caregiver, she's much better now) and my other two are recovering drug addicts. Anyway they have ALOT of drama all the time. I was just totally worn out and literally told them I couldn't do it anymore. Oh and I'm a widow. I just recently started to talk to them again but only at my discretion. They are now taking care of each other ( mostly). Fortunately they're about 3000 miles away from me. I only watch very little t. v. and you tube, no news. Read my Bible and worship music. I started the bible recap last week and I'm enjoying it very much. All this to say I feel ya girls, unplug!! I'm finding my joy and peace in the Lord!!
My husband and I do not watch a lot of television but we have been enjoying The Chosen. Binge Jesus!🙂 I would highly recommend that everyone “Come & See” Jesus & his disciples in an exceptionally relatable life changing way!❤️🔆
I deliberately stopped listening to news programmes at the start of the pandemic. I was so anxious that something would happen a family member. I haven't missed it, friends and family would bring up situations world wide and I could feel the anxiety building. I can't stop all the bad in the world. I can pray for those caught up in war, poverty and other hardships. I don't need to know all the details, my prayers are still heartfelt and valid. Thank you for reminding me it's ok to do this. I loved seeing you together again. 🙏🏻🇮🇪
I could have written just what you wrote here, songbird 30 :) Did exactly what you said, and have felt what you thought as well. And I remind myself of the wisdom that you typed here...God knows our heart even when we don't know the hearts of everyone and everything going on around us 😍
I did the same but lately slipped back into listening because my dad was a proud veteran of 45 years. I started thinking about what he would think of the latest news. My anxiety went through the roof again. So off went the news for a second time. I’m trying hard to make that stick, and I am focusing on things I can do for God in my circle of influence.
I so needed this.... I have just been angry at life all the time lately, and you showed me why.. I think I can change my attitude now.. I sure hope so..Thank you ladies for your discussion
Ours souls (and body and minds) were built to live in one location and only know what was happening to those immediately around us in our town or city. We could help, support, respond and reach out to our fellow man in need (fire, flood, poverty, sickness) without being overwhelmed by what was happening everywhere in the world at once. While we may not feel we can turn it all off all the time, I agree that focusing on one way you can help at a time, and then going all in on that, is a way to still respond to our global communities and better cope ourselves.
Thank you beautiful people!! Just what I needed to hear right at this moment. We do not war against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of darkness. I will STAND, having done all I can. God bless you both ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Unplug the kids and have a coffee. We are digging in hard with legos and simplifying the house. Focusing on finishing all those little projects. Thank you!
60 days ago, I picked up my Bible and turned off all the news. I am not turning my back on the world, I feel I’m doing the most through prayer, that I ever have. Have your own heart at peace; one at a time, the world changes for the better.
Amen and thank you! I had stopped watching the news early into the pandemic because I just couldn’t. I was bombarded with thoughts about sticking my head in the sand, about avoiding change, and I fought those with fear. Thank you for being a voice of reason for our Lord!
I have experienced so many breaks between my friends and family. This is right on point for me. Thank you. Our world is in such a hard place right now. We truly need kindness, love and compassion for each other. ♥️
Thank you for this word! No one has ever connected the dots of “When we don’t have peace it’s because we’re more connected to the world than our Savior.” I have struggled with peace for around 13 years and doubting my salvation because of it! I feel silly because it’s so simple. 🤯🤦🏻♀️☺️ God is using you both in my season of isolating motherhood. I found your channel through Dawn’s. Thank you both for being Godly influences. 🤍
Thank you for these timely words of wisdom! I've gone back to the beginning to watch all your Sunday videos and they've been such a tremendous encouragement! Just the reminder that we can still have Joy and Peace by staying plugged into our Heavenly Father even when the world is so contentious. It's so life giving! Thank you!
Thank you for this discussion. I chose to eliminate the tv news from my daily routine approx 20 yrs ago. My nervous system was shot. Now, after recovering I decided that I needed to keep the negativity away. This has made a huge impact on my health and we'll being. I still pray and know that's the best line of defense, I just don't need all the extreme details. At times I pondered if that was lazy or insensitive of me, but quickly I was reminded that if I don't take care of myself, I can't be of help to others. Your input was sweetly validating. Thank you 💕
Our Church is going to contribute to sponsoring a family. They say it takes about 10k for the first 3 months. I am so happy to be able to help in some way. To make a difference is healing.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Philippians 4:8 The Holy Spirit brought this verse to mind when I was being bombarded with the news and events of the times we live in. I felt it was permission for me from him to "check out" and let my mind and soul rest. Rest in him. Spending time in prayer for others that need lifted up that are hurting. Because that is the good that I can fill myself with all while stepping away from the things that are pulling me down. Blessings
Today is my 43rd bday! I am grateful the Lord has given me life for 43 yrs. However, I never thought In my life time, literally I would actually see all of this worldly chaos. It does break my heart. It feels so much to handle emotionally, spiritually and physically. But I can hear both of your voices reminding me...my world was only to be able to handle is 150 people max, That God is IN CONTROL, We are to continue to pray, and hang on to our Living Hope, continue to share the Gospel, lean into His Peace, and so much more. Thank you...love the 2 of you
Love seeing you two together. You always compliment each other perfectly when you share messages. Thank you for lifting us up and reminding us of Christ's love :)
Husband and I just finished a media fast because we needed to disconnect from all the sources of anxiety and stress. No outside input for 2 weeks. No youtube, no news videos, etc. I had just started my journey to simplifying my home, but it helped to recenter and refocus on my Lord, my only source of peace, and on my home and family, the most important things on my plate right now. Jesus' peace be upon you both and His blessings upon you and yours. 🙏
I feel so blessed that in searching for a more organized home I have found so much growth in my personal spiritual journey. I don’t think it’s coincidence. Ladies, you are doing God’s work. Thank you for your faithfulness.
I needed to hear this. My mom is in hospital in intensive care and I have been worried and stressed. I feel restless and distracted. I need peace in my heart and soul and only God can provide that. 🙏
This really spoke to me. I am watching it more than a week after it was published, but I believe God knows exactly what we need and when we need it. Be blessed!
So needed this. I am in tears this hit home with me. Too much to carry, with the world and within my heart. Thank you for speaking to me. Love you two.
This same thing has been weighing on my heart this week. God is undoubtedly working here. I work in a hopistal and have had a very challenging 1.5 years mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. My best work pal, who pulled me through some dark times, doesn't happen to agree with me on a lot of things. What a shame it would have been to miss out on that friendship and happiness for the sake of being divided. 💙
Such a great message! I had to shut everything out years ago because of anxiety. I have learned to educate myself at my speed and if people start shoving the news at me I set firm boundaries. I will block them if they keep sending triggering messages. We weren’t created to receive so much information all the time. And Can I ruin house hunters for you,? Lol. They already are living in the house they bought! They actually have to move out and have HGTV move all their stuff out! 🙃
I only have the ability to hit “thumbs up” ONCE, and I only have two THUMBS (thankfully), but if I had TEN thumbs I’d put all ten of them up. Your words made tears streak my face and my heart was moved. I don’t think we realize how much emotional stress the NEWS has produced in our human bodies. Even though I turn to Jesus daily, even though I’ve studied the scriptures daily for decades, I had this emotional tension build up that I wasn’t completely aware of. Thank you for your words. They seemed to break the dam and ease some tension. Turning my eyes upon Jesus
This is why you need to do Sunday morning devotionals again, together! Even in the car. It helps us, too. 😍 I really miss the two of you on Sunday mornings as I get ready for church. ❤
Wow so right on. I have come to the same conclusion and have started limiting my internet diet by 50%. By the way, I really miss you two on Sunday mornings. This was delightful, insightful, and God-honoring. Thank you so much!
Really miss you two together... and I TOTALLY agree... Even a long conversation with my sister (politically opposite of me), will spin me out for days... I find myself emotionally so weak, frazzled, exhausted... "thin" -- I have NO emotional resiliency or bandwidth. I, before you suggested it, turned off ALL the things... and you are right. If it's big enough news, it'll get through!
Compassion fatigue - this is exactly what I’ve been feeling lately. It’s always more prevalent when I’m not consistently in the Word and in prayer. After watching this video, my goal is to pick one thing that I CAN do. Thank you for reminders that we need to stay connected to God.
How lovely to see you both together again! Great message too! And Diana, you are totally right...we can't have true peace in all this turmoil unless we stay connected to the source of peace, Jesus! Thanks for sharing ladies!!! 💝
You two sweet sisters are being used by God to touch hearts and change lives. Dawn, your enthusiasm and desire to help others is changing the way people feel about themselves, their families and their homes. You are giving us hope! Diana, your passion for God’s word and ability to bring Bible truths into every day applications is altering lives and eternities. You bring understanding and clarity where there used to be confusion. You are bringing Jesus to the internet. What good fortune to have stumbled across the Minimal Mom and now Diana’s channel. It was a ‘God thing’ and I am so grateful. I have shared your channels and words of wisdom with so many friends and family members. Thank you for following God’s leading in your lives.❤️
I don't know... I'd like to believe that we all want to get to the same destination, and at one point I did believe it... But it's really looking like a sizeable portion of the US doesn't actually want to work to help relieve or is indifferent to the "other"'s struggle.. But I'm happy you're with those who are working toward the same goal as you two ❤️
The thing is, the author of all the bad things happening is Satan. When we see his emissaries as the problem, we are focusing on the wrong thing. Those things are temporary, they are flesh and blood. Our spirits are eternal and The Lord wants us to fight spiritual with spiritual. Look at the spirits behind the people and fight that in prayer, only. To get caught up in the “me against you” will ultimately lead us down a dead end path and we all will lose. Politics are not the answer, either way. Jesus is the ONLY answer.
I agree…I do not believe we are all trying for the same outcome! I also think it wrong to turn off the world…that is what happened with the Nazis…no one wanted to SAY ANYTHING….for years! I believe we have. A Responsibility …we ARE our brothers keeper!
@@susanconley4842 I absolutely agree. We have to fight for justice and for one another. The concern here is if taking in all of this news is coming at our own emotional or mental health. Many people are just overwhelmed right now. But from a place of connection with the Lord, we can take up the cause and truly make a difference. This is not a time for Christians to shrink back. I couldn’t agree more.
@@DianaKokku you and Dawn are absolutely on point about what the over stimulation and constant stream of media is doing to our psyches. It's so important to hear this again and again as you remind us that we have permission to not only tune out these horror stories we probably have no control on, but to also focus on those around us and the things we do control. I know you've both said it before, but really it helps to hear it again so thank you ❤️

Agree!!!!!
I miss it more than I thought I would for sure!
Agreed!
There is definitely something special about the two of them together
Yep totally agree

Thank you for sharing, Barb, we love it too! 🥰
@@DianaKokku, I so miss you and Dawn on Sundays! So, please keep having each other on each of your videos! Oh, and great message! It is definitely a season of divisiveness and we need more than ever to love and support one another, to lift up and encourage others and you two do that so beautifully!
Amen
I agree- I moss it too.
AGREE
"If you don't feel Gods peace, then you are more connected to the world than the Savior"
Yes! That statement is so powerful.
That was a nugget of truth to meditate one for sure! Wow! I want to be connected with my savior!
@jillmartin I am definitely not connected to this world, you would have to be dead not to feel what’s happening all around us
@@Fantastico72 in fact there are many who are "spiritually" dead as it states in God's Word. I look around and it's so obvious in many people. They're numb and/or turn a blind eye to all the madness.

The two of you together is food for the soul. Like chocolate and peanut butter!🍫🥜 Great message and reminder! 🙏🙏🙏
Haha, nothing better than peanut butter cups! What a visual and thank you for the love 😉❤️🥰
My favorite flavor is thattt...lol
What a great and perfect way to describe this!
Beautiful! Thank you both for being so real. Our fight is not with flesh and blood. 👌

Agreed!!
I agree it was also a tremendously great witness to your unbelieving viewers.
Miss those videos too!!
Oh I am so glad Dawn that you got ahold of your sister to come with a message for all of us. Diana, you two girls are such blessings to all of us. Love you both and thank you Jesus for using them.
The two of you together on screen is and was pure gold.
YES!
I've been watching old reruns of The Waltons.
When God sends the perfect message right when you need it. ❤️ Thank you both!
Love your car talk!💕 I’ve had good friends for the past 50 years that I don’t even know the last few years. This was a timely message.
Even God took a day of rest. It’s ok to unplug from the earthly world regularly.
Thank you for saying that 💜
Please Lord give us Your peace and Your peace alone. ♥️♥️♥️
Funny you both saying to unplug. In June I quit my adult kids. My 46 year old had been critically ill for two years ( I was her full time caregiver, she's much better now) and my other two are recovering drug addicts. Anyway they have ALOT of drama all the time. I was just totally worn out and literally told them I couldn't do it anymore. Oh and I'm a widow. I just recently started to talk to them again but only at my discretion.

When I realize my attitude is wrong I ask the Lord to change my heart. Because I can’t change my heart without His help.
Yep. Even turning Christians against each other in our church 😢 Come Lord Jesus Come!

You two are a part of how God blesses me with perspective and encouragement. Thank you!

We have a sabith Sunday from electrics. I would love to do more days...baby steps
Old Andy Griffith shows for the win. Heartwarming, loving, and FUNNY escapism. ❤️
I’m watching Perry Mason reruns but even those can be a negative
That is the show I watch every time I'm in my kitchen cooking or cleaning up
I agree Sunday is not fun without you together.....it was so special!!

We need to worship ourselves back to peace. Wise words, thank you

Grace - give grace! God's grace!🥰
I have experienced so many breaks between my friends and family. This is right on point for me. Thank you. Our world is in such a hard place right now. We truly need kindness, love and compassion for each other. ♥️

Thank you for your timely word it is so easy to get caught up in what is going on instead of entering God's rest.
Your sincerity and love shine through into the darkness of this hour in history! Your two are so very precious, positive, grounded and steadfast!
I'm so so glad we are sisters in Christ.
What a blessing this was to me!! I’m in tears. I love how God is using you both to encourage others. 💕🙏🏻

A good word! I have turned off the turmoil for the most part, and immersed myself in my favorite gardening videos and working in my gardens! 😇
I feel so blessed that in searching for a more organized home I have found so much growth in my personal spiritual journey. I don’t think it’s coincidence. Ladies, you are doing God’s work. Thank you for your faithfulness.
Your families should be soooo proud of you two. You're such Blessings!!!!
Dawn prays in a way that I can relate too.
I love your prayers Diana, so calming and grounding, thank you sooo much. 🙏🙏🙏💖lots of love from germany
I needed to hear this. My mom is in hospital in intensive care and I have been worried and stressed. I feel restless and distracted. I need peace in my heart and soul and only God can provide that. 🙏
Sending love and prayers your way. Praying that God provides peace, comfort, strength, and healing.
Praying for you the peace of acceptance.
So so necessary for us to hear right now!! Thank you for taking the time to speak into our lives. ❤️

Amen and Amen!!
So needed this. I am in tears this hit home with me. Too much to carry, with the world and within my heart. Thank you for speaking to me. Love you two.
Such passion and powerful imagery in today's message. Thank you for this. I agree with the others -- you two make an awesome team! :)
Amen! God gives us peace! Isaiah 26:3
This was the perfect start to my morning. Love you, sisters. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and Diana, for bringing it right back to Jesus!

Hi Diana!! I miss you and your sister Dawn together on Sundays. It was a great way to start my day.❤️
Wow so right on. I have come to the same conclusion and have started limiting my internet diet by 50%. By the way, I really miss you two on Sunday mornings. This was delightful, insightful, and God-honoring. Thank you so much!
I have missed seeing yall together
So good! I’ve been wrestling through this issue right now. It’s hard, but God is still a good and faithful father.
you have just described my life and my. compassion fatigue. you two dears are so on point. bless you both for your encouragement.
Really miss you two together... and I TOTALLY agree... Even a long conversation with my sister (politically opposite of me), will spin me out for days... I find myself emotionally so weak, frazzled, exhausted... "thin" -- I have NO emotional resiliency or bandwidth. I, before you suggested it, turned off ALL the things... and you are right. If it's big enough news, it'll get through!
It was wonderful to see you two together! This was so special! Thank you!!!! God bless you both!
A very needed message for me this week. Bless you for your sharing & wisdom.
Oh I’ve missed you both together si much!! Thank you for all the beautiful words of encouragement and for praying with us!! Be blessed 🥰🥰!!
You sweet Gals are such an incredible Team! Thank you so much for this Gift of reminders. What a Blessing!🌸🌿
Compassion fatigue - this is exactly what I’ve been feeling lately. It’s always more prevalent when I’m not consistently in the Word and in prayer. After watching this video, my goal is to pick one thing that I CAN do. Thank you for reminders that we need to stay connected to God.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
How lovely to see you both together again! Great message too! And Diana, you are totally right...we can't have true peace in all this turmoil unless we stay connected to the source of peace, Jesus! Thanks for sharing ladies!!! 💝
I just rewatched this and shared it with my husband. It’s one of my very favorite videos on your channel, Diana. Thank you!
You two sweet sisters are being used by God to touch hearts and change lives.
Dawn, your enthusiasm and desire to help others is changing the way people feel about themselves, their families and their homes. You are giving us hope!
Diana, your passion for God’s word and ability to bring Bible truths into every day applications is altering lives and eternities. You bring understanding and clarity where there used to be confusion. You are bringing Jesus to the internet.
What good fortune to have stumbled across the Minimal Mom and now Diana’s channel. It was a ‘God thing’ and I am so grateful. I have shared your channels and words of wisdom with so many friends and family members. Thank you for following God’s leading in your lives.❤️
If I could I would give you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this. Thank you for this much needed message. ❤️
I was desperate for this message today! “Overdrawn” is a great description. Thanks for the encouragement!
I don't know... I'd like to believe that we all want to get to the same destination, and at one point I did believe it... But it's really looking like a sizeable portion of the US doesn't actually want to work to help relieve or is indifferent to the "other"'s struggle.. But I'm happy you're with those who are working toward the same goal as you two ❤️
The thing is, the author of all the bad things happening is Satan. When we see his emissaries as the problem, we are focusing on the wrong thing. Those things are temporary, they are flesh and blood. Our spirits are eternal and The Lord wants us to fight spiritual with spiritual. Look at the spirits behind the people and fight that in prayer, only. To get caught up in the “me against you” will ultimately lead us down a dead end path and we all will lose. Politics are not the answer, either way. Jesus is the ONLY answer.
I agree…I do not believe we are all trying for the same outcome! I also think it wrong to turn off the world…that is what happened with the Nazis…no one wanted to SAY ANYTHING….for years! I believe we have. A Responsibility …we ARE our brothers keeper!
@@susanconley4842 I absolutely agree. We have to fight for justice and for one another. The concern here is if taking in all of this news is coming at our own emotional or mental health. Many people are just overwhelmed right now. But from a place of connection with the Lord, we can take up the cause and truly make a difference. This is not a time for Christians to shrink back. I couldn’t agree more.
@@DianaKokku you and Dawn are absolutely on point about what the over stimulation and constant stream of media is doing to our psyches. It's so important to hear this again and again as you remind us that we have permission to not only tune out these horror stories we probably have no control on, but to also focus on those around us and the things we do control. I know you've both said it before, but really it helps to hear it again so thank you ❤️
Thank you! Praise to you God.
I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed with everything lately, and this really helped. Thank you.
