I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I didn’t subscribe to your channel because of the materialistic aspects of your videos but because of your personality and your sit down videos like these! I think people are seeking more authentic and meaningful content. TH-cam is changing. Have you ever thought of keeping your channel and just doing sit down/conversational videos like these or start a podcast? Like even with your husband? Of course only if that is something you would enjoy! Because I dont think people care for volgs much anymore, at least I don’t... if you don’t come back your presence will definitely be missed. Happy that you’ve found God and peace and wish you all the best!
Alana we respect your privacy and decisions, but please don’t quit TH-cam ! You’ve brought so much light in the midst of darkness for many TH-cam subscribers. You’re rawness online also is so inspiring and reminds us that we’re all human and perfect the way we are
I completely see where you are coming from! Her recent video have brought me so much joy. Seeing her truly come to a new life. However, we don't know we personally convictions to Christ. At this time we have to trust that she is being called into this new chapter with more personal relationships. Who knows one day she may return to TH-cam. But for now I would feel bad if she stayed around to only please followers when that is truly what shes trying to get away from. She is here to pursue God and his plan for her 🫶🏻
I have followed you for a while and you’re so inspiring! i love your positivity and seeing how you are building such a beautiful life and home. i’ve really enjoyed tuning into your journey. stick to being you, i love your new content. 💕 i never comment on things but i thought i’d let you know!
You're saying you respect her decisions yet you proceed to implore her against her decisions for your own needs. Stop imposing. If you truly respected her you'd express your gratitude for being with her during a phase of her life & wish her well going forward.
The weight lifted off you in the recent photos after you turned to Christ is so apparent. I cried because the joy in those photos exudes God’s love and gives me hope for the deepening of my relationship with Christ. Thank you for posting this and sharing your journey. God Bless❤
All choked up 🥹 Your youth and livelihood came back! Your eyes are lit up with the love and life of Christ! All the Bible verse screen shots… bawling 😭🤍🕊️
As a Muslim and I been following you for years now it’s been very delightful knowing you and we were similar in many ways I got my cosmetic procedures we cared about looks and about money I worked all day thinking money was my salvation and did change how my god made me physically (which in Islam is prohibited because the way you look is god’s beautiful creation and it never can better ) and also my obsession about money never made happy yes I was better off than many people around me and I got what I want but end of day I was alone tired and unhappy, but that all changed lately I’m focusing on my happiness and my daily prayers and my own nutrition and exercising and taking care of my body and skin and I never felt better yes I’m 30 but better late than never and I’m so happy and more religious than ever and I understand many things in Islam now spiritually not only as sayings .. and I’m so happy for you to find god yourself and in Islam we do believe Christians which is a “people of the book “ one of Abrahamic religions that if they live an honest and righteous and believe in god they will go to heaven (which is up to gods judgment for all of us ) I hope you live a happy life Alana
while i completely understand not wanting to do youtube, PLEASE consider doing vlogs every now and then? i come to watch you for your vibe and lifestyle
It’s gonna be hard not seeing you on TH-cam your are the most real individual I’ve seen on this platform thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts they meant a lot to all of us I look up to you god bless you and fulfill you with love take care Alana !!!♥️
It takes so much courage to close a chapter of familiarity, even when it’s harming your soul. Stepping into the unknown is terrifying but it’s called a leap of faith for a reason. Thank you for your vulnerability and how you set an example for all of us to follow our heart. I’m so excited for you to uncover all of the joys and gifts and blessings that are waiting for you!
the dog sleeping on you is everything, aww! as someone who watched your channel back then and wished I was in your shoes and wondered if I should start a channel so you are so real for showing the cons. there are pros and cons to every career, including youtube. also, I am really happy you found real happiness and your heart is full
Awe 🥺 I hope whatever journey you start is wonderfully blessed for you ❤️ thank you for keeping the channel up for us to still be able to rewatch! And watch your growth ❤️ and thank you for still providing us way to still keep in touch with you! ❤️ love you immensely Godspeed 🙏🏼
It makes me sad to know you won't post videos anymore, but based on how you explained your feelings toward TH-cam, it seems like the best decision for your peace of mind. It's the way that I wouldn't even be cut out to be an influencer, because it's not for me and I guess it's not for you anymore either. I still follow you on Instagram if you'll continue over there. Thanks for the videos up until now, and best of luck for your future~
Please Alana don’t stop posting videos!! Your content is so important to me, I’ve been through some really tough moments and you inspire me so much especially with your relationship with god❤️🙏🏻🥺
Girl😭🥹, I've been following you since 2019. Never missed a video. And I'm so happy for your new journey. I have really found you inspiring with what you have recently shared. It made me reflect on the changes I am willing to make to draw closer to God. I pray you continue to be an inspiration to other people in your life. Thank for creating this channel, for choosing what's best and brings peace. I was crying throughout the video and I send blessings. Lots of love 🥰🤗😭 from South Africa 🇿🇦
It brings tears to my eyes to see just how much light our lord has brought to your life through his love! I’m am so extremely happy for you and I wish you all the best💘🙏
Seeing the smile on your face blossom as the time went by was truly emotional. I wish you nothing but the best on your next chapter and I know it will be great because you have our Lord guiding you ❤
my heart is filled with joy!!!! God bless you in this new journey! I've been watching your videos before you came to Christ and I still remember the happiness that filled my heart when I first read your youtube title that you gave your life to Christ! So amazing to see you glow!! God bless you and your house!!
Just wanted to let you know that your videos about Jesus and god were a big part of my saving. If you had never posted those idk if I would be where I am right now. I’m sure god would have got me there eventually but your videos are what got the ball rolling and got me thinking about the idea of god and now I can happily say that god is a part of my life and I’ve never been more grateful. He saved me. Your videos saved me. Thank you
this is so incredibly beautiful. i love how similar our spiritual journeys have been, yet so different with different "religions". i love you and take care. i'm so happy that another human being found this much peace and happiness
I’ve been watching your videos since I was 15 and now I’m almost 23. How time flies! I hope you have a good life and thank you for all your videos and life advice you’ve given over the years. :)
YOU ARE SUUUUUUUCH A QUEEN! I am so happy for you and feel empathy for the path the past year’s have been on your soul. As a small community you’re persona has created, thank you for each video, and speaking for myself watching you depression journey as raw as you decided to share helped me to feel “normal”. May every path and decision you make take you to your most genuine self and make you happy, calm, loving and kind. p.s: even if you posted a video every year I would watch it ❤
Thank you so much Alana for all these years of hard work and dedication. I've been following you for years at this point and it's incredible to see how your entire TH-cam journey is an incredible testimony of God's love, grace and power and I'm sure it's not the end. God is working wonders through you and it shows. I love you so much, thank you for the journey (even though I'm convinced it's not the final step of your ministry) ! You and your family take care and stick to God, may God bless you all.
I’ve been a silent watcher for a long time and can definitely see such a light radiating from you. This video and others you have posted about your relationship with God has encouraged me to be consistent in my walk with Christ even when things get hard. The happiness you have from your relationship with him is a goal I want to achieve one day at a time. Sending all the love and thanks for allowing us to have been on this journey with you.❤
Alana please please dont stray off your religioso content. I love your videos everytime. I love the remodeling videos. The Christian update. I pray that if you do leave😭 youll still share w us a little bit somehow whether through instagram or snapchat. Id love to still make sure youre doing okay. And spreading the word. Sister in christ ❤️😭 prayers to your heart love and life regardless😭😭❤️❤️
9:04 This bit hit deep. Wow! To spend a chunk of ones time pretending might be seem harmless initially but deep down, it takes a toll. I'm happy for you Alana. I'm also down for a group Bible study!!!
I'm so sad you won't be posting TH-cam videos anymore, but I am so happy for you and believe you have found your calling! I am so grateful to have watched your journey while going through a similar one myself. You have been such a great role model for us, and I am so thankful! Thank you for providing a way for us to keep in touch with you! I love the idea of a zoom bible study session, as someone who wants to learn more about Christ and doesn't know where to start I would greatly appreciate an online community! Thank you again for all that you do, Alana! I wish you the best and will definitely keep in touch ❤❤
this feels so incredible genuine. At first I thought your channel changes were strange because it didnt fit with the view i had of you from the past years, but now I understand. I wish you the best! if you ever feel like making a lil video again, id be happy to see it, if not its okay as well. But do what makes you happy and healthy!
Thank you Alana for sharing your story so openly in recent videos. I used to watch your old videos now and then and had to stop as I found myself caring more and more about looks etc and as I grew as a Christian I saw in you what I had seen in myself - someone lost and looking for satisfaction in the wrong places… and I have been brought to tears at how God revealed Himself to you and how you explain it so well to those who don’t yet know Him ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻 I pray to be as courageous and on fire for Jesus as you are❤️ keep sharing the good news!! Xx
As the oldest of 5, You were a great “big sister” figure for me with good advice and your personality was what made me like you and feel comfortable. Happy to see you happy! Thank you
online bible study❤I have been watching like four or five ywars ago and I was always looking forward for your videos. Now, I am ao happy to see you happy. The reason why I watch was because of your personality, regardless what you posted. I always enjoyed your vids. It so wonderful to see your layback life and having a relationship with God. Thank you Alana! I loved your wedding dress😍🥹. I was also going to say the end brought me to tears. I will definitely be miss you😔
Alan you have me crying listening to you. I have been struggling so much and I've constantly thought about getting into church and things but I'm scared because my husband really is not in to doing that and he doesn't really want that lifestyle and I'm scared to do it alone with my kids, but I think, listening to your testimony, makes me cry and wonder what it would be, if I did do the uncomfortable thing.
@@megwillmadeit I worry if I don't start getting my 3 1/2 and two-year-old in it that always look for love and others like I always have and I'm also scared that if I go alone or lose my husband..
Hello ! I've started to go to Church by myself in 2020 and guess what ? It's 2024 my entire family is going to church now. They have seen how much God worked trough me and changed me for the better and they joined in. It may seem scary, isolating and a little embarassing at first but the benefits outweigh the initial discomfort so much ! Plus at this point, you have absolutely nothing to lose, only things to gain. Worst case scenario, you don't like the denomination around you and you try going to another Church. You can even try to learn about the Bible online first so you can feel more knowledgeable and confident at first. Take care, God bless you and your family. Love you, have a nice day !
You can do it! :) I’ve been going alone to a nondenominational Christian church. It can be frightening at first, but find a church that suits you. Your children will appreciate it as they get older and they understand and develop their own relationship with Christ. Read them books for their age about Jesus. Churches offer programs/groups for kids & adults. You have more to gain than to lose. With time hopefully your husband will be intrigued and inclined to go. Don’t let fear stop you from building a beautiful relationship with God and getting to know him :)
This made me tear up🥺I’m so happy for you and what you are choosing to do is the best for yourself especially when you asked God for answers. I’m going to miss watching your videos. You inspired a bunch of women. I can see how much you have changed and became pure in the heart when you started being a follower of Jesus. This video was so beautiful. Thank you❤️and God bless you and your husband
Congratulations on this new chapter in your life. I pray that you continue to let God guide you, that you continue to lean on Him, and that the desires of your heart align with His. Sending you love in Christ, and may our good Lord continue to bless you and your family. ❤
I wish you all the best in life and for your relationship with God. I feel your subscribers have grown with you. Your journey has been inspiring to watch. All the best from Germany!
I have committed on your videos periodically throughout the years but I really hope you are able to see this one. I am so grateful for finding your channel which has brought me joy and comfort throughout highschool and college. I have always been catholic but have had ups and downs with it as I’ve struggled with my anxiety and depression, but similar to you this past year something clicked with my relationship with God and I feel blessed to have witnessed your growth in your self love and love for God. You have genuinely been such an inspiration for me in how I want to live my life. I pray that you continue to go through life in Gods light. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done in being an inspiration and a true role model ❤️
I will miss your videos, words can’t explain how watching you just be happy vlogging your everyday life with your husband, inspire me and fill me with joy and hope. I will miss them greatly all the best ❤️🥺
Your true supporters will love you no matter what girl❤ I will miss watching your videos but I’m so happy for what the future has in store for you and your family!
I’m so happy and excited for you! Thank you for sharing about your life throughout the years on TH-cam. It was very encouraging and I resonate with your life experiences. It takes a lot of courage to talk truthfully and openly in public especially talking about Christ in a time where it’s not so popular or even discouraged. May God bless you for creating a community that’s safe and will be supporting women all around! I’m praying for you and wish you the best for your future endeavors 🩵 Thank you again for everything!
So glad I saw this today after losing my way. I feel sorrow that you are leaving but grateful for the message you left and for pointing me back in the right direction. I love you.
How wonderful God is. He has taken you into His care now. What an amazing blessing. I feel like you guys can also be an amazing influence on TH-cam for so many people who are unhappy and searching for the true meaning to why they are here. It can be a great tool for sharing the gospel without distracting you from your walk with Christ. No matter where someone is in their life, we all need to be reminded or introduced, or uplifted be God. Please reconsider using TH-cam as one of your platforms for sharing the gospel. God bless you and your family. ❤
Sister, we respect your life choices and privacy. I have been on my Christian journey since 2010 and there have been ups and down. Our growth in our faith is not linear and there are hills and valleys. After having my encounter with the Lord and having Him answer my prayers to feel his presence and know for certain that He is real, after years of prayer. I thank you for using your large platform to share your faith and testimony. I hope you will consider honoring God by sharing what Christian relationships look like. Even if 1x a year, I believe you can use your platform to encourage others and spread God's love and message. Blessings my sister! God bless you and your marriage and family!
Dear Alana, Your video has brought tears to my eyes. Seeing the joy bloom within you after keeping up with you after all these years makes me so happy. Of course we will miss you, but if you ever decide to return I’m sure many of us would welcome you back with open arms. Please let us know how we can keep up with you to see how you’re doing. I wish you all the best and thank you for being a “friend” to so many of us when we needed it!
I feel like the people that are still here don’t care how you look, act etc. we love you for you. Have you thought of just changing your content? We’d love to see house vlogs, day in the life, house decor finds, sit down Christian videos. There’s got to be something you enjoy that doesn’t feel like work or pressured to be someone you’re not
Alana you will be missed! I loved your videos and esp the ones about mental health - seeing someone be so open and honest about it while also showing there is hope to recover and the exact steps you made to recover is so inspirational to me, and encouraged me to try DBT to ! One question though are you going to be posting still on other platforms like instagram/tiktok? or is it a step back from everything? take care Alana x
Crying. Jesus is so good! 😭♥️ Im SO happy that you found Jesus and he changed your life completely! Thankful to being able to see change in your life. That’s an amazing testimony! I’ve followed you years …to now see that ending makes wanna scream shouts of joy! What a joy we have in Jesus! ♥️🙌🏽 hallelujah! Enjoy life with Jesus ♥️
33:17 I definitely cried at the end. To see the growth, the steady transition to the Alana that now operates from a place of victory through Jesus. I am sad we won't be getting content here on TH-cam but, I'm so elated that you found Christ. God bless and strengthen you!!!
what a beautiful journey I have witnessed, I don’t remember why or how I found your channel many years ago but I started to consume your content being a Christian myself. It's been beautiful to watch the transformation that Jesus produced in your life, what a perfect reminder for me of the power of God! thank you for sharing with us❤🙏
Alana, girl! I’m sitting here sobbing! This is such a beautiful testament showing just what our Father can do! 💛 You can truly see that you are full of His peace and His everlasting love that radiates from you now. Praising Him along side you, sweet Sister! I pray that if we are found worthy to enter into His New Kingdom, we are able to meet. So much love to you and Tim. Keep shining His light! 🫶🏽
I just want to say thank you. When you shared your depression journey, therapy, journey to Christ... It helped me also. I can relate so much with how you feel. And seeing what helped you gave me so much hope that I may one day heal. May God continue to bless you. XO - T
Such a beautiful way to end your TH-cam career! Giving all the glory to our King! You are a beautiful soul, Alana! Blessings to you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. 💛
Thank you for all your content over the years i could relate to every season. So proud of how far you have come. I will miss you and all your videos. I've been a longterm subscriber and learned a lot form your content. May you be blessed in this new season. Lots of love xx In Afrikaans we say " laat dit met jou goed gaan op die pad voorentoe" which means : Let it go well with you( good luck) on your way forward" 🇿🇦
You're gonna be missed😢❤i feel like i'am losing a big sister but i'am happy for you and i wish you the best in your new journy. Sending a lot of love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cried in the end 😢….sending love. I was raised catholic but all the hustle and bustle of life steered me away from knowing god. I love that you have a relationship with Jesus and god. I’ve always had questions. I’ve always been curious. I loved listening about your relationship with god. I loved this new content. I hope someday I can have what you have with god. Been watching you for years! So this is hard. Best wishes ❤
Awww Alana! It’s been a pleasure watching you all these years. Thank you for your time and I’m so happy to see how happy and fulfilled you’ve become! Wish you the best
Ugly crying throughout this. Youve got me through a lot of tough times. Definitely one of my comfort youtubers. So glad you found such a deep happiness- good luck and best wishes in all of your future endeavors! Sending so much love!
Wow, Alana! I’ve watched you evolve into a Christian and it’s been beautiful. Because of that evolution, and bc it’s been so inspiring to see an actual loving relationship between you and your husband, you became my favorite TH-camr! I believe in God as well and I congratulate you on how He has pushed your growth. ❤
You have the most beautiful testimony Alana! You need to keep spreading it around no matter what you are doing. I was a believer before I started watching your videos years ago and your coming to faith story has truly spoke to me.
This resonated deeply with me. As someone who similarly relies on social media, the way I look, and being someone I’m not for money, I’ve always felt like there was more. I don’t care about hustle culture. I love music that has meaning. I love not caring about how I look. But I have to for my job. I’ve dabbled in going to church here and there, and I’ve had Christian friends. The happiness and confidence those people have is deep and fulfilling. I can see that myself. It’s just so scary changing your life.
girl you did not need to make me cry like this on my birthday!! I am so happy for you Alana and I know that this is what is right for you. I have watched your videos since the home health aid days and grew with your content. I remember being so worried for you when you were in the depths of your depression, and I am so happy that you found true happiness in Christ. I was raised Christian and have been one my whole life, and it is true that God is the only thing that fulfills. I'm praying for you and your journey ahead.
You're unbelievable! I'm so happy for you. I stumbled on your channel about 3 years ago, looking for info on laser hair removal. I found you to be amazing, but I wasn't into the lavish and luxurious image as much, so I'd only watch once in a blue moon, the more serious videos. I often found a human I can relate to in'em; even if our problems were very different. Now you're not portraying rich, but you're actually rich in the ways that matter, you're wiser happier and focused. Wow! I'm genuinely inspired by you. Farewell, and thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. That has a high cost that not many people notice. I personally, found a lot of value in it. Now onto a new chapter! All the best! 😊
I've been watching your videos for years and have grown with you. I myself changed from an insecure, selfish unfulfilled person to a loving, faithful, spiritual person that has found peace through God. I pray you live and find the best life for yourself to live and be able to succeed with love and happiness because you deserve it. 🥰💝💖 Small idea... maybe make a religious TH-cam channel ? Id love that and I'm sure many people would. God bless you and your family. Thank you for everything 💕😘🙏🏼
You cuddling your sleeping dog is the sweetest thing Been following you since the injections/med spa days since I went to the same spot - but I gotta say this era of Alana is my favorite. You have grown, matured and you're more beautiful and radiant now than ever!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!! Wow!! How bittersweet!! I saw this coming and as disappointed as I am to no longer see your face in my feed, I love this for you. I will absolutely be sending an email…I feel like we grew up together. Sending love, forever & ever!!
This is truly amazing. So much support in the comments. So much courage to post your transformation and I am very grateful you did. I hope you never lose sight of this.
Please please please don’t quit TH-cam! I have loved watching your journey and personal strength grow. I love watching you and Tim live your lives so happily… my comfort TH-camr 😢❤
I'm not one to generally comment on videos, but it doesn't feel right to not say anything about this one. This was so incredibly beautiful. I am so happy for you and I wish you the most beautiful life.
I’ve always been drawn to you, even when your content was so opposite of my own lifestyle and beliefs. Your transformation has brought me to tears more than once and I’m so pleased that you have such clarity on your next steps. Go spread the Gospel, girl!
You are an inspiration!! As someone who is the same age as you, I completely understand having to conform to certain standards etc, even when it comes to music or what I watch or read or wear…and watching you over the years (but especially this past year) has really resonated with me and I appreciate you letting me in this far. You have a beautiful family, a beautiful soul and I wish you nothing but the best ♥️ if we see you again, it will be counted as a great blessing ♥️ love from me in the UK ♥️
Thank you for sharing your life with us for so long. Growing up with you has been so special. The transformation in your life once learning about Christ is undeniable, and I am so happy to witness the happiness you are now encountering after knowing and feeling God's love. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. So grateful for you Alana, you have helped me and countless others more than you will ever know
I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I didn’t subscribe to your channel because of the materialistic aspects of your videos but because of your personality and your sit down videos like these! I think people are seeking more authentic and meaningful content. TH-cam is changing. Have you ever thought of keeping your channel and just doing sit down/conversational videos like these or start a podcast? Like even with your husband? Of course only if that is something you would enjoy! Because I dont think people care for volgs much anymore, at least I don’t... if you don’t come back your presence will definitely be missed. Happy that you’ve found God and peace and wish you all the best!
Alana we respect your privacy and decisions, but please don’t quit TH-cam ! You’ve brought so much light in the midst of darkness for many TH-cam subscribers. You’re rawness online also is so inspiring and reminds us that we’re all human and perfect the way we are
exactly! her videos helped me through some of the darkest times of my life, i truly think she's meant to spread her message through youtube
I completely see where you are coming from! Her recent video have brought me so much joy. Seeing her truly come to a new life. However, we don't know we personally convictions to Christ. At this time we have to trust that she is being called into this new chapter with more personal relationships. Who knows one day she may return to TH-cam. But for now I would feel bad if she stayed around to only please followers when that is truly what shes trying to get away from. She is here to pursue God and his plan for her 🫶🏻
I have followed you for a while and you’re so inspiring! i love your positivity and seeing how you are building such a beautiful life and home. i’ve really enjoyed tuning into your journey. stick to being you, i love your new content. 💕 i never comment on things but i thought i’d let you know!
You're saying you respect her decisions yet you proceed to implore her against her decisions for your own needs. Stop imposing. If you truly respected her you'd express your gratitude for being with her during a phase of her life & wish her well going forward.
Have the best life Alana 😭 🙏🏼
You’ve always been one of my favs on TH-cam, back then, and especially in your latest era. You will be missed ❤
It’s so sad to hear your comfort TH-camr has been miserable and unhappy doing this for so long 🙁 wish you the best, take care of yourself!
The weight lifted off you in the recent photos after you turned to Christ is so apparent. I cried because the joy in those photos exudes God’s love and gives me hope for the deepening of my relationship with Christ. Thank you for posting this and sharing your journey. God Bless❤
Create a website/ blog. That we can have virtual bible studys. Book readings ❤️❤️
I second this!!
this would be amazing!
I agree
Omg virtual Bible studies would be sooo fun
All choked up 🥹 Your youth and livelihood came back! Your eyes are lit up with the love and life of Christ! All the Bible verse screen shots… bawling 😭🤍🕊️
As a Muslim and I been following you for years now it’s been very delightful knowing you and we were similar in many ways I got my cosmetic procedures we cared about looks and about money I worked all day thinking money was my salvation and did change how my god made me physically (which in Islam is prohibited because the way you look is god’s beautiful creation and it never can better ) and also my obsession about money never made happy yes I was better off than many people around me and I got what I want but end of day I was alone tired and unhappy, but that all changed lately I’m focusing on my happiness and my daily prayers and my own nutrition and exercising and taking care of my body and skin and I never felt better yes I’m 30 but better late than never and I’m so happy and more religious than ever and I understand many things in Islam now spiritually not only as sayings .. and I’m so happy for you to find god yourself and in Islam we do believe Christians which is a “people of the book “ one of Abrahamic religions that if they live an honest and righteous and believe in god they will go to heaven (which is up to gods judgment for all of us ) I hope you live a happy life Alana
while i completely understand not wanting to do youtube, PLEASE consider doing vlogs every now and then? i come to watch you for your vibe and lifestyle
I second this!! I’m not even into Christian content but I’ll watch it cause of her
even just doing short 7 min videos every now and then isnt so bad! people want to see the lives of Christian people
It’s gonna be hard not seeing you on TH-cam your are the most real individual I’ve seen on this platform thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts they meant a lot to all of us I look up to you god bless you and fulfill you with love take care Alana !!!♥️
It takes so much courage to close a chapter of familiarity, even when it’s harming your soul. Stepping into the unknown is terrifying but it’s called a leap of faith for a reason. Thank you for your vulnerability and how you set an example for all of us to follow our heart. I’m so excited for you to uncover all of the joys and gifts and blessings that are waiting for you!
the dog sleeping on you is everything, aww! as someone who watched your channel back then and wished I was in your shoes and wondered if I should start a channel so you are so real for showing the cons. there are pros and cons to every career, including youtube. also, I am really happy you found real happiness and your heart is full
Awe 🥺 I hope whatever journey you start is wonderfully blessed for you ❤️ thank you for keeping the channel up for us to still be able to rewatch! And watch your growth ❤️ and thank you for still providing us way to still keep in touch with you! ❤️ love you immensely Godspeed 🙏🏼
Actually cried watching this. So proud of you and so happy for you Alana! ❤
Your dog is an angel omg, I am not done with the video yet but it's so so sweet and beautiful to see him/her sleeping on you through this
It makes me sad to know you won't post videos anymore, but based on how you explained your feelings toward TH-cam, it seems like the best decision for your peace of mind. It's the way that I wouldn't even be cut out to be an influencer, because it's not for me and I guess it's not for you anymore either. I still follow you on Instagram if you'll continue over there. Thanks for the videos up until now, and best of luck for your future~
Maybe a podcast? Where you answer questions or react on stories from your audience… somwhere you could connect through bible stories also😌🙏
Please Alana don’t stop posting videos!! Your content is so important to me, I’ve been through some really tough moments and you inspire me so much especially with your relationship with god❤️🙏🏻🥺
Girl😭🥹, I've been following you since 2019. Never missed a video. And I'm so happy for your new journey. I have really found you inspiring with what you have recently shared. It made me reflect on the changes I am willing to make to draw closer to God. I pray you continue to be an inspiration to other people in your life. Thank for creating this channel, for choosing what's best and brings peace. I was crying throughout the video and I send blessings. Lots of love 🥰🤗😭 from South Africa 🇿🇦
It brings tears to my eyes to see just how much light our lord has brought to your life through his love! I’m am so extremely happy for you and I wish you all the best💘🙏
Seeing the smile on your face blossom as the time went by was truly emotional. I wish you nothing but the best on your next chapter and I know it will be great because you have our Lord guiding you ❤
You’re truly living your life for you and for god.. I respect your choice❤ so happy for you.
my heart is filled with joy!!!! God bless you in this new journey! I've been watching your videos before you came to Christ and I still remember the happiness that filled my heart when I first read your youtube title that you gave your life to Christ! So amazing to see you glow!! God bless you and your house!!
Just wanted to let you know that your videos about Jesus and god were a big part of my saving. If you had never posted those idk if I would be where I am right now. I’m sure god would have got me there eventually but your videos are what got the ball rolling and got me thinking about the idea of god and now I can happily say that god is a part of my life and I’ve never been more grateful. He saved me. Your videos saved me. Thank you
The puppy sleeping is so adorable lol❤
Nooo please don’t quit TH-cam!!!! Your videos make me so happy. I love watching you grow & explore life so much 🩷
this is so incredibly beautiful. i love how similar our spiritual journeys have been, yet so different with different "religions". i love you and take care. i'm so happy that another human being found this much peace and happiness
I’ve been watching your videos since I was 15 and now I’m almost 23. How time flies! I hope you have a good life and thank you for all your videos and life advice you’ve given over the years. :)
YOU ARE SUUUUUUUCH A QUEEN!
I am so happy for you and feel empathy for the path the past year’s have been on your soul. As a small community you’re persona has created, thank you for each video, and speaking for myself watching you depression journey as raw as you decided to share helped me to feel “normal”.
May every path and decision you make take you to your most genuine self and make you happy, calm, loving and kind.
p.s: even if you posted a video every year I would watch it ❤
Thank you so much Alana for all these years of hard work and dedication. I've been following you for years at this point and it's incredible to see how your entire TH-cam journey is an incredible testimony of God's love, grace and power and I'm sure it's not the end. God is working wonders through you and it shows. I love you so much, thank you for the journey (even though I'm convinced it's not the final step of your ministry) ! You and your family take care and stick to God, may God bless you all.
I’ve been a silent watcher for a long time and can definitely see such a light radiating from you. This video and others you have posted about your relationship with God has encouraged me to be consistent in my walk with Christ even when things get hard. The happiness you have from your relationship with him is a goal I want to achieve one day at a time. Sending all the love and thanks for allowing us to have been on this journey with you.❤
Alana please please dont stray off your religioso content. I love your videos everytime. I love the remodeling videos. The Christian update.
I pray that if you do leave😭 youll still share w us a little bit somehow whether through instagram or snapchat. Id love to still make sure youre doing okay. And spreading the word. Sister in christ ❤️😭 prayers to your heart love and life regardless😭😭❤️❤️
9:04 This bit hit deep. Wow! To spend a chunk of ones time pretending might be seem harmless initially but deep down, it takes a toll. I'm happy for you Alana. I'm also down for a group Bible study!!!
I'm so sad you won't be posting TH-cam videos anymore, but I am so happy for you and believe you have found your calling! I am so grateful to have watched your journey while going through a similar one myself. You have been such a great role model for us, and I am so thankful! Thank you for providing a way for us to keep in touch with you! I love the idea of a zoom bible study session, as someone who wants to learn more about Christ and doesn't know where to start I would greatly appreciate an online community! Thank you again for all that you do, Alana! I wish you the best and will definitely keep in touch ❤❤
this feels so incredible genuine. At first I thought your channel changes were strange because it didnt fit with the view i had of you from the past years, but now I understand.
I wish you the best! if you ever feel like making a lil video again, id be happy to see it, if not its okay as well. But do what makes you happy and healthy!
Thank you Alana for sharing your story so openly in recent videos. I used to watch your old videos now and then and had to stop as I found myself caring more and more about looks etc and as I grew as a Christian I saw in you what I had seen in myself - someone lost and looking for satisfaction in the wrong places… and I have been brought to tears at how God revealed Himself to you and how you explain it so well to those who don’t yet know Him ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻 I pray to be as courageous and on fire for Jesus as you are❤️ keep sharing the good news!! Xx
Alana please please don't quit youtube we all love your videos so so much you are an truly inspiration for us and I will support you till end😭😭😭😭😭
Definitely shed a tear or two 😭wish the best for you Alana it was so beautiful watching you grow and find God♥
You deserve the peace you have found. Wishing you all the best Alana. You have come so far ❤
As the oldest of 5, You were a great “big sister” figure for me with good advice and your personality was what made me like you and feel comfortable. Happy to see you happy! Thank you
online bible study❤I have been watching like four or five ywars ago and I was always looking forward for your videos. Now, I am ao happy to see you happy. The reason why I watch was because of your personality, regardless what you posted. I always enjoyed your vids. It so wonderful to see your layback life and having a relationship with God. Thank you Alana! I loved your wedding dress😍🥹. I was also going to say the end brought me to tears. I will definitely be miss you😔
Alan you have me crying listening to you. I have been struggling so much and I've constantly thought about getting into church and things but I'm scared because my husband really is not in to doing that and he doesn't really want that lifestyle and I'm scared to do it alone with my kids, but I think, listening to your testimony, makes me cry and wonder what it would be, if I did do the uncomfortable thing.
I started doing it alone with my daughter, it has been amazing. I wish you the best and God welcomes all❤
Also been tough at times too i won’t lie! But the overwhelming peace & knowledge of who God is has been so worth it.
@@megwillmadeit I worry if I don't start getting my 3 1/2 and two-year-old in it that always look for love and others like I always have and I'm also scared that if I go alone or lose my husband..
Hello ! I've started to go to Church by myself in 2020 and guess what ? It's 2024 my entire family is going to church now. They have seen how much God worked trough me and changed me for the better and they joined in. It may seem scary, isolating and a little embarassing at first but the benefits outweigh the initial discomfort so much ! Plus at this point, you have absolutely nothing to lose, only things to gain. Worst case scenario, you don't like the denomination around you and you try going to another Church. You can even try to learn about the Bible online first so you can feel more knowledgeable and confident at first. Take care, God bless you and your family. Love you, have a nice day !
You can do it! :) I’ve been going alone to a nondenominational Christian church. It can be frightening at first, but find a church that suits you. Your children will appreciate it as they get older and they understand and develop their own relationship with Christ. Read them books for their age about Jesus. Churches offer programs/groups for kids & adults. You have more to gain than to lose. With time hopefully your husband will be intrigued and inclined to go. Don’t let fear stop you from building a beautiful relationship with God and getting to know him :)
This made me tear up🥺I’m so happy for you and what you are choosing to do is the best for yourself especially when you asked God for answers. I’m going to miss watching your videos. You inspired a bunch of women. I can see how much you have changed and became pure in the heart when you started being a follower of Jesus. This video was so beautiful. Thank you❤️and God bless you and your husband
Congratulations on this new chapter in your life. I pray that you continue to let God guide you, that you continue to lean on Him, and that the desires of your heart align with His. Sending you love in Christ, and may our good Lord continue to bless you and your family. ❤
I’m so happy to have witnessed your journey and can say I’ll truly miss seeing your videos. Best of luck in whatever is next for you ❤
I wish you all the best in life and for your relationship with God. I feel your subscribers have grown with you. Your journey has been inspiring to watch. All the best from Germany!
I have committed on your videos periodically throughout the years but I really hope you are able to see this one. I am so grateful for finding your channel which has brought me joy and comfort throughout highschool and college. I have always been catholic but have had ups and downs with it as I’ve struggled with my anxiety and depression, but similar to you this past year something clicked with my relationship with God and I feel blessed to have witnessed your growth in your self love and love for God. You have genuinely been such an inspiration for me in how I want to live my life. I pray that you continue to go through life in Gods light. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done in being an inspiration and a true role model ❤️
I genuinely love your message in this video❤❤❤
I would love a podcast or online bible study, we love you Alana✨
I will miss your videos, words can’t explain how watching you just be happy vlogging your everyday life with your husband, inspire me and fill me with joy and hope. I will miss them greatly all the best ❤️🥺
So happy for you! Your transformation is incredible and a testament to God’s goodness. God bless you ❤❤
Your true supporters will love you no matter what girl❤ I will miss watching your videos but I’m so happy for what the future has in store for you and your family!
I’m so happy and excited for you! Thank you for sharing about your life throughout the years on TH-cam. It was very encouraging and I resonate with your life experiences. It takes a lot of courage to talk truthfully and openly in public especially talking about Christ in a time where it’s not so popular or even discouraged. May God bless you for creating a community that’s safe and will be supporting women all around! I’m praying for you and wish you the best for your future endeavors 🩵 Thank you again for everything!
So glad I saw this today after losing my way. I feel sorrow that you are leaving but grateful for the message you left and for pointing me back in the right direction. I love you.
thank you for being a light and so boldly standing for Christ
I cried. I love the joy and happiness, the freeness Christ has brought to you. ❤ I would love to join into a zoom Bible study!
How wonderful God is. He has taken you into His care now. What an amazing blessing. I feel like you guys can also be an amazing influence on TH-cam for so many people who are unhappy and searching for the true meaning to why they are here. It can be a great tool for sharing the gospel without distracting you from your walk with Christ. No matter where someone is in their life, we all need to be reminded or introduced, or uplifted be God. Please reconsider using TH-cam as one of your platforms for sharing the gospel. God bless you and your family. ❤
Sister, we respect your life choices and privacy. I have been on my Christian journey since 2010 and there have been ups and down. Our growth in our faith is not linear and there are hills and valleys. After having my encounter with the Lord and having Him answer my prayers to feel his presence and know for certain that He is real, after years of prayer. I thank you for using your large platform to share your faith and testimony. I hope you will consider honoring God by sharing what Christian relationships look like. Even if 1x a year, I believe you can use your platform to encourage others and spread God's love and message. Blessings my sister! God bless you and your marriage and family!
Dear Alana,
Your video has brought tears to my eyes. Seeing the joy bloom within you after keeping up with you after all these years makes me so happy. Of course we will miss you, but if you ever decide to return I’m sure many of us would welcome you back with open arms. Please let us know how we can keep up with you to see how you’re doing. I wish you all the best and thank you for being a “friend” to so many of us when we needed it!
I feel like the people that are still here don’t care how you look, act etc. we love you for you. Have you thought of just changing your content? We’d love to see house vlogs, day in the life, house decor finds, sit down Christian videos. There’s got to be something you enjoy that doesn’t feel like work or pressured to be someone you’re not
It makes me so emotional to see you so happy I wish I find my inner peace and happiness soon
Alana you will be missed! I loved your videos and esp the ones about mental health - seeing someone be so open and honest about it while also showing there is hope to recover and the exact steps you made to recover is so inspirational to me, and encouraged me to try DBT to !
One question though are you going to be posting still on other platforms like instagram/tiktok? or is it a step back from everything?
take care Alana x
Crying. Jesus is so good! 😭♥️
Im SO happy that you found Jesus and he changed your life completely! Thankful to being able to see change in your life. That’s an amazing testimony! I’ve followed you years …to now see that ending makes wanna scream shouts of joy! What a joy we have in Jesus! ♥️🙌🏽 hallelujah! Enjoy life with Jesus ♥️
33:17 I definitely cried at the end. To see the growth, the steady transition to the Alana that now operates from a place of victory through Jesus. I am sad we won't be getting content here on TH-cam but, I'm so elated that you found Christ. God bless and strengthen you!!!
what a beautiful journey I have witnessed, I don’t remember why or how I found your channel many years ago but I started to consume your content being a Christian myself. It's been beautiful to watch the transformation that Jesus produced in your life, what a perfect reminder for me of the power of God! thank you for sharing with us❤🙏
Alana, girl! I’m sitting here sobbing! This is such a beautiful testament showing just what our Father can do! 💛 You can truly see that you are full of His peace and His everlasting love that radiates from you now. Praising Him along side you, sweet Sister! I pray that if we are found worthy to enter into His New Kingdom, we are able to meet. So much love to you and Tim. Keep shining His light! 🫶🏽
I just want to say thank you. When you shared your depression journey, therapy, journey to Christ... It helped me also. I can relate so much with how you feel. And seeing what helped you gave me so much hope that I may one day heal. May God continue to bless you. XO - T
So excited for whatever journey you find yourself on ❤️
Thank you Alana. You have inspired me in so many ways. I wish you all the best now and forever. Looking forward to meeting you a little more. ❤
I cried watching the montage and the music , i feel my relationship with god isn’t how it used to be and I would love to have that unshakable peace
been following you for so many years. So happy for you that you found God, bless you always Alana
My sister in Christ, thank you for sharing your journey💓 I can’t wait to see you in heaven one day!
Thank you for everything Alana! Equally happy for you and sad we won’t get to see any more of your amazing content. Sending you lots of love ❤
Woah, the end video was sooooo beautiful I am in tears
Such a beautiful way to end your TH-cam career! Giving all the glory to our King! You are a beautiful soul, Alana! Blessings to you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. 💛
you were a BIG reason i started streaming. i have enjoyed your videos for YEARS. i wish you the best in this new stage of your life!
Thank you for all your content over the years i could relate to every season. So proud of how far you have come. I will miss you and all your videos. I've been a longterm subscriber and learned a lot form your content. May you be blessed in this new season. Lots of love xx
In Afrikaans we say " laat dit met jou goed gaan op die pad voorentoe" which means : Let it go well with you( good luck) on your way forward" 🇿🇦
Loved your response to your friend soooo much 🥰 truly the Holy Spirit guiding you, you did it boldly, thank you!
You're gonna be missed😢❤i feel like i'am losing a big sister but i'am happy for you and i wish you the best in your new journy. Sending a lot of love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cried in the end 😢….sending love. I was raised catholic but all the hustle and bustle of life steered me away from knowing god. I love that you have a relationship with Jesus and god. I’ve always had questions. I’ve always been curious. I loved listening about your relationship with god. I loved this new content. I hope someday I can have what you have with god.
Been watching you for years! So this is hard. Best wishes ❤
Awww Alana! It’s been a pleasure watching you all these years. Thank you for your time and I’m so happy to see how happy and fulfilled you’ve become! Wish you the best
I am going to miss your videos! Thank you for sharing your life with us! 🥲
Ugly crying throughout this. Youve got me through a lot of tough times. Definitely one of my comfort youtubers. So glad you found such a deep happiness- good luck and best wishes in all of your future endeavors! Sending so much love!
I am bawling my eyes out. Thank you for sharing your testimony, it’s so powerful. Thank you thank you, sister in Christ ❤
Wow, Alana! I’ve watched you evolve into a Christian and it’s been beautiful. Because of that evolution, and bc it’s been so inspiring to see an actual loving relationship between you and your husband, you became my favorite TH-camr! I believe in God as well and I congratulate you on how He has pushed your growth. ❤
You have the most beautiful testimony Alana! You need to keep spreading it around no matter what you are doing. I was a believer before I started watching your videos years ago and your coming to faith story has truly spoke to me.
This resonated deeply with me. As someone who similarly relies on social media, the way I look, and being someone I’m not for money, I’ve always felt like there was more. I don’t care about hustle culture. I love music that has meaning. I love not caring about how I look. But I have to for my job. I’ve dabbled in going to church here and there, and I’ve had Christian friends. The happiness and confidence those people have is deep and fulfilling. I can see that myself. It’s just so scary changing your life.
girl you did not need to make me cry like this on my birthday!! I am so happy for you Alana and I know that this is what is right for you. I have watched your videos since the home health aid days and grew with your content. I remember being so worried for you when you were in the depths of your depression, and I am so happy that you found true happiness in Christ. I was raised Christian and have been one my whole life, and it is true that God is the only thing that fulfills. I'm praying for you and your journey ahead.
You're unbelievable! I'm so happy for you. I stumbled on your channel about 3 years ago, looking for info on laser hair removal. I found you to be amazing, but I wasn't into the lavish and luxurious image as much, so I'd only watch once in a blue moon, the more serious videos. I often found a human I can relate to in'em; even if our problems were very different.
Now you're not portraying rich, but you're actually rich in the ways that matter, you're wiser happier and focused. Wow! I'm genuinely inspired by you. Farewell, and thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. That has a high cost that not many people notice. I personally, found a lot of value in it. Now onto a new chapter! All the best! 😊
I've been watching your videos for years and have grown with you. I myself changed from an insecure, selfish unfulfilled person to a loving, faithful, spiritual person that has found peace through God. I pray you live and find the best life for yourself to live and be able to succeed with love and happiness because you deserve it. 🥰💝💖
Small idea... maybe make a religious TH-cam channel ? Id love that and I'm sure many people would. God bless you and your family. Thank you for everything 💕😘🙏🏼
What a beautiful journey 😢, God bless you Alana may the Lord continue you to guide you all the rest of your days 🙏 ❤️
You cuddling your sleeping dog is the sweetest thing
Been following you since the injections/med spa days since I went to the same spot - but I gotta say this era of Alana is my favorite. You have grown, matured and you're more beautiful and radiant now than ever!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!! Wow!! How bittersweet!! I saw this coming and as disappointed as I am to no longer see your face in my feed, I love this for you. I will absolutely be sending an email…I feel like we grew up together. Sending love, forever & ever!!
This is truly amazing. So much support in the comments. So much courage to post your transformation and I am very grateful you did. I hope you never lose sight of this.
Please please please don’t quit TH-cam! I have loved watching your journey and personal strength grow. I love watching you and Tim live your lives so happily… my comfort TH-camr 😢❤
I'm not one to generally comment on videos, but it doesn't feel right to not say anything about this one. This was so incredibly beautiful. I am so happy for you and I wish you the most beautiful life.
I’ve always been drawn to you, even when your content was so opposite of my own lifestyle and beliefs. Your transformation has brought me to tears more than once and I’m so pleased that you have such clarity on your next steps. Go spread the Gospel, girl!
Wow, Alana, I am truly blown away. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey.
You are an inspiration!! As someone who is the same age as you, I completely understand having to conform to certain standards etc, even when it comes to music or what I watch or read or wear…and watching you over the years (but especially this past year) has really resonated with me and I appreciate you letting me in this far. You have a beautiful family, a beautiful soul and I wish you nothing but the best ♥️ if we see you again, it will be counted as a great blessing ♥️ love from me in the UK ♥️
Thank you for sharing your life with us for so long. Growing up with you has been so special. The transformation in your life once learning about Christ is undeniable, and I am so happy to witness the happiness you are now encountering after knowing and feeling God's love. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. So grateful for you Alana, you have helped me and countless others more than you will ever know
