Hoping to get this book! I decided in my teen years that I never wanted a smart phone and at 27 I still have my little dumb phone. I hated how addicted my peers seemed and how incapable they were to give me their undivided attention--my mother as well. My phone is intentionally annoying to use lol even having three little kids to care for at home everyday, I'd rather have the extra work of preparing before we leave the house. I have never had anything to stare at while waiting for my coffee at Starbucks, no screen to hide behind when I felt shy, nor a distraction when with a loved one. It's amazing how much phones contribute to the hurried and disconnected problem. Oddly enough people seem to be on a mission to get me to buy a smart phone, almost like they don't want to be the only one addicted or as if I'm missing something in my life. Honey, I don't miss a thing. ;)
Bravo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I’m feeling convicted as I too felt just like you... and I lost the fight as hubby forced the issue. Having Adhd I may have missed appointments often but at least I was happier. Thanks for this reminder. I’m ready to dumb down. :) (even if I keep it for back up), (oh Lord, heaven help me.)
I use to be late all the time. I now arrive early or on time and can really enjoy the day. Planning the night before and staying ahead has been the key for me. Infusing my day with calm moments brings me peace. I do well to get up and go to bed the same time every day. All about protecting my circadian rhythm. I've been trying to go back to using my clothes line more and the dryer less. Using the clothesline allows for fresh air, excercies and I think about my grandmother as this was her only option. Great reminder about quality time over quantity time with others. Grandchildren are coming for a week. Dawn had mentioned something the other day that made me realize I need to be Martha before my company comes and be Mary while they are here. Thank you both. You are dear to me and I have grown so much listening to your godly wisdom.
I’ve always been the type who gets overwhelmed if I schedule more than one thing per day. Even when I have a lunch date with a friend or a just a quick coffee with a friend, I never want to rush them to “get to the next person.” Also, as an introvert, I don’t have the energy to interact with more than one person in a day 😂 Thanks for sharing this concept with people 🤗💚
A brilliant thing to do with when visiting with groceries is to put them in your friend/relatives fridge or freezer WITH YOUR CAR KEYS - that way you can not leave them behind! My sister learnt this when accidentally living in Queensland, Australia.
Now that my kids are ADULTS, I think I can tell everyone I got a few pieces of really bad advice when they were kids and one of the top ones was 'close the door, their room will always be a mess.' Cleaning, organizing, decluttering, I could have spent QUALITY and QUANTITY (😂) TIME with them. They know I LOVE them, but as a parent, one always thinks of the things one could have done... Diane and Dawn have nailed it: QUALITY and QUANTITY and LOVE ❤️
When I go places and I need to drop my kids off with extended family or friends for care I try to leave time for a visit with them when I pick them up. I see it has “paying them back with my attention and friendship” for sweetly watching my kids for me. Doing this regularly as made for some lovely visits with people I frequently don’t see much cause we’re all so busy.
From the other person’s perspective, possibly....I have watched kids and it makes me much more stressed when the parents just hang around when they come to pick up the kids. I’ve had screaming meemies for hours(even though I love them) and I just want them to go home so I can have a break! Also, kids tend to display a lot more bad behaviors after the parents come back. I think you need to plan time with your kids when you get back because you left them. Take them to the park or out for ice cream. Just an opinion from the other side.
@@cynthiafisher9907 I was thinking the EXACT same thing…. Then I saw YOUR comment. The LAST thing I’d want the other parent of the kids I was just watching to do is “HANG OUT” when she comes to pick them up. That’s happened to me, and I’m usually NOT HAPPY, I’m glad to have helped but PLEASE, at this point gather your children and just GO!! Sorry , not sorry 😣!! Visit with me another time (scheduled of course) maybe when NO kids are involved. Plz from a parent who’s been there, Heed this advice. 👍🏻
Love this topic. This summer we are doing nothing! No classes, traveling, or school. And I'm loving it. My kids play outside for hours a day with the neighbor kids.
My husband and I have always agreed that being on time is important. In fact, if we're not early we consider ourselves late. We always tell ourselves we can spend the extra time at our destination if need be without the panic of inconveniencing others.
I loved this, thank you so much. I was over here worried about Dawn's groceries in the car...lol........One thing I've learned is to go outside in nature without my phone in my ear, just walk and enjoy the beauty and listen. We are all here on a journey, some long, some so very short.
❤️❤️❤️love, love, love! Needed this. Everyone needs this. As technology increases we are forgetting how to wait and what a slower pace looks like. When we take breaks from tech we can get back in rhythm with the sun and with nature that God set in place for us.
I am so grateful for your channel and Dawn's too! You both provide me with so much inspiration. God bless you both and your families. Thank you for all you do! Perhaps you should do a little less, rest, take care of yourselves and love on your families. We are all here for you!
They also say they don't want to talk on the phone. Only want texts. Losing all modes of communication. Texting doesn't even consist of whole sentences with younger folks. still doing the Bible Recap. Thanks for putting me on to that resource. I enjoy it.
Diana, this topic has been on my heart for several months. My time is pretty much my own and that’s awesome, but I stress myself out with all of the projects I think I want to do! I am trying to be more intentional about spending time with people, and my husband and I have been sitting outside in the evenings and either just talking to each other or friends and neighbors who see us and stop by. “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” is on the top of my book pile. 😊 Thank you for your encouragement!
This is something I think about often. Thank you ladies for taking the time to share! I’m SO STRESSED out about making it on time, that I’m very cranky with my kids when they’re dragging their feet. I know I have to work on this. 🙏🏼💕
I have a bedtime ritual that involves a warm shower, nighttime skincare routine and then sitting by my electric fireplace (without the heat because it is summer in SC🥵) in the big comfy chair in my room. My puppygirl gets on my lap and I read my evening prayer book & devotion. Then we go potty one more time and go to bed. I sleep so wonderfully now!
I read the book on hurry because of your recommendation in a previous video. Thank you! It greatly impacted me. This to me was one of the greatest quotes in the book: "Our time is our life, and our attention is the doorway to our hearts."
Thank you, Diana and Dawn, for giving us a great reminder to slow down, keep life simple, and savor the moments with the people God brings into our lives each day! May God be with you and your families! Hugs...
Thank you two so much for this important video. My biggest learning currently is to be decisive about my commitments. As I currently have energy limitations, but usually am a person, who is ready to help everyone around her, it is so challenging for me, to not feel like a let-down when saying to to people, who are used to me saying yes...
This topic hits home. It's funny how I even slot in rest time on my schedule, and how can I grab ahold of everything on my carefully planned calendar and spend extra time perfecting all those necessary and so important tasks and leave my scheduled rest out, I will inadvertently fill it with something, anything but me. How can I place myself in the bottom of a barrel and meticulously start piling stuff on top of myself to a point of anxiety attacks. I know I am not alone. If I put myself anywhere near the top, I will be such a nicer more effective person. God gives each the same amount of time each day, I am the one that messes it up. Mom's, daughter's, wives, sisters... you are not alone, the struggles are real.
Jana May you be blessed with more compassion for yourself and a willingness to prioritise those times of rest, reflection and restoration that your soul desires to bring you into grace, presence and connection. You are so worthy of that time.
4:00 just was such an example of the twin compatability haha love it ! You two are so amazing! Thank you for this reminder SOOOOO good and I needed it! I just finished a hectic year of school and am looking forward to being able to spend lots of my free time soaking in God's word and growing! Thank you for helping me stay on track in the walk of faith!!! Love you two!
More validation in my journey of saying "no" to things in order to be present and available to the people I love and to have energy and passion to do the things that truly matter to me. 😍
I think that today there's too much self. Self love, selfishness, me first. Yes you have to look after yourself mentally and physically but your family and friends need your love and care too.
Thank you for sharing 😊. We do need to stop 🛑 and take the time to be one and one with ourselves and with the one that created us. Our Lord Jesus Christ. The so-called stuff will always be there. As I used to tell my kids when they were younger. I have to sleep with myself/answer to God on judgment Day no one's going to do it for you.
Eye contact. Ask how someone is and when they say good, ask again while making direct eye contact. So many need connection but we've forgotten how. Loved this!!
Diana, you really brighten my day! Your videos are so heartwarming and sincere ♥️. I was expecting this to be about always running late (me) and how to get where you are supposed to be on time. I really struggle with this. But instead I got out of this that I need to slow down and make more time to spend with God, something I have gotten very lax about. Thank you for being so kind, nonjudgmental, and having such a loving heart ♥️
I just love that quote, and I love Dawn’s commentary on what kids really want (and people in general)- affection! Bummer to hear your comment specifically about millennials wanting to avoid people. Millennials get such a bad rap! I think we all have tendencies like this! People are messy and inconvenient but you can’t witness to a robot or build community in Christ on the Amazon app. Jesus spent so much of his short earthly life with the messiest people he could find. He is our best example! :)
Beautiful, Diana & Dawn !! How ironic that certain things that were supposedly made to make life easier ( like the light bulb) & buy more time , have just lead us on to a more frantic pace. And speaking of pre - clocks, Hawaiians had a really neat concept of time, according to general time blocks in a day.
As per my above comment, those time blocks had designated names , & qualities. And instead of someone saying , I’ll meet you at 1:30, they’d name the general 2 hour or so time period. No sweat if not there at a literal on - the - dot time. Perhaps the person waiting would be at a location where they could tend to duties anyway. Now ... to be fair ... those ppl in apt buildings may not come home til after office closes. So maybe thatz why they prefer their own p’age system. Or maybe they R exhausted or starving upon arriving home, & don’t want to small talk. Oh wow ! I recently went to dentist ( also got squeezed in) & I made a huge effort to get there on time ( & O succeeded). They didnt bring me in for a 1/2 hour ! I got annoyed, too. But thankfully stayed outwardly calm. Beautiful prayer & picture @ the end ! TY ! Liz Oh PS ... but sometimes social media can be a portal to something great ! A friendly hello, or ... your videos ! 😊
"...love your neighbour as yourself" this last bit spoken by Jesus is often left out by religious people, took me 40odd years to realise, I need to be on my list and actually fill my own cup! Can't pour from an empty one as the saying goes.
What a great quote!!! Sad but so true! Dawn that was awesome!!! LOL!!!! :) Lighting a candle to see by is so smart!! 11 hours per night.....what?? Sleeping half a day is crazy!! That book sounds like such a great resource! Thanks for sharing Diana! We need to love the Lord more.....so powerful!! Such wisdom you are sharing! Amazing reminders!!! I am so thankful for you two as encouraging resources in my life!! I am blessed by you both always!!!!
Love love this video! I took a screenshot of the quote and made it my phone wallpaper! The discussion was really thought-provoking for me, thank you! Love the scenery and music during this prayer also. Such a great channel and such sweet sisters!
Yes Yes! I so rarely hear Christian women tell the truth about this fade of “self love”! It’s such a lie that’s wrapped in a pretty package. Love God and love your neighbor ❤️
Diana I’d love to hear some education about the holy trinity and more about why Christ had to actually physically suffer on the cross for us. I’ve been a Christian all my life and never had much clarity about these fundamentals! Also, study Bible recommendations!!
The Son of God had to die to reconcile His Children bc sin had eternally separated us from God. All humans were doomed for eternal judgment of hell bc Our 1st parents Adam and Eve disobeyed God and his instruction in the garden. From the Old testament thru the New testament, there had to be a sacrifice of an animal in the temple which the people would spiritually place their sin onto the animal as a temporary sacrifice. But that was the problem, it didn't last...so they would work tirelessly giving animal sacrifice to the Lord. Then when Jesus was born, He was to be the one and only sufficient sacrifice to satisfy the wrath of God for our sins. Jesus only had to die 1x and it was complete from that day on. We get to live in that freedom and free gift if we choose the forgiveness and repent of our sins to the Lord Jesus only.
I am trying to do what you're saying take more time slow down like they say smell the coffee look at the flowers. Take time with people. I used to be a person that would fill my days with so much and I have a sibling but does that with her time and she wants me to be like that. I keep telling her it's okay to take a deep breath I'm not doing anything for a moment to savor that moment to savor. Many years ago I was challenged to sit down sit still pretend I was sitting on the Lord's lap for 5 minutes don't do anything but just sit back and chill like a child on a Daddy's lap. I remember that being the hardest thing I thought oh my goodness 5 minutes. But as I continually practice that I can sit for several minutes if I don't get it in a day I make sure in the evening I will shut everything down sit back and I'm just still to soak up his presents but the quiet the Stillness the peace. But I understand when you say we go somewhere and it's too many minutes and we're looking at our watches yep that's me and like you said it catches our emotions. I too have found it takes me part way through an appointment of where I might be at before I can just be more me and I feel so bad. So I'm thankful for what you share because it's awareness to be more intentional about if something takes a couple minutes longer it's okay. A dear friend who just passed away she was a pastor's wife of over 50 years she was like a second mom to me. She would always tell me slow down it's okay that that thing took a couple minutes you are going to survive what's important? And I'm so thankful for her wisdom and isn't it amazing the Lord took my friend to heaven but God is using you Diana and also Don in a different way to stretch me continually. I just want to say I thank you very much for what you shared. I to when my kids were really young sometimes I was so busy trying to accomplish so much we can't get those moments back. Be wise smell the coffee Savor the moment while you have them
Oh it’s like you knew I almost canceled my holidays for next week bc healthcare is so strapped right now. What I did last two weeks with my caseload to pull it off was gruelling but I have a week of blank unscheduled time with my husband to relish kids and grands coming and going, the weather and each other bc wonderful stage of life. Last week I canceled the fun gatherings at work I planned to attend to be there for caseload. Workload sometimes we can’t control just set tighter boundaries on our workday. Much appreciated. Dawn I hope your ice cream made it home okay!
Self care? I wasn't put here for me... I'm here for glorifying God, pointing others to Jesus, nurturing my children and lovingly supporting my husband. Nowhere in scripture is self care emphasized. This was a good one ❤️
Just thinking, I loved the podcasts of you two. I listen to them when I'm in the car. Maybe you could transfer the sounds of your video to a podcast. You can read its purely to please me😅. But maybe others could find you there to. Just an idea, I know it's yet again more work for you . Just want some more of the positive talk around me😉. 🙏❤️
This was so good! I think the millennials picking up packages thing, it probably has to do with available hours. If the office is only open 8-5, and you work 8-5, it becomes difficult to pick the packages up. I know very few folks who are home between 7:30am and 5:30pm.
"The Sleep Revolution" book was also impactful regarding how important sleep is. According to her, Thomas Edison thought sleep was useless and he wanted less of it.
Ooh, this is so good. Thank you for sharing. I found myself feeling unloving toward my sweet baby as I was hurrying through laundry. 😩 Did he have to pull EvErYtHiNg out and make a bigger mess that I would then have to clean up?! But I did get the job done, and I feel so much better after it's done if Baby and I have taken our time and played through the job instead of hurrying.
I'm a little late to the video but just incase you didn't know about it. John Mark Comer and Jefferson Bethke did an 11 part podcast series called Fight Hustle End Hurry that is pretty fantastic!
I'm getting mine from the library picking it up tomorrow I hope it's not typical self help book I'm not into self help books I like fiction and encouragement and inspirational books

me too
Hahahahahhahaha same!! I’m imagining tater tots meltingggg 😂
If Dawn didn't then you shouldn't either. Not your monkey..........
@@texasmimi5566
That's not what it's about.
1st we care about her,
2nd we maybe feel pro-active in general.
I use to be late all the time. I now arrive early or on time and can really enjoy the day. Planning the night before and staying ahead has been the key for me. Infusing my day with calm moments brings me peace.
I do well to get up and go to bed the same time every day. All about protecting my circadian rhythm.
I've been trying to go back to using my clothes line more and the dryer less. Using the clothesline allows for fresh air, excercies and I think about my grandmother as this was her only option.

Did dawn say this? I know Natalie Bennett did, did I miss dawn saying it?
@@shaunadumelle1624 yes in the last week or so. She does give credit to Natalie Bennet if I remember correctly.

LOVED the John Ortberg quote!!
I'm have started a reset with my relationship with God. Going deeper with Him. Just like you reset you home.
I think that today there's too much self. Self love, selfishness, me first. Yes you have to look after yourself mentally and physically but your family and friends need your love and care too.
Thank you for sharing 😊. We do need to stop 🛑 and take the time to be one and one with ourselves and with the one that created us. Our Lord Jesus Christ. The so-called stuff will always be there. As I used to tell my kids when they were younger. I have to sleep with myself/answer to God on judgment Day no one's going to do it for you.
Thank you for this one!! I used to set alarms throughout the day to remind me to pray to God. I need to bring that back.
Eye contact. Ask how someone is and when they say good, ask again while making direct eye contact. So many need connection but we've forgotten how. Loved this!!
This is such solid advice, and so easy to overlook the simplicity. Love the Lord more... so simple, yet it's so hard.
There’s a kiddies song that says “J.O.Y. J.O.Y.. J.O.Y spells Joy … Jesus first and yourself last and others in between”
Thank you for the timely reminder❣️
Loved this weeks sermon ladies! You are making a difference in my life❤️
Great video! Time is our most precious commodity. It takes time to love and nurture.
This really resonated with me !! Thank you 😊 💓

As per my above comment, those time blocks had designated names , & qualities. And instead of someone saying , I’ll meet you at 1:30, they’d name the general 2 hour or so time period. No sweat if not there at a literal on - the - dot time. Perhaps the person waiting would be at a location where they could tend to duties anyway.
Now ... to be fair ... those ppl in apt buildings may not come home til after office closes. So maybe thatz why they prefer their own p’age system. Or maybe they R exhausted or starving upon arriving home, & don’t want to small talk. Oh wow ! I recently went to dentist ( also got squeezed in) & I made a huge effort to get there on time ( & O succeeded). They didnt bring me in for a 1/2 hour ! I got annoyed, too. But thankfully stayed outwardly calm. Beautiful prayer & picture @ the end ! TY ! Liz
Oh PS ... but sometimes social media can be a portal to something great ! A friendly hello, or ... your videos ! 😊
Thank you Diana! I really needed to hear this! 😍
Yes. The 11 hours of sleep sounds so helpful!
"...love your neighbour as yourself" this last bit spoken by Jesus is often left out by religious people, took me 40odd years to realise, I need to be on my list and actually fill my own cup! Can't pour from an empty one as the saying goes.
Excellent discussion today!
Great video! I love how you talked about the way things use to be and how much has changed over the years! 🙏🏼💕
What a great quote!!! Sad but so true! Dawn that was awesome!!! LOL!!!! :) Lighting a candle to see by is so smart!! 11 hours per night.....what?? Sleeping half a day is crazy!! That book sounds like such a great resource! Thanks for sharing Diana! We need to love the Lord more.....so powerful!! Such wisdom you are sharing! Amazing reminders!!! I am so thankful for you two as encouraging resources in my life!! I am blessed by you both always!!!!
So true, thank you 🙏❤️
Thankyou
Amen!
I just love you both! This is so very good! Thank you for reminding us to love the Lord first!- Sally R.
Love love this video! I took a screenshot of the quote and made it my phone wallpaper! The discussion was really thought-provoking for me, thank you! Love the scenery and music during this prayer also. Such a great channel and such sweet sisters!
Yes Yes! I so rarely hear Christian women tell the truth about this fade of “self love”! It’s such a lie that’s wrapped in a pretty package. Love God and love your neighbor ❤️
Wow! First time here, thank you
Okay Dawn go get your groceries put away 😁! Thank girls for the reminder. God Bless you ☝️👍
Great word! It's easy to implement right now, but when I go back to work in the fall, every facet of time management seems to fall apart.
Diana I’d love to hear some education about the holy trinity and more about why Christ had to actually physically suffer on the cross for us. I’ve been a Christian all my life and never had much clarity about these fundamentals!
Also, study Bible recommendations!!

The Son of God had to die to reconcile His Children bc sin had eternally separated us from God. All humans were doomed for eternal judgment of hell bc Our 1st parents Adam and Eve disobeyed God and his instruction in the garden. From the Old testament thru the New testament, there had to be a sacrifice of an animal in the temple which the people would spiritually place their sin onto the animal as a temporary sacrifice. But that was the problem, it didn't last...so they would work tirelessly giving animal sacrifice to the Lord. Then when Jesus was born, He was to be the one and only sufficient sacrifice to satisfy the wrath of God for our sins. Jesus only had to die 1x and it was complete from that day on. We get to live in that freedom and free gift if we choose the forgiveness and repent of our sins to the Lord Jesus only.
I used to always be so busy that I barely made time for my mom. Well now that she's gone, I have plenty of time for regret. Makes me sad.
The ruthless elimination of hurry
I am trying to do what you're saying take more time slow down like they say smell the coffee look at the flowers. Take time with people. I used to be a person that would fill my days with so much and I have a sibling but does that with her time and she wants me to be like that. I keep telling her it's okay to take a deep breath I'm not doing anything for a moment to savor that moment to savor. Many years ago I was challenged to sit down sit still pretend I was sitting on the Lord's lap for 5 minutes don't do anything but just sit back and chill like a child on a Daddy's lap. I remember that being the hardest thing I thought oh my goodness 5 minutes. But as I continually practice that I can sit for several minutes if I don't get it in a day I make sure in the evening I will shut everything down sit back and I'm just still to soak up his presents but the quiet the Stillness the peace. But I understand when you say we go somewhere and it's too many minutes and we're looking at our watches yep that's me and like you said it catches our emotions. I too have found it takes me part way through an appointment of where I might be at before I can just be more me and I feel so bad. So I'm thankful for what you share because it's awareness to be more intentional about if something takes a couple minutes longer it's okay. A dear friend who just passed away she was a pastor's wife of over 50 years she was like a second mom to me. She would always tell me slow down it's okay that that thing took a couple minutes you are going to survive what's important? And I'm so thankful for her wisdom and isn't it amazing the Lord took my friend to heaven but God is using you Diana and also Don in a different way to stretch me continually. I just want to say I thank you very much for what you shared. I to when my kids were really young sometimes I was so busy trying to accomplish so much we can't get those moments back. Be wise smell the coffee Savor the moment while you have them
Oh it’s like you knew I almost canceled my holidays for next week bc healthcare is so strapped right now. What I did last two weeks with my caseload to pull it off was gruelling but I have a week of blank unscheduled time with my husband to relish kids and grands coming and going, the weather and each other bc wonderful stage of life. Last week I canceled the fun gatherings at work I planned to attend to be there for caseload. Workload sometimes we can’t control just set tighter boundaries on our workday. Much appreciated. Dawn I hope your ice cream made it home okay!
So good. Thanks so much!
Loved this
Self care? I wasn't put here for me... I'm here for glorifying God, pointing others to Jesus, nurturing my children and lovingly supporting my husband. Nowhere in scripture is self care emphasized.
This was a good one ❤️
Thanks for reinforcement!! 👊
I love the prayer boards . I want one that is for the family to use and a personal one.
I always tell people that when you go walking, you think your thoughts through .
I've love a video from you about your in laws and their stay here in the U.S.!
Interesting, my husband bought me a new sewing machine last year and it has a digital clock on the screen.
Just thinking, I loved the podcasts of you two. I listen to them when I'm in the car. Maybe you could transfer the sounds of your video to a podcast. You can read its purely to please me😅. But maybe others could find you there to. Just an idea, I know it's yet again more work for you . Just want some more of the positive talk around me😉. 🙏❤️
This was so good! I think the millennials picking up packages thing, it probably has to do with available hours. If the office is only open 8-5, and you work 8-5, it becomes difficult to pick the packages up. I know very few folks who are home between 7:30am and 5:30pm.
11 hours does sound lovely
So good. Thanks
"The Sleep Revolution" book was also impactful regarding how important sleep is. According to her, Thomas Edison thought sleep was useless and he wanted less of it.
I think some of us subconsciously assume that God's love language is service, when maybe we should try imagining that it is quality time.
Ooh, this is so good. Thank you for sharing. I found myself feeling unloving toward my sweet baby as I was hurrying through laundry. 😩 Did he have to pull EvErYtHiNg out and make a bigger mess that I would then have to clean up?! But I did get the job done, and I feel so much better after it's done if Baby and I have taken our time and played through the job instead of hurrying.
I just enjoy You Both so a much...
These Videos really inspire me to try to be a better person..
I can watch them over and over...
💗🙏💗🙏
I'm a little late to the video but just incase you didn't know about it. John Mark Comer and Jefferson Bethke did an 11 part podcast series called Fight Hustle End Hurry that is pretty fantastic!
I'm getting mine from the library picking it up tomorrow I hope it's not typical self help book I'm not into self help books I like fiction and encouragement and inspirational books
Worship Music as I weed my gardens. Joyous! But weeds Lord?..😂😂😂
Haha!
