I had a lump on my thyroid several years ago. The ultrasound showed it. When I went in to do surgery, I prayed that if I really didn't have to go through this that God would take it away. When the nurses tried to find it while prepping me for surgery, the one doing ultrasound could not find the lump. The other nurse said to her, " We never see results like this." The dr. couldn't find it either. I didn't have surgery thankfully. That's God!

Wow! I was blown away when Dawn said: Just 12 minutes of prayer a day for 8 weeks will rewire your brain so it is actually visible on brain scans. That is so powerful!

The best blessing of Covid times for me has been that my husband and I have 30 minutes of Bible reading and prayer every morning. We are Catholic and a church 15 minutes from us has daily mass (which includes readings from the Old and New Testament, and one from the Gospels), a lesson, and the liturgy of the Eucharist (communion). It is so so beautiful and has changed our lives! 🙏🏻❤️ Also we get a 15minute “mini-date” each way in the car! 🚙🥰❤️

“Our souls and our hearts were not made for the things of this world.” Love that!!!! Thanks Sis Diana! You and your Sister Dawn are such a power team! Love you both❤️

I love that scripture. We brought nothing into this world and we will bring nothing with us. If we have food and clothing we will be content with that. How much time our possessions take up. More time to invest in our spiritual life and relationships!

I’ve noticed the more I put into my actual life, cooking cleaning decluttering, playing board games with my kids and the less time I put into my phone the more I enjoy my life. The less I actually NEED my phone… not that I never go on KZfaq (I’m here now!!) but it helps me to not be drawn to it as much. -Lindsay in Ontario 🇨🇦

I really never comment on these videos, but I have to say that I think that one of the greatest rewards from reading the Bible we should seek is to know Jesus Christ more. THAT is truly the reward of consistently reading Scripture.

I find a coloring bible ytto be so rewarding. I find it so calming and it helps me receive the word with less worry. I never thought as an adult I would enjoy coloring but it really encourages me to attend longer and think about what I am reading.

I just watched this with my children while eating supper. As your video was ending my son exclaimed, “She didn’t pray! They have to pray!!!” You’re making an impact. ❤️

Have you guys ever seen the old veggie tales video about "stuff Mart" with madame blueberry. Such a great kids and adult video about having too much stuff

This was sooo Good!!!!! I love that we can all Love the Lord together!!! That’s the best club to be a part of!! ;)

God's Word is supernatural. I always start with a prayer of "Holy Spirit teach me today. I believe that through your Word I am being changed from the inside out by the Word.".

Thank you ladies...I really needed this today..I am buried in clutter after years of trying to find happiness in stuff.!! Only to make me more unhappy and depressed. I am so glad I have my heavenly father to help me get through this..please keep me in your prayers. Thank you!

My dad was a pastor (he passed away in 2014). 1 Timothy 6:6 was his favorite verse and he quoted it often. It’s one was my favorites too. ❤️

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Delete people who are selling something or who make me feel that I’m lacking something good. Add the positive truth of the scripture. Yes to both!

Another way that I have enjoyed reading the Bible is not actually reading it but listening to it! The daily audio bible app is wonderful! Also, thank you guys so much for these videos. We all need less stuff and more Jesus!!

I love you girls / sisters in Christ! 🥰🥰 I actually deleted my “before” pictures bc every time I scrolled by it made me sad that it took me so long (I’m 59)…. Although in my defense I was busy raising the TWELVE children the Lord blessed us with! Now that I’m on this journey I’m also trying to encourage my married with children daughters to DECLUTTER! 🏡❤️❤️

Check out the Bible in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz! He’s awesome and so so wise and really gets you thinking! Like, “why was Cain’s offering not accepted as Abel’s?” was actually just discussed! 📖❤️

My husband is not on board so it is a struggle. Also finding places for the inventory he insists we keep is a chore. Praying through the season ✝️🙏🏻❣️

Wow, this was one of your best videos!! Maybe the Social media stuff, TV, News, ect. is why I have had anxiety for years. I'm 60 and on so many meds for depression and anxiety. I pray every day for relief.

Letting my world shrink down….Yes! I got off of Instagram and Facebook back in November to see how big of an impact it would have on my anxiety and my time! Wow, it has transformed both but yes I had to deal with my world shrinking down!

I just ordered an ESV study Bible for myself! When Dawn said that it makes her feel smarter and gives her a feeling of having a "reward" I knew I wanted to try it. Here's to developing new habits in the new year!

Brilliant advice today and a lovely video. I really love the reminder we are born with nothing and leave with nothing, the physical things that surround us are so fleeting. I think aswell our view of luxury is so far removed from the older times we need to reset with the simple luxuries like food and good health and kindness received and given.

This was so good! Thank you! I keep a plastic tub (think Rubbermaid size) for donations. The lid broke awhile ago, but the container is still good, so it's easy to just keep in a certain space in the house, toss things in it, and then take it right out to the car to go to the donation center. Then I just bring my empty container back (which is also really satisfying--- it's awesome to watch the stuff dump out of it into the cart at the donation center!) and it's all ready to be filled up again.

I donated four huge bags of clothing today and it felt so good!

I hope Gage's tonsil is healed or you find a solution. I'll pray for him. Thanks for the nice video.

Thank you. You point me to the Lord and I am grateful. Bless you.💛

So good! 👏 I was just telling my church staff recently that decluttering helps me focus more on my relationship with the Lord. And while I’m NOT morning person and wake up with anxiety worrying about the day, I have to start the day reading my Bible on my iPad in the dark with dark mode on so I only see God’s Word in white letters (or red 😉).

Just want to say you both have made a great impact on my life over the past few weird years. Thank you for all the practical wisdom, support and compassion you share. After watching this particular video I unsubscribed to quite a few KZfaq channels I had attached myself to where the creators were great, but not great for me. They had me thinking either I needed more or I needed to be more in order to be happy, ok , or even normal. I unfollowed some folks on FB as well for the same reasons. I am keeping my subscriptions to your channels, just saying. I already feel free and ready to give the Lord more of my time and . Thank you so much!!!

You two are such a blessing. Last year I used the Bible Recap and finished the Bible in a year. It is a great resource for digging deeper. Thanks again.

I keep my Bible by my bed and I read it before I go to bed and pray for 30 mins after I read Bible before I go to bed it's my routine if had to I go 1 hr earlier to bed just so I've got time to do it.

This is such a true blessing video. I am always encouraged by you both . . Since I have been decluttering with your helpful videos I now have more time devoted to my deeper walk with my Lord. Prayer., Devotional. Bible Study time. I also Journal throughout my day on this new Journey of Decluttering and Self Care. Thank you Ladies for your Godly wisdom.Love and Hugs

I love you two ladies! You are both always such bright side in my day. And when you team up, wow! Thank you!

Double Amen 🙏 Our Mom Passed Away 🙏 December 27 2021 Omak Washington. Rest In Peace With God's Grace & Angel's😇 ❤ We Love You ❤ Mom. We leave any Worldly Possessions

I’ve always heard … have you ever seen a Hearse with a U-Haul behind it? Noooo! 🙃😉

You nailed it with the discussion of the fragmentation of your attention! I dont have TikTok but my husband did and he deleted it because he noticed his attention and memory getting worse!

Love you ladies so much. ❤️ The thing that has helped me the most is the accountability of a Bible study group. I need to work on those lessons every day to be ready for the study each week. For decluttering I placed a large pretty basket that I love near my front door and put things in a black plastic bag in that basket. When the bag gets full it is time for a donation run. I like the basket because it hides the black bag yet it provides a the perfect place for those things that need to head out the door. I am at the point where it can take quite some time to fill up the bag because over the last three to four years I have decluttered my whole house. I will say this though: decluttering is a process that never ends. 🤣❤️

Hi Girls - You look lovely today. I just wanted to say that I agree with Dawn to write it down. Something about seeing it on papers frees up my mind. I also have a study Bible and I have found it to help me understand better. Diana, you really help me understand better than my study Bible does. Even tho it explains it, sometimes I still don’t understand it. I love how you break everything down for us. 💕🙏🏻😇

Quite morning coffee time is a great bible time!

I’m beginning to enjoy the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me. Quoting someone, but I don’t know who.

Love you two! When I heard Diana mention her coffee pot needed to be cleaned, I decided to clean my coffee pot while listening to your video. :)

SUCH GOOD WORDS!!! Thank you, Ladies. Sharing this with friends. Dawn, I used to struggle with similar symptoms as Gage and when I gave up dairy I noticed the inflammation went away. Just sharing in case it’s helpful at all.

Thank you for your encouragement, Diana and Dawn!

Spot on with this video ladies! We need the declutter our lives, not just of material things, but the mental as well. As one who's walked with the Lord for a number of years, let me just encourage those who still struggle with your walk with the Lord....keep pressing on. If your study time of the word is lacking, press on...find what will work in this season of your life. If one were to look as my time in the word, one could get judgmental and think "Oh my word, she's failing so miserably for someone who's been a believer for so long". But take heart, we are on a journey with Christ. This is not just a journey of one mountain to climb, but a series of mountains. This will take assessment and reassessment of what works ineach season of your life. My time with the Lord looked different as a mother of small children than it does now when they've left the nest. Also, it looks different as one who is settled in a home versus traveling or moving overseas. So keep assessing, keep pressing..keep drawing near to Christ and you will be blessed and uncluttered in your heart, mind and soul. Blessings to all of you~W💖💖

You gals have so much wisdom to share. You make a great team. Thank you.

Amen, Amen, Amen! Thank you ladies, this was a sweet gift from God….as are the two of you!

Diana, you look amazing! This blouse & hairstyle is absolutely flattering on you! ♡

I’m daughter & I just ruthlessly purged her closet & got two GIANT trash bags of things AND was able to move out a shelving unit to create a little cozy nook for her. It felt SOOO good!! I will also say that I’ve noticed the past two years have taught me that I really, truly don’t need all the back-up & what-if items cluttering up my spaces!

Thank You so so much for cheering me on and bringing to the forefront what is really needed! I come in agreement that we will spend our time reading and praying and prioritizing our lives!

I'm trying to stay off of Facebook and instead reading 2 pages of my Bible. But I have to Really read it, understand it and think about it. If I'm just scanning over the words and thinking about something else, I make myself re-read it. I think of it as if God is speaking to ME ! Which he is 🤗 God Bless everyone !

Yes, yes,yes, always keep a donation box handy! Mine is in closet. When it's full, I tape it up and haul it to a center. Yes pray without ceasing is my mantra, pray before you get out of bed even. Yes, we still need the Saturday video Diana, please! Yes on Bible reading and journaling, most peaceful part of my day. Unscribe to things that want your money or take away your peace. So appreciate you both. .. love and blessings to you precious ones. Ok, time for my Bible time and then to decluttering grandson's toy box! Be safe and guard the tender heart God graciously gave us,

Thank you ladies, as always, for the inspiration, encouragement, the faith and the relatability 🌟💖🕆💖🌟

I keep a large plastic bin on the floor of our bedroom closet. Anytime I find something that we don’t need I put it straight in the bin. When the bin is full, I throw everything into a garbage bag and take it straight to a donation centre. It makes not hanging onto things we don’t use or need anymore so much easier.

Dawn, I think Diana would love your Bible for next Birthday!! 😄♡

Thank you for both your inspiring messages and resources. I work front line in adolescent mental health. Committing to the dwell Bible app before I get out of bed has helped me more than reading the Bible cover to cover last year. I think what the morning devotional whether cover to cover or directed plan does at least for me is set my intention and mindset for the day. I really need that both in my work and family life. Thank you for all you do.

Great idea. A donation box (somewhere) in the house. I'm on it! Thanks, ladies.

You 2 are such a Blessing. I have started reading the book of Genesis, my goal is to read through the Bible this year. I am also decluttering, even though my hubby isn't on board (yet) I am doing what works for me and working on having less "stuff" to manage!

I've started following/reading/listening to the Bible Recap. Hoping to stick with it through out this year. Thank you for the recommendation.

Have been struggling a wee bit but i know better - thank you for the reminder of how important it is to make spending time in Gods word is and how life changing He is !!!!!!

Thanks for today's encouragement.. you speak TRUTH.. we are bombarded with ads/people telling us we NEED this or that.. I'm pretty good with de-cluttering and minimalism.. but on the other side, I STRUGGLE with not clicking that "buy" ... Have a wonderful week! He is For Us! Unfortunately, the link to your new cool study Bible lured me directly to Amazon... waaaahhh. LOL. But Yay God, I did not make a purchase. I have a perfectly wonderful Bible already. 😁

Great job ladies! Love both of your channels! 🙏🏻👍❤️

Brilliant 🌟 you two are so awesome! Really struck a chord with me you saying about hurrying on to the next verse! Thank you for your openness ❤️

Love you beautiful ladies and appreciate both your channels so much. 💕❤️

Always happy to see your videos!

I'm in "the season of life" 😉 that I can have my bible reading and prayer time when I get up in the mornings. For years when I worked and raising my boys my bible reading had to wait until after they were in bed. I like it much better now sitting, relaxing, drinking a cup of tea and reading my Bible.

Bless you both

It’s, always a bright spot in my day when you two are together. Thank you both for your uplighting positivity and adorable smiles. I do feel the love.

You both are so inspiring and such a gift to those of us who need and want what you offer on KZfaq. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What a blessing you are to us and to each other.

Thank you ladies. I love seeing you two together. Your combined laughter is so joyful. 💝

You remind me of Teri Savelle Foy, who also says "I'm cheering you on!"

Love you 2 thanks so much for these great words of encouragement

Thank you once more.

Thank you for this video ladies! Love you both

Words cannot describe my gratitude for the both of you as you share your faith and knowledge with me. It is a lonely time right now and so I appreciate seeing your interaction with each other through Christ. Blessings, Hélène

One year I read through a chronological Bible. It was so neat and really helped me see things with a different perspective. Praying for Gage and all. Thanks girls💙🙏💙

So very glad you guys are on… Yay!!! Happy New Year’s to both of you!! Thank God for you both!! 💜💜

I actually have the same bible but the tags are a great idea as I struggle to find the different books! Thanks.

You guys are so great! And I love how you incorporate faith into OUR every day. I hadn't related the peace of organization ("cleanliness is close to Godliness" I think is what it is) with the peace that God gives us and it's just so nice for it to be ONE in the SAME. And the journal along side the Bible to not just take notes but to write out your worries and give it to God. Prayers for Gage's tonsil inflammation, and prayers for you both that this Bible Study is better than anything else on the internet now. :) Cheers, happy 2022!

Diana ,dawn hiya to you both from me hear in bristol 😊love listening to you both 💜❤i love a declutter so satisfying 🥰😉keep doin what your doing ladys your both totally amazing 💋💋

Great team work Sisters !! enjoyed this video so much !! thank you 💕

I LOVED this video! It is so filled with wisdom and practical advice...and spot on with so many points! My word for this year is 'Simplify'. That includes my home, my time spent on social media/TV/KZfaq, etc., being content with and using what I already have, and making time for the things that should be most important. I am using the Life Application Bible (I'm not sure if that's the same one Dawn is using but they sound similar). I don't know if anyone else will find this helpful but one of the other things that has helped me to break the shopping 'hobby' is to unsubscribe from companies that constantly send me emails promoting sales, etc. Thank you, Diana (and Dawn)! Looking forward to Saturday's video 😊

Please pray for and with us at the end if your videos ....

Thank you Dawn. And Diana. I just bought the study bible. I have one that is falling apart. Time for new one. Great suggestion.

The two of you together are the best! 💕

Keep on caring! I have to listen to this again in order to process.

Diana, I identified with you getting geeked up over Dawn's new study bible. Isn't it precious that something like that truly interests and inspires us! Love It!!! I enjoyed hearing Dawn share her faith and personal quiet time habits. I like the worry journal idea too! Like the little guy mentioned down below, I missed the prayer at the end too! Your prayers are what drew me to your channel!

Thank you both for your encouragement! I Love my study Bible too! And spending my mornings reading it 💝 I started the Bible Recap over again! ✝️💜

Thank you so much for this video. I really relate to the shortened attention span during scripture reading and prayer. Thank you for the encouragement and tips. My focus really is better with a journal and the Spirit teaches me more clearly as well. I'm feeling motivated and inspired. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your terrific insights, Ladies. I’m also investing my focus on a smaller circle to protect time for what matters most. Dawn’s new Bible looks wonderful. I’m praying for complete healing and peace over Gage. 💙

I’m doing the Bible Recap for the first time, and I’ve had a whole group of ladies that have joined in! I am loving it so far!

Love You guys, Loved your message..

One of my New Year's resolutions is to fill up all the boxes that I receive "stuff" in with donations. I know that more will be leaving than coming in that way.

Ladies! Another awesome video that is spot on- at times yall made me want to cry! I have not only been decluttering the physical objects in my house but also virtual clutter. I have gone through my email and unsubscribed to newsletters etc I don't have time to read, and stopped logging in to social media that doesn't help me be a better person. I look forward to the Bible study videos- definitely an area I need to work on for the mental stress I am feeling.

Many thanks Ladies. I agree with Dawn and say a Study Bible helps so much when doing my bible reading each day. I got the John McArthur one for Christmas and it has been such a blessing. Keep up the good work. You are such a blessing to this community. Every blessing for 2022 to you both. Xx

This video was perfectly timed for me. I've been fasting in a few areas in my life to start the year, one is participating in the Daniel fast and the other is staying off of social media. Both have been so helpful in quieting my mind and making space for me to spend time with God. I logged into Facebook this morning to see if a devotion I like was posted and I was immediately hit with all of the posts that I felt l needed to respond to and just so much input that I had to immediately turn it off. I am realizing that I'm not made to keep up and respond to that level of input and information. I am also tackling closets and collection spots in my house and getting stuff out. Some of that is super easy and other parts are pretty hard. I just keep feeling like I need to remove the clutter in my home and mind to make room for what God has for me. Thank you for this video!

I just dropped off EIGHT large bags for donations and 8 bags of garbage out. #declutter #winning thank you for the tips, motivation and LOVE my decluttering book Dawn @TheMinimalMom !!

This is by far my favorite video as you touch on two of my favorite topics, faith and decluttering. Thank you for all the time and energy you both put into your videos. The Lord is using you to encourage so many people. My faith is growing and possessions shrinking because of you, haha!

I'm doing The Bible Recap again this year and I'm so excited for it. I've loved spending that time in the Word. I love Dawn's bible - thanks for the link! I'm getting it for sure. It's beautiful and I look forward to learning even more! Thanks Ladies! Love you both!

You both have blessed my life! I look forward to each and every post! May God bless you and your families abundantly!

So glad to see that Dawn's boys have clutter to get rid of too, lol! Makes the rest of us feel normal! Great reminder that we can't pray without getting our brains to trust in the Lord, who is much greater than ourselves. Thanks for another encouraging video, ladies☺️
