I'm really grateful you said in both videos that your mother is an organised person although her pantry was a mess. I am too, super organised, and that's a big part of my identity but since December I've been pregnant with a lot of rough symptoms, and my home has gone from meticulous to messy! I just can't seem to keep up because I truly need a lot of rest. Hearing that there are other organised people with messy houses makes me feel a bit better about myself. It gives me hope that I'll get back on my feet as soon as I feel better. I'll start off with a declutter for sure...

The time crunch only gets worse when the baby comes! They don't sleep. Dawn has said before that organized people with too much inventory call themselves "lazy" when they see the mess build up. How would this is just a syptom of too much. Consider that you may need to downsize and simplify. Mom of a newborn doesn't ha e any more time to clean and organize than pregnant. And when baby naps, so should you! Because you'll have to be awake when baby is awake.

Oh man I just went through something very similar!! I just had my baby but I remember saying first trimester that I could do 10% of what I used to (and we're talking basic stuff like making meals, doing a few dishes, taking care of my other kids...). I had done a lot of decluttering but switched to paper plates for a time because I just needed that much rest. I had my mom come and help with dishes and clean my disgusting bathroom while I literally sat there because I just needed that much rest. Don't forget that you're doing a lot- you're growing a whole human!!!!!❤️❤️❤️ And this season won't last forever- get your rest and give yourself grace- you are doing something wonderful❤️

I come from a very conservative background and the church is under attack for anything it says or if the people have an opinion. I stopped the video to look up the song and the backlash- wow. Ouch, also some people do need to lighten up but I could also see the harm how some people did take it out of context. My Dad, was never the one to put the rules down on dressing for me it was my Mom. She taught me to be a lady from the inside out. She would say, “someone can strip you of everything but they cannot take what’s inside your head, heart and soul. God is with you, always and his love reaches the darkest corners of the earth to find you if you ever walk away.” My father would teach us, “Always speak the truth in love whether it’s about your friend stealing an eraser or you’re (politely) informing someone you dislike their homemade dish (if asked).” Essentially, with Gods love the heart can relay the message of kindness from the hard matters of life to the easier stuff. Yes, we all do have opinions. We all come from different backgrounds. It’s what makes us individuals with free choice given to us at birth. Thank you for the uplifting word and for standing for truth even when it isn’t popular. Also, again Thanks to the Farmhouse Mama of you ladies for sharing her progress! 🥳💖 Blessings to your week!!

Hey Dawn! I love these spiritual Sunday videos :) I thought I'd share a perspective I was recently exposed to about the phrase "modest is hottest" that you might find interesting. When many people say modest is hottest, what they mean is that you don't need to conform to societal norms to be beautiful or desirable. I think we are on the same page here, I love that sentiment! A deeper level of this that was exposed to, is that the phrase is still promoting the fundamental ideology that your body's purpose is to be desirable to others. I know this isn't usually the intent of the phrase, but I was enlightened by that perspective and thought you might be as well :)

I’ve found modesty actually makes me more comfortable and confident. I’m never self conscious when I’m reasonably covered. Which allows me to focus on others and not myself more. Certainly we are not responsible for other’s hearts, but when we truly love our brothers (men) we will not want to be a stumbling block to them in any way.

I agree on modesty. And non- flashy clothes. And I’m not religious at all so it’s not a part of my religion or my culture or anything. And it doesn’t have to do with men at all - their feelings are their responsibility. I just don’t want to be thinking about people’s reaction to how I look as I’m going about my average day.

I used to think this way, too. The problem with it is that you can't control what other people wear or don't wear. To make your thoughts and actions be about another person is avoiding personal responsibility. Modesty needs to be in your own mind and actions; not in what other people are wearing/doing.

@@jeanettehansen4852 Exactly!! If you want to dress in ways that follow your personal interpretation and standard of modesty, by all means knock yourself out! I'm here for it! The problem comes when we enforce our subjective standards of modesty on others in a way that implies it's objectively the only acceptable way and worse, lay judgement (or even harassment 😬) on those who choose to express themselves otherwise. I love how you said we need to be responsible for our own thoughts and actions. So much focus is on what people (especially women) wear because people who are attracted to them would rather blame them instead of taking responsibility for their own thoughts and actions. I'm on a diet for myself but i'm not out here trying to get sugary sweets banned because they tempt me and i'm too weak to resist. That's MY problem! lol

@@calliemyersbuchanan6458 That's a great analogy between tempting treats and and immodest clothing! For myself, I dress in what I think would be considered modest by most people. If I try to force my choice on others, I could get so caught up in what they're wearing, that I neglect the person inside those clothes. A friend of mine has a saying in their family to "love first", meaning that if you judge people, you don't have time to love them. I think that's true.

Thanks Mom... no reason to be embarrassed ! I think your pantry is more normal than we all admit. ❣️

I really like using a clear "tackle box", the flat rectangular ones for batteries, I make slots for each type of battery we keep. Love this video! So glad you shared😍.

I had no choice but to make a mess when I was cleaning out my backroom which is my laundry room and pantry. But I didn't give up and got rid of so much stuff and even got rid of the cheap Sauder pantry and put up nice metal shelves to hold my stuff. It looks so much better and now I can actually see what I have and don't have!

I really appreciated Diana's devo today!! A friend and I have been talking about how nowadays we cannot have different opinions and still be friends! I disagree with quite a lot of some of my friends. However, I still value them as a person and my friend. I wish this were more prevalent today! Maybe I need to begin praying for that!! God works, God moves, God does!!! 👍💕 Thx, ladies!!! Love you both!!

Modesty starts on the inside ♡ It becomes a natural part of our personality as we realize what true worth is. Our priorities turn away from pleasing others and toward self growth and being GOOD people.

Seriously. Thinking of my belongings as inventory has completely changed my outlook on my entire house. It was my “aha moment” to start my decluttering journey. I’m only a few months in. I actually took off this week in the hopes of getting a massive decluttering done all at once so I can give myself at least a small “sanctuary” away from the clutter for my birthday this week. Thank you for flipping the light switch on for me and wish me luck this week 🤞

I so love that you read those phrases and pray in the end. It always gives me goose bumps. I have had my struggles in the past with religion but habe always been searching for a spiritual connecting. I recently found my way back to the Lord and now I feel very touched whenever I hear those words of wisdom. Thank you both for your work. You are a real blessing at least for me. I have recently started my journey of decluttering and everything I've watched so far was such a great help. Thank you 🙏🏼

Man oh man you hit the mail on the head for me about being patient & slow down. I have had that ‘hurry up’ thought so many times & when I do I end up doing a sloppy job & end up redoing whatever it is I ‘hurried up’ with but when I slow down & take my time then I’m pleased & happy with the results. Thank you for this session today. Blessings to you two & your families! 🤗💞

I haven't seen the video of the pantry declutter but I can't thank your Mom enough for letting you share her "pantry journey" because mine is not deep, but just as full and unorganized...I know that mine can absolutely be great too!!

I was skeptical of the container method. Now I LOVE it! I'm using it to limit kids clothes and decorations - we're still growing our family, so I want to keep some kids clothes, and I love decorating for the seasons. But I don't need as much as I have! I never thought of myself as a "stuff" person, but magically we ended up with 3 van loads to take to Goodwill... I got my husband on board with decluttering by offering the space for him to use to decompress. We're going to turn it into a prayer space! I've been binging your channel as I declutter about half an hour a day :)

Thank you for the Bible verse today. It resonated with me. I have a former student who has gone through several horrible battles with regards to her health. She could be quite bitter about it but instead she shares positive uplifting messages every day on FB. I have begun sharing her posts because they make me feel so good. I look forward to reading them each day. Love and kindness do matter!

It was a wonderful gift you gave your mother, by organizing the pantry, but when all is said and done, the clean shelves won't compare with the time you spent together doing it. She's obviously proud of you , being such a help to us, out in the world, but how sweet was it of you to help HER!
