![Is It Ok To Clean Like A Monk? [Reaction to The Minimal Mom]](/img/n.gif)
I just found your channel about two months ago. Iam watching 4 or 5 a day. I am trying to catch up.
I am 75, widowed, and living in a small trailer. I lost my home after my husband died . Your easy to listen to videos are so full of love. I am encouraged by them.
Thank you for being so real and full of God's wisdom and truth .
So sorry about you losing your home sending a big hug from England to a very brave strong lady
Hi Diana, the cause special to my heart are our military veterans. My husband is a 100% disabled vet and we have been blessed to have resources to help him. My prayer is for those vets that are struggling to get what they need. There are at least 28 vets who commit suicide daily and we need to help them. Please pray for them and all of our military members stationed everywhere. God Bless you and your sweet family! ❤ Becky
Thank u for sharing this. I'm glad she asked because it sure brings awareness
Yes, thank him and your family for his service! I really don't think the general population understands how hard a lot of them suffer. God bless our military!
Sorry for what you and your husband are going through. I am thankful for his/your service to our country. 🇺🇸 ❤
Yes! My husband is 95% and we have been so blessed by the Wounded Warrior Project. I'm so thankful for those who pour into the veterans!
The thing that is dear to my heart is new born children. When my youngest daughter was in the hospital before she passed away I learned from the nurses that there are new born babies who are born who they know will not make it. They said that some parents cannot handle it and just leave their babies at the hospital. I would so love to go and rock those babies while they are here on this earth.
Wow, thats hard to believe!
Your tragedy made your mother heart strong. I understand that. I am comforted knowing that losing a child can have great blessings, and it is pure love to accept that. God Bless you and all moms who live the bittersweet.
So sorry for your profound loss. Love your sweet heart.
Having been adopted and having adopted, prolife and pro-adoption causes are dearest to my heart.
We miss you Diana, hope all is well with you and your whole family !!!
Helping the people in Israel who have been harmed and / or displaced since the attack by Hamas on October 7th is what tugs at my heart.
My heart also.
I have five and I am Drowning. We homeschool and my husband works a lot. There is rarely ever ever any alone time anytime to do anything I like to do. The struggle
You need to take time to nurture yourself. Prayers
Thank you Diana. I could listen to you all day! I have spent many years treading cautiously around practicing faith due to negative church interactions and expectations. I feel a tug that feels right to follow along lightly. My heart is thankful. 🙏
Glad we can continue on together… praying you find the right next steps for you and your heart 💛
Im so sorry for your trauma and continued pain. There are many of us out here who have been hurt by those who we should have been able to trust! I just want you to know that Jesus can be trusted and He wasn’t the one who hurt you.
Thank you for your love and joy. Bless you and your family. I agree with you that I am God's ambassador where ever I am and try to give a kind word and smile to each person I interact with.
I would like to encourage you in praying for your baby's sleep. When my daughter was a baby, if she fell asleep when we were out in the car she would cry for hours once we stopped. Nothing we could do seemed to calm her very much. We seemed to spend a lot of time walking the floor with her and rocking her. Once we started praying for her when we knew we would be in the car for a while, we didn't have any more problems. If we forgot to pray it was a different story. So again I encourage you to pray for your baby's sleep. It works!
Heart warming to hear from positive people. All problems can be overcome with kindness.love and a positive attitude. You are wonderful
Your videos are superb. I love how you take a topic and weave it all through your message then end with a prayer. You are such a delight, beautiful, intelligent and you bring practical godly messages. ❤
It’s dogs for me, they have my heart and I plan to do more to push for spay and neuter in my community! It’s so important that people keep an animal for their lifetime. Treat them as like a friend. God needs us to care for his creatures. Do your part, people!
Diana, I just love your heart for prayer, for The Word, and for providing resources and encouragement to all of us as we learn and grow in these disciplines! I also appreciate your honesty about the struggles of life and yet the JOY you exude despite them! May God continue to bless and protect you and your beautiful family!
I’ve not been able to access the free Easter resource so I’ve bought another Lent journal and a book on the Lord’s Prayer. Both second have ( World of Books) to read in Lent. Second hand books that save the planet too.
My friend you are a true blessing. You bring pure sunshine into the world. God bless you. ❤
Diana, you have the MOST beautiful heart. When you said “I wish I could make it for you,” I truly knew you meant it even though you are stretched so thin right now. I teared up. It meant so much to see you reveal your heart to serve. 😢❤❤
This video was very helpful. I needed this. God bless you. Congratulations and welcome little Caden.
Hi Diana I printed out your booklet of pages for Easter last year. I gave them to each of our families with kids. I put the pages in a 3 ring binder and put the cover on the front of the notebook. I also want to thank you for recommending The Bible Recap. My husband and I are doing a second year with this. We absolutely love it. Thanks again for making the videos and all the information that you share. ❤️
What a wonderful surprise to see your post this morning! Great to see you!❤
Great to be back with you! 💛
Diana, feel free to talk all day. Just put it on live so we can listen to you as we walk around the house doing our chores.
A cause that touches my heart is mental illness. It is prevalent in my family from home and the suffering that comes along with it for them and those around them is absolutely heartbreaking 💔🙏🏼
The cause close to my heart is Veterans. My daughter is a veteran and we are not giving our Veterans the honor, money and health care they deserve!!
Your prayers are the best part of your posts! Thank you!❤
Hey! Look how well the Lions did this year...😊
Always look forward to your videos Diana.
Diana, I have to say that Kayden is the image of his daddy!😍. He’s growing up so quickly-though maybe you don’t feel that 😊 - but he really is the image of his father ❤
Only minor help for my never-sleeps-first was we got an mp3 of vacuum sounds. We got a boombox and played it on FULL VOLUME. It was the only way he would sleep not on a human for months. I think it mimics the noisy womb. My passion is marriages, and keeping them strong. When they tear apart, it is tearing apart so many more people, especially children. On the other side though are women (and some men) in seriously abusive relationships. That hurts my soul.
Hi Diana, our passion is strengthening marriages. We have been invited in a ministry called Familylife Weekend to Remember for over 20 years. It's an amazing ministry that brings hope and wholeness to marriages.
I buy items from Noonday which is very much like Trades of Hope. I also give to International Justice Mission which provides legal and rescue help to countries around the world. (Sara Grove is associated with IJM)
Hello Diana, I love listening to you and your healthy perspective on life. It’s so fun to watch!
My passion is to somehow help and be part of helping local orphan kids as I am an adopted myself and can see the need to give love to them. I have 3 kids myself so I now hope to figure out how we can all minister to them.
I laughed so hard! "Imagine you are drowning...and someone throws you a baby"!! 😂 Laughing again as I type this.
You could prepackage the spices and sell them as a business or a fundraiser.
The CLOVES Syndrome Community is a very important cause to me. CLOVES syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 400 people world wide. My daughter is one on those 400. Since there are so few people affected by this disorder there is very little money for research to help those with CLOVES. My family and I try to do what we can to raise awareness and funds for research.
My passion with my husband is helping people obtain financial peace!
I absolutely love the downloadable you are sharing, especially the Lent Prayer Prompts. I have never done lent, but often thought about doing it. Giving up sugar would be a great one for me. I also like the idea of adding something into my life that will bring a positive impact.
Thank you Diana! ❤
Thank you, have a beautiful and blessed day.
I loved this real video! I’m feeling you so much right now Diana! I’m in a new season with 4 now and two of them are twin 6 month olds and also togetehr they wake up 4-6 times each night and I feel stretched so thin! It’s nice to not feel alone in it! You’re doing great and you look great I’ve been struggling with the self care part bc I’m so tired!!! But I really enjoyed this video and you can always talk our ears off we are ok with it! 🥰🥰
❤❤❤❤God has blessed your heart- not divided but multiplied by 4… Thank you for seeing God’s Blessings in the challenges! Thank you for encouraging us to reach out even in our busy ness😊
Heh, I just checked that recipe and other than the chicken I have all ingredients in stock. I love food from all around the world and have quite the spice selection.
Just was reading through your Easter Planner. This is great. I printed some of the pages out and the prayer prompts. Like others have said love your prayers at the end. I have such a hard time praying out loud, what to say, and I become so emotional.
Diana, have you tried the swaddles for your baby? They seem to be very soothing and quiet the babies. My passion is for youth aging out of the foster care system. Hang in there! Hugs! ❤
Just love you and your family Diana ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so great!😊😊😊😊❤
Wow you really look like Diana in the mug clip picture with your hubby!
Thank you Diana for your faithful videos 👍l my favourite charity is Open Doors, helping persecuted Christians, Joanna
Dianna! I love Indian food! My hubby and I just went on a date night to get some on Thursday! He was so sweet to go as he isn’t a huge fan of it!
I would love to see more recipes/ maybe even a cook with me? So glad you are back! Happy Valentines-Easter-Super Bowl! HA!
Kite Hill is a good brand of dairy free cream cheese if anyone is looking for that! I thought about that when you mentioned using cream cheese in your chili. I will try it.
Bless you and thank you for the work you do in encouragement and leading women for Christ. I'll be downloading your Lent guide, I so appreciate a free resource! Praying for that sleep training miracle 😆
I just love you, Diana! Thank you for all you do! You just bless my heart so very much! And I agree In Jesus Name that your sweet baby boy will start sleeping better!!!! ❤
Super Bowl. Husband is from Kansas I am from Santa Clara (where the 49'rs actually play) we are a house divided. Pray for us! LOL
Diana I've missed your videos so much! I'm 35 and just had my first baby 4 months ago. I would love to hear more about your motherhood journey and lessons you've learned about life with littles. Have a great Friday! ❤
Preserving the lives of the unborn is one of my passions....the other is the rescue, redemption, and rehabilitation of those who have been trafficked, especially the children.
🌱 thank you 🌷
I donate to No Kids Hungry and Heifer International.
Causes that touch me are domestic violence 😢
I love listening to Home Gupshup on you tube,almost as much as listening to you. She is an Indian woman living in Germany. She cooks a lot and I am always amazed at the spices she has. Where does she get them all? I thought you might enjoy her. She is calming and pleasant.
I’m definitely checking out the recipe. Thank you!!
😊
Much love ❤ to you, Diana and family. I'm amazed how the Lord has used my home as a place for many to live for a time, There was a time my bathtub was used for a family that was staying in the campground. My washing machine here over the many years how it has helped so many, At times, people would drop off their laundry. I would just wash it dry it. They picked it up, and I just did it to bless them. My kitchen, how the Lord is that to encourage mom to be able to make healthy meals for their family when they don't know how. Years ago, my sewing machine, how that would mend fix things for people all just blessing others. Over 30 years ago, our family went through a shift, not by choice, and it really opened my eyes to be aware of ways to be a blessing to other people. Back in that time, I said Lord if I can keep my home, use it for your glory." Here it is over thirty years, the people who have stayed in my home for different reasons. All I can say is I stand amazed. All I can say is that God is so very good. The Lord is good, and he is faithful. I'm so thankful for how you encourage. And are that voice for the Lord Jesus. ❤ Bless you with bunches of love from all of us and from the heavenly father to you and your family, Diana. May you experience overflowing love.❤ I didn't come from a family that I always opened their eyes heart in hands to others, When we ask the Lord, how can we be a blessing he will show us. We just have to be willing. Lord, let us be people that will overflow Love to this broken world And be that light so many will find you.
well I already gave up all unnatural sugar and found I sleep so well since so I am not going back. Mi don’t drink alcohol or smoke and I’m vegetarian so no meat. I do have 1 coffee made at home per day. Not thinking I’ll give that up but maybe. I’m thinking rather than giving something up I should do in more bible time reading and prayer 😊. I’m 61 and retired but so busy. I will also kneel ❤
Steppin !❤ Oh Valentines Day is my 65th Birthday. How did that happen ???😮😊
Hi, do you have video's regarding grief of loss of husband?
Hi Diana, You can put that sweet drawing in a larger frame. Just tape it to a piece of paper and stick it in the frame.
Michael’s sells 3 X 3 frames.
Domestic violence after losing both of my parents to it ❤️
Operation Christmas Child.
wow i never realised you looked so much like Dawn with your darker shorter hair and glasses 😂
Hospice
Trades if Hope is a MLM company. While on the surface it seems like you are helping a good cause …
Yes, it seems like a great cause, but the irony is the company is taking advantage of women, the “Partners” in the MLM. It’s so unnecessary for that company to be an MLM because the products and the makers would get more support if it wasn’t.
I just found the same info on the Trades of Hope business. Too bad bc it seemed like something good to support. Now I know just another US pyramid scheme!
Have you ever watched Chetna Makan's videos here on youtube? She is a great cook in Britain...
Prisoner abuse
I really think you should disclose that TRADES OF HOPE is a MLM! I like you a lot but I think it’s wrong you aren’t disclosing that you personally are making a profit off selling trades of hope.
Be careful thinking that showing love lets people know God loves them. Not really! My atheist friend ACTS like the best Christian I've ever encountered. She made fun of me when I complimented her for being the BEST CHRISTIAN I ever met. She ridiculed me for believing in an IMAGINARY GOD!!! 😪
I love your prayers that you usually pray at the end of each video. Have you ever thought of gathering these up and putting them into a little book of prayers? I belong to a Bible study group, and usually at the beginning in the end they ask for somebody to pray, and I feel self conscious to just ad lib it, I can, but I get nervous. I often think of your prayers and wish that I had them written down . It might be a little project I do for myself is to try to get these little prayers of yours and then put them in a notebook so I can use them if I need to. Thanks for your work and inspiration. ❤❤
Oh Diana it is so good to see you. Your children are beautiful. Thank you for the reminder for the acts of ❤️ love.thank you for the beautiful prayer ❤️
I could listen to you talk all day!!!! :)
MN Adult and Teen Challenge for addiction has my heart. Listening to their testimonies of how Jesus pulled them from death to life, from slavery to freedom is better than Disney World.
I am in America, and mine is how do we even have severely disabled and elderly people with no home?
You bring us so much joy with your videos. Thank you!
I pray regularly for the sick, particularly two young men to be returned to their families, from ICU, to being healthy fathers and husbands.
Praying for best possible outcome.
Cause that touches my heart: refugees! Because “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Good to see you this morning, Diana! And Go Chiefs! (I live in Kansas)
Used to live in KC and now StL area. Go Chiefs!
Great cause and I’m cheering for the Chiefs too 😉
I love you and your message but I really encourage you to do more research on Trades of Hope and their horrible practises. There is video after video highlighting the dark side of their MLM.
Hannah Alonzo sums it up perfectly.
Just love listening to your chats, and your heart ❤️
I’ve seen those walking pads talked about everywhere lately! Such a great small space option to get some extra steps in 😊
Lovely to see and hear you again. I hope you are well and your family are thriving.
Many Blessings❤
Thank you. Something clicked. In 2024 one of my goals is to read 12 minutes a day at least 24 days a month. So far so good.
I’ve had a devotional for a couple years that I’ve wanted to read but keep thinking I need to devote specific time to it- in a structured way. Listening to you it clicked. My 12 minutes of reading time, I’ll just swap out books through Lent. That 12 minutes I can read the daily and then sit in thought and prayer. If it goes over- so be it.
Just a simple thing, but hadn’t clicked in the same way. We do practice Lent, so I’ve had other thoughts in preparation. This aligns so well.
Thank you.
How about the Bible?
Your praying means a lot, thank you.
Love LOVE your gal-down-the street style and personality. I always tell my husband that “I visited with my friend(s) today!”, after I watch your (and Dawn’s) videos! Thanks for packing so much in today. Tip: check out Mercari and Poshmark, too, for item replacements. Thanks for the suggestions about demonstrating God’s Love this month. Can’t wait until my “friend’s” next video. Thank you!!!
Remember to put the date and story on the back of the picture. You can get a larger frame and use colored or print paper to make a mat. I’m guessing you have some construction paper in your house. Advice from a grandma that can’t remember the dates and stories.
Shriners burn hospital for children. In 2006 my son was burnt 58% of his body in a house explosion. We were lucky he was flown to Shriners in Cincinnati Ohio and was saved.
I enjoy feeding and or taking care of peoples basic needs. Or taking things to people shut in or assisted living to make their life better.
Diana!!
I had no idea about trafficking increasing during the super bowl 😮
I'm sure you're serious, where can we find out more about how they know this etc...?
Love your hair. Your Adidas. Your love. Your honesty. Your faith. Thank you❤
I love that you're asking the Holy Spirit to sleep train your Caden. ❤ We should have done that for our grand baby Susie.
Aww, you are so dear. I ramble too, it's ok, we don't mind. Dearest to my heart right now, is that sickness is so rampant everywhere. Praying for healing, endurance and strength. I pray for your little and his sleeping; I understand I went through that with mine too, they are all grown now.
Though not ‘a cause’, my heart goes out to those who are isolated… living in Rest Homes, etc. I LOVE that you prayed that the Holy Spirit will sleep train Caden & I look forward to your book! Thank you for your powerful encouragement & for praying us out as you do! My prayers for you & your crew are on-flowing! Thank you for your greatly appreciated insight & beautiful inspiration for Valentines Day! LOVE it! May HIS love be at work in & through each of us… always! P.S. Your daughter’s picture gave tingles! Did you frame it? Also, what do you do with treasures done by your children? ✨💖✨🙏🏼
Trafficking weighs heavily against me. It hurts me so bad to think about the rate it’s exceeding the sell of drugs. Because they found out they can sell a drug once but they can sell a human over and over. I read that they can sell a child for sex traffic five plus times a day ☹️
Every new video is just an ad for ToH. How sad.
You don't know how much I love and appreciate you, i know you are busy with your 4 little children but you bless me and others with each video and prayer you share with us. God bless you and andwer your sleep training for baby Caden❤️
Thank you Diana. I needed to hear your message today. The cause close to my heart would be abused & battered women. I have never put the two together. But trafficking would defiantly fall into that realm. Thank you for the clarity.
Diana, so nice to see you posting. You look fabulous, Mama !! I give to many but my giving to St. Jude's for the children is one of my favorite. One on one with each child is something my husband and I have done all their lives. They, each week would get to go with Dad to a restaurant or just for hot chocolate and dessert with just him. He worked so hard to help us and we liked that he could spend time with just each one where they could get his full attention. So only one each week and they were sure to remember when it was their turn :) They are now grown with children of their own and they have taken on the same ideas with their own kids. Now we get to take each grandchild by themselves too and enjoy the one on one with them as they open up much more when we are one on one too. Of course, we still love the family get together's too. They now are also growing up so quickly. So as they are young, enjoy as much time as you can, but let others help you and relax knowing that it's because they love you and your family too. I think your oldest daughter is at a perfect age to start to have one on one time with Mommy or Daddy, Thanks for being you !! Always enjoy your videos !!
Human trafficking is my number one concern. My heart is broken by how much this occurs and how hidden it is. I don't understand why this isn't an outcry by everyone to stop it.
