I did a spending freeze for 2024. It came naturally after I embraced minimalism. I was able to pay off my new car in 11 months. Now I am able to save for my children's college funds, with my oldest starting in 2025! I was also able to buy a Christmas present for a teenager from the giving tree at my church. I love your channel and Dawn's too! My mom, my sister, and my aunt love watching you as well. Keep up the awesome work!
My husband has been out of work since June of this year and yet we have not missed a single bill or lacked for anything we needed. The Lord has been our Jehovah Jireh and He has provided for emergencies before we even knew we would need it. We have had to make changes to our spending to be good stewards of what He has provided but we have not gone without. And now He has provided my husband with a working opportunity that challenges him and gives him freedom to make his own schedule. God is absolutely and always Good!!
Hi Diana! I've been really working on gratitude for God's blessings, trust in his provisions and being worthy of them, because financially I am struggling and its very stressful. This week I won 50$ on my football board and the next day work informed me that our Christmas bonus is being doubled this year. Another $100. And that this month I will be receiving a substantial raise. God really does provide! I feel so blessed this morning, I'm going to a Toys for Tots fundraiser, with my grocery money to spread some JOY! Stress free!!!🙏😘
❤ since my husband had a heart attack in August we have watched our spending God has provided in amazing ways!! We believe in tithing and have for years, He had someone give us 40 lbs deer meat, a gift card for groceries, a box of food each month! And He had prepared us for something a few years ago, I had started stocking up on basic stuff we use all the time, coffee, canned goods, soap, etc! Thank you for encouragement, I love listening to your advice!!
I learned to trust in the Lord many years ago when my husband and I were both in college. Our church was planning a women's weekend event (don't remember the particulars) and I needed $20.00 Back in 1978 that was a lot, especially for a poor college student. I prayed and asked for the Lord to provide if he wanted me to go to this weekend event. Several days later, I was standing at the bus stop in the cold and snow. Several people stepped onto the bus before me. Just as I was getting ready to step onto the bus, my eye caught something in the snow. I bent down and picked up a $20.00 bill. Just what I needed to be able to go to the women's weekend event! God provided. My husband and I have been married now for 48 years. God has continued to provide. He never disappoints!
Hi! I was recently made redundant. This really made me re-evaluate my spending. It opened my eyes to the fact I was working to be able to consume. I am now looking for a job with less hours so I can better take care of myself rather than have an excess of products that I don’t actually need. God bless you and thank you for sharing this lesson.
I love this. I went down to 3 days of work this winter to work on myself. I absolutely love it. Going through all my stuff and taking what I don’t need to the thrift store. Less is so much more. My paycheck has been smaller cause I’m self employed but I’m spending less and now saving for retirement.
Learning to tithe, give, and live more open handed has proven God to be faithful to provide and bless. We give to give, not give to get, but honestly He has given back richly. We cannot outgive the giver of every good and perfect gift.
My sister and I did a 3 month financial fast. We were not to buy anything "extra," and if we did a portion of the amount spent, was to be donated to our church or a charity. It was a very good process for us. I think we need to do it again!
God thank You for lovingly showing up through your servant Diana...so nice to have prayer, guidance and support...now that I need it as I accept You Lord and the amazing wealth that You have for ALL of us...Your precious children.❤
I’ve found that it’s easy to get a myopic/self-focused perspective when we have money issues. The Bible tells us that, “ where are treasure is there our heart will be also. So store it for yourself treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy…”. I had a great pastor that taught that, when you feel the most in need and worried about how God is going to come through for you, that’s the perfect time to give and serve. It helps you to focus on others and the bigger picture. To be servants and ambassadors of Christ. It also helps you realize what you have. To have the joy of giving and serving. That leads to contentment and recalling God’s faithfulness.
Diana, I absolutely loved this and so much of it rings true in my heart. I love that you spoke of stewardship. We are all stewards in many ways. All of our possessions truly come from God. We become stewards of them and must be mindful of how we use that. We are stewards within our own family - over our children, etc. HE has given us so much and He wants us to show humility and gratitude. I LOVE the story of the young rich ruler. As you mentioned, he approached Jesus and asked what more he could do as he has followed all of the commandments. He comes before the Lord and specifically asks him, “What Lack I yet?”. Jesus then responds go sell all you have, give it to the poor and come follow me. In studying this chapter I realized we can all come before the lord and ask the same - what lack I yet? What do I need to work on next to nearer to thee? I hesitantly put this to the test for fear I too would be asked do do some really hard thing like giving away my home and living in a tent or something like that. But you know what Heavenly Father knows us each so well. As I prayed and asked humbly “what lack I yet” I had a thought come to my mind to call my friend and offer to watch her baby so she and her husband could attend a special church service. It wasn’t really hard - it was a few hours of serving my friend so she could spend time with her husband and the Lord. I felt good that I was able to help her in a small way by giving up some of my time to serve her family. A week or so later she approached me and said how much it meant to her to have had that time as she had been secretly struggling with something ( she lost a baby) but hadn’t told anyone. She questioned God and had been praying to find peace and comfort. She said how offering to watch her son enabled her to spend time in a sacred place and receive an answer to her prayer. Although this was not related to finances, in a way it was as it was serving and helping and trying to see what I could do to draw one step nearer to my Heavenly Father. So Heavenly Father showed me that He is aware of me and my friend also received her answers. As a result, we both strengthened our relationship with God. Just wanted to share that story as God knows exactly where we are and what we need next. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know any effort to strengthen that relationship we will be blessed with in increase in peace and true joy. I am grateful for wonderful people like you who uplift others and challenge others to do a little better. Nothing huge but just a little better. Thank you Diana!!!❤
Month after month I've cut back as much as I can and the only thing I can cut back on now is my food budget, the numbers don't add up, I can't pay everything but yet every month I do, it's impossible but God is making it work. I try not to worry God has proven that he's got me covered, it's hard but I have to remind myself of how I've been taken care of in the past and not worry, I can trust him ❤
I think the most rewarding lesson I have learned is that the best things in life isn't things. I used to like "stuff". Now I realize how little that stuff did to give me joy. The things of God are what brings joy. Praying, reading the Bible, helping those in need, knowing that our lives are not our own and that we are here to serve. It took awhile but I finally got here and have a ways to go, but I'll get there too. The tragic situation in Western NC and Tn really helped me to see that everything we think we own could be gone in a moment. Then where would I be? What would I depend on? Without God, it's all vanity.
Diana, You are such a blessing! My husband and I took part in Crown Financial Ministries several years ago. They teach that everything comes from God and we are only stewards of what is given to us. If we look at the money we have as God's, and we are just managing it for Him, we really are aware of how we spend. It changed our lives for sure. And, I have seen so many blessings when we strive to be good stewards.
My church has an Acts 2 private Facebook page where we can give away our extras to whoever needs it. It’s all great stuff. We got a bike for our grandson last summer and we will put it back on the page next summer when he outgrows it.
Dianna , we’re always on a financial fast. We’ve been doing for so long it doesn’t even feel like a fast, but merely the exercise of stewardship. And “financial instability?” Pshaw! We’re so blessed that it’s insane. We’ve been able to eliminate consumer credit debt a little at a time (with a lot of help from Promise Keepers advice) and STAY out, by exercising care and thoughtfulness in spending. We’re so much better off than when we got together, and consider every penny that comes through the door a rich and honored blessing. And speaking of blessings, you and Dawn are so instrumental in fine tuning our lives and household! We truly appreciate your love, prayers, encouragement and the time you spend, sharing your thoughts and energy with the rest of your followers.
Thank you for sharing this! I love the idea of seeing spending as a form of worship, makes me more aware of where and why I put my money and other resources. Our family lives the law of tithing and it has been such a blessing to our family both financially and spiritually.
What a great message! It's especially needed this time of the year. My husband has been out of work many times over the years,but we continued to tithe. God took care of all our needs above and beyond what we could ever have imagined. God is so good!
Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to see finance in worship and fasting in this area - I definitely appreciate it ❤ never to old to learn and change bad habits 🙏💕
Thank you so much for your simple guidance. One statement that got me was that "Giving to God is not a percentage but about the condition of the heart." Its easier to give a percentage than to give everything to God in worship. Percentage can become a work that is detached from love and worship. I'm starting today to be closer to Jesus by worshipping him with my finances. I'll let you know what happens. God bless you. ❤
I needed this: encouragement financially speaking.. Each year I typically go Christmas decor all out (for what that pertains to me) but this year my ADHD/ADD wife n mom brain has been really struggling with the “noise” of clutter and chaos. And I just felt that I will … my whole family will be ok with scaling back and bringing it back to the simple, warm cozy that it once used to be when I was younger and had the energy and mind space .. I never thought to look at spending as worship but it makes sense.. given that everything given to us is from HIM.. and we should always be mindful of ourselves and how we worship HIM, especially when He calls us to be Holy just as He is HOLY. This was an encouraging video and thank you for sharing ..
Thanks, Diana, for all you do for all of us, and may all the Blessing of Christmas be with you and your family. I'm careful with my spending. My husband and I live within our means and tithe, but what I realized is that that didn't mean that I was spending worshipfully! My heart was not necessarily in the frugality, and I even found that focusing on being frugal made my heart stingy, which then made it seem dry rather than rich and joyful. Your message inspired me to renew my prayers to seek the LORD and treat the money as a tool or afterthought to that!
Love this❤ Quick question- I thought tithe translated to 10%? My church teaches 10% tithing, and then a generous ' fast offering' that goes directly to those in need in my local area. I can attest to the blessings of following this principle!!
Hi Diana! Is there a video of different devotionals to buy? I want to buy one, but not sure which one. I love your taste in pretty things. Also, I used to have much less money and I made it a goal to do one act of service or one kind act a day and I never felt so happy in my life. Every need I had was provided for and abundantly. I now have much more money and I always find ways to spoil people in need and my bank account is always full. (Not rich, I just always have enough)
I love this devotional: Good Morning Jesus It’s Me: 365... www.amazon.com/dp/1424566916?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share And this is such an encouraging story, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the wise counsel. Your videos are clear, to the point and also full of heart and wisdom. So, thank you! (Just one thought, though, the baseball cap is distracting- especially when you turn your head and your eye disappears from view. It a little thing, but I find it distracting and need to backtrack to make sure I caught what you were saying. Maybe it's just me.) God bless you!
I ask God to help me when I enter a store. Ask Him to bring me a good deal and that He would give me self-control. Dave Ramsey and God’s Word agree with being debt free. You can do it!!

What about so many people who are homeless, hungry and have no money for their needs? There are more and more people having to live in their vehicle, if they have one, in both U.S. A. And Canada. Should not be.

@DianaKokku thank you Diana. I just don't want people to think God is only interested in our spiritual health. I'm into Biblical healing, and I encounter 99% of people who believe God will only help us with spiritual health but they think God wants us sick and broke until we get to heaven. It's very sad that people will only trust doctors to heal them because they think God even GAVE them the illness. God gets a bad rap lots of times.
It's nice but... cutting expenses is not going anywhere for everyone. Are we maintaining? How db we get out of this? You might be getting offerings at church and she's doing UA-cam.

The biggest thing for me is be a blessing with no strings attached. Also allow people to be a blessing to me.

I started to tithe years ago. I have had no money issues since. No matter what I make sure I tithe first. Hi Diana. From Angela.

I haven't ever done any type of no spend tbh. But for a short time of my life i tithed. Could not believe how God blessed me during that time
Yes! Thank you for sharing! 💛

This was an encouraging video and thank you for sharing ..
I’m having similar feelings about decor this year and keeping it simple! So glad the message was encouraging 💛
I love your prayers best ❤
This is excellent, Diana. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this important reminder. It’s so easy to think short-term about our money. Especially with marketing bombarding us. Grateful for you
Love this Biblical perspective and encouragement! Thanks for taking the time to share with us, Diana :)
What necessary video we all need.
Thanks, Diana, for all you do for all of us, and may all the Blessing of Christmas be with you and your family.

Diana, I need more videos like this (as well as all your other wonderful ones)!
You got it! ❤
Really good explanation. We are to give to benefit us, not to take away from us. ❤
I needed this message.
Love the thought of my spending as a spiritual thing! ❤ Thanks Diana!
Love this❤

Oh this is good!

Excellent ! Thank you .
I did a spending freeze all of 2017. The habit i took away from that year was to not shop for entertainment.
Ty😊
Thank you for the wise counsel. Your videos are clear, to the point and also full of heart and wisdom. So, thank you! (Just one thought, though, the baseball cap is distracting- especially when you turn your head and your eye disappears from view. It a little thing, but I find it distracting and need to backtrack to make sure I caught what you were saying. Maybe it's just me.) God bless you!
Unrelated but i was sooo bummed to see that the sweet and simple event in FL for February was cancelled. Was so looking forward to it but next year 😊🌴
What is the sweet and simple event?
I had not seen that😕
Yeah I had prepaid for my ticket and got a refund with explanation that it'll be next year. Like 2026 I imagine
I ask God to help me when I enter a store. Ask Him to bring me a good deal and that He would give me self-control.
Dave Ramsey and God’s Word agree with being debt free. You can do it!!
Love your You Tube. I belong to the Circle but this morning I count open the app to join in the Monday morning. Help Rufina
Hi Diana! Thank you for this much needed message. I’ve been working on having a healthier relationship with money. I found that when I started paying a true 10% tithe that many of my bad money habits became easier to to avoid. I became more conscious of my spending.

Diana, have you listened to John Mark Comer's podcast (sermon) series on gratitude. Practicing The Way is his podcast. SO good.
Also love what you are saying here and also Bible Project too! ❤️
What about so many people who are homeless, hungry and have no money for their needs? There are more and more people having to live in their vehicle, if they have one, in both U.S. A. And Canada. Should not be.
Also in Australia in epidemic proportions. Truly heartbreaking to see.
I purchased a yearly planner from your website over a month ago. I received a confirmation email but nothing else. I have sent three emails inquiring about it with no response. Can you please give me some input when this purchase will be received.
An email is going out today! It will ship Dec 14th and arrive in 3-10 business days 🎉
A hard message to hear, I’m always in need of something and the money is gone…
Which Bible verse says most of God's rewards are SPIRITUAL?
Hi Elizabeth, it’s based on my study of things like blessings, rewards and gifts in the Old Testament vs the New Testament. When Jesus speaks about “like abundantly” for example, the implication is spiritual blessing like peace, joy and hope. But the promise remains the Lord will supply our needs for food and clothing as well!
@DianaKokku thank you Diana. I just don't want people to think God is only interested in our spiritual health. I'm into Biblical healing, and I encounter 99% of people who believe God will only help us with spiritual health but they think God wants us sick and broke until we get to heaven. It's very sad that people will only trust doctors to heal them because they think God even GAVE them the illness. God gets a bad rap lots of times.
It's nice but... cutting expenses is not going anywhere for everyone. Are we maintaining? How db we get out of this? You might be getting offerings at church and she's doing UA-cam.
You can not out give God money is tool
Yikes no!!!!
