    Can’t wait to hear about the AZ trip. We built our dream home= 8 acres, 2 horses on property, a great church, a fabulous missions related job….. and loved for 5 yrs then we had to move north……we had to let go our dream home but God provide so much more then we expected……He has your back!!!!!

      Your dream home sounds amazing! And I'm sure it was beyond hard to leave, which makes your story even more inspiring. Just to know that God proved his faithfulness to you and kept true to his promises, too. Thank you for sharing! xx

    So I opened up UA-cam today with the intent of watching another haul video, but your video popped up in my feed and I clicked right away having no context as to what has been going on with you - I've just always loved any your content! I just want to say THANK YOU for using this platform and the influence that comes with it to point your subscribers to the Lord. I'm encouraged by the way you've shared the way the Lord has been faithfully orchestrating y'all's story. Our faith is built strong and secure when we replay the stories of God's faithfulness - not just to ourselves, but also in sharing those stories of His faithfulness with others. It's obvious this uncertain period of job loss and restlessness has not only grown your relationship with Him, but also with your husband. Additionally, the Lord has given you a creative eye for beauty and order that manifests itself in a discerning eye for beautiful outfits. I wonder how He'll use those talents and creativity to serve Him? A potential styling gig sounds so exciting!!!!!!!!!! I know so many women would be served by your expertise. I am praying for you right now - that your interview will go well, and that you'll have clarity and direction as to whether or not the Lord has this for you!

      Thank you so much! I love what you are saying, and I find a lot of encouragement in the stories that you all share with me as well. It definitely reinforces my faith that God works everything out for our good... may not always be easy or seem fair, but in the end, his plan is better than anything we can ever imagine. In saying that, it makes me in awe of people who experience serious trauma: loss of a loved one, terminal illness... and how they are able to hold on to the hope of God's promises. Thank you for the kind words! xx

    I really like seeing you this way even though i did enjoy the clothing hauls. I moved from Los Angeles 2 years ago to a small mountain community at the Sierra Nevada foothills. Such a wonderful change & i will never go back! Blessed to have a great job (with significant paycut) and find a beautiful and affordable home to rent. My dogs, adult sons and val6es perfectly aligned!

    • @KateBenz

    Kate: I have enjoyed watching your recent videos. I can see and feel that you are figuring out what is important and truly matters in life. I don’t know how people do life without God. I have a lot of growing myself to do with him but I have been a believer for years.
    We live in such a world that pushing to make more money and greed is so prominent. People get so caught up in all the things that they forget to sit back and think about what is truly important. I have no doubt that God will place you and your husband where you are meant to be. I see much happiness and great memories in your future. Looking forward to hearing future updates on where you are lead. ❤

    • @KateBenz
      @KateBenz  5 місяців тому +1

      You are so right. The irony is that the more we "get," whether that be money, status, whatever, the emptier we seem to feel. It's palpable in today's world. The lure of the "shiny new" is always tempting, but often so vapid. Fleeting, too. And I agree: I have zero clue how people do life without God. I would be a mess. Thank you for all the prayers and for the encouraging words and know that your desire to grow in God brings Him such joy and delight. Keep hanging on and accept His grace, too! xx

God has got you right in the palm of His hand, and He's creating the way for what He's meant for you all along. Hold on, buckle up and enjoy the ride He's taking you on.... working on Bryans heart may be His plan ❤ and what better way to do that than to bring Bryan to the trenches, show him how much He loves him and to bring him out? There's always a reason for God's way ❤❤ xoxo

I’m excited you’ll be styling again! You probably can’t say who you’ll be working for. I have to wonder if it’s Front Door Fashion. You only get a box if you request one.

      Thank you, my friend! It's funny: I used to think the "pouring out the blessings" in Malachi 3:10 only referred to money. Right? Like, yay! Raining dollars from heaven! Now I know that it also means things like: the blessing of peace, the blessing of faith, the blessing of joy despite circumstances... it keeps me happy (while waiting for the money tree to grow haha) xx

    As a first time watcher, I would suggest you refer to your husband by his name so you don't have to say "my husband" every time. It will make your followers feel closer to you guys. Just a thought. I do watch several other UA-camr's that are married and the women always refer to their husband's by their first names. Of course that has to be comfortable for you.
