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
Lol STARK Prairie in WY, but towns sound awesome. I agree with what you said, God's plan is not always clear but hold on to your faith, good things are coming, but it will challenge and test your faith and commitment. I love your attitude ❤️
Thank you for the update. When I had breast cancer 6 years ago I had a mantra I would say over and over (with God as my anchor all things are possible)! When I was diagnosed I felt a peace come over me and I just left everything in his hands! You are a positive, loving spirit. I know you and your husband will find your way! Stay in God’s love!
Lori, that is amazing! It puts something like this into perspective. Truly. I'm in awe of you, sister, and what you just shared inspires me so much. Thank you for the encouragement and know that you, too are a bright light in this world 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!
I love your story! It must be beyond gorgeous in the foothills. Also, it's always so refreshing to hear that there are still affordable homes out there, especially in the quiet, beautiful corners xx
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. ❤
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
I'm so inspired by your faith in our Lord! He is faithful in all our struggles. Your husband is blessed to have you and your abiding faith in our Savior! God bless and hold tightly to Him!! 💕🙏
Thank you for your testimony. I had not watched you in a while but felt drawn to watch today. You said so much I needed to hear. I have many hard things in my life right now but God has been with me. I know with God’s guidance you will make the right decisions.
Thank you so much for the kind words. My prayer for you is that you continue to feel God's peace and presence on you, and that his wonderful plan begins to illuminate your hard circumstances. Hang on, my sister! xx
Amen girl! Things are lining up!! Being in that remote Wyoming town is right up your alley, now if you could just move that to Arizona! 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
Amen, sister! Totally agree with everything you are saying. It's really been a fun experience to watch God show out time and time again in this situation, to see him guiding our steps. I'm starting to view this as one of those special times that just hems you closer to Him (despite my kicking and screaming at times haha) xx
You have an inspiring story of how God is always there even during our struggles. It builds our faith even though it’s hard. I needed this encouragement.
Kate, you are such a special person. Wishing you and the family the very best during this season of your lives. I hope that sharing with us increases your comfort and resilience.
Prescott is adorable and very historic. The Prescott Valley has grown exponentially. There is a Bluegrass Festival in Prescott every year that my cousin faithfully attends. It's nice that this job offers an actual future which is so important. Hope this Arizona interview goes well and that you will be given yet another option to choose from. Best of Luck!
Wow! So much can change in such a short time. Wyoming and Arizona are both beautiful places. I'm sure you & your Husband will know the correct path to take.
So, so fast! It's crazy. And thank you for the kind words. I have no doubt God is guiding our steps. It's been really cool to see that play out, from the smallest decisions to the biggest xx
In this video you are more relaxed and resolved that God is in control. I’m happy to see that! I can’t wait for you to get back from Arizona so we can hear how the trip was. 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
You are strong and will get through this! One day you’ll look back and know why this all happened. Keep staying positive! I can’t wait to see your next update! Prayers and thoughts are with you both!
Wow! I cannot wait to hear about your AZ trip and how you and your husband feel about this potential job offer and the area. My company transferred me to Phoenix for two years and I loved AZ! Made a couple of trips to Sedona and thought it was the prettiest place on earth. I am feeling very excited for you both!! Hope your interview goes well also, Kate! What an exciting time for you! God has a plan.
Thank you so much! And I agree with you: the Sedona area was beyond gorgeous. In my mind, I always pictured Arizona as being nothing but desert, but wow, to see the mountains and the Verde River was awesome. xx
Excited to hear the next chapter. At this point Wyoming vs Sedona sounds like a somewhat difficult choice because they both are great places, with beautiful outdoor potential. Can't go wrong with either one. The important thing is for you to be together and there for each other. Good luck on your interview. Look forward to the next update.
Yes! I love what you are saying, Nancy. I am so thankful that we have each other. There's no one else I'd rather be with in a circumstance like this! xx
You'll love Sedona and Prescott. The sticker shock on housing in Sedona would likely push you toward a home nearer Prescott but it's actually more cozy there.
Oh my gosh, yes! We had a housing boom that flipped our market into the stratosphere and Arizona seems to be in the same boat. At least, that section. Wow! If only we had a few million to burn haha xx
Of course it’s your decision about UA-cam, I hope you will continue. I enjoyed the addition of the Bible reference too. Maybe it’s worth considering to share other verses at the end of the video. So many people are struggling now and need God and encouragement. ( just an idea-not telling you what to do) ❤️🙏
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 I’ve leaned on this verse many times throughout my life. God always keeps his promises!
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.
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!!!!!

Go to Sedona on a weekend. Bumper to bumper traffic. Housing is expensive and scarce.
I believe it! Although the area is beyond beautiful xx

Amen to that, my friend!! Thank you xx
Have a safe trip and remember it doesn’t matter where you are as long as you’re together. Having a new area to explore can be exciting. God bless 🌻
Yes! So, so very true. I'm finally starting to feel that excitement and love what you are saying xx
Thank you for the update. When I had breast cancer 6 years ago I had a mantra I would say over and over (with God as my anchor all things are possible)! When I was diagnosed I felt a peace come over me and I just left everything in his hands!

Sedona is so beautiful. I loved living in Az. I hope you love it. Best wishes for whatever decision you make.
Thank you! xx
Good luck with whatever job your husband chooses. I hope that good things come your way with your job interview. I will continue to pray for you!
Thank you! We'll take all the prayers we can get! xx

Leave it all at his feet. He’ll open and close the doors. He is faithful!
So, so true! It's been awesome to see His faithfulness play out through all of this xx
Kate, you are such a special person. Wishing you and the family the very best during this season of your lives. I hope that sharing with us increases your comfort and resilience.
Thank you, my friend! That means a lot to me xx
I am happy for you both. I am glad you are at peace & letting God set out His plan for you. 🙏

Amen, sister! Amen! Thank you xx
Thanks for keeping us updated. It’s great to hear about your journey. I look forward to the next update. Wonderful words of wisdom!
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words xx
Wow, your attitude about what has been going on in your life recently is inspiring.
Thank you for the kind words! I am forever thankful for the peace and joy that God has put on my heart and this house. It's been amazing xx
Amen! Can't wait to hear what God does! Thank you so much for sharing this. Continue to stay close to God and claim His promises😊
Thank you, my friend! I surely will xx
@@KateBenz you're welcome!
