Kristen, I saw you decorating and heard your dismay feeling full of self-doubt, not feeling good enough. Comparing yourself to other home tours. Your home has a story, Emmanuel! I love your eye for design, your appreciation for the past, and your hope for the future. Thank you for not giving up and giving to us all through your words and deeds. I live in South Dakota and love the prairie. I loved your title "Christmas on the Prairie"! This is the first time I have ever commented on a video, but felt it was important for me to affirm your mission. Thank you.
Amen Ribons & Bows Just Like a Present 🎁 GOD Truly Knows Its what is Inside The Home of the ❤️ *It Is HIS LOVE It Is HIS PRESENCE* Amen ❤️ PRAISE Be To GOD 👑
I love your humbleness and honesty...rare qualities these days. You prove that one can create a inviting and gracious home on a tight budget. Please start believing in the talent you have in decorating. Keep praying.
This brought tears to my eyes- the story as well as your Christmas home. Your home reflects your Godly values. I have so much respect for you honoring the financial boundary that God provided. And, His blessings are abundant.
I love how you share your faith in God. It is a blessing to hear you speak and share scripture and faith in a world that so needs Jesus. God bless you and your family 🙏 and your new home🏡
Your Christmas decorating is very nostalgic. It was like a museum of Christmas memories. Love your style! Thank you for sharing your home and your inspirational words.
Of all the home tours I’ve watched this Christmas season THIS was my favorite! 🎄 Beautiful home, beautiful spirit, Christ-centered Christmas…a joy to watch. Thank you! ♥️
Your home will be all the more meaningful today and in the future because you have seen the providence of God in allowing your family to have this home. Your home will always be a testimony to the love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ, a daily reminder. Merry Christmas and blessings to your family as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.
The Christmases of years past, the Christmases you remember, and the Christmas you have so painstakingly created for your family can be summed up in one word - Timeless. 🌿♥️🌱
This. Was. PERFECT. Thank you for telling your story so eloquently and giving all praise to Him to whom all praise is due. God bless you as you bless others. Merry CHRISTmas!
If I could give an award for the BEST VIDEO EVER ON UA-cam it would go to you! I love everything about this home and more importantly how you give God credit for how He blessed your little family with this provision. God bless you all! Thank you sooo much for sharing! I’m saving this to watch over and over and over again.
In a world so broken and so in need of God I truly thank you for what you said at the beginning of your vlog. We need more youtuber's like you. Your home is decorated beautifully for Christmas. So enjoyed it. ❤️🤗👍
I truly hope every night you lay your head down you are thanking Your Heavenly Father for all the Good in your life. Make sure to thank Him for the struggles also, for he is making you a stronger momma, perseverant wife and loving human to all around you. Merry Christmas to all who reading this. A Savior has been born !
Your home is beautiful and so cozy! It brings back childhood memories of cozy and warm family Christmases. You don't see homes decorated like this much anymore and its a shame! This is how more homes should look and feel! It's inviting and timeless; not cold and sterile. You can feel the memories being made through the computer screen. You are very talented. I loved everything especially the nostalgia!
The most amazing, magical, cozy home tour I've watched yet!!! Kristen, you have talent and lots of love for your beautiful family! Merry Christmas! Be blessed!💝🙏
Kristen, what an amazing testimony. Praise God! You are a voice for the Lord. Seek His face. Women need to hear this. Ask the Lord to do a work in you so that you can do a work in others for Jesus. I am praying for you!!
Hi, Kristen. What a testimony. Thank you for sharing that God is truly with us... Not just in the easy times in our lives, but also in the really hard times when we don't want to take the next step but want to give up, give in and quit. The Lord remains faithful!! I still want you to do some writing. This testimony could be the help that so many people need to read and be reminded of. Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit 's nugging and letting your light shine. Greetings from Oklahoma. Jane Greene PS. Your house is beautiful!
Kristen, I remember when you were staying with your relatives, waiting for your house, I felt so bad for you. I don't like change either, but God knows our heart's and I truly think you didn't get the other house because the one you have now was meant for you and your beautiful family. Your opening to the video was so beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for all your hard work you always pull thing's together and that's why we viewer's love you so much!
Oh my. I can't stop admiring the woodwork & the metalwork. Please don't ever change it. It seems made by a different Era, where people took pride in their work & mastered a skill set. My fav is the soaking tub & all the elements of mission, Shaker, & Arts & Crafts throughout the house. You are rich indeed!
You have an artist's eye for color, shape, and proportion. It is another gift to thank our dear lord for. Your home is obviously full of love. Beautiful!
I love your story of how the Lord blessed you with this home! It’s beautiful and what a gorgeous job you did decorating for Christmas. Love, Becky in Oregon
I've learned through the years that God gives us what we need, even though it may not be what we thought we needed. You kept the faith and He came through, as always. Your home looks lovely and your little one toddling around is adorable.
Kristen, there's not a single inch of your home I don't love, and you've decorated it beautifully for Christmas. You have such a beautiful heart and sincerity that shines through all of your videos, and I joyfully anticipate each one. May you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas! ❤️
Your home is lovely and inspiring...but your honesty is the real attraction. Thanking the Lord for all His mercies no matter what we have or where we go because we have Him, Immanuel"God with us". I have known this personally while going through my husband's recent heart attack and cancer journey. He,the Lord, is with us not matter what season in life we find ourselves. God be with you and your very sweet little family! My three little girls have all grown up and become women with their own homes! How I miss those days with them all home pattering around and getting into everything! I do not forget the challenges of that season as well! as my grandson kindly reminds me when he is here for the day!~xoxox
I have watched you awhile; but your home now truly has said to me Psalms37:4”He wants to give us the desires of our heart”! I’ve never seen things in thrift stores like this;so lovely to watch. Merry Christmas Kristin
Thank you for sharing Christmas at your home, you have made it absolutely lovely. But the best and sweetest thing about you, is that you share the love of Jesus. Have a joyous Christmas❤
What a refreshing way to share your home and your faithful story! You made it all about the meaningfulness of the season & not just focused on decor! Just love the way you make your house a home!!! Just beautiful! This has been so uplifting!!!!❤️🙌🏼🙏🏼
Your home is exactly what a home should feel like. Cozy, welcoming, peaceful. My mother always told me it is so easy to have faith when everything is going well. When we have health, food, shelter, friends, family a job its all good. But faith is when things are not going well, when we feel deprived or unheard or anxious for things... thats when faith is the most needed. I feel you have learned this through the past year. And like all of us... these are the times we must remember when things go bad. That he is always with us... and will see us through troubled times. Just believe.
Your home is absolutely inviting and cozy! I sense such peace, joy and love there. I love the timeless, gentle Christmassy touches you’ve added to every room. Watching your video, I wanted to somehow go through the screen and emerge in your beautiful home. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Emanuel and the true heart of this season! You’ve had such turmoil and have worked so hard this past year; I pray you’ll have wonderful, cozy and memorable time with your husband, sweet girls m, your extended family and adorable Buddy!
I absolutely loved this video. Came home somewhat exhausted and sorta sad. I clicked on the video to see the tour but was reminded that God is with me. Thank you for the tour but thanks more for the message.
Kristen, this is my favorite Christmas video and I have watched many, I love that you shared your story for this beautiful home, but, what I love the most is that you proclaimed the LOVE of our precious Savior JESUS CHRIST. I also love how you decorated it for Christmas. Thank you for sharing and for your proclamation… Merry Christmas 🙏🎄❤️
It is all so beautiful, warm, cozy, and filled with things your children will remember forever! Thank you for honoring Jesus in your home, with your words, and on your channel! What a blessing you are!
Kristin, you nailed it. Christ is the reason for this season. Your faith does become stronger through different trials. Like you said, Jesus didn't live this way and we shouldn't expect so either. It's hard, trust me, I know that it's hard, but we are praising His Holy and precious Name when He brings us to the other side! Your home is beautiful as always. Plus, your little girl is a precious little angel. God bless and Merry Christmas!
Kristen, so beautifully done! You have such a creative eye for decorating. And thank you for telling us your story and for the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The King of Peace, Jesus, is all we need. God bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Just beautiful. When we stop to look at His blessings we are truly humbled and comforted.
Your home needs to be in a magazine! Warm, inviting, cozy, nostalgic, peaceful...... I love the red throughout (I have to have red for Christmas!) The greenery is gorgeous, too. What a huge amount of work. You have such an eye for decorating! And the baby is adorable!!!
Your video has helped me get into the spirit of Christmas. For some reason this year has been a challenge. I love the cozy warm feeling of your beautiful home. God knew this home needed you and your family; to create a loving atmosphere filled with the presence of Jesus. As I have stated before, you are the most genuine, authentic, honest person. I believe this is why I always look forward to your videos!! Thank you for sharing your heart and home!!
Thank you for sharing the struggle a Christian life can be. But, the joy of surrender to His will surpasses anything we could ever imagine. God bless your family in this marvelous season of faith.
A surprise video! I enjoyed the retelling of the house story and remembering your journey with you. I am proud of you for using your channel to get the true message of Christmas out there :)
The feelings I get when I watched this were Peace, Joy, Love, Faith and Family! I am 55 years old and this brought me back to my childhood going to my grandparents home with all my cousins! This is by far my favorite most authentic Christmas Tour Ive watched! I loved it! Thank you Kristen !
Just beautiful....you've done a wonderful job creating a home for your family. I am very touched by how God is such a big part of everything you do. Yes, our goal is to glorify HIM all the days of our lives here with our words and actions. Thank you for the reminder and for allowing us into your beautiful home. You are a blessing
Kristen, you are a treasure! Your house is very beautiful! I started watching after you found this house and hadn't moved in yet, so I had not heard this story. I love how you give God glory. We sold our house last summer and couldn't find another one. I am 70 and my husband is 73. We are currently living with our daughter while we wait for our brand new house to be built. Obviously, this is our last home and although we are so anxious to get into it next summer some time, we are so excited! God is so good. Thank you for your beautiful vlog and the peaceful music. I will probably go back and watch again. It was such a blessing!
Your sweet home is magical this Christmas! Praying you and your precious family make many wonderful memories all through the years in this lovely, cozy and warm home you have created! God is so good!!!❤🎄💚🙏🏻
You made your home a reflection of a heart full of grace and love for the Lord Jesus and your family. How beautiful your home looks, warm and inviting for the Christmas season, great job Kristen! Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your story of your waiting on the Lord for his will & blessing of your home! Emmanuel, God with us. And He is! ❤💚
Thank you Kristen for your wonderful message, your home is lovely, warm and cozy, just what a home should be! Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤️🙏🏻👍
U have a beautiful home. Nothing wrong w anything in your house. Giving God the Glory is the best part of video. I could feel the presence of God while u talked. Always put him 1st. So many people don't. U are blessed
What a beautiful story of our Lord's faithfulness. We as a family have been on a faith journey the last couple of years. About 2 years ago the Holy Spirit told me that we would be moving from AZ to VA, to where my side of the family lives. Eventhough my husband is a great man of God, he was resistant to this big life changing event.....but through prayer, many confirmations from the Lord, wise counsel, etc, his heart was changed and we were all on board with God's plan. Then we had to wait for God's timing. In Septmeber my husband was laid off due to the economy. We knew immediately that God was tell us to GO. So here we are, 2 months later, to the day, living in the beautiful state of VA. While this is not how we viewed our new adventure starting off, we know that it could not have gone more perfectly. God's plan is always perfect. Living here, in the middle of the forest, near family is better than we could have ever hoped or imagined. Currently, my husband is still looking for work and at times I wonder what in the world the Lord is doing, but I am reminded of the His faithfulness and that He sees us. Nothing is a surprise to Him. All that to say, thank you for your transparency and sharing the love and light of our Lord. As always, your home looks lovely! Blessings to you! Merry Christmas! Rachel
Absolutely 🙏🙏🙏 watching you is such a breath of fresh air. So many today focus on value in THINGS when so much more is worth our attention. #1Our lord and savior jesus christ the one and only. Thank you sister. 🙏🙏🙏
It is always so great to see people sharing their Christian faith. We all struggle and doubt at times. God know what is best for us. We must just wait on Him and for Him. May you and your family have a very blessed Christmas.✝️🕊🎄☃️⛄️🌨
I LOVED everything about this! Your story throughout and sharing gods word with us. I relate to the feeling of nostalgia from christmases I never experienced too. Your home is so beautiful. This was such a comforting feeling this Christmas tour gave me. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
When I was 16 a neighbor,who I babysat for during my high school years, gave me a book. Beautiful Homemaking. I have it still and it was my ambition then and now to make our house a Christian home where I could raise our children and teach them about Gods love. Our son became a Pastor, our daughter, a Christian Artist and now I have 5 wonderful grandchildren. Love your humility, your style. Your beauty shines bright. You chose well.
Kristen, your family’s home is so lovely. It has a very nostalgic look and a peacefulness to it. Merry Christmas to you and your husband and your Kiddos!🎄🎅🏻
Even the pup got a Christmas makeover 😆 Thank you for sharing your home with us! If you haven't seen it already, the new sequel to A Christmas Story that was just released is definitely worth watching. God bless you and your family this Christmas season!
Oh Kristen, this was beautiful. Your words of faith and encouragement mean so much. And I am in awe at what you have created in your home. The Lord has truly given you a gift of creating a warm and welcoming environment to be used in His service. Thank you for sharing your life with us, both the highs and the lows. You are real, and that is exactly what we appreciate about you. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas! 🎀📯🎀
As a new viewer I went and watched this today and it’s so beautiful, peaceful and I feel God as I watched this. Thank you for sharing your Christian values.
WOW!!! What a moving testimony you shared in this video. Your home is magazine worthy! I really enjoyed this video. I pray God richly blesses you and your family. 🙏❤️🙏
I love this video. Not only is the house perfect, but she is talking about what God does as a Christian and the Holy Spirit working, providing for the needs of her family. Whoever decorated this place should be an interior designer, absolute perfection. Subscribed !!!
I appreciate you sharing the spiritual part of your home so much. The Lord is in every detail of our life and there's so much more than just the decorating aspect of a home. Thank you for your transparency and boldness in today's world.
Wow.. as soon as you said "Why did we go through all these months of preparation" and things not happen.. I felt that! A couple of months ago, God told me this is my preparation season now for something He wants to give me later..and I believe I know the year of this gift. All the preparation is simple- will you obey? All God wants is YES!!! We have to be obedient and then He will let us see Him move the mountain as if it were a mere anthill that was just begun... He is SO GOOD!!!
What a beautiful Christmas home, Kristen! It looks wonderful and so cozy. You did a great job. Love all the touches of Christmas. You’re an inspiration to anyone who finds your channel. Thanks for sharing your testimony and I wish you a very Merry Christmas! God bless!!!
Amen! Please continue sharing scripture in all your videos- you are truly a blessing to all of us!! Sometimes seemingly unanswered prayers, turn out to make us learn so much ! It’s hard - it’s devastating! With God all things are possible in his time! That’s so hard to comprehend ! Once we grasp how truly wonderful things can turn out- we then know how blessed we are and God is so good!!!! Thanks for the best video so far!!!! You are honest, and genuine, and it is so evident! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your home is just grand!!
Amen! Jesus, the true meaning of the season. Your house is beautiful Kristen. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Many blessings in the New Year. Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh my goodness listening to you I am in joyful tears ,the Lord is concerned with every part of our lives and knows what is ahead of us if we will trust and follow Him. He has proven Himself over and over in my life. Just this past week, my son 38 years old on the streets of Tacoma Washington living in the drug world of our city for three years said yes to going to a Christian drug rehab in South Carolina , never would he have done this without the Lords intervention . I cannot tell you how loved we feel at this glorious answer to prayer! Merry Christmas to your beautiful family and thank you for sharing Christ to your audience , without Him there is no hope!
@@KristenHoffman thank you Kristin , I know so many in this city whose families are going through the same thing! The Lord is our only hope for them and this world!❤️
What a beautiful home!! It is full of craftsmanship & character. I love the woodworking, the trim, and the windows. They're not made like this anymore. The stained glass is beautiful! You are blessed indeed!!!
Thank you for this beautiful Christmas home tour, Kristen! Such a work of art from your home decor, videography, music selections, editing and narration. ❤ Merry Christmas!
God bless you all, your home and your decorating is beautiful, evidently God had something better in store for you than the other house..... Thank you for acknowledging our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...
How you were able to pull all of this beauty together in one year I cannot comprehend! And all on a budget! I’ve been living in the same house for 25 years and I still can’t do that! I’ve said before how much I love all of your vintage art prints. I would love it if you could do a video and give us closeups of your prints. Maybe tell us a little bit about them or where you acquired them. So thankful that God blessed you with this beautiful home and that in your extreme discouragement and disappointment you pushed on and we’re able to land exactly where God wanted you to be!❤️
Your home is absolutely gorgeous!!! Your style is just amazing. What makes this house a home is your love for the Lord. In good times and bad, he is with us. He is my eternal joy. Your daughter is adorable! She looks like a little doll! Now is the time to sit back and relax! You deserve it!! God bless.
Kristen, I saw you decorating and heard your dismay feeling full of self-doubt, not feeling good enough. Comparing yourself to other home tours. Your home has a story, Emmanuel! I love your eye for design, your appreciation for the past, and your hope for the future. Thank you for not giving up and giving to us all through your words and deeds. I live in South Dakota and love the prairie. I loved your title "Christmas on the Prairie"! This is the first time I have ever commented on a video, but felt it was important for me to affirm your mission. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your support! Making this video has been a journey.
Amen Ribons & Bows Just Like a Present 🎁 GOD Truly Knows Its what is Inside The Home of the ❤️ *It Is HIS LOVE It Is HIS PRESENCE* Amen

Thank you for the tour of your precious family home, and your glad tidings. I was truly inspired by you sharing the Word with us.
I'm so glad!
God works in mysterious ways and he knew you were destined for the treasures he has laid out for you. Patience and faith in the Lord ❤️

You have NO idea how much I needed to hear this story today.
Your home is absolutely inviting and cozy! I sense such peace, joy and love there. I love the timeless, gentle Christmassy touches you’ve added to every room. Watching your video, I wanted to somehow go through the screen and emerge in your beautiful home. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Emanuel and the true heart of this season!

I absolutely loved this video. Came home somewhat exhausted and sorta sad. I clicked on the video to see the tour but was reminded that God is with me. Thank you for the tour but thanks more for the message.
Kristen, this is my favorite Christmas video and I have watched many, I love that you shared your story for this beautiful home, but, what I love the most is that you proclaimed the LOVE of our precious Savior JESUS CHRIST. I also love how you decorated it for Christmas. Thank you for sharing and for your proclamation… Merry Christmas 🙏🎄❤️
The real meaning of Christmas is that He is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. MERRY CHRISTMAS! The King is coming !
It is all so beautiful, warm, cozy, and filled with things your children will remember forever! Thank you for honoring Jesus in your home, with your words, and on your channel! What a blessing you are!
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Stephanie!
Kristin, you nailed it. Christ is the reason for this season. Your faith does become stronger through different trials. Like you said, Jesus didn't live this way and we shouldn't expect so either. It's hard, trust me, I know that it's hard, but we are praising His Holy and precious Name when He brings us to the other side! Your home is beautiful as always.

Kristen, so beautifully done! You have such a creative eye for decorating. And thank you for telling us your story and for the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Tammy!
Grateful for your witness & giving glory to Jesus with you. Merriest Christmas Season!
Your story, Christmas message and your home are both TRUE AND BEAUTIFUL. God bless your family and home ❤️
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Phylis!
Your home is beautiful, but your testimony was more beautiful! God is always faithful!
Kristen, you can tell your home is filled with so much love. Merry Christmas you to and your beautiful family! 🎄
Thank you! You too!
The King of Peace, Jesus, is all we need. God bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Just beautiful. When we stop to look at His blessings we are truly humbled and comforted.
Hi Kristen. Thank you for sharing Jesus with us, and your home is beautiful🙏❤
Your home needs to be in a magazine! Warm, inviting, cozy, nostalgic, peaceful...... I love the red throughout (I have to have red for Christmas!) The greenery is gorgeous, too. What a huge amount of work. You have such an eye for decorating! And the baby is adorable!!!
Probably one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen.
God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Laura!
Praise God! Yes, Emanuel, Yahweh!🙌 Beautiful.💖
Your video has helped me get into the spirit of Christmas. For some reason this year has been a challenge. I love the cozy warm feeling of your beautiful home. God knew this home needed you and your family; to create a loving atmosphere filled with the presence of Jesus. As I have stated before, you are the most genuine, authentic, honest person. I believe this is why I always look forward to your videos!! Thank you for sharing your heart and home!!
Thank you for sharing the struggle a Christian life can be. But, the joy of surrender to His will surpasses anything we could ever imagine. God bless your family in this marvelous season of faith.
A surprise video! I enjoyed the retelling of the house story and remembering your journey with you. I am proud of you for using your channel to get the true message of Christmas out there :)
I'm doing my best over here! Haha!
Your best is all God wants and you are gracious enough to share that with us-BLESS her on repeat please Lord 🙌🙏
The feelings I get when I watched this were Peace, Joy, Love, Faith and Family! I am 55 years old and this brought me back to my childhood going to my grandparents home with all my cousins! This is by far my favorite most authentic Christmas Tour Ive watched! I loved it! Thank you Kristen !
Thank you!
Just beautiful....you've done a wonderful job creating a home for your family. I am very touched by how God is such a big part of everything you do. Yes, our goal is to glorify HIM all the days of our lives here with our words and actions. Thank you for the reminder and for allowing us into your beautiful home. You are a blessing
Kristen, you are a treasure! Your house is very beautiful! I started watching after you found this house and hadn't moved in yet, so I had not heard this story. I love how you give God glory. We sold our house last summer and couldn't find another one. I am 70 and my husband is 73. We are currently living with our daughter while we wait for our brand new house to be built. Obviously, this is our last home and although we are so anxious to get into it next summer some time, we are so excited! God is so good. Thank you for your beautiful vlog and the peaceful music. I will probably go back and watch again. It was such a blessing!
Your sweet home is magical this Christmas! Praying you and your precious family make many wonderful memories all through the years in this lovely, cozy and warm home you have created! God is so good!!!❤🎄💚🙏🏻
I know this was last year's Christmas but I just wanted to let you know that your story inspired me so much.
Y'all have a beautiful home❤
Happy holidays!
Absolutely beautiful! Your home and your testimony. God is amazing! 🎄❤️
This made me cry. Tears for Christmas past, family members gone and continued hope in Jesus. You are a blessing and a light. 🕯️🎄🙏❤️💚❤️
You made your home a reflection of a heart full of grace and love for the Lord Jesus and your family. How beautiful your home looks, warm and inviting for the Christmas season, great job Kristen! Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your story of your waiting on the Lord for his will & blessing of your home! Emmanuel, God with us. And He is! ❤💚
Thank you so much!
Another beautiful testimony of who God is and our deeper lives in Him.
Thank you Kristen for your wonderful message, your home is lovely, warm and cozy, just what a home should be! Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤️🙏🏻👍
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Libby!
U have a beautiful home. Nothing wrong w anything in your house. Giving God the Glory is the best part of video. I could feel the presence of God while u talked. Always put him 1st. So many people don't. U are blessed
Breathtaking. Your words, your sweet heart, and your home. Thank you for sharing it with us.
What a beautiful story of our Lord's faithfulness. We as a family have been on a faith journey the last couple of years. About 2 years ago the Holy Spirit told me that we would be moving from AZ to VA, to where my side of the family lives. Eventhough my husband is a great man of God, he was resistant to this big life changing event.....but through prayer, many confirmations from the Lord, wise counsel, etc, his heart was changed and we were all on board with God's plan. Then we had to wait for God's timing. In Septmeber my husband was laid off due to the economy. We knew immediately that God was tell us to GO. So here we are, 2 months later, to the day, living in the beautiful state of VA. While this is not how we viewed our new adventure starting off, we know that it could not have gone more perfectly. God's plan is always perfect. Living here, in the middle of the forest, near family is better than we could have ever hoped or imagined. Currently, my husband is still looking for work and at times I wonder what in the world the Lord is doing, but I am reminded of the His faithfulness and that He sees us. Nothing is a surprise to Him. All that to say, thank you for your transparency and sharing the love and light of our Lord. As always, your home looks lovely! Blessings to you! Merry Christmas! Rachel
Absolutely 🙏🙏🙏 watching you is such a breath of fresh air. So many today focus on value in THINGS when so much more is worth our attention. #1Our lord and savior jesus christ the one and only. Thank you sister. 🙏🙏🙏
It is always so great to see people sharing their Christian faith. We all struggle and doubt at times. God know what is best for us. We must just wait on Him and for Him. May you and your family have a very blessed Christmas.✝️🕊🎄☃️⛄️🌨
I LOVED everything about this! Your story throughout and sharing gods word with us. I relate to the feeling of nostalgia from christmases I never experienced too. Your home is so beautiful. This was such a comforting feeling this Christmas tour gave me. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Amanda!
When I was 16 a neighbor,who I babysat for during my high school years, gave me a book. Beautiful Homemaking. I have it still and it was my ambition then and now to make our house a Christian home where I could raise our children and teach them about Gods love. Our son became a Pastor, our daughter, a Christian Artist and now I have 5 wonderful grandchildren. Love your humility, your style. Your beauty shines bright. You chose well.
Your home is such a blessing to all of us. Thank you for inviting us in. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Jackie!
Beautifully said. Thank you for your bold faith in Jesus. Our world needs this now more than ever.
Kristen, your family’s home is so lovely. It has a very nostalgic look and a peacefulness to it.
Merry Christmas to you and your husband and your Kiddos!🎄🎅🏻
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Judy!
Even the pup got a Christmas makeover 😆
Thank you for sharing your home with us! If you haven't seen it already, the new sequel to A Christmas Story that was just released is definitely worth watching.
God bless you and your family this Christmas season!
A wonderful testimony of how God leads and blesses even in the midst of our confusion- He is always there!✝️
Oh Kristen, this was beautiful. Your words of faith and encouragement mean so much. And I am in awe at what you have created in your home. The Lord has truly given you a gift of creating a warm and welcoming environment to be used in His service. Thank you for sharing your life with us, both the highs and the lows. You are real, and that is exactly what we appreciate about you. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas! 🎀📯🎀
Thank you for appreciating that! I am really just a regular person over here with plenty of highs and lows.
As a new viewer I went and watched this today and it’s so beautiful, peaceful and I feel God as I watched this. Thank you for sharing your Christian values.
WOW!!! What a moving testimony you shared in this video. Your home is magazine worthy! I really enjoyed this video. I pray God richly blesses you and your family. 🙏❤️🙏
I love this video. Not only is the house perfect, but she is talking about what God does as a Christian and the Holy Spirit working, providing for the needs of her family. Whoever decorated this place should be an interior designer, absolute perfection. Subscribed !!!
Aww, thank you!
Your did such a great job decorating your home! May God bless your family.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
I appreciate you sharing the spiritual part of your home so much. The Lord is in every detail of our life and there's so much more than just the decorating aspect of a home.
Thank you for your transparency and boldness in today's world.
What a beautiful testimony 🙏 Your home reflects your words. God's blessings over you and your family and your cozy home...love the dog!!!
Wow.. as soon as you said "Why did we go through all these months of preparation" and things not happen.. I felt that! A couple of months ago, God told me this is my preparation season now for something He wants to give me later..and I believe I know the year of this gift. All the preparation is simple- will you obey? All God wants is YES!!! We have to be obedient and then He will let us see Him move the mountain as if it were a mere anthill that was just begun... He is SO GOOD!!!
He really works in mysterious ways!
What a beautiful Christmas home, Kristen! It looks wonderful and so cozy. You did a great job. Love all the touches of Christmas. You’re an inspiration to anyone who finds your channel. Thanks for sharing your testimony and I wish you a very Merry Christmas! God bless!!!
Amen!
Please continue sharing scripture in all your videos- you are truly a blessing to all of us!!
Sometimes seemingly unanswered prayers, turn out to make us learn so much ! It’s hard - it’s devastating! With God all things are possible in his time! That’s so hard to comprehend ! Once we grasp how truly wonderful things can turn out- we then know how blessed we are and God is so good!!!!
Thanks for the best video so far!!!! You are honest, and genuine, and it is so evident!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your home is just grand!!
Amen! Jesus, the true meaning of the season. Your house is beautiful Kristen. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Many blessings in the New Year. Thank you for sharing with us.
Why do we ever doubt that God is doing what is best for us? Your home is just perfect for your family! Bless you!
Yes! Thank you!
What a cozy joyful loving home you have created for your family!🎄sending Christmas hope and wishes, God bless you all!🎄❤️😊
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Oh my goodness listening to you I am in joyful tears ,the Lord is concerned with every part of our lives and knows what is ahead of us if we will trust and follow Him. He has proven Himself over and over in my life. Just this past week, my son 38 years old on the streets of Tacoma Washington living in the drug world of our city for three years said yes to going to a Christian drug rehab in South Carolina , never would he have done this without the Lords intervention . I cannot tell you how loved we feel at this glorious answer to prayer! Merry Christmas to your beautiful family and thank you for sharing Christ to your audience
, without Him there is no hope!
Merry Christmas! My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
@@KristenHoffman thank you Kristin , I know so many in this city whose families are going through the same thing! The Lord is our only hope for them and this world!❤️
Excellent story and decorations! The Christmas meaning exists!!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Ann!
Sweet, sweet message while we enjoy your beautiful house! Jesus is Lord!
Your house looks beautiful and your story and faith is such an inspiration. God bless and have a Merry Christmas!🎄❤️
What a beautiful home!! It is full of craftsmanship & character. I love the woodworking, the trim, and the windows. They're not made like this anymore. The stained glass is beautiful! You are blessed indeed!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this beautiful Christmas home tour, Kristen! Such a work of art from your home decor, videography, music selections, editing and narration. ❤ Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas, Melinda!
God bless you all, your home and your decorating is beautiful, evidently God had something better in store for you than the other house..... Thank you for acknowledging our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...
Thank you so much!
How you were able to pull all of this beauty together in one year I cannot comprehend! And all on a budget! I’ve been living in the same house for 25 years and I still can’t do that! I’ve said before how much I love all of your vintage art prints. I would love it if you could do a video and give us closeups of your prints. Maybe tell us a little bit about them or where you acquired them.
So thankful that God blessed you with this beautiful home and that in your extreme discouragement and disappointment you pushed on and we’re able to land exactly where God wanted you to be!❤️
Exactly! We are so thankful.
Your home is absolutely gorgeous!!! Your style is just amazing. What makes this house a home is your love for the Lord. In good times and bad, he is with us. He is my eternal joy. Your daughter is adorable! She looks like a little doll! Now is the time to sit back and relax! You deserve it!! God bless.
Thank you! You too!
Your home is beautifully decorated.
Wow, thank you!
And your story is inspiring.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home, but much more, your love for God. Only He can bring us through this journey with peace and joy.
Lovely Christmas home. God is good. Christmas blessings.
