I recognized that social media was becoming an idol for me, it was distracting me from having a better relationship with God and improving my talents. Thank you so much for making this video, it really encouarges me to detox from all toxic news and distractions. Love and blessings from México ❤🇲🇽
I deleted all of my social media 4 years ago and now only have UA-cam and Pinterest. I was always on it, comparing to other people, etc. I love it so much. I’m so much more present and have been growing my relationship with God. Nothing positive ever came from social media for me. Best decision I’ve ever made. ! 💗
recently i deleted most of my social media and i have seen such a difference in my life. i’m connecting with people more then i ever had and doing things i love that uplift me instead of comparing myself to someone on instagram. my advice to anyone who wants to delete social media but is too scared is just to do it and i promise you’ll be so happy you did!
I realized my phone is such an idol to me. When I thought about Jesus coming back and reading Matthew 6:19-20, I realized my phone is my treasure here on earth, it's one of the most valuable things that I own (in terms of money AND the emotional value that I attach to it), it made me wonder if I could ever let go of it. This video was so perfectly timed and made me open my eyes to this idolatry in my life, I thank the Lord for you, much love
You and Taylor are an inspiration to women everywhere. I recently deleted my social media accounts, because I was using it to seek validation. Plus the pointless scrolling and comparing myself to others was not useful. Overall I feel great.
I’ve done this phone detox several times. I’ll admit, it was really because I was spending way too much time on it and my parents gave me a forced weeklong technology detox. I did get withdrawals, but I noticed how free I felt. I noticed how much more time I had to write, to draw and just focus on God. I will definitely do it again!
I’ve set timers on my apps that I’m drawn to the most & purposefully set my Bible app as unlimited ! It has helped me , definitely want to try turning my phone off completely at least on the weekends for sure ❤️
I don’t think I’m ready to take the full leap haha. But I decided to delete Facebook and Instagram off of my phone after Christmas. It was only supposed to be until this Friday ironically. I did this because I finish my bachelors of science tomorrow 🥰 and I intended to boost focus on God and my last few classes. but honestly I think I will leave them off of my phone ☺️
I’ve been feeling like my phone is becoming an idol. I think God has been showing me that I’ve been craving my phone more than Jesus... and that’s sad. I wanna do this. I don’t know how since I also have work to do on my phone. It’s difficult... but I’m going to be more intentional. Also, i found encouraging the fact that the Holy Spirit puts this desire in the hearts of brothers and sisters all around the world ✨✨ Blessings from Peru 🇵🇪
That's me with my laptop. I think my laptop's become an idol and God's been telling me the same thing; that I've been craving my sitcoms/gameshows more than Jesus). She mentioned being on the computer 45 minutes a day. Lol, that's just a drop in the bucket for ME! (it's all good things I watch, but still, I spend WAAAAAY to much time on youtube!
I found myself wasting time with seeing social media. I realized that it was so toxic. So I deleted the social media right away. I have been listening the podcast more and reading bible. It is so good to my mental and spiritual health. :)
I deleted Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok for a few months now and I’ve noticed I now have so much peace. You’ve really inspired me to try this for a week, I’ve really been longing to seek the Lord with my everything (no distraction). 💗 remember that Jesus loves you and wants to spend time with you!
Ok Ashley! I'm in for the challenge. Inna put off my phone for a week or more starting tomorrow. Thank you so much for this reminder. Lately I've been feeling like I was not spending time with God even tho I was praying Nd reading the Bible multiple times a day. Looking at this video...I realize that my mind was not in Gods word even when I was reading his word. I was constantly on my phone. As soon as I finish my quiet time I run to my phone. NO! I should be running to my Father not to the phone. So thank you so much for opening my eyes. I believe it's God's sign for me to stop spending much time on my phone this season. Thank you Ashley❤️ Praise the lord ❤️
I can’t believe this video was recommended to me! You posted it exactly when I was thinking about doing a whole week social media/phone fast to draw closer to God. I wasn’t sure when to do it or if I was supposed to do it, this is definitely confirmation! ❤️
I've been reevaluating my relationship with technology and the media I consume so this video came at a great time! I liked what you said about phones and technology in general not being evil. I've been thinking a lot about the fact that just because something isn't evil doesn't mean that it can't negatively affect you if misused. Very encouraging and cool to see someone echoing some things I've been learning 💜
I'm Brazilian and christian, your videos has been so good to me because i'm learning English by my self, and, besides that, being blessed by you! So thank you! God blesses all you!
I deleted my Instagram and Facebook it feels great I remember in 2019 or 2018 I spend like 9 months without a phone and I read like 5 books a day and got to think about so much I want to stop going on my phone too your so inspiring God bless you and your family! I love you girls ❤️🙏🏿🙌🏿
I also did that too and it really drew me closer to God. The phone can really build up frustration and sadness (many negative things filled up my mind so much whenever I went online and did stuff). I'm so glad that you did this! God bless you. :)
I feel like God / Holy Spirit has been wanting me to do this because I was so close to him before but now I spend more time on my phone and plus I have a 2 month old baby now. I want to do this I’ve tried it it’s kinda hard but it’s SO worth it to be closer to God
I’m 12 and don’t have a phone but this is so important not to spend time on technology because it is so easy to just pick up a device instead of spending time with God, family or friends. Thank you Ashley. -Presleigh Pina😘❤️👍🏻
I left instagram for 2 weeks..and after that i felt soooo refreshed! I didnt miss anything..i feel like most people these days feels the need to check their phones the whole time..when actually, you realistically just need to check it once a day. This video inspired me to spend less time on my phone and more time with God.
Hi Ashley and Taylor. I just received the Coffee and Bible Time prayer journal today! Wowza!! I'm so impressed! It's absolutely beautiful but practical and I just adore the versatility of all the different sections! This will make keeping a prayer journal easier and well, fun lol Y'all created an over the top product!! My mom is going to want one - probably my sister too! These will make perfect "I love you gifts" to those I love. 🥰🤗 God bless you both - and Mentor Mama and Dad too!
I am very addicted 2 my phone, however I get on my phone every a m 4 the Bible app 2 share my Bible time w/ 103 people individually as I take notes when having bible time and I read every day after lunch but I will make a conscious effort every day 2 not b on it all the time 4 unnecessary stuff !!!! Love yur videos, will challenge myself 2 stay away from my phone !!! Thks 4 yur input
Wow!!! Thank you so much for this! This video was so amazing! 🙌 I really have been feeling overwhelmed by my phone as well! I’m on it constantly and I have two small children and am afraid I’m going to let their lives pass me by. So so inspirational!!!!!
I love this!!! When I need a break I will let myself get on my phone twice a day for 30 minutes max each time, but not be on it ALL DAY. It makes such a difference!
This is so good! I deleted my socials a year ago, and wow, my life has been changed in so many great ways. The Lord revealed how self glorification, idolization, lust, and comparison was running rampant. I truly had to repent. I recorded my reflection almost a year later and this video was another confirmation I made the best choice!!!
This is so amazing that you posted this today. As of yesterday I start my social media break! I deleted my Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat apps. I still have UA-cam, and I don’t find anything wrong with watching some Christian UA-cam videos, like yours. I don’t feel the need to be on UA-cam that much. I do have issues with feeling the need to be on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram, A LOT throughout my day. It’s nice knowing I’m not the only one feeling that phones take a lot of precious time in our lives. We need to take in every sweet moment that the Lord hasn’t given us. We won’t get those moments back. Think what this world would be like if we would turn to our bibles every time we feel the need to get on Facebook or Instagram or etc. Thank you for sharing your journey. It gives me motivation and makes me know that I can do it as well. There may be hard moments, but I can do it! Haha
Wow this is so eye opening to me.. I spend a lot of time wasting my time on my phone or watching tv that I never thought about it in that way. I got inspired from you and am going to try it this coming week. God bless you for everything you're doing and the videos you're posting.
This is something that I reallyyy need to do!! I don't want my screen time to be more than my bible time!❤️ Thank you for the inspo I might do a video like this too!🤗
This video helped me so much! It got me thinking on how much time I really do spend on my phone. I turned this on while I am folding laundry but this made me realize that I don’t need to watch my phone every second I am not running around and being busy. I go on my phone whenever I have free time which is quite often. But in my free time I should be seeking God and reading his word! Not scrolling on Instagram. It sucks me in for HOURS at a time!! Thank you so much for this video I will definitely be taking a break!!❤️❤️
I really needed this! I was thinking to do it but it get harder but now I will def. do it With God I’m not alone! I can do anything with Christ who gave me strength.
The Lord was definitely speaking to me and my daughter with your video. I literally just expressed my feelings to the Lord and then I saw your video. I’m definitely going to fast from things also. I appreciate your message and may God continue to bless you.
Lately I've been buying books to try to get me to stay off my phone. I finished a book in one week.. now I'm waiting for another book to come tomorrow. So that helps me to get away from my phone.
I enjoyed this video and I believe it’s just what God needed me to see! I recently deactivated my social media accounts at the beginning of the month and it feels so good to disconnect! This just motivated me to continue for the rest of the month (maybe even longer 😅), and really start ameliorating my relationship with God!
Need this today. I’m on 20 days detox and only need to use this when needed or watch something useful. Then I stumbled on this vid and I know I need this. 😊
Good job girl!! And good job to all the people in the comments who deleted social media or took breaks from their devices. As someone who grew up an 80s/90s child, I can attest that none of this is normal!!! Can you even imagine pulling out a family photo album and seeing it full of pictures of one family member that they took of themselves? You would think they were a total sociopath lol. I regularly see groups of friends on the subway, in restaurants, the park etc.all silent, face down in their phones. It is weird and so unnatural to ignore the people you are with to see what people you don't know are up to. Obviously like Ashley said, there is nothing inherently bad about watching some videos here and there, chatting with friends via text or even an occasional hour spent pointlessly scrolling. But this absolute obsession with "likes" and trying to catch every minor event on camera is bizaare to say the least. Put. The. Phone. Down!!!! Live in the moment!! Annnnd on that note...bye!! P.s. Love love love the channel 😊
This video popped up in my recoms just at the right time PRAISE the Lord. I’ve been feeling that I needed a phone/ social media detox too. Guess this is a sign that I rlly need it
i'm so proud of you ash !!!!!!!!!!! This video maked me want to set a week for not hsving my phone, it is so close to be my idol (maybe it is already) thank Ash
Ash. I enjoyed this vlog so much!!. Thank you for sharing this,i love how it. Powerful and challenging. I also want to take on this challenge soon.. and just spent time with the Lord. I know my phone can be a distraction too..
You are amazing! I cannot do without my phone, my sister lives in Pennsylvania and the other lives 30 miles from me and since we lost our mom we are talking every day on messenger, and we craft and have lunch together on FaceTime once a week. I hope you have such a Blessed week!♥️
This has come to me at such a good time, I just did a "cleanse" on all my socials by removing some people/unfollowing them. And after doing that I've also started to think of taking a full break and not being on my socials for awhile
God bless you..so today my phone screen cracked , and here I am using my husbands phone and was going to take it to repair it tomorrow but in the meantime this motivated me and will be spending more time with the Lord , and challenge myself too Thank God for this I needed it
This is such a great idea. I have tried things similar to this and it feels Freeing and refreshing. That statistics are crazy. Why are we so attached to our phones??? I’m glad people are waking up and realizing the problem we are in with constantly having phones and social media
I rely on my phone at school and it’s difficult to get around it so when I’m on break I’m going to take a few days away from my phone (couldn’t do a whole week just yet but I’ll build it up). So much of the time I waste could actually be spent with God
What a motivational video, I'm going to do a social media detox and go all old-fashion. Thanks :)) I think you should do a nature video...it's beautiful where you live!
Sadly all I have is a “virtual world.” My phone is the only way I have any interaction at all with any humans. Even though it’s strangers on social media at least it’s something. I’m home alone all day every single day and never see or speak to another human being ever so when I don’t have my phone I feel even lonelier. I do definitely try to go on social media less and spend more time with God and praying and doing all those beautiful things that you said but that still leaves tons of empty time. you have your family to be with. I don’t have anyone.
Hello Bitsy. I am so sorry to hear this. Thank God you can connect to others through technology. That is a blessing for sure :) Praying for you my friend! ❤️
Because of health problems, it's harder for me to go out and find places that's safe for me, especially during the pandemic, so I stay home a lot with my family. I have no social media except UA-cam. My phone is a way for me to keep up with news and I find lots of information for ideas I come up with. ( like finding ways to be a conservationist) also I love classic rock and listen to it on UA-cam. But that sad I have TONS of cds I can listen to. I'm a very restless person and my hands need to always be moving so m phone helps with that. I'm an introvert so there's not a lot of people I text. Lol my phone is actually a way for me to relax when not reading a book
Your truly an inspiration. I been feeling disconnected from gif lately and I know it’s backed I give to much time on my phone and not reading my Bible. I can’t turn off the phone because I do need some calls to come through. But I can leave it in a another room and don’t have to be on it. I will be trying that this week. Thank you for the reminder. I know the times I have been off my phone I did enjoy my day more. Like this afternoon with my family. Btw I don’t always see your vids in my sub. I did just ring the bell so I can see them when I watch a vid here and there. Love your channel. Don’t want to miss out.
I’ve been following your videos since you created coffee and bible time. I have to say you ladies the 3 of you 😉 have inspired me this whole time you spend quality time with God and you’ve helped me learn new things about studying the Bible. Keep going ladies you are accomplishing so much! All glory to our Creator! Thank you for being obedient
I'm very happy and grateful that Jesus guided me to this video. 🖤 It was relaxing just watching your experience. Something I'm lacking is peace and calmness. Feels like everything is going by so fast without any true fulfillment. I acknowledge that it's only in Jesus that I can find these things. Now it's times I act upon it. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Wow!!! Yeah! I need to start my journey in turning off my 📞 phone and start focusing on Gods word and giving Him a chance to speak to me and giving me a chance to listen to Jesus too.
I am going on Easter holidays soon and i may actually do it. I think if I spent the amount of time on God that i do on my phone boy there would be a change in my life. I feel that its hard to discipline yourself and I think i need to start setting boundaries.
Hi Ashley and Taylor, Idk if you're going to see this but I hope that one day you could do a video about emotional climate at home, like about what's your experience if you and your family have had problems at home like argues and discussions and how did you overcome it. Or just some advices that you can give to us who are struggling with that. I see your videos since 2017 and I love the fact that you've been including more family members in some videos, like your mom
The phone still my time, a precious thing that God gave us for glorify him, I will love to do this, thank you for this video, I’m from Chile, i’m Latina, so a preacher said this “ tus ojos no están diseñados para ver el brillo de tu teléfono, están diseñados para ver el brillo de la gloria de Dios, ¿somos discípulos de Jesús o de nuestro teléfono? And that just was really confronting for me.
“I want to be more of a woman of prayer than a woman of my phone.” 😶 Straight conviction 🤕
Straight to the heart! I praise God for it though ☺️
“Don’t refresh your screen. Refresh your soul.”
I made that up 😂
That's goooodddd. I like it!!
Amen
I like it lol
Talk about detoxing!!!!!😭😱This is harder than going off carbs.😬
LOLLLLLLLLL hahaha
Yess😄😄
I want to be a woman of prayer not a woman of my phone! This one touched my soul, yeahhh imma have to hop on this 🥺✨
Same!!!! Life is about growing to look more like Jesus every day! :) He gives us grace throughout the journey! ❤️❤️❤️
She definitely motivated us to try it 🙏
@@coffeeandbibletime he truly does, God bless you sis! God sees you trying each day 🤍✨

@@rebeccajacob2311 i know!! 😅😌😌
I use my phone for a Bible studying and listening to my worship songs to prepare for service on Sunday but I also use it for watching videos on UA-cam
Deactivated my Facebook while
watching this & I legit felt this weight finally lifted off my shoulders 🙌🏼
I’ve set timers on my apps that I’m drawn to the most & purposefully set my Bible app as unlimited ! It has helped me , definitely want to try turning my phone off completely at least on the weekends for sure ❤️

Hello friend!!! Welcome to the Coffee and Bible Time family!!! :)))
Yay! One of the best channels EVER!
This is so amazing that you posted this today. As of yesterday I start my social media break! I deleted my Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat apps.

Lately I've been buying books to try to get me to stay off my phone. I finished a book in one week.. now I'm waiting for another book to come tomorrow. So that helps me to get away from my phone.
Good idea!!! Reading is SO good for the brain :))
one of the best videos i have watched about phone addiction. thank you!
I am proud of you Ashley! Good job.
I enjoyed this video and I believe it’s just what God needed me to see!
I recently deactivated my social media accounts at the beginning of the month and it feels so good to disconnect! This just motivated me to continue for the rest of the month (maybe even longer 😅), and really start ameliorating my relationship with God!
Need this today. I’m on 20 days detox and only need to use this when needed or watch something useful. Then I stumbled on this vid and I know I need this. 😊
You never cease to inspire me, Ashley. I'm definitely doing this. ❤
Good job girl!! And good job to all the people in the comments who deleted social media or took breaks from their devices. As someone who grew up an 80s/90s child, I can attest that none of this is normal!!! Can you even imagine pulling out a family photo album and seeing it full of pictures of one family member that they took of themselves? You would think they were a total sociopath lol. I regularly see groups of friends on the subway, in restaurants, the park etc.all silent, face down in their phones. It is weird and so unnatural to ignore the people you are with to see what people you don't know are up to. Obviously like Ashley said, there is nothing inherently bad about watching some videos here and there, chatting with friends via text or even an occasional hour spent pointlessly scrolling. But this absolute obsession with "likes" and trying to catch every minor event on camera is bizaare to say the least. Put. The. Phone. Down!!!! Live in the moment!! Annnnd on that note...bye!!
P.s. Love love love the channel 😊
Very inspiring Ashley! Please tell your dad happy belated birthday from us!!
This video popped up in my recoms just at the right time PRAISE the Lord. I’ve been feeling that I needed a phone/ social media detox too. Guess this is a sign that I rlly need it
Yes. Do it. It will be worth it :)
This is so important. Thank you and God bless you!💗🙏
you looks soo pretty with straight hair and curly hair also this is literally one of my fav videos you made!!!
awww thank you so much!!! :)
!!
i'm so proud of you ash !!!!!!!!!!!
This video maked me want to set a week for not hsving my phone, it is so close to be my idol (maybe it is already) thank Ash
I tried the same thing for one day - last saturday ☺️ It was/is sooo good to not be distracted... such a good idea for everyone :)
Loved this! Thank you for sharing.💜🙌💜🙏💜
Ash. I enjoyed this vlog so much!!. Thank you for sharing this,i love how it. Powerful and challenging. I also want to take on this challenge soon.. and just spent time with the Lord. I know my phone can be a distraction too..
You are amazing! I cannot do without my phone, my sister lives in Pennsylvania and the other lives 30 miles from me and since we lost our mom we are talking every day on messenger, and we craft and have lunch together on FaceTime once a week. I hope you have such a Blessed week!♥️
This has come to me at such a good time, I just did a "cleanse" on all my socials by removing some people/unfollowing them. And after doing that I've also started to think of taking a full break and not being on my socials for awhile
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless you..so today my phone screen cracked , and here I am using my husbands phone and was going to take it to repair it tomorrow but in the meantime this motivated me and will be spending more time with the Lord , and challenge myself too Thank God for this I needed it
That's a great idea! You did so good!!! ❤
by God's grace hehe!
@@coffeeandbibletime always🙌❤
First ❤️.. Loved the new intro..
This is such a great idea. I have tried things similar to this and it feels
Freeing and refreshing. That statistics are crazy. Why are we so attached to our phones??? I’m glad people are waking up and realizing the problem we are in with constantly having phones and social media
You’re so pretty!!! I love your hair Ashley!! I love it both natural and straight 💜🥰😍
I rely on my phone at school and it’s difficult to get around it so when I’m on break I’m going to take a few days away from my phone (couldn’t do a whole week just yet but I’ll build it up). So much of the time I waste could actually be spent with God
Girl YES!!! ❤️❤️❤️ you can do it :)
SUCH AN ENCOURAGING VIDEO!!!! Best thing I’ve watched all week 🤗🤗❤️
What a motivational video, I'm going to do a social media detox and go all old-fashion. Thanks :))
I think you should do a nature video...it's beautiful where you live!
Sadly all I have is a “virtual world.” My phone is the only way I have any interaction at all with any humans. Even though it’s strangers on social media at least it’s something. I’m home alone all day every single day and never see or speak to another human being ever so when I don’t have my phone I feel even lonelier. I do definitely try to go on social media less and spend more time with God and praying and doing all those beautiful things that you said but that still leaves tons of empty time. you have your family to be with. I don’t have anyone.
Hello Bitsy. I am so sorry to hear this. Thank God you can connect to others through technology. That is a blessing for sure :) Praying for you my friend! ❤️
@@coffeeandbibletime thank you. I lost my whole world last year.
This!!🙌 I have noticed the same in my own life. Creating daily disciplines to be on my phone less is what I'm working on. Loved the video! 😍
You look ABSOLUTELY stunning with your hair like this. BEAUTIFUL ❤️ this was such a great vlog! Love your vlogs 😊
Thank you friend!!! :)))
Because of health problems, it's harder for me to go out and find places that's safe for me, especially during the pandemic, so I stay home a lot with my family. I have no social media except UA-cam. My phone is a way for me to keep up with news and I find lots of information for ideas I come up with. ( like finding ways to be a conservationist) also I love classic rock and listen to it on UA-cam. But that sad I have TONS of cds I can listen to. I'm a very restless person and my hands need to always be moving so m phone helps with that. I'm an introvert so there's not a lot of people I text. Lol my phone is actually a way for me to relax when not reading a book
Wow thanks for these statistics. They resonate with me and it’s good to hear
You look so lovely, Ashley! 😍😍
Your truly an inspiration. I been feeling disconnected from gif lately and I know it’s backed I give to much time on my phone and not reading my Bible. I can’t turn off the phone because I do need some calls to come through. But I can leave it in a another room and don’t have to be on it. I will be trying that this week. Thank you for the reminder. I know the times I have been off my phone I did enjoy my day more. Like this afternoon with my family. Btw I don’t always see your vids in my sub. I did just ring the bell so I can see them when I watch a vid here and there. Love your channel. Don’t want to miss out.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this 😊❤
Good for you in accomplishing this Ashley I’m proud of you! Great example to others🙏🏻
I’ve been following your videos since you created coffee and bible time. I have to say you ladies the 3 of you 😉 have inspired me this whole time you spend quality time with God and you’ve helped me learn new things about studying the Bible. Keep going ladies you are accomplishing so much! All glory to our Creator! Thank you for being obedient
I really enjoy the new intro lately✨👌🏻
hehe thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm very happy and grateful that Jesus guided me to this video. 🖤 It was relaxing just watching your experience. Something I'm lacking is peace and calmness. Feels like everything is going by so fast without any true fulfillment. I acknowledge that it's only in Jesus that I can find these things. Now it's times I act upon it. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Wow. Amen. Yes. God will help you :)
Thank you SO much for sharing this....and the book list. I'm definitely going to check some of these out.😉
yayyy!!!
Wow!!! Yeah! I need to start my journey in turning off my 📞 phone and start focusing on Gods word and giving Him a chance to speak to me and giving me a chance to listen to Jesus too.
I am going on Easter holidays soon and i may actually do it. I think if I spent the amount of time on God that i do on my phone boy there would be a change in my life. I feel that its hard to discipline yourself and I think i need to start setting boundaries.
Amazing you motivated me to do it and leave the world and enjoy the word 😍
Wow that was so encouraging and girl I have to tell you something : I DO IT TOO🤗
This is soo what I needed to hear!! Thank you girls!! I love yours videos!
I wish I could do this, but in times of online classes it's so hard! But you inspired me to reduce my screentime :)
Hi Ashley and Taylor, Idk if you're going to see this but I hope that one day you could do a video about emotional climate at home, like about what's your experience if you and your family have had problems at home like argues and discussions and how did you overcome it. Or just some advices that you can give to us who are struggling with that. I see your videos since 2017 and I love the fact that you've been including more family members in some videos, like your mom
U r so inspiring. Thank u so much for ur content. U r such a blessing.
Love this 😊🙏🏼 deleting Instagram periodically is so helpful for me. This sounds like it would be so refreshing!
I'm really have to laugh when you turned the wrong button to shut it down 🤭🤗
Like the study's and video's!
Greetz from the Netherlands
haha! Thank you!!! 😆😆😆
I want to thank you for this. I will be sharing this. You are doing such good.
THANK YOU FOR ALSO TAKING THIS CHALLENGE SO YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO TALK WITH US AUTHENTICALLY & POWERFULLY ABOUT THIS ASHLEY, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OF GOD🤗🔥
The phone still my time, a precious thing that God gave us for glorify him, I will love to do this, thank you for this video, I’m from Chile, i’m Latina, so a preacher said this “ tus ojos no están diseñados para ver el brillo de tu teléfono, están diseñados para ver el brillo de la gloria de Dios, ¿somos discípulos de Jesús o de nuestro teléfono? And that just was really confronting for me.
😊😊😊
