    Ive been praying for a year for God to help me let go of stuff. My husband got a job offer he couldn't pass up last month so we're moving to Texas to a 2 bdrm apt from a 2000 square foot house so I'm seriously getting rid of stuff. You can never predict how He's gonna answer a prayer. You and a few others have helped me get in the right mindset so now I'm purging with joy. Thank you ❤

    Hi Shannon. I am a long time subscriber but this is the first time I’ve commented. I am a 76-year-old grandmother from the gulf coast about 60 miles south of Houston. The things you had to say today really struck a chord with me. We are alike in some ways and different in someways. First of all we are sisters in Christ which is a blessing. I, likeYou, started noticing as a teenager that our house was not like other people’s house. My parents were both hard-working and spent many hours on their job so we just pitched in on the weekend and all of us try to get things back in shape. I never realized that running at home with a job. I had two children by the time I was 20 and I knew that I was to take care of them but I didn’t understand much else about running a home. I made friends with another young mother who totally knew how to run a home. I admired her so much and started copying the things that she did. We are friends to this day and I always tell her that she taught me how to be a housewife.She’s probably somebody that you would’ve called overboard with her cleaning. She had days to clean her baseboards and days to wash her sheets and she never ran out of anything because she always planned and bought things on sale and When one bottle of ketchup ran out she got the other one from the cabinet and then put ketchup on her grocery list. So after that I started being immaculate like her. I prided myself on having a super clean house. You could not look in any cabinet or any drawer and not find it all perfectly in order. Now many years later I have had a whole year of health problems. I cannot keep house like I used to and I have really been beating mySelf up about it. Thank you for reminding me to be kind to myself always and be grateful for what I can still do. Love in Christ

      This past fall I spent 10 weeks in bed with a herniated disk. I'm only in my 40s and I have six kids at home ages 20-8. I had to let go of pretty much everything and trust that once my health got better I could keep house again. It's not your fault. You are doing the best you can. I'm praying for friends and family to come around you and fill in the gaps.

    Shannon Dear.... Bless your heart for being so real on your channel. I'll soon be 81 and my decluttering journey is still ongoing. There is still some 'stuff' I need to let go of although over the years there has been a huge improvement. Your videos inspire me a lot. You also remind me to turn to God in prayer for help with 'seemingly' inconsequential issues such as decluttering, daily problematic concerns etc. Thank you for you.
    Fondly, Dorothy.

    I was taught how to clean growing up, but never how to declutter… and I was always being made to clean so I’ve done a horrible job making my kids do it. Mess has always been part of our home as a result. I’ve been working really hard over the past few years to get rid of things and I’m slowly introducing my kids to helping out. I know it’s good for them, but man was it a mental hurdle to get through for me. Love your channel so much!! Thanks for keeping it real!

    Shannon I just wanted to tell you that I had an epiphany about something that you said in one of your recent cleaning videos. You mentioned being mad or hostile about cleaning and no one helping, and instead you found a way to turn that around. It made me find my happiness in cleaning again because I stopped blaming the household and started to just realize that my joy is found in a clean home. I want to work on my home more and it started this week because of you! Thank you friend

    Shannon you are my bright spark in my day. I am a neat person,everything in its place and a place for everything. My husband is the complete opposite. His messy ways are real triggers for my depression. Which sucks the joy and happiness out of my soul. I tried to clean up after him,but I resent his lack of any effort to change. I am at the point of not cleaning any of his clutter and garbage. Which doesn’t help my mental state at all. I’m gonna be 60 this year and my body and energy level isn’t what it was. I am so thankful for my Better Help counselor, I highly recommend this service. But what I really need is prayer,prayer and more prayer. So if anyone or yourself would add me in, I will truly be blessed. Thank you. Heather 💜

He passed away March 13 2024, I really miss his stuff. As far as prayer, maybe instead of praying for him to change, maybe you need to pray for your heart and attitude to change. I’m not trying to be mean or judgement and I hope you take this, how I mean it

    Hello Shannon! Thank you for your video! Your words about your faith resonate with me. I am of a different faith, but just like you it is present in my life to a point, that I cannot NEVER mention it or talk about it. It would feel like ignoring a limb. And as much as I have my problems with the Christian faith, I understand where you are coming from and because I do, I never feel uncomfortable - and I feel uncomfortable a lot when it comes to religion. It is a sensitive thing and who wants to hurt other peoples feelings, right? - Apart from that, I always enjoy your content! I admire you sharing your journey and the reality of life not always happening in our favour, with health issues and all. And still you're doing it, and you get back up, and that shows how stubbornly strong you are ❤ sending hugs from Luxembourg 🇱🇺

    My problem is that I have a hard time just "tidying up." If I vacuum one small spot I end up vacuuming the entire house, the baseboards etc. If I clean up one thing I end up deep cleaning the entire house. I don't know how to work one spot at a time/day 😩😩😩.

  • @lisav018
    @lisav018 5 месяцев назад

    I grew up the same way and my husband grew up the opposite. I’m a very neat person but those routine cleaning items, like mopping vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms weren’t part of my life. When we moved in together every Saturday he wanted us to get up and clean the house and I was like, there’s just 2 of us, it’s not dirty, so that routine went by the wayside. Big mistake! Now 20 years later and we still have no cleaning routine, although we’re both tidy. You’re inspiring me to get my spring cleaning done now!

      I made a point to seek him everyday. I did a lot of prayerful meditation where I would just lay in bed under the covers… talking to him. I laid down everything that was weighing on my heart (relationships, health, unrealistic expectations). I also released myself of the unnecessary burdens I was putting on myself. I came to peace that I wasn’t going to be that ideal I set up for myself as a wife and mother. And then of course, Intentionally looking for the blessings and positives things he put in my path that day because they were ALWAYS there.

    I’m happy you didn’t stick to your friends regiment, Erik was helping you so good because he sees his parents do it and understands the what and whys.
    But I think it is quite important to compare yourself or your home or whatever to others, it is just without judgement. Not grading who does what, but understand and ask and learn. If you don’t compare and you don’t envy, you don’t know what you want too and can strive for - and maybe ask that friend how they do it?
