While this isn't for everyone, getting off social media entirely was the best decision I ever made. I've been off for almost a year now. While that might not be everyones conviction, I still recommend removing all the social apps off your phone and only use it on your computer. :) Great video as always!
Thank you for recommending that!!! I also deleted my personal Instagram and it was one of the best decisions!!!!!
I've been off for 7 months now. Best decision I ever made too. 😉
This helped me too! I reconnected with the Lord in such a good and better way!
I feel you
@@coffeeandbibletime Same here Ash. It's been 2 years and the peace is absolutely worth it.
I’m 13 years old not even saved for a year I’ve been saved since 9/26/23 this channel has been a huge blessing in my life! I can’t wait to obey Gods command to get baptized
WOW, Ash! These kind of videos really inspire me to keep growing deeper into my relationship with Christ 💖
Love what you said about making a start. Something that keeps coming back to me: "What are you doing today to become the person you want to be in the future?" If you want to be a strong, spiritual Christian in the future you have to make a start today!
My phone has also been a huge distraction for me. I get so upset with myself but still sink back to my phone. God's really been dealing with me with this. So crazy you would post this video
I need to hear this advice as much as you ! It is an idol in my life that I constantly need to surrender to God! Praying for you friend!
@@coffeeandbibletime iam useing your sandpaper times
I appreciate what you had to say about not comparing my Bible reading journey with anyone else’s or not giving up because it’s hard. I’m convicted by this whole video. Thanks for sharing!
I wake up at 5am M-F. I read my morning devotional and chat with Jesus, then get up, make my bed, get into workout clothes, grab my bags and head to the gym. I workout for an hour and then head to work. During the first part of my workout, I listen to The Messy Masters podcast morning devotional. Then I have herbal tea after my workout.
Hi, I wake up at 430am, go to the gym, come home to get my kids ready for school, than 7am make my coffee and have my quiet time. Yes I agree the phone is a big distraction. The only social media I guess I have is youtube. I rid myself of all social media 7 years ago and never looked back. I'm so happy I did that. I know its hard for youtubers to do that. God Bless you and I enjoy all your videos.
Wow amazing! That's awesome you got rid of social media! I want to do away with it too someday. I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s so I definitely miss those days when people actually talked to each other and were not glued to their phones or distracted by all of this social media junk. God Bless!
Thank Youuu!!! I loved this video just as all of Yours. 🎉❤ I wake up mostly at 5 am, so I can have a really productive day after starting my day with God!!!😊
I am such a night owl...I seriously can stay up all night. The problem is then I wake up too late and I need a whole gallong of coffee to get through the day lol.
4am is my best time. time with God...
Loved the video! I was out of work for 4 months, and I'd read a few Psalms and Proverbs in the morning, but do an actual study at night. I'm working now, so getting up at 6 to do it in the morning. I don't have a problem with scrolling when I should be studying, but I do have the limit screentime activated on my most-used apps. I use my phone to Google questions related to the study, so I put it on silent but keep it by the desk.
A few tips/things that help me study:
- have a designated spot that could be decorated to make you want to sit and study there. I have candles that I only burn when I'm studying the Bible
- keep a notepad so if you're thinking of something else, you can write it down and move on
- you can read through the Bible in a year by reading 4 chapters a day
- you can read through Psalms and Proverbs in one month (with 31 days) if you read 5 Psalms and 1 Proverb a day
- most importantly, don't beat yourself up for missing a day. It's not all or nothing. Pushing yourself to "make up" for missing a day only means you're reading twice the amount and absorbing half as much. Quality over quantity.
This was most helpful to me. I will definitely start tomorrow morning.
This was most helpful to me. I will definitely start tomorrow morning.
In nursing school and I needed this, my break is next week and I'm planning to fast from electronics, rather then stay on RUclips mindlessly, and watching movies, etc. and start healthy habits like eating too before my classes start back up again. Thank you and God bless!
I would wake up at like 7 or 8 because of school and would pray and have a bible study at like 9 when I get my 1 hour break.
🙏
The last part was hilarious. 🤣🤣
What a precious dauther of Zion!!! thank you so much for all this precious video it is helping me a lot on how to be diligente in my quiet time and spend time with God
I so appreciate your suggestions because my phone and iPad are big distractions for me too. Another thing I'm working on is to write down on a cute small notepad next to me any thoughts that come up about things I have to do, calls to make, etc. that will loop in my mind and steal my attention. When quiet time is finished, I have a list so I didn't forget them and sometimes the list serves as my to-do list for the day. Thank you for your sincerity and great ideas. God bless you!
That is an amazing idea!!!
What a great idea!
@@mymentorjane6705 I started this a while back too! I keep a pad of sticky notes next to my chair to write down things that pop in mind. I keep my phone across the room and rely on an analog clock on my table to tell me when to wrap things up.
@@jillianmaners9538 great idea about putting some distance between myself and my phone! Thank you.
Mine too!! The phone is so true.
I had to unplug my TV back in 2012. I was addicted.
I love reading the Bible early morning with coffee !
Why I love you talk about god keep telling the word god❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I really want to get back on the wagon!
I try to go to sleep before 9:30 and I try to wake up at 4:30-5:00! This is great content!
wow!!! 4:30 is early! Do you ever get tired throughout the day?
❤😊 to godbe the glory.😊
THANK YOU ASH I just stumbled on this post and this is JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR TODAY. thank you please do more posts about this it’s very encouraging for people that might think they have to “know it all” and it’s more of a ALL or nothing. Thanks again! 💜
I'm glad I came across this video today. I am currently struggling with comparing myself/ my journey to other believers forgetting that we all need to start somewhere and it is going to take time. This was something I needed to hear. Thank you 🤍
I try to get to bed by 9:30/ 10 pm and get up by 3:30 to 4:30 am. I don’t sleep more than 5 to 6 hours a day, which is why I try to get to bed and sleep by 10 am. God has been putting on my heart to get up this early to get some meaningful quiet time with Him before getting ready for work, and getting to work by 6:30/ 7 am. This helps me get my mind and attitude in order and face the day, whether good or bad. Thank you for your videos Ashley! You and you’re sister are a blessing. Because of you I love my art bibles and Inspired prayer Bibles, they are colored with color pencils and journaled in pen. I love opening it and reading what I wrote beforehand when I come across the passage(s) again. And yes coffee and tea in the morning is a must!!
Little by little spoke to me, thank you 😊 my mindset needs a change, even tiny steps count 🌻
Love this video 😍 reminder to start now ... Doesn't happen over night
Starting again today!!!!! . I truly. needed this refreshment... Thank you . I pulled my journal out as my family sleeps and time to read and log and journal❣️🙌🏼🙏🏼❣️
It encouraged me.. I start reading my Bible today ❤️
I love your videos ash keep them coming👏👍😁
Hi there! I start my day at 6:30 in the morning with prayer and Bible reading and some coffee and bread too.
5:00 spend time with Jesus. That is is my goal. Pray for me
May the Lord bless your quiet time.
I love waking up and start my days with just me and God! I put on our choir music on low in the back ground. I love your videos!
Thanks for the encouraging word. I've fallen off the wagon of Bible studying. I'm going to a Bible study at church. Pray for me to have a hunger and thirst for God
Thank you soo much for this! I often get discouraged because I feel like everyone is way ahead of me
I am also so distracted by my phone and this video really helped me.
That’s awesome to notice your distraction & be able to lay it aside like that! Great example!!
My phone & social media used to be so “self-ish” & anyone who looked at my pages couldn’t really tell that I’m a believer. So as convicted by the Holy Spirit, I removed all personal posts from the public & have only been sharing the Word, biblical encouragement, worship, & testimonies of my faith for about 2 years now!
How refreshing it is to reflect the light of Christ! 🙌🏻🥳🥰
Love the ending 😂💛 made my day!!!!
hehehehe
Fasting from electronics is a confirmation for me. Thank you.
Praise God!
I'm a mom of four little ones I wake up at 6:30. My goal is to try and wake up at 4:30 so I get more quiet time to myself before my children wake up. I like doing my scripture reading around my children then I read a Bible story and devotin to them. They enjoy doing that and we often have conversations about Bible stories and what their story in their devotion is teaching.
Good encouragement
Thanks for the excellent advice…you’ll make such an inspirational pastor’s wife and encouragement to the faithful 💕❤️
Thanks for sharing, I was so hard on myself.
I wake up at 5:30 every morning even on weekends 😩 my distractions is social media for sure
i really needed this!! thank you for posting! 💕
I own a bakery so I need to get there by 4:45 so I get up around 3:30 so I can have about an hour to bible study before I get ready. Early mornings and early to bed for me 😂❤️ thanks for sharing all your tips!
oh my goodness that is so amazing you own a bakery!!!! What is the name of it and where? I would love to visit one day hehe :)))
@@coffeeandbibletime Thats so sweet!!! Itty Bitty Bakery in Knightstown Indiana ❤️
@@ashleytunny what a cuttee name 🥰
What time go to bed
Thanks Ash for your words of encouragement. I just very recently found your Chanel and you have been so helpful and supportive. Your teachings and kind words are very much appreciated. Just want to say thank you for all your wonderful Bible study videos.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching!
Thank you for the encouragement! I really appreciate how much you take us into account and how much you care, not just that we enjoy the video, but that we learn from it and take something from it to help us grow our relationship with God. It's honestly so helpful.
I can easily get discouraged and compare myself to others and think I'm not good enough and get frustrated when I don't understand things in the Bible. So thank you for the reminder today that it's an ongoing process 😊.
Hope you and Taylor have a lovely week :)
Thank you so much for the sweet words friend ❤️😊❤️😊
Thank you for the encouragement.
Normal routing is wake up at 5am, help make my hubby's lunch and prepare his things for work.5:30 to 6:15 is quiet time with God then get the kids and I ready for the day and head out the door by 7:20 am!
I love you Ash. Thank you for radiating Jesus
❤️❤️❤️
Yes we really really need it in this crazy and busy world.
I wake up at 6:00 or 6:30 depending on the day. I like waking up early to spend time in prayer and Bible Study.
Yes to all of this. The phone use creates fragmented experiences with everything. Thank you for this, I thought I was crazy for this same issue.
You are not crazy!!
I try to go to bed around 10 or 10:30 depending on what time I pray at night and I wake up this might seem crazy but 5:45 am and I pray to the lord and listen to music Christian music and pray till 6:30 am
I WANT THIS BIBLEEE
this was really encouraging
Love the last few minutes. Lol too funny!
I go to bed at 8:30 ish most weekdays and wake up at 4:15. I go to the gym at 5 and work at 8. I usually have about 5-15 minutes for a quiet time each morning and I might have to start using a timer! I never really thought of that since I do use my phone during my quiet time for commentary.
I wake up @ 5am every morning ! ☺
I tried to go on bed 9:00 pm and wake up 5:00 am, and pass all the time that is possible with God I don't put time for the Lord. But in the start it was very hard.
But God keep working on me. Blessings
I wake up at 4 during the week. Long 10 hour days and 5 days a week. A schedule has been the best thing for me. I prep everything the night before. I go to bed at 8. I am 48 years old and I definitely need the sleep! Lol
"Desiring Him above all" hits differently. Thank you for reminding us and for being real.
I have never seen any one holding a pen the way you do.....
Blessings from Sunny South Africa
Your morning routines are so comforting and inspiring!!👏
Thank you friend!
This video was definitely for me. I put my busy schedule with school and work ahead of my relationship with Christ. I finally said no more and began attending church on Sundays and changed my work schedule around so I could attend women’s ministry at my church starting next Tuesday. This encouraged me to read the Bible although there are a lot I don’t understand. My husband is so knowledgeable, but has also been lukewarm. We are not new to the faith which makes us feel even worse about how we’ve put God aside and we’ve seen our marriage suffer for it. My phone is definitely my biggest distraction as well, and I need to try your tips. I know you said you didn’t know why you said what you said in this video, but I believe it was meant for me to hear. I’ve followed you for years, but always felt I wasn’t knowledgeable enough to follow or watch your videos. Boy was I so wrong. Thank you and God bless you! ❤️
Hi Kassie! Thank you so much for sharing. It was very encouraging for me to read. ❤️ I praise God that he is using me as His vessel!! I am praying for you!!!
I also just want you to know that it is through the power of Christ that we can change and become more like him. We have to partner with him and we need to have a desire to change, but Christ does the work within us and he will do the work within you! He is the author and perfector of our faith. He will perfect us!. It is so amazing that you have been taking steps to grow and your relationship with him. It will be worth it.
@@coffeeandbibletime Amen! I really want him to do the work within me and I know that requires me to take the right steps. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I can’t wait to get to know Him more deeply.
I just read this and I want to encourage you to continue pursuing intimacy with Christ. I can speak from firsthand experience that your pursuit WILL influence your husband! I’ve been married 8.5 years and there was a very dark period in our marriage where I was going full force towards God and it felt like my husband (who was a believer when I met and married him) was pretty cool for the things of Jesus. Our work schedules were opposite and he worked on Sundays so I would constantly be by myself on Sunday mornings at church and it was so hard. But I kept going and kept digging into the Word.
It took a while. And lots of tears. And so much prayer. But now my husband is back on fire for God and our marriage is stronger than ever. Never underestimate the power of a praying wife. I fully believe your husband will be on fire for God again!!
@@jordanalmond3458 Wow, thank you so much for sharing that wonderful testimony of that difficult period in your marriage. Amen! 🙏🏽 This gives me so much hope. I will continue my duty and be more in the word, go to Women’s Ministry and push more towards God in hopes he’ll be on fire as he used to. Thank you for this motivation and encouragement. God bless you and your marriage! Much love to you both 💕
Your art beside your Bible is beautiful
Thank you! I am hoping to grow my collection and start selling one day 😊
This video is so on time! The past few weeks I've been really convicted about how my phone has been distracting me from my quiet time. I was hopeing ,in the back of my mind, that you guys would make a video, and they next day there it is! This video is just what I needed, thank you!
oh good!!! Praise God!!!!!
I just want to share some encouragement....your channel has inspired me to get back into the reading the bible....I was praying asking God for a hunger to study His word more, then I come across your videos about studying the Bible....thank God and keep going 🙏
You make me wanna read the Bible 🥲 so inspiring!
Thank you Ashley! The enemy definitely tries his best to get us distracted!
Beautiful art work Ashley!! ❤
I used to have a terrible sleep schedule but I recently moved and we had to spend about a week without Wi-Fi and it really changed my habits. Now I go to bed at 8:00 and wake up at 6:00 ☺️ it also showed me just how much more calming it can be to simply read in silence or cloud watch from my living room then having music or tv constantly on.
Thank you for your encouragement Ashley! I struggle because I'm on my own so I can get overwhelmed. When you're doing everything on your own, including taking care of a house, it can overtake everything else in your life. It also makes for easy and frequent distraction. I have to stop and regroup with some Bible study and prayer very frequently. That always brings things into perspective and helps me unwind too. This was really good to hear this evening!
Excellent advice to remove distractions! You are blessing to me this morning🌺 thank you for your honesty and showing many why distractions effects our time or lack of focus on God! You are so right! We who watch this are blessed for listening to your tips!
You're videos always inspire me in my walk with the Lord! Thank you so much for faithfulness and love!! We all appreciate it 💖
Yeaa I’m trying to be more intentional
Yesss the Most High Yahusha is helping me through I love this video it just resembles my daily act to lead to His will and seek after Him daily no matter the destructions or attempt at defeat from the enemy. It’s through the distractions or non motivating or procrastinating moments is where God is with me and I turn my focus unto Him to build strength and fear in Him. 🤎🤎🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh my goodness this is so for me! God just spoke to me through you! Sometimes I hate my phone because it’s so dang distracting!!! I love 💕 my Jesus so much, but my phone gets in the way of time in God’s presence! I get up most mornings at 5 or 6 😃
Sister! This was for me!!❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH!🥺🫂
God spoke to me through it!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Ash! Everyone, please keep praying for world peace, now and always 🌍❤️.
Thank you for encouraging and inspiring 👌🏽🔥💜⚔️
This video spoke to me so much. I’ve been struggling to read the Bible and about two days something almost just snapped and I WANTED to read the Bible! I started Psalms a few months back and two days ago picked back up on psalms 44. I just finished reading Psalms 61-67 today and psalms 64 was the one that stood out to me the most so I think it’s crazy that’s what you read! I honestly highlighted it and took a picture of it to keep this morning! Thank you so much for sharing what you shared, it helped a lot.
The phone is definitely a huge distraction
- I have really been struggling to focus lately and this was really helpful, thank you Ashley!! 💙
I try to wake up between 6:45-7:45, but mainly try to make sure I get 8-10 hours of sleep :)
getting 8+ hours of sleep is the best!!!
Hi thank you so much for this video, I love this, morning routines are my fav videos of yours!!! I usually wanted up anywhere between 7am-8am. Also I love when you say what’s on your heart, it’s truly the Holy Spirit speaking through u :)
This channel has really inspired me to start a quiet time again! I do best with reading the Bible at night and try to make it a nightly routine. Thank you so much for this channel and the content that blesses so many!!! God Bless
The shots in this were AMAZING!!!! OH MY GOODNESS! I so wanted to pause after each little one to enjoy the aesthetic. God is so so good. Thanks for helping us to enjoy His beauty in EVERY which way! Love you!! Hugs! 😘🧡🔆🌻🤗🌄
Awwwww thank you friend 😭😭😭❤️❤️ praise God for making us creative beings!!!!
Thank you for this content everyone could relate 😊
So encouraging!!! Thank you
Thank you for the encouragement💗
this definitely spoke to me. my phone is my biggest distraction! for a few weeks now, I’ve had the thought of fasting in my mind to really seek God and have a bigger desire for Him.. and etc. but this distraction mixed with maybe laziness and fear that I don’t have enough faith to fast has been getting in the way of me actually starting my fast. ive been really struggling with reading the Word and with seriously seeking Him with my all/ dealing with my sin. thanks for the encouragement, pls keep me in your prayers :)
Thank you for encouraging us. God bless you
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the encouragement❤
We should start somewhere and keep going
Even if you don't understand something if you keep trying God will meet you half way and help you understand the Word💞💯
i'm sleeping around 10pm-11pm and wake up 4:00am, then spend time with God until 6am. i'm 12 years old! :)
Yey!!! I miss your vlogs, thanks for this. Still patiently requesting for night routine vlog ❤ God bless us all!
Thank you for requesting! I will have this in mind! I don't have much of a night time routine at the moment! It would be a boring video!
I was so encouraged (as I do with all your other videos) and I just want to thank you for just always letting the Lord use you and your platform the way He does! God bless you...but the ending 🤣😂 I really need to meet you, you are so authentically you, I love it! 😅❤️
This is timely for me! I was having a hard time to give up my distractions and now willing to do something about it. ❤️ Thanks Ash!
Big Amen! I've been struggling with this again! 😔
Hello Ashley! My biggest distraction is my phone and my I Pad and that gets me into bed later. I usually go to bed around 3 or 3:30AM and get up around noon or soon but I can't have a regular schedule cause my husband works until 10 PM so everything is done at night and into the mid morning hours.
Hi! This was the first thing I watched this morning!! I am thankful that you shared this with us! I’m new to the Christian Faith and I was struggling to get into my Bible. I’ve been slowly getting into more than I used to but I want to be consistent and hearing how you did has helped me know where to start! I would always watch your videos thinking wow she has it all together and she can get into her Bible in no time! Thank you again! I needed to hear this! ❤️ Have a blessed day!
Hey! Il also a new born Christian …. Getting the blue book has been a game changer in my spiritual life.
