    This video really touched me! I live in an apartment, alone, in the suburbs. And, about a year ago, I started to feel the pull to slower, more meaningful, intentional living, after finding your channel, and a few others that are similar. Since then, I have slowly morphed my surroundings into a softer, more gentle environment, reverting back to older ways of life (breadmaking, nourishing foods, baking, canning), and decreasing my screentime, TV, and the types of content I am injesting. It has made a world of difference in my life. Thanks for sharing your content, it has helped so many of us find a greater sense of peace. Be blessed! ❤🙏

      God bless you Sara. Same for me.
      Although I'm 71yo Grannie from South Australia. My life is already slowing down. But I'm doing the same thing with my home. Life is busy but we do need to see the beauty around us.
      Lea is wise, relaxing and incredibly artistic isn't she?

      @lisamckenzie1207 Yes, this is my life too, only I'm in a major city and am healing from a recent painful deception. Embracing God's word and hope for His plan for my life, while trying to slow down helps me heal. There is comfort for me in this life through God and this network He is building through people like Lea. Thank you, Lea!

    I learned that slow life lesson almost too late. I was a workaholic and knew I was about to hit the wall I finally made the decision to get out of working altogether at the age of 60 because what I didn't know was that I had developed a blood clot and not just a small one but it was the whole vein. I shouldn't have survived but by the grace of God, I did. So, whatever is stressing you out stop and think is it worth it. The answer is no. Slower living and mindful living is the right choice.

    This really touch my spirit. I'm so glad to be apart of this like minded community where all the good gifts in life are from the Almighty God through his son Jesus Christ and not all good gifts are material; peace of mind, peace of heart, peace of spirit are a gift and blessing from Jah. May we all continue to draw close to God and he will draw close to us, Jas.4:8

    @carlabyley7983 Год назад +13

    After working most of my adult life in a very chaotic, and emotionally charged profession...I knew that a slower paced, intentional, meditative, God centered life was what I needed. My husband and I retreated in retirement to a calming cabin in the woods. The best decision ever ft or us. Thanks for spreading the good news, there is a better way.

  • @quietlife7186
    @quietlife7186 Год назад +12

    One of my favorite verses in the scriptures. I have been pursuing the quiet life for many years now. While I lack many things that the world and loved ones think are necessary, I have His Peace that passes all human understanding and that guards my heart in Christ Jesus. I lack nothing! I am Full! He is Enough! I am enough because I am found in Him.
    Sending you love and prayers for our Lord's continuous keeping of your heart, mind, body and spirit for His Honor and His Glory 🙏💕😘.

    I am dreaming of a quiet life. I have got rid of WiFi from my house, just for the summer, and while I have to do so much of my work from the library, I enjoy coming home and simply...messing around trying to learn the guitar, or chatting with my roommate, or reading books!

  • @Lynandherlilfriends

    Thanks for this video Le. My husband asked me today whose RUclipsr now, I am following and watching. I told him, it is you and he agreed that your videos are peaceful and encouraging. We live in Suburb NorCaL and I work 9 hours a day but with 1 Monday off every other week. As you mentioned, wherever we are we can start a gentle living. I believe that the environment we live in is one factor on how we live. I always stay at home if I am not at my regular job. Spend time with my husband, attending to our chickens, bunnies (we have new babies today 😊) and quail. Also, gardening and doing household work. My friend(s) will tell me that I should go out and have fun and enjoy life. What they don't understand is that working in the garden, attending our pets and spending time with my husband are my joy. Most importantly, gardening and attending to our animals is my quiet moment where I can spend time with God while enjoying what I am doing. Like at night, after I tucked the pets in their respective safety places, I would stay outside and sit in a wooden chair inside our chicken run or in the garden, enjoy the breeze of the wind, staring at the moon and stars and talk to God.

    I aspire to live “slow” and “gentle” one day. I am so anxious and feel like I live how others want me to live, I wanna go off and do things my way and breathe while worrying less. I’m 22 and can’t believe hoe tense I am everyday, I feel it in my body and it bothers me.

    It is not perfect, but we must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good, I've heard it said. And, I agree. The simpler life is far, far better. Slowing down is far, far better. Growing your own food is far, far better. We need not pretend perfection; just greater enjoyment of life.

To be still and Know that he is God. We all need that stillness so much especially in these times. Thank you again Lea for this timely video. ❤❤❤

  • @ingridrichardson4880
    @ingridrichardson4880 Год назад +3

    I love how you referred to aesthetics and not needing the perfect setting to lead a slower and more gentle life. I am so guilty at times of thinking I can't live slower because I don't live in the country or an isolated enough environment, and I'm all too guilty of coveting what I see on social media. This really spoke to me ❤

    Wisdom comes from Experience :) Sometimes it is going through the dark parts of our journey that allows us to really appreciate the little things, embracing a gentle life, being even more grateful. Even seeds once sprouted need a little help to make it through the life cycle of the plant. Bless you and thank you for sharing with us.

    Your words are so true. You are so wise, honest and humble. I experienced the same thing as by living now on a very quiet island for the last zeventeen months but it was all but quiet what I had to go through. Mentally. While enjoying the simple life very much. Your words that the scarriest part is not at all the big, new, unknown but the things you have to let go, so true.

      Having a large family does carry with it a little chaos…that’s okay. I’m a mom of 5 and one thing that’s helped immensely is having systems for household duties.
      Another help is having routine and schedules…that can be adapted easily.
      I also have a huge copper kettle and I write down little things on scratch paper or napkins or whatever, when the kids do something cute or funny or just something I want to remember. I throw the scraps in the kettle and on New Year’s Eve every year we pull them out and read them.
      Just take a second to be super present… lock in the smell of toddler hair, and teenage squeaky voices, grade school gap teeth and the first week of having a newborn. Literally take a deep breath while you focus on the smell, texture and sight of each thing and event. Snapshot that in your mind…and take snapshots of things you hope to happen to!
      Peace be with you 🩷

    Would you talk more about your journey coming from an abusive relationship and finding God and gentle slow living? I have been out of a very extreme domestic violence situation (lasted 14 years) for 9 months now. I need some help and advice. I’ve found that my body cannot run at much of a pace anymore, my body failed me and I ended up with a number of health problems. I am just discovering that extremely slow gentle living is all my body will allow me to do now. I’d love to hear more about your journey and how you got to where you are now

    God has already predestined the life of the body. You just simply focus on God. God wants you to just be. The devil wants you to change the world and everything around you, wants you to be busy. God made this world perfect. You as spirit just use this body for 100 years. In these 100 years you have to give up your ego and love God only. Everyone is guided by God through different paths. Everyone has some kind of interest in the world and God tries to let you know that your only interest needs to be Him. There is nothing else than God. So everyone is on a different level interested in the world and God. But hardly nobody is only interested in loving God only. Those are the lovers of God. The rest are lovers of the world.
