    Some days I am filled with longing, wishing I'd had some clue that life didn't have to be rushed and crazed and consumed with consuming...in the days when midlife seems like the end, and I am plagued with thoughts that I have wasted my life, that still, small voice reminds me that although we, as humans, waste so much, God wastes nothing, even lives that often feel spent and wasted. My second half-century is so full of joy and promise and your videos really help me lean into that reassurance. I am SO excited about James' channel! I will be watching and learning!

    I joke with my husband that he married an easy wife. I haven't been to a salon in 8 years. I do/did my hair myself. Im trying to grow it out. I've never had a manicure or pedicure in my entire life. I too am a simplist.
    1. I try and fix what gets broken
    2. I buy from garage sales and thrift stores but if I have to buy new, it's off brands from Walmart, Aldies and Save a Lot.
    3. We downsized to a small house we call our "cabin" that has pallet wood for trim. It's very rustic and cozy. We also have a garden.
    4. We've learned to eat leftovers several times a week.
    5. I make most meals from scratch.
    6. We hunt deer, turkey, Rabbits etc.
    7. I use little makeup now and make my own face cream using coconut oil and frankincense.
    8. We do our own yard work including mowing and shoveling snow and raking leaves.
    9. Vacations are usually camping in a tent on state land.
    10. We don't have cable TV. Just internet and we use free apps or share with others.
    11. We never finance cars. We buy used.
    12. When we were raising our 4 kids, I stayed home. We never relied on babysitters. Best decision ever!!
    Bottom line is God gives us everything in our life. We are appreciative and try to be good stewards of what He gives. I have learned to not complain because complaining is a fast ticket to get things taken from you to learn a lesson.. We have also learned to share with others and help others. Our money and time are not ours. Its God's. What little we have, we try and give. We may be poor in the eyes of American society but we have learned valuable lessons no money can buy. Mainly faith, humility and empathy.
    Thank you for your Godly example of Biblical womanhood ❤

    I think that if more people would slow down and listen to the LORD YAH that they would hear HIM say, slow down, learn certain skills, know the land, grow and prepare your own food. We had prayed for many year's for HIM to get us out of town and bless us with a home with land. We're a family of 5, our house is small, we have a big barn now, a lot of land and our garden got bigger. Our chickens have more room to free range and when the LORD wills us, we will get more animals. He has pressed us to learn more about living off the land and knowing what to do in difficult situations and how to survive with less stuff.
    I love how you said you're a simplest. That describes us perfectly. ❤
    I faithfully believe He is preparing us for a big change. Lean completely on the Most High YAH and HE will see us through whatever this world is about to throw at us. 🙏

    Right now we are saving for a wood fireplace because in PA mountains we lose power. Once for 10 days my neighbor told us! So being next to the mountain it seems to make the most sense. Fishing through needs and wants make a huge difference! Blessings Sister in Christ!

    • @maren807

      Wood stoves are a huge blessing in the winter, for sure. We moved into a rural area that also loses power several times in the winter, and our wood stove is a life saver! I pray you can get one soon 😊.
      For firewood, my husband looks online for free wood and finds it a lot! He put away a year's worth of wood for no cost! We did invest in a log splitter, though 😊. We are in our 50's so ax chopping wood is not as easy as it used to be 😅.

      We're in north central PA, almost on the NY border. We live on top of one of the higher HILLS in our area. Very windy at times. We use wood heat, but but very rarely lose electric. Tri County is our provider up here, down in the valley is penelec. They actually do a very good job at fixing electrical problems pretty quickly around here.

I did want to say, I am not sure that they recommend using glass pots directly on the heat - I typically boil water on the stove in kettle or pan, then pour hot water into the glass teapot. Don’t know if this helps. I appreciate you and your messages…I think of you often!

    So true! We live in the Scottish Highlands and have to pay quite a bit extra for delivery, which is a huge incentive to take care of things and attempt repairs before ordering replacements. I know it's probably silly, but sometimes I feel quite proud of how resourceful we've become as a family since moving from London, where access to nearly everything was at our fingertips. Hope it warms up for you soon!

We’ve been discussing the same issues. May the Lord lead and guide.

    I'm old enough to be your mother, and have been a knitter for almost 64 years. Do you knit? Do you sew your own garments? Do you know how to needle-felt your own dryer balls? All of these practices are very tactile and the processes are rhythmic and meditative. Ditto for quilting (by hand and/or machine) and spinning. Check out the turtleneck you were wearing; is it made of a synthetic fibre? Have you the ability to line dry your clothes? (I wish I did.) Just some thoughts. Blessings to you for all you are doing to live simply and sustainably.

    Excellent video! I too am a”Simplist”. Reusing, repurposing, sharing and passing on are all things I have done for a very long time. Simplifying my house cleaning products was easy. Simplifying my beauty routine has been easy, as well. I’m a foodie so that has been a hard one. I DO, often, cook once and eat twice. So I guess you could say that I have simplified my food. I have a garden and chickens. I make a lot of fermented foods…sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha, fermented fruits and vegetables, sourdough bread, wine, apple soda and fermented lemonade. Instead of movies and dinner out, my husband and I walk the woods, maybe poke around an antique store and practice with fire arms. When I need a change in my home decor, I shop my attic first. I forget how many beautiful treasures I have under my own roof! Keep up the great work!

  • @debby891
    @debby891 11 месяцев назад +5

    I loved how you said “I’m not a minimalist, I’m a simplest “. That was very profound for me. I don’t consider myself a maximalist and as one that treasures pieces of the past, loves primitive items I use what I have and it brings me peace and comfort. I’ve never been one for clothes, shoes, jewelry, manicures, pedicures, going to beauty shops but I do love my candles. They make our home cozy and help me to relax. We don’t eat out, do fast food, etc as I enjoy cooking. I really enjoyed this and makes you really think about how we live in our homes, with our furbabies (all seven of them).❤❤

    Lea, I would really appreciate it if you could make a playlist of your diy beauty products and practices. It is very difficult to find them and dig through them to be able to take action.
    I also appreciate your maintenance of your Amazon store front so I can purchase products and know that you will be compensated for the recommendation.
    I would never have thought to use a glass teapot on the stove as you do. I would have used it by pouring hot water into it and allowing it to steep before pouring my tea. I imagine that your teapot has come with instructions telling you that it is safe to use it as you do.
    It would seem to me that it only makes sense that it would need to be replaced every once in a while just as a glass coffee carafe will also eventually break... not because of misuse, but because it is fragile and like everything else in this world, it will eventually wear out. Please don't feel badly for having to replace your teapot.
    I always appreciate learning about what helps others to manage their homes well and how they care for their health and the health of their families.
    Some cooking videos and why you are making the choices to eat what you eat would be helpful for those of us who are trying to regain our health.
    I truly appreciate all of the things that you are making priorities for your life. I have a tremendous respect for you and James for caring about your aging parents and wanting to be a part of their lives. Sadly, that is not often the case, even within the "Christian" community.
    You are choosing well, Dear Sister and Brother!!! May God bless you and keep you safe in His Care!!!

    I am super excited for your husband's new channel. My husband and I adopted a dog that has a lot of health issues. He is doing so much better than a year ago when we first got him, but I know we can do more once I get the right information 🤗.

    I love the wool felted balls for the dryer. It is such a great way to eliminate the chemical dryer sheets.

    I love the term simplist ❤ trying to be that, my family and I are getting ready to move in with my parents because rent and everything has unfortunately gotten too much and we are having a hard time keeping up. Thank God my parents are opening up their home and lives for us 🙏

      This is happening to so many.
      It’s tough but also can be a huge blessing!
      Both our sons moved in with us for a bit while getting a family business started and I loved every minute of it!
      Many cultures have generational homes and I think it is a shame that it is looked down upon in ours.
      Blessings to you and your family. 💕🙏

      @flamingofan5411 I love how other cultures have generational homes. It's really sad how in ours people are viewed as failures if they have to move back to the parents' house. My husband and I have always said that if our kids need to move back in when they're older, they'll be more than welcome. We would much rather that they be home and safe than out in the world somewhere struggling.

    Dear Lea, I have enjoyed your channel and listening to your faith in God. My boyfriend and I are also childless and we are just try to live a simple life and enjoy cooking together. We used to have a black lab. Well, we may get in to biking this spring and summer if we fix our bikes. But we live a simple life getting beer and getting groceries weekly. Lately I'm rediscovering my roots in Chinese cooking. We live in the city and I enjoy living vicariously through your mountain life on RUclips. In Christ Leona

    Awesome tips and suggestions....we have done many of the same. Several years ago when I was wanting to change to the wool balls, we just didn't have the money for even a small pack of two, I mentioned it to a older sister and she suggested tennis balls...I found a 4 pack at the dollar store and have been using them since. We do lots of diy's and that saves so much...always cook at home. Again another wonderful video ❤

    Absolutely love videos like this. I love seeing others actually put all of these things into practice. I am so very tired of the clutter in my home. I long for simple living because I know that it is healthier for our minds and our bodies. I get so mentally drained in this world. I can feel the physical toll it takes on me. Soon I will be out in the country and away from all of the clutter. 😊🙏🙌

    This is one of the few channels where i hit the "like" button the second the video starts :) I love all your videos but especially the longer ones. Thank you for providing me with some beauty and peace in my stressful day. I will often listen to your videos while i work then actually watch them after work/after dinner. It is balm for the soul.
    The snow is beautiful. I don't miss shoveling but i miss looking at it since moving to florida from RI 10 years ago .
    Glass teapot - i gave up on those- broke 2. I only use a stainless steel electric kettle now and it is a game changer - quick tea and unbreakable! :)
    Thrifty homemaking - I am continually working on being more thrifty and being contented with what i have. My decor is pretty minimalist but i do buy things if i feel i need them (or really really want them). But I struggle with book buying. I spend too much on books and want to just appeciate the ones i already have. Thank you for all the reminders on being stewards of what we've been given. You have some wonderful goals ! May God bless you!
    I look forward to James' channel !

    Lea,
    I am subscribed to over a hundred channels, but I rarely comment. (I had no idea my subscriptions number were so many until I was scrolling through them to find yours and a couples others that hadn't made it past YT's algorithms for a while, ones I try to watch/listen to at least once a week- I definitely will have to weed that list!)
    But I have to thank you for yours. You always have wisdom that that I can take away, and your quiet simple style just soothes. And this latest "ten things I no longer buy" is no exception: that praying with the dogs is genius!
    I always feel like I am intruding a bit -- yours is clearly a channel intended for women -- I imagine you and your other subscribers regularly getting together in a church basement or each other's homes. And, well, a old fallen man like me has no business being there, but I find I need the wisdom and tranquility you share about daily life on your mountain with James, your dogs, and your chickens. And now Thuji (12 y.o. Lhasa) and I need to watch so he and I will know when James starts his dog channel! 🐶🙂
    God bless you all!

    I have found a new joy in thrifting and here in Australia we call it "op shopping"(opportunity shopping) the amazing well made things you find for a fraction of the price is incredible. One thing the Lord has placed on my heart whenever I purchase anything whether brand new or otherwise is to pray over each item, food as well and ask that if there is any evil or curses attached to them are purged of evil and washed and covered with the saviours blood. Love these videos Lea. ❤❤

    I found less is more..
    hubby and I will tend to have a date night that consists of lots of pillows in the back of the ute, we take food and go find a mountain, sit in the back of the ute and watch the sun set. its our favourite date night.. so simple..

    I love how you encourage your husband, and carry God's peace. I am excited to be in the season of homemaking someday. My husband and I are in our first year of marriage (4 months) and are training to be missionaries. So it will be a while before we believe God will have us settle down into one spot. I love making little notes about how you are living and implementing it how I can.

    Love your videos so much! You are so inspiring!! This video has me thinking about my goals and where my money is going. Saving for my future is so important. I never had the opportunity to do that before because I always had student debt, rent, car payment… and so on. I still have a car payment but my goal is to get it paid off ASAP. I think I can truly accomplish that by cutting unnecessary spending and asking the Lord to guide me in being a better steward with my resources. Thank you so much Leigh. I wish I could meet you in person one day and pray with you ❤️
