I love this video...I have it on my rewatch Playlist and have probably listened to it 8 times. Very helpful to get me back on track with what really matters in life. I'm so glad you're back on youtube!
Love this!!! Sometimes I look at my generation and get so disheartened with how obsessed people are with appearances, brands, instagram etc. It's great to here you speaking GOD'S truth so eloquently and with such a kind heart!
I’m not sure how to articulate just how much your message has spoken to my soul. Thank you so much for sharing such wisdom. I’m a new subscriber and I thank God for you.
Wonderful encouragement, Joy. We all need to be reminded to be content with having enough instead of discontent with not having a whole bunch of stuff we don't need. There is such a big difference between "need" and "want", and we tend to confuse the two, to our detriment. Having enough is enough. Anything extra is a huge bonus.
I absolutely feel called to live like this but my husband doesn't and it's frustrating. We are struggling to cover all the bills with both of our incomes (I work from home coaching ladies) and I want so badly to get our monthly expenses and needs to be below what he makes. It's hard....gotta keep praying and trusting God with this one.
I agree that it is humbling when we see how little some others have. It shows me at least how much I do have to be grateful for..thank you for sharing this video
Oh sister, that comparison thing keeps rearing its ugly head with me too. I have to constantly renew my mind and turn away from comparison! Thanks for being here with me. :)
It is SO hard. I have had to unfollow several people because I am not strong enough to remain content while viewing certain people's lives. :) Thanks for watching this and taking the time to comment! You are wonderful.
So enjoying listening to your talks. We have so much in common.. Homeschooling. Mission work.. Frugality. Fostercare.. Kingdom focused.. Thank you for helping to fill a need for my heart that is hungry for fellowship w kindred souls!
I have been doing the Timothy study with the LGG group and that passage stuck out to me so boldly when I read it.... I love that this connects with that for me. What a great word you have shared today! Thank you dear one!
1 Timothy 6: 6-7 has been a recurring theme in my heart this year. The resounding theme has been to count and appreciate the blessings God has given us, and to respond in gratitude and giving with joy. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video with a great message Joy!!! Truly enjoyed it and the story of the little lady you visited touched my heart!!! Please let her know that our family in Alabama is praying for you!! And we are always praying for you and your family Joy!! Truly enjoy your videos and they always touch my heart and bless me so much!
Wow Joy I'm so convicted. Thank you for the example you are setting for me. Can u walk through how you went from loving to spend money to being eternally minded? Was it a long process? Certain events or people who helped the process? I plan to talk to Jesus about how much I struggle with discontentment. Thank u!
Such encouraging words! I'm going to have to pray and evaluate what resources I'm not using for Him, and what things are unnecessary in this life. So true about perspective! Thanks for sharing.
I love your channel. Your heart and love for the Lord shows through and I just love that. Such truth. Very convicted by what you said in this video. I'm weeding out idols and it's hard.
This has been very encouraging! I have been really wanting to be more content and to be more minimal. It has been so hard not buying new clothes when mine feel raggedy. But I have clothes, I have food, I have a home and can pay bills and enjoy some indulgences. I'm blessed. When I want a new shirt I have been telling myself to make due and use what I have as best as I can. Thank you for this lovely message. It just confirms my thoughts and the way the Lord is leading me in this season.💕
Thank you for this wise and godly perspective, Joy! This was helpful to me today, as my husband is nearing retirement and we are planning to sit down tonight and plan for the future.
Joy - this message was just beautiful. And so absolutely true! I'm traveling to Uganda this summer to work for a little over a week and I cannot wait! I'm expecting BIG changes to my perspective after the trip. Blessings, friend! :)
I really enjoyed this video and needed the message! It is so so easy to fall into the trap of always wanting more. I admire how humble you are and how you choose to live your life.
You have such a good way with words! This was wonderful and exactly how I feel! I'm always looking for ways I can help others. I want my love for God to pour out of me through helping others. Thank you for sharing this was so beautiful ❤❤ God Bless xoxo
Love this video. A mentor friend of mine told me "when is good enough, good enough"? It's a good thought when applied to finances and things. Most of us definitely have "enough".
Joy, your words touched me so much! I really think that way! I love to listen to your videos! Thank you so much for that inspirational way of living! Wish you the best
You are awesome! We try and save money whenever we can so we can use our saved money to go on the offensive towards achieving our goals on our channel! Thank you for the amazing video!
Joy, thank you very much for reminding me this hard truth today... I want to live daily with God's Kingdom in mind but it sure is not easy. it takes going against the grain all the time and not many people around me understand that. Watching you is like listening to a best fiend who I wish I had around here in Warsaw :-) Keep recording... have a great week
Joy, I just love your videos. Going to make a list today, thank you! What I am wondering is, do you think you would be as comfortable living simple and frugal in the states? It just seems that it would be easier where there is such a lack or lower standard of living? Any thoughts? God bless you!!
When you're done doing the missionary thing, consider piloting for billionaires. I have a family member flying a billionaire around...some of them make more than 350grand x year tax free depending on where the billionaire is located.
I love this video...I have it on my rewatch Playlist and have probably listened to it 8 times. Very helpful to get me back on track with what really matters in life. I'm so glad you're back on youtube!
Hey Joy, I'm not a christian but I adore your beautiful outlook on life. Thank you for sharing your heart
Love this!!! Sometimes I look at my generation and get so disheartened with how obsessed people are with appearances, brands, instagram etc. It's great to here you speaking GOD'S truth so eloquently and with such a kind heart!
Thank you for refreshing my perspective! :)

Amen! I am still learning this, but there is so much freedom that comes with contentment. Bless you today, sister.
I think God smiles when he sees contentment in our lives
Truthfulness and truthfulness is the ticket
I am old enough to be your grandmother and I am so glad to have found your channel

I've been struggling with comparison and that leads to discontentment. Thank you for this gentle reminder💕
Oh sister, that comparison thing keeps rearing its ugly head with me too. I have to constantly renew my mind and turn away from comparison! Thanks for being here with me. :)
Love! I think as women we see things on Instagram or Facebook and compare....it's hard to find contentment.
It is SO hard. I have had to unfollow several people because I am not strong enough to remain content while viewing certain people's lives. :) Thanks for watching this and taking the time to comment! You are wonderful.

So true-after helping at a night shelter for the homeless I was very happy and content to go home to my comfy bed!
Yes! It puts everything into perspective, doesn't it?! Thanks for helping in the night shelter, what an amazing ministry.
So needed to hear this!!! Thank you!
God bless!

It just seems that it would be easier where there is such a lack or lower standard of living?
Any thoughts?

Could you do a video update on your 2017 no spend challenge? I wonder how it went !

When you're done doing the missionary thing, consider piloting for billionaires. I have a family member flying a billionaire around...some of them make more than 350grand x year tax free depending on where the billionaire is located.
I'm just saving to buy a brand new car and then be broke again lol
