My biggest antidote that I've found for envy and discontentment with my life is intentional thankfulness: God, thank you that I have a good mattress to sleep on, and an air conditioner, and a beautiful home, and hot showers and amenities like hot chocolate, and a working stove and oven and washer and dryer and microwave and real toilets and running water and clean water and beautiful clothes and pets and vehicles, esp. dependable ones. Thank You for amazing people to work for, and the job you've provided, and nail polish in my favorite colors, and incredible friends, and freedom to worship You openly, and to tell others about you, and that I'm surrounded by believers. Thank you for my extended family, and thank you for the fact that all of my immediate family is alive and well, and that I found a cheap plane ticket to see my bestie. The list is endless when we start. Basically, realizing how good I really do have it helps me to stop wanting others lives. Also, limiting my time that I spend looking at social media and everyone's highlight reels has helped to not have an unrealistic expectation that I should be socializing and travelling and tan and drinking coffee and spiritually on a high/full of perspective alllll the time. I love you guys, and I'm glad you're doing RUclips! Your humility about not having all the answers and about your mistakes is one of my favorite things about y'all.♡
I feel like it's hard for me to be focused on God, all I think about is my future husband (I'm single btw) but it's this constant need of having a 'best friend' that will be always there for me and share my life with him and be there for him. I notice that this is not only taking my focus off of God but also I'm idealizing my future husband. Did this ever happened to you too? How did you prevent it and regained your focus on God?
think about this: by focusing on God, you are doing what is best for yourself. God will give you an amazing man if you worship Him. God will always be there for you and He will bless your life if you stay loyal to your faith. Do these things and try not to worry about a future husband so much because God has already worked it all out. He has a plan for all of us. Anything you worry about, Jesus has already figured out. Lean on Him and you will be in good hands:)
I’m right there too, friend. It’s something I think about a lot - for me, to the point of idolatry. Biblically the only thing we can do about this is to surrender these thoughts and desires to God, and to seek Him first and foremost; and not because then He will give us what we want, namely a boyfriend / significant other / spouse, but because He desires to know us fully and to satisfy us with Himself. It’s not easy!! It’s a lot of inner struggle and wrestling through prayer with God, constantly giving Him those desires (bc I know I fail time and time again with the same sins). But knowing Christ is the greatest love we could ever know, more than even the most godly spouse could ever do for us (Philippians 3:7-21).
@@michellereames1680 wow thanks a lot! It has already helped and also you made me realize that it's not an instant thing and that I'm not alone in the struggle ❤️
Oh, my gosh! I’m so happy you guys came out with this video! My question to you Sutton is: How did you know you were in love with Nate? Was there any specific moment or indications that meant love for you? And why? Thank you! Baby Oak is the cutest, and so happy to see him healthy!
when/ how did you decide that you were ready to start dating and looking for a spouse? were there some specific things/character traits in your life that you wanted solidified first?
What a beautiful family!!! Such lovely people you guys are!!! You guys have such great topics and great content!!! It’s so refreshing and have faith there’s still wonderful people out there like you two!!!
You guys are hilarious 😂 excited to get to know you guys better! Questions: have you ever been on a missions trip? What is your stance on birth control?
I admire your marriage and family. Thank you for your godly advices. You are all three really gorgeous. I do like the chemistry between all three of you. Many blessings for you.
ohh man I love you guys! So real and authentic. God bless your beautiful family!! Baby Oaklan is just wayyyy to cute, I want to squeeze his cheeks!!! Sending you all much love xx
Y'all are so cute!!! These videos are so nice to hear and seeing your Testimony of waiting gives hope! Blessings all the way from Toronto, Canada!! Question: Any advice for people who are single, now that you are married?
Can you two do a workout video or health video I guess you could call it? What you two eat maybe, how often you exercise because clearly you two are fit! I love your channel, hour baby is adorable and you’re so blessed to have found one another! I’m so happy for you
What’s the biggest lesson God has taught you in your life? What do you do to stay humble? And how’d y’all meet?? Great video your intro is just awesome!!
Thank you for answering my question I'm going through premarital counseling right now and it's really helping us understanding each other before we get married in 2021
The way you talk about God and the ways you love him is so inspirational. Thanks for sharing so much of your hearts. Also did y’all grow up in a Christian home if so what made you want to take your faith into your own hands? If not how did you find God?
I have found that when I compliment others about something that I wish I had, it truly gives me freedom to be happy for them (that they have nice hair, face, car, house whatever it might be) instead of being envious about it and it helps me to move on. Also thanks for the advices God bless you guys
That was such a great topic & I know that envy & jealousy can creep in more as you get older bc you will start comparing what you’ve accomplished to how farther ahead others are. It’s so important to look vertical & not horizontal. And all of our wants & needs are already met bc God goes before us. God gives appropriate blessings at various stages in our lives. We may not have (fill in the blank) bc he’s not done preparing us for that yet. I don’t know anyone who actually walks with the Lord who could say their basic needs aren’t being met. Whenever I start thinking about a bigger house or a newer car I drive through a “bad” neighborhood or visit a nursing home. We have to find contentment & be generous in our giving to others.
i discovered you guys today and I love y’all. Your story and love for the God is so impactful. The lord has rlly ministered me through you guys. Can’t wait to see more. But question, when did you guys decide to follow the lord and where you guys from?
God bless you 3, your such a beautiful family, I love your video intro and it looks like you guys have a lot of fun, My question for you is what do you guys like to do for fun on your free days?
Nate and Sutton, you’re both such genuine godly people and I’m so grateful for your influence. I’m sure it’s not easy to put your life out there. Know that you are a positive outlet for me and I’m sure so many others. Thank you for what you do! Ps. Oak reminds me of baby Hercules from the original cartoon. He is so precious
I love the quote Jesus+nothing=everything!!! I want to hear more. I agree as a mother I see how God would respond to me as his child since I have children.
For your Q&A vid, this isn't really a question but do you have advice on starting an online ministry like advice for putting yourself out there as a Christian youtuber because that's what I'm trying to do :)) also I adore you guys so much 💕
O my god!! You people are so beautiful and lovely!! God bless you... And thank you for spreading so beautiful thoughts, and positivitys and your pure feelings... I love you People.. I love you so much... ❤
Thx for doing an Q&A! How did you decide or know you are ready to have a child? Did you use birth control? My husband and I are married for almost a year and we do not feel ready to start a family but do you ever feel ready? :D
I found you guys yesterday, RUclips “suggested” one of your videos so here I am, binge watching all your videos and OMG is that t-shirt from Costa Rica? Like...did you guys come to Costa Rica?
you three are amazing! my question: what is your opinion on drinking alkohol as a christian? alkohol isn't bad itself, right? then when is it too much? thanks :)
In your next Q&A video, could you talk about the ideal relationship with in-laws? Maybe about healthy boundaries or how to handle overbearingness? I am sure your family watches your videos so I guess that could be personal. You could give general advice on how to have a successful relationship with in-laws without suggesting anything regarding a current possible situation. Or if you have great relationships then how to achieve that! Thanks for reading and for making content
Whats a good way to have the conversation about waiting till marriage with a potential partner? As in setting the boundaries and asking about past experiences.
Question for Q&A: “What advice would you give a male that’s in love with a girl who got abused in the past?” I found my way to Christ last year, and the Lord spoke to me about this particular girl at church. She works with kids and she’s in the worship team. At first glance she just seems perfect (at least to me). But every time I try getting close to her it seems as if I’m pushing her further away. Later on I heard her testimony and it made me realize that I should cool it with my approach. I used to be in the world... And I can tell she kind of likes me, but I’m still unsure wether to approach her again or just leave it in God’s hands and hope that she may approach me.
You two are such a light to the world. I absolutely love your videos and everything you have to say! Have ya'll ever the Book of Mormon? I am curious to hear what your thoughts/opinions are on it.
For sure, your life's look pretty perfekt! But I know as a Christian no life is that easy, but with God it's easier to go through diffucult times and we seem and are more happier than others may be. Thank you lovely guys!! I don't will see you in this life, because I am from Austria but I hope I can meet you in heaven 🤗😅 this would be so nice 😍
Please make a video on how to know who to marry (Christian traits of a female and male to make men and women know that they are marriage material that's biblical) and how to get a girlfriend or boyfriend (Who will later become a wife or husband) in the Church thanks!
You guys are awesome let me tell you why, its very rear to find a down to earth cool, good looking couple to be so focused on all the right things. Most young couples that are into important things like family, God... are usually nerdy you guys are mad cool and should have at least 50 million views per video.
Thank you so much for this video , it’s very helpful for me and it’s really awesome heard RUclipsr talking about this topic , because, we are in the other side of the screen and something we don’t realice that you also go though the same thighs that us. Sorry for my English I’m still learning 🙃
Am telling you this I don't sware but honestly baby Oakland is killing me😅😅😅 he's such a sweetie pie.... He's the only one I was focusing on sorry guys I had to watch again to really focus on what u guys were saying loool...
Jesus+Nothing=Everything
I've gotta remember that one
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalms 23:1 KJV ❤️
