I am a grandmother that just started homeschooling my seven-year-old granddaughter. We took her out of a Christian private school due to being bullied. She is really thriving here at home with me. I’m finding all the missing pieces and filling those holes. I was looking at the good in the beautiful because she learns through art, your review brought me to your channel. I subscribed and I’ve stayed because I am just so impressed with the young mother that you are, and what you were doing. I’ve shared your channel with both my adult, daughters and my adult daughter-in-law. I’m extremely bless the lord, lead me to your channel. Thank you for your faithfulness, and all that you share.
They say statistically a person can only do 1 or 2 things well. When you add more than that- you do all things mediocre. I fully encourage you to let go of added burdens and expectations on yourself. Motherhood and wife are more than enough and to do it well it’s about all most of us can handle! This coming from a mama who feels all you are expressing and evaluating how to simplify as well. God bless
I think letting the algorithm go is very wise. I’m right there with you. My goal is 1 or 2 a month. We can do this! Choose our own posting schedule and not worry about what the algorithm machine dictates. 👏🏻👏🏻
Gods been pulling at me so similar. I have been pulled big time. ❤❤❤❤ I cry almost daily… it’s been a journey of grief and priorities and God putting me back in line. You do what God tells you to do! ❤
Sounds like we are struggling with something similar. I just shared today how I want to be intentional with one on one with my kids this year. And connecting with my kiddos, because our weeks are so full, I need to find time to just BE with them and enjoy them.
Your Amazing !!! Women tend to be so hard on themselves. Its time mothers give themselves the grace and kindness that they give others. I pray your baby startes to sleep through the night.(consider removing all wifi items and unplugging wifi at night .lavender essential oil is safe for babies too from young living.)I love your videos and I will pray for healing in all aspects of your life and all the moms going through this time of struggle and stress.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
So much of this resonates with me Rian. (Side note: I don’t have baby books for 5 of my kids, they have a folder with all their keepsakes 😬) I loved hearing you share your heart and praying for you as you endeavor to focus on family 💜 love you friend!
As much as I love your content, I am so happy you are doing this. I will watch whatever you choose to post, but this is what being led by the Spirit is about. Stopping something, even though it's good, so that you can do what you are called to even better. ❤️❤️❤️
I have enjoyed watching your videos when I have time, but this resonates with me. I also have 4 kids and my third starts kinder next year. It sounds like ours are about the same spacing and that first angel child ruined me for my rest lol our youngest is also a 2021 baby and my hardest baby. I have felt so busy and just needing g to do less. I don’t have RUclips, but we’re a military family and my husband is gone usually 2/3s of the year. All that to say it’s a lot and I feel you in every point that you want to “do better” at. You’re doing great just realizing the need! I just stepped away from an extra I do for those same reasons and am really hoping that extra time equates to more time in the areas that need it most. I hope to see videos when/if you have time.
Your kids are only young once and they need you. You won't regret letting RUclips go so you could pour into your family. Also, for your marriage, I highly recommend the book Irrisistibly Feminine. It transformed my marriage as did Worthy Woman. The author doesn't know it, but he teaches Biblical principles about leadership and submission that is transforming. My marriage is amazing! God bless you.
❤️ to echo everyone else here, I can totally relate! I honestly wonder sometimes, "how do they have any time to do the you tube thing? I just struggle to take a shower every day!" Lol ❤️ I love your channel. You have given me so many tips, tricks, resources, and just general good thoughts to help me along. It is great that you were able to do it and help others out! But your family is your main priority (which is part of the reason why I love hearing your thoughts!). I'm excited for you, to see how God will use this step to hopefully help you relax, enjoy family time, and grow you closer to Him. ❤️ I also resonate with the sad feeling at Christmas. My dad passed away almost three years ago now, it was about this time of year - so the wonder and joy is also laced with a sense of sadness and loss. Praise God that Christ came to destroy all that! I would also recommend a book by Hannah Anderson called Humble Roots. I just know the first chapter will have you hooked. It might be the encouragement you need at the moment ❤️ Thanks again for all your thoughts! And I'll look forward to your next video, when the Lord leads you to it 😊
I can SO RELATE to ALL of this!!! 🙂 I am praying for you and this Journey that you are on, asking The Lord for your Peace during this Season as well as Divine Direction and Discernment for you. ❤️ SO GLAD I found your channel!!!
I have had so many time when I knew the Lord was asking me to say no or to let go of something too! Over time He has taught me that sometimes you have to say no to good things in order to say yes to the best things! I totally respect your decision. I have a feeling you will experience a lot of freedom in this decision! ❤
Don't worry about us viewers! I think we all can relate and we all want the best for you. I always look forward to hearing what you have to share, so I'm happy to hear you aren't completely going away 😊 Take all the time you need and what a treat it will be to hear from you again!
Rian, thank you so much for your transparency and vulnerability. You are such an encouragement! So glad I found your channel this year as I start homeschooling later this year. I’ve really enjoyed your videos about homeschooling and biblical womanhood. You a definitely a voice of truth. Blessings to you in this next season. ❤
The pre teen years are hard but worth it!!! I’m in the pre teens and teenage mode with a kindergartener!!! I’ve tired to do what we did with our older kids with my youngest daughter even though my life Is different especially as my older kids came to daycare with me and went into their classrooms!!! Thankfully we had more than 1 preschool class!!! My 12 year old daughter used to sleep with us till she was 6!!! Don’t worry about video content!!! I’m still going to watch what videos you post!!!
You are doing the right thing. I love your content but completely understand. I am always amazed at how people can do both RUclips and family. Just keeping up on videos is hard enough😅. Blessings to your family and will see you when you do come on!
Sometimes knowing when to quit is the best thing. May God bless you with a renewal of spirit for your life and comfort to your soul. Give yourself that time to morn and find the new dynamics in your family.
Even if you can't get on the floor and read to the littlest one....he has all those brothers to get on the floor and play with him, all those big brothers to read the books to him. Yes, it's different for the youngest of the crew, but he has all the big siblings that the oldest kids didn't have.
Yup. I have five. So I get not having the time to do the memory books. I love your channel, but you have to do whatever the Lord leads you to do. I totally get it. Thank you for all your vids. 🙏😊

Thanks so much. I hate to have to let something go but I am tired of failing in more important areas.

Yeeeeessss! So glad you’re here with me!
Gods been pulling me back to my home. ❤ I have found that cutting out things is key! ❤
Gods prompting is always the best!
Yes, home is #1!
Gods been pulling at me so similar. I have been pulled big time. ❤❤❤❤ I cry almost daily… it’s been a journey of grief and priorities and God putting me back in line.
You do what God tells you to do! ❤
I cry often too. But it’s good to know that he uses grief and heartache to make us more like Christ.❤️
You will never loose us, your stuck with us ❤
😅
I really respect your for setting your priorities straight!! Selfishly I am thankful you will still be present on RUclips! 💜
Haha thanks!
Sounds like we are struggling with something similar. I just shared today how I want to be intentional with one on one with my kids this year. And connecting with my kiddos, because our weeks are so full, I need to find time to just BE with them and enjoy them.
Yes! My oldest is potentially 2/3 through his time at home! 😰 they need me more than YT does!

Thank you! I need him to sleep! 14 months feels like a long time without good sleep lol.
Great reflections! I’ll still be watching when you have new videos. 😊
So good to know!!

Yes, our lives parallel in a lot of ways! I’m thoroughly enjoying that little bit of extra space!

I’ll look into those, thank you!
Love you friend and love you sharing your heart. And yes I relate to the jumping to a different kind of busy all the time
It’s so much sometimes!
I just found you (looking for Biblical womanhood content)...so glad you're not completely gone!
Oh yay! Glad to have you!
❤️ to echo everyone else here, I can totally relate! I honestly wonder sometimes, "how do they have any time to do the you tube thing? I just struggle to take a shower every day!" Lol ❤️

Oh thanks so much, Jolene! You’re always such a faithful viewer! I’ll look into that book!
I hear you on ALL OF THIS! Loved hearing your heart on these things❤️
Thanks, friend!
Love you sister and fully support you ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
Girl, I am so glad you wound up making this video. It was very relatable. 🥰
I’m so glad!
I can SO RELATE to ALL of this!!! 🙂 I am praying for you and this Journey that you are on, asking The Lord for your Peace during this Season as well as Divine Direction and Discernment for you. ❤️ SO GLAD I found your channel!!!

Over time He has taught me that sometimes you have to say no to good things in order to say yes to the best things! I totally respect your decision. I have a feeling you will experience a lot of freedom in this decision! ❤
I hope so!! Yes, letting go of things we want is so hard but vital at times!
Everything in its season.
Don't worry about us viewers! I think we all can relate and we all want the best for you. I always look forward to hearing what you have to share, so I'm happy to hear you aren't completely going away 😊 Take all the time you need and what a treat it will be to hear from you again!
You’re so sweet! Thank you!
Rian, thank you so much for your transparency and vulnerability. You are such an encouragement! So glad I found your channel this year as I start homeschooling later this year. I’ve really enjoyed your videos about homeschooling and biblical womanhood. You a definitely a voice of truth. Blessings to you in this next season. ❤
Thanks so much! I’m so glad this place has been helpful to you!
I appreciate your channel. I’m here to do the work as being a better woman. I’m not a wife but I am a mother of 3 , and one of them has autism
So glad to have you. It is work but worth it!
The pre teen years are hard but worth it!!! I’m in the pre teens and teenage mode with a kindergartener!!!

Thanks for sticking around! It’s reassuring you all support my decision!
Sometimes knowing when to quit is the best thing. May God bless you with a renewal of spirit for your life and comfort to your soul. Give yourself that time to morn and find the new dynamics in your family.
Thank you so much. I know He will sustain me, but it’s just such a weird season.
Even if you can't get on the floor and read to the littlest one....he has all those brothers to get on the floor and play with him, all those big brothers to read the books to him. Yes, it's different for the youngest of the crew, but he has all the big siblings that the oldest kids didn't have.
Yes, it’s true. I saw that with my younger siblings and how easily they picked up on things because of us older kids. It just still is sad for momma!
Yup. I have five. So I get not having the time to do the memory books. I love your channel, but you have to do whatever the Lord leads you to do. I totally get it. Thank you for all your vids. 🙏😊
Thank you! I hope to still see you around when I make occasional videos!
“The algorithm is going to be mad…” always the dumb thought that comes to me when I take RUclips breaks 🙄
So dumb!
No, we're not going anywhere, RUclips or not.
Love you, friend. ❤️❤️
