    I just came across your channel while searching for bujo tips, so im binge watching right now and girl, i feel like i know u and we walked the same journey! In my past, i desired to be spuritual and sought the truth through the occult, philosophy, meditation etc In June 2020 my husband and i accepted Jesus and began walking w Him. The first year we began exploring more of a Torah keeping / hebrew roots movement but ultimately distanced ourselves. The next 2 years we were deeply involved w a Fundamental Baptist church but left that in spring 2023 due to several issues w in that church including legalism and man's tradition taking precedence over God's Word. The last 8 months, we've continued to pray and worship at home w a couple other families that also left the baptist church last spring, while we waited on the Lord's direction. Praise God He has now brought us to another church that we've just begun attending. Its just a plain ol bible preaching church and we've only attended twice so far but its been so encouraging and a breath of fresh air to meet with other Christians to pray and give praises, worshipping and encouraging one another and not have the stress abd condemnation of keeping torah ( i hope that makes sense, i think u know what im referring to) or the legalism of attending 3 services a week, ankle length dresses etc of the Fundamental baptist church. I too, will get that suffocating feeling when im trying to do something in my own strength. As soon as i call out to our heavenly Father, He takes away that burden and equips me with whatever it is i need to complete the task. He always gives us what we need...What a loving Father we serve! Sorry im so long winded. I just feel like we have so much in common and im so glad to have found your channel! 🤗 ❤

I've enjoyed your video so much, it's been a pleasure 'catching up'. Good luck to you going forward. We've had a mild winter in the UK with just a couple of snowy days. Now the spring is here my partner and I are walking locally, we have wild woods and common land (natural meadow) close and they are such a pleasure. Nature is such a great distraction. Stay well, look after yourself and baby and I look forward to seeing you again xxx

    I've missed you and was hoping all was well with both you and your husband. So thankful that all is well and even more so now that you have your own home for your growing family. Currently studying, journaling and trying to memorize Ephesians 6:10-18 now for close to the same reasons as you mentioned here in your video. Trying to protect my walk with God by not getting too involved with the worldly culture. Actually, this month I was going on a 30day challenge (Hopefully Lifetime) of not buying things that are not needed. My goals are to be a Faithful child of God, Christian Minimalist and Nurse Practitioner so please send a quick prayer my way. Looking forward to seeing more from you Claudia. Much Blessings to you my sister in Christ.

    Hi, Claudia! A few weeks ago I found your video on prayer journaling and I was so happy to see that you seemed to try to persue Yah's ways. This journey can be quiet confusing, specially when we tend to look for knowledge, understanding and community on the internet besides our Bible. I do recommend a channel I think you would appreciate, called Little House on The Mountain. I hope you, your husband and your baby all the best. I pray your baby's birth will be beautiful and blessed. Kisses 🦋

Remember, if you're not enjoying Life you must stop and look for what is not working _for_ _you,_ then remedy the situation so that you can be _true._

    Good on you for sharing and being vulnerable! I refer back to your videos all the time when I’m planning so you already have a legacy there! Maybe the videos are part of your god given gift- to help us plan and get organised so we can spend more time doing other things. Good for you becoming a Christian. Maybe you could theme your videos around being a Proverbs 31 women, or some bible verse mapping, or the SOAP bible method? Some of this will capture organisation, methods, lists etc. just to keep with the theme of bullet journaling. Lastly, it’s your channel, you do what your heart tells you. If you lose followers, that’s ok, you will gain new ones that may need to hear what you have to say! Good luck with everything and thanks again for giving us great content :)

  • @claudiaspaurel

    Жыл бұрын

    Salvation or "being saved" takes place when you come to place your trust in Jesus as Lord and have faith that His death and resurrection saves you from the consequences or "wages" of sin, which is the judgment of your sin - being death, and separation from God. Being saved - in part - means being forgiven of your sins and being delivered from the penalty of your sins. It's about being in right relationship with God. Receiving the free gift of eternal life offered by Jesus involves turning away from your old life and following Jesus, and accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour. It is not something you have earned because you are a "good person" who has done good things in your life (It's not about your works or efforts); it is a gift from God, and you must receive it in humble faith. Some Bible verses: Romans 3:23 | For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 | For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 10:9-10 | because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 | For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

    Hello Claudia 🧡 thank you for your message! I watched your videos yesterday and until today I had some thoughts about. I’ll make it short and have a suggestion for you: “Mental Health Monday”. A mind-supportive and soul-rescuing tiny 4EP-series. kzread.info/head/PLndgJiDOz1vESYvV293C5M-B72TJqyCRS Water Color is a good media to let go the perfectionism and overthinking. It’s so calming to play with a brush and colour to watch the colours moving around the paper and not having control of it. Just letting it happen. Perhaps you or any of your subscribers might need that for some reason or any day. Love and cheers from Switzerland ❤️

    Dear Claudia, I do want to share my thoughts on your re-orientation of your channel towards more religious content, respectfully of course. To be honest, when you first talked about your faith, I was a bit shocked. I instantly wanted to unsubscribe and I felt betrayed (which of course I have no right to be, this is your channel and you may decide on what to talk about in every minute of it.) Afterwards I could watch myself avoiding your videos. But I was happy to see you back today and this videos of yours is a good one, in my eyes, because it shows more of your real self - one can „feel“ your more, it‘s less perfect - and in it „more human“, if you know what I try to describe :) I had to think quite a bit about what shocked me so much in the first place, because I honestly don‘t have any trouble with religious content, had a phase of soul searching myself when I was younger. I was born evangelical Christian and I find the bible a fascinating book (like I find other religious books fascinating), but my own search led me to another ground work of what you may call god, I guess. And I think this is the one message I‘d like to send you regarding your content: I hope your way contains enough space for a more comprehensive picture of god, not just what you personally prefer. I deeply believe that we all should have respect for the search of meaning in life of another human being - be it through god or another representation of him or her or it, or whatever they believe or think or feel. If we limit ourselves to our own perception and preference of gods manifestation, we may not experience him/her/it in full potential. And if we want to serve him/her/it too much, we allow ourselves to be idle. Everything in moderation, in balance, like nature is, one of his/her/its greatest creations. Wish you all the best on your personal way of finding and serving god! Truely. Be happy, let it be eye opening, full of love and sometimes tears. And avoid narrow mindedness, as far too many people fall trap into, imho.

    Spending more time with God is the best thing you can do for us :). You are His child before you are content to consume. It is infinitely better for you to be nourished in the Lord and produce content that is imperfect, than for you to have a billion views on one vid while being spiritually starved. I know exactly what you mean about frustration and confusions and overwhelmed an all that-I was also saved in 2021 btw!! Praise God! I pray that all goes well for you in your faith and your life and this channel! 🤍🫶🏾 I personally would love to see home-related vids, or a vid about how you guys observe the Sabbath.
