this feels very personal.
hoping that me sharing this (very) personal story encourages or inspires you in some way... still not fully sure why God wanted me to share, but I know better than to be disobedient lol 😅

I'm usually too lazy to write a comment but I HAVE TO now. Tori, the timing of this video couldn't be more perfect. I am 25 years old and your journal entry made me bawl. I have been on and off with the Lord for years now and I've made the decision of going back to Him and walking with my Jesus. Thank you Tori, this is officially my favorite video on this channel. Love you!
“My soul is frustrated with the weight of sin.” Thank you for your vulnerability Tori. I’m 25 watching this right now, God knows I needed this.
Girl... YOU ARE A WRITER! The way you were able to put in to words such deep and complex feelings is an incredible gift. This video has touched me and inspired me. Thank you and God bless you. You have a beautiful soul.
Never question what God puts on our heart. You followed his request and have opened hearts in so many. Beautiful reminder of who we are and why. Thank you. Thank you.
You took the words that my soul has been feeling for the last couple of months and read them aloud. Thank you for being obedient to Christ and sharing this journal entry. I can’t tell you what it’s done for me.
God led me to this video at exactly the time I needed it.. wow. Thank you for your obedience to Him and being a vessel and sharing, vulnerability and all. ❤
Tori, I’m a 22 years old Brazilian girl. Just know that I LOVE you and you are such a light in my life. I’m always dazzled by your beauty on the inside and outside as I watch your videos, thinking of how sensible, funny, deep and intentional you are. I’m going through a really low, confusing and painful moment of my life and this video just came in the exact perfect time to me. I know the pain will go away and I’ll grow stronger and be more like Jesus after this storm passes because I look at you and see the person you are now - not despite, but because - of the sufferings that shaped you. Thank you.
Tori you have no idea how much I needed to hear this, today i woke up and just felt so impure and ashamed. I was crying out to God, to forgive me, fighting my desire to please him and the voice of the world, you have no idea how much I needed this. I can't put it into words.
Thank you so much for this encouraging video Tori, it brought me to tears ❤ current 25 year old girl who’s feeling everything you’ve just said. Can’t wait to see how God uses this season for my good and His glory
" ...you're not just the God of my victories, but also the God of my struggles"--that hit me. Thank you for sharing🙏 I really needed this reminder and encouragement.
I believe God led you to share this Tori🥹🙏🏽, this is exactly what I've been feeling lately, and this message is just what I needed to hear this morning 🩷❤️, Praise God!
WOW, here I am a 25 yearly young women feeling literately everything that you read. Wow, I am truly blown away that God responded to the things I've been thinking and feeling through this video. Thank you for your obedience, your vulnerability and your transparency.
Tori, I’m a momma or five and what you said totally resonates with me. I’m trying to get back into my relationship with my Lord but I feel like I’m falling apart. I needed to hear this and I appreciate your honesty. Thank you for being so raw with us.
I appreciate you for sharing your story!! Thank you for being vulnerable. I am so grateful for you 💕
Oh, Tori, thank you. This touched my heart. This is a great reminder we need to glorify God no matter the season and keep believing that when we give Him back the pen, He writes a beautiful story. Thank you for this. You write so well!
Really appreciate you being vulnerable with us. I was not expecting for this to hit so close to home, but it did. Thank you for the reminder and the testimony of your story.
Thank you for sharing this encouraging message. I’ve been working through feeling so disappointed recently and writing to God more than ever. Hearing you say that nothing is too big for Him really struck me. This was the reminder I needed to stay in relationship with Him and continue sharing those heavy feelings with Him.
Thank you for following Gods call to post this. This is the season I’m in and it’s so comforting knowing that you (and what seems like so many others) have gone through this. Truly Gods kindness in reminding me I’m not alone in this life and it’s possible to push forward 🤍
Wow. Thank you, Tori! That was so needed, for all of us.🙏🏻❤🕊🌹
This could've been written by me! Nothing has spoken more to my heart in this current season than this. Thank you so much
You write so beautifully, this is a needed word. Thank you for sharing! ❤
thank you for always being so vulnerable - this resonated so much
Thank you for sharing this part of your story, Tori. You are a light that God is using every day- even in the mundane
My heart needed this encouragement to be vulnerable with the Lord. Thank you! 🥹🤍
Thank you for your obedience Tori! This was timely and needed! 🥺 God bless you! 💕
I needed this. Thank you for being so vulnerable and willing to share your heart Tori. I look up to you so much!
I got chills watching this. Thank you, Tori, for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and following the Lord. You are such a blessing ❤
Thank you for sharing Tori!! This was some much needed encouragement 💜💜💜
I truly appreciate you sharing this. Sometimes I can't articulate my heart and you put into words some things I am currently feeling.
Thank you for sharing this, Tori. THANK YOU, LORD. I needed to hear this.
I have really needed this! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥺💓
Wow thank you. God knew how much I needed this and he placed it in your heart for a reason.❤️
Thank you so much for your vulnerability. Tori I believe the Holy Spirit guided you to share this. This is the exact message I needed today and I know so many more of us needed to hear this. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you. 🩵
This comes perfect timing, thank you flor being this vulnerable
I have tears! this is so me! ❤ thank you for sharing and being vulnerable!
Wow what an encouraging video! Just what I needed to hear and believe over the lies of the enemy! Thank you for sharing and being obedient to share the real moment of Jesus meeting you there!❤
Tori, thank you so much for being vulnerable with us 😢 It’s so hard to see beyond the season of hurt, betrayal and trauma I am now, but it feeds my soul of hope to hear from your experience that everything comes to pass… every sadness and trauma will be made into a beautiful garden someday for His honor and glory. Although I know that, it’s just hard to always have a good perspective about my present struggles and that’s why it was so important to me to hear this today 🤍😢 God bless you and your Beautiful family
I was touched so deeply by this story Tori, thank you for sharing your vulnerable but so relatable thoughts. The way you write is really beautiful, it seems like a beautiful gift.
This is 100% the video I needed today so absolutely God put it on your heart to share ❤
TORI! Wow this is crazy… last week I was serving at a christian camp and I was able to give up my impurity and sins of going too far (boundary wise) to God for the first time. I grew the courage to nail it to the cross and I’ve never felt more freedom in Him. My shame was erased and I feel like the new creation He promises we can be. Thank you for sharing. I keep seeing God move since that week and doing works only He can do and it is the most beautiful thing to witness. Thank you T 🫶🏼🕊️
Tori, this is SOO beautifully written and powerful. You touched my heart with your honesty and poetic reflection of yourself. Thank you for being courageous and obedient to God by sharing this time in your life. It encourages me to give God my all and my faith so that I may see his plan fully and faithfully 🙏🏾
Dear Tori, I am listening it and crying because it's exactly what I am facing right now. Thank you for sharing this. Thank you Lord for such a beautiful heart like Tori 🙏 Ps. I am 25 right now.
I am in this season so thank you Tori for sharing! Your testimony inspires me constantly!
Thank you for following through with your prompting from the Lord. I needed to hear this today along with all the others commenting. You both are such great examples and a light to others.
Tori, I haven’t watched your channel for a few months now, I don’t know why i just fell out of the habit for some reason. But when I saw this video pop up I just felt drawn to watch it. I didn’t even realise I was feeling this way until you read out the note and I started crying because it resonated so much with me. I’m glad the Lord had you share this because it really was what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing!
I needed this. Thank you Tori, how amazing God is using you 🤍
I really needed this right now. Praise the Lord for He put this on your heart! Thank you!
I’m 16 and going through a breakup. I feel lost and alone but I know God called me to end things with the boy. I have other areas in my life where I feel broken and like God is not close. I try to take control but shouldn’t. Thank you for the encouragement. This is exactly my heart wanted to understand, you put it into words. This will be my prayer.
This is beautiful. From the deepest parts of my heart, thank you for sharing that ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you sooo much for being obedient to the Spirit’s leading. I couldn’t have needed this more! Been struggling with confusion around job/career stuff and made me feel less alone in that. Thank you, Tori!
This was so beautiful. Definitely something I have been struggling with lately and it’s so encouraging just to see what God has done in your own life. I can’t wait to see what He does in mine! Thank you for sharing!!❤
Thank you Tori for sharing something so personal to you. I’m 25 at the end of the year and in a similar place so this was super timely and encouraging ❤
I believe at some point, we all feel this way. I think a lot of people know what their purpose is, and some have a harder time at finding their purpose. Or they know what they want but don’t know the steps to get to that point. Thanks for sharing. You’re faith is so strong, and encouraging.
beautifully written, truly moving ❤ thank you for sharing! The truth will set you free 🕊
This is so good. God is good. Thank you, Tori, for being real and so vulnerable and listening to the Lord about sharing this with us.❤
Your obedience to God is so very inspiring, Tori!! Thank you for sharing your personal struggles with the world! It was a blessing!❤️
Thank you so much for sharing that! It's so personal and real which makes it so relatable. You encouraged me so much..
Thank you for sharing all of this. Such a blessing! 🧡
Oh sweet Tori, thank you so so much for your vulnerability, courage and obedience to share your story like this. I truly believe the Lord is going to use it to encourage and bless those for the goodness of His Kingdom and draw His children closer to Him 🥰🙏🏻 Much love to you and your beautiful family!! 💕💕

Thank you so much Tori for sharing this ❤❤ you don't know how much i needed this right now 💞 💞
Praise The Lord for your obedience to him. As soon as you started sharing I was so grateful because I almost feel like he wanted you to share this just for me. In the last few weeks I have been turning off KZread videos from creators that I LOVE watching in the middle of the video because there’s just no more relatability anymore. We need more of this. Thank you 💕
😭 wow that’s exactly how I feel now, thank you for sharing and planting hope again that the lord wanted me to have

this meant so much to me. Thanks be to the Father
Thank you so much for sharing Tori! God met me right where I am through this. I have been questioning God's love and purpose for me for a long time, and this moment was a very special moment of God breaking through my fairly hardened heart. And I'm also 25 now 😄 It felt so encouraging to see the honesty in the way you communicate with the Lord. Also you have a beautiful gift of writing, I hope God will use that to bless people around you even more in the future! May God bless you and your sweet family muchly, God is right beside you. ❤️
Thank you Tori. It's really a strong encouragement in the pressure of everyday life!! Thank you! Only one day you'll know how many people you will have helped through this, keep on going girl!!!🥰
Literally 25 yo rn and blessed to hear this message bc I'm going through the exact same thing and my faith in the Lord is getting stronger in this process. thank you, Tori ❤
With this one video you really did encourage so many people Tori (myself included) so I'm really glad you put yourself out there and shared it, thank you❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this, there was a reason god put it on your heart to share ❤️ thank you so much
It is what I needed to hear.🙏 Thank you so so much Tori!❤
Wooow. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this. I'm happy and grateful you were obedient and shared this. So important! You write beautifully and in such a captivating way. I hope it's in God's plans one day for you to write books to publish to the rest of us. I believe you're written tool could make such a difference in this world and in the lives of many many women. Thanks Tori and God bless ❤
Tori, thank you for sharing!! Thank you for being so real and genuine. This video made me feel less alone and so much more loved by God!! 🙏🏼🤍
Thank you for your willingness to share this, even if it was in the past and you know God forgave you for it. I’m always encouraged when peers or elders share these kind of things that God walked them through. It reminds me that God loves us so, that he merciful, gracious and always willing to restore us.
Thank you for being vulnerable. ❤This was lovely. I think sometimes it’s hard for us to see or feel God working behind the scene. But he’s always at work within us. Sometimes we feel blind folded just because we are just feeling and going through the motions. But he’s an unfailing God and has greater plans for each one of us. More then we could ever imagine.
Currently 25 years old and I feel every word of what you wrote in that journal 😭 Thank you for being obedient to God and for being so venerable with us. I needed this encouragement so much. Thank you for reminding us that God is always working. Love you Tori 😭🤍🕊️
Lovely Tori, if you are asking yourself "Why did I record this" or "Who needs to hear it?" It's me. I´m sure there are even more people who might feel the same way. The video just came to me. And I got immediately tears in my eyes. I left my home country almost 1 year ago. Because I was hungry for more of the Lord and I knew that He was leading me to that step. I experienced soo much. I healed a lot, learned a lot and grew so much closer to the Lord. But since a while, I´m just wondering like "What are you doing Kira? Is it the right place? Is it even what you want?" Why does it feel like "I´m the only one in this position right now." The pressure to just do what everyone else is doing pushes me even more away, from what I actually long for. But how to get there. How to get there without the pretending, and without the jumping over important seasons? Just being with Jesus. When you said "What does it even feel like to be completely satisfied in Jesus" Man, I lost it at this point. Because I began to understand what's going on. Behind me is a long time of being tired and frustrated and just sad. Sad about what is going on around me, but also inside of me. And the thoughts in my head of where I always thought to be at 22. It's not that I´m depressive. I´m still happy and I do feel joy. But not as much as I used to. Chad and you encouraged me a lot. Through your videos (specially the ones about past life, dating, relationships & sex) I felt like sitting at a table with two other people who experienced the same things, but didn't allow shame, fear, guilt or other things to triumph over them. I also journal while sitting on a plane, in the train or in a bus. But I had stopped because of many reasons. I know that often times, we all think that we are at a certain point in our mindsets, our lives or our faith. But we just think we are there. In reality, we are not there yet. But we wish so hard to be there, that we forget to be honest and to check in with ourselves and the Lord. It can be the little things, habits or thoughts. But still, if it's not godly, it's not godly. To be honest, I just feel like God used you, to bring back my creativity through writing and being honest about my walk with Him. Because this is my purpose - being in relationship with Him. I know that He wants things back from me. My calling, my dreams, my heart. He wants it all. I´m so glad that you didn't hold back with that video. Thank you Tori for sharing this, it touched me deeply - and it helped me to go back. Much Love to you and your beautiful family! ❤
Thank you for sharing this Tori. Thank you for being vulnerable. This really encouraged me. I was also motivated to not be afraid to be 100% real with God. Praise God for you. ❤
Thank you for sharing! I needed to hear this. God bless ❤
I needed this. Thank you so much Tori for your obedience to God and sharing this. 🤍
Beautifully spoken.... you have the biggest heart. Thank you for sharing. And also, you write very well too. ❤
Hi Tori, I just watched this and it sent me straight to the throne room of God. I needed to hear this and God used it to provide the shake I needed to be honest about my reality at the moment concerning my current spiritual, emotional, mental and physical state. I was feeling so heavy and with such a chaotic heart but was not willing to let it out with the Lord but rather had been trying to surpress it all out of fear of the unknown and fear off the areas that are either are not healed or that I’m afraid to be broken in again. So thank you so much for being obedient to the Lord. I needed this.
I'm just listening to you share and out of no where I just start crying. Praise God we can share in one another's burdens.
Thank you so much for your obedience. I had just finished prayer/scripture time and felt like I was supposed to watch this. I had tears because I felt so seen by God.
I needed this. Thank you, Tori.
You are so beautiful Tori. Thank you for being so vulnerable ❤️God Bless you
So many things that you said are exactly how I’m feeling. I never feel enough, for this world and especially for God. I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing or if I’m even making an impact. I tried a bottle of those feeling the inside, and just be positive because that’s how I feel like everyone expects me to act. So thank you, Tory! I really appreciate you!
Thank you so much for sharing Tori. Your journal entry echoes with my struggles at this same age. God bless you
I really needed this today. Thanks for sharing ❤
