Diana, This is Susie from Savannah posting through my hubby's youtube account. I want to thank you for starting your own channel. Since my Franklin was diagnosed with cancer last year, I find needed encouragement each time you talk about some Scriptural truth. God's word is helpful as we work through this awful diagnosis that has permamently altered our lives. We both are so grateful (as we always are) for the time the Lord allows us together each day. I learned of you through meeting Dawn in Savannah several years ago. Y'all make a good communicator team.

Thank you for the blessing at the end of the chat. It was missed and glad to hear it again. :) 💕🙏🏻

I’m asking everyone if they will pray for members of my family who are very negative!

It makes all the difference on the world!! You are what you eat and you mimic what you hear/see!!!

Psalm 13:20 applies here as well. Since my study of it in my Proverb a day study, I have been praying for godly friends and mentors for my granddaughters.

You were a “Diana Beast”. You can model that for your kids in the right season…

I try to watch every video of both of you together. Loved them. What a great team

Adam was the first person who responded to peer pressure. 😆

You both are such precious BLESSINGS to us!!!

Thank you for this! I just learned something g about myself! I always beat myself up for not keeping promises, routines or simple little plans to and with myself. Now I know why. This really resonated with me. What an eye opener. I need someone to be accountable to so I don’t “let THEM down”. Always feel better and learn something after joining you and dawn ☺️❤️🙏🏼

Me too!!! Agree that was eye opening! Lindsay in Ontario 🇨🇦

That was a super encouraging chat!! Bless you girls.

You two are such a blessing in my life. Thank you for your words and your prayer today. 💙

Beautiful blessing at the end, Diana. Thank you very much for supporting us in our own journeys towards the Lord through this channel. 😇

Love seeing the sisters together… Love you two!! You’re an inspiration to all of us. Hey, I got your work book last week Dawne and I love it! Can’t wait to tackle everything… Lord bless you girls & your families🤗

I so appreciate what you are saying. I am going to take your expression “being a Gatekeeper.” I love that. The concept of the Gatekeeper is very important. Possibly a devotional topic 😉😉

Your “butts” conversation was funny! I didn’t even think about it until you said something. The amount of butt, poop and fart talk at our house has numbed me to the words! 😂 Lindsay in Ontario 🇨🇦

"Butt" seems very tame!

Oh my goodness, when I was growing up we ALWAYS said bottom, not butt, that was almost a bad word, so that really made me laugh!!! I have found a magazine called YES Magazine that tries to only focus on good things to report. Even with all the bad things happening, they focus on what good things people are trying to do during those events to make things better. I’ve really enjoyed it, and you should look it up! Thank you so much for your channel!

Thank you for sharing. What God placed on your heart to share was something I needed at this moment.

I love listening to y’all 😭💜💜💜

Y’all are so cute! And yes, kids say “butt” and so much more!!!

I'm still doing church on line🤷it's mostly because I've been in several different states the last 6 months and been without my own car and being in quarantine because of my son in law,'s bout with Covid - that being said I'm in a better place now so I'm hoping to get back to in person worship and fellowship- I believe it's part of God's plan for us as believers to strengthen and fortify us together in community-

Thank so much for this I have been putting things off feeling sorry for myself but if I put myself out there I will feel a lot better having people around thanks again

Thank you!! This is so very true we are social people and who you surround yourself with by choice is very important!!

Thank you and Dawn for being unashamed of the Gospel of Christ! You are such an encouragement to me both in my faith and in getting my home under control with an infant at home.

Years ago when working in daycare and then has a nanny oh, one of my friends who was a mom taught her kids to say bum instead of b u t t. So now after working with kids so many years I'll always say, " sit on your bum...sit on your bum." Haha But, that term has stuck with me over the years🥰

thank you for this inspiration.. I needed to be reminded this today.. powerful boost, kind gentle in the same time, thank you so much ! ✨🙏

Love how you two are so honest with each other on camera. ❤️

I had a six grade teacher and he was so STRICT but I loved him! He made me accountable for my homework and I did very well in his class!❤️Thank you both for this video girls!

Ya'll make me miss church. I had a really really terrible experience that caused my experience that caused me to exit the particular faith group I had spent my whole life with. Finding a new church is a huge barrier for me, they all have so many different unspoken rules, I can't begin to figure out where to even start. Not all of them are terribly welcoming but seems like yours must be!

Very good information, thanks girls.

Great discussion!

Great lesson! Discipline and accountability is good for the soul!

Yayy...the twins are backkk and again...woot woot

Thank you for another timely word. God bless.

You are both such a blessing to me. Thank you!

such a perfect uplift! I love listening to you two

I am so grateful for this video!

I love listening to your conversations! Thanks for your encouragement.

Hi, I am all the way from Tasmania,Australia!! I'm so thankful I found your channel through the minimilast mom . Both of you have been an inspiration thankyou. And Bless you both.🙏

Thank you for this message. What an important reminder to surround ourselves with people who will keep us on track. Side note: my graduating high school class was 650. lol

Excellent! 👍🏻❤

Thanks ladies. This goes right along with our church sermon series "Better" building better relationships. It is important to surround yourself with positive, encouraging people and taking action to be an encouraging person. I appreciate your perspectives. I have also limited screen time to actually do things instead of watching someone do things and watch less news that is very discouraging. Blessings from Missouri.

Y’all are awesome

So very good. I am a group fitness instructor & this certainly applies to surround yourself with encouraging people who notice when you are not there. I also tell my participants if they will just show up I am responsible for providing the motivation & encouragement. Love this video-always timely words. BTW: have you checked out Jennie Allen’s new book “Finding Your People”? I think you both would enjoy it-same type of topic. Blessings!!!

Thank you. Hope and Joy are essential in our lives. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. Psalm 38:15

Diana.....your hair looks great on you! Just saying! 🥰

Ladies, you are a blessing with your authenticity and caring hearts. Thank you for sharing scripture and bringing the culture of heaven to earth!! Dianna, what you prayed for, for people who can help us be the people we long to be, (those iron sharpening iron prople) you girls are those people! I'm grateful for both of you.

Good Golly! I thought I'd subscribed to this channel at the beginning of it! Anyway, I'm here now. When it finally clicked that I'm on Diana's channel, I understood why she's calling out the word she doesn't much care for. Not that it matters one way or another, "butt" doesn't bother me one bit. I am in my opinion it's the nicest way to say it, you know, like, let's get our butts in gear!😆😆😆 And yes public schools are in a heck of a way right now and have been for several, if not many, years. It's incredibly sad and very hard for the teachers, who are trying so hard.

Hi. This video was great. Brought many memories back from team spirit and accountability partners, it makes sense. Love yas. I thank my friend who introduced you guys to me through Dawn's channel and I have been listening and being encouraged ever since, a little over a year now. And butt is polite, my opinion. We've got teens so this is clean talk. Bless you girls, enjoy, see you next time. 🙂💛💛💖❤🙏🏽

I love hearing about your past!! You both accomplished so much!! And tried a variety of areas!! I love it!! Such a great point of the difference between people being their own accountability and others that need someone to help them!! Neither is wrong!! I am so thankfully for such a close church family!! Our church is very small but even in a small church its hard to get to know people better on a Sunday morning!! We have Life Groups on Wednesday's, which is so much fun!!! Being around life giving people is amazing!!! Well done Dawn!!! You stepped out and it was 7am!!! Thats awesome!!!

Amen! 💜🥰

Great video

This is good 💗

You ladies are sooo encouraging & such Truth-bearers! Thank you for being such a loving, gentle, & bright for God's Love & Ways! I'm inspired to find or start a ladies Bible Study maybe this summer now...7am might be a tad too early for me though! 🤭😁😜😘

Two things: 1. My old pastor said "If you run with the skunks, you're going to smell like 'em" 😁 2. Diana, how did you do that little flippy do with your hair? I want to try it!

Interesting that you had poll about going back to church! Our pastor thinks that the church will lose I forget how many but like a third or 2/3 of the people because of the pandemic. It's quite interesting he thinks that!

The two of you embody so much Good, Truth and Energy ! I 🔥🔥 💪have seen our lives change as we started a new Church 4 years ago. Now we have 4 sets of friends who join us every Thursday for church .., Invite your friends, and it may take numerous invitations… We started with an invite to “Prayers and Pitchers”, join us for church and afterwards we go for Mexican and Margaritas(pitchers). Those who were nervous joined us after church and we discussed the sermon or message. Little by little they became more interested and comfortable stepping into church as a group! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Now we could probably call ourselves the Worship and Wine group! A testament to how we all want to hear and know God’s word…it is all in God’s Time!♥️♥️♥️

You two really compliment each other in these videos! In our house we say patookiss. I have 4 boys though so butt definitely gets said 🤣

Our congregation can go to Church in person or watch on zoom still.

12:45 AMEN!

I would be happy to teach Ramsey Financial Peace University anywhere in Central Minnesota within 20 miles of Sauk Centre.

Kettle chips are my kryptonite! I prefer the BBQ ones though.

I have no issue with saying butt. I would find the A word offensive. Thank you for brightening my day.

💛

💓💓💓 all I can say is💓💓💓

Butt is the least offensive phrasing of that word, and "kicking butt" is a perfectly acceptable phrase, even if my nervous nelly spell check doesn't like it. It (spell check also won't let me say chicken breasts, and how one meal preps withput those I am not completely sure...language purity can sometimes be taken to an uneasy or unworkable extreme. I think Dawn and Diana are in the right side here.

I graduated with a class of 89 in the year 1989! Ha! #oldschool #oldlady

For religious topics I'm ok being on my own bc I've always been. But for athletics I soo much rely on others/peers!! Since the studios/gyms (in my case my yoga class) are closed I haven't done *one single* exercise!! It's terrible. 😩😬

Also Diana my husband and I also LOVE jalapeño chips!!!! We are also starting to get addicted haha they are sooooo yummy!! Also cocoa covered almonds I mean you have to have date night right 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️❤️☺️

Perhaps there is a Ladies class at church and you could talk to the leader. Someone may be looking for a friend also. May God continue to watch over you and guide you.

I hated online church we couldn't get back inside fast enough and I'm in CA and my church is being fined 3 million dollars for opening the doors "too soon"

😂 "Get your Butt here." "Bottom" "Oh sorry" That is my childhood summed up, except we were told to use derriere.

This is off subject. Diana what makeup do you use? I remember you mentioning it in one of your videos, but can't remember what video it was to go back and look. love to you both

😉

Don't worry "butt" is ok. Lol

I liked this so much until the end. I'm almost positive that leaven in The Word is referencing sin-(not the kingdom!) We have Passover and the feast of unleavened bread upon us. Messiah was and is The perfect Passover Lamb-He is the unleavened bread that had no leaven found in Him after inspection by Pontius pilate. Leviticus 23 provides more details on these holy days and all ABBA's holy days-according to His calendar. (The beginning of His year is in the spring when everything is coming to life as opposed to the winter as the world celebrates. Come out of her, my people!) [Important to note: Ishtar is a false goddess who was celebrated for fertility, hence Ishtar eggs and the Ishtar bunny. This has nothing to do with our Creator and His Son who died for our leaven and rose on the 3rd day. Good friday to Ishtar sunday doesn't even add up to 3 days and 3 nights in the grave like Messiah prophesied.) May ABBA's will be done. May He draw you to His truth. Yshua is The way, The truth, and The Life. He said that NO ONE comes to The Father but thru Him. He is The perfect Passover Lamb without leaven--unlike the Pharisees who added manmade requirements on top of ABBA's perfect Word. Let's follow Him and search for every speck of leaven in our lives to get it ALL out and become more holy as He is holy. The Word provides great physical instructions of removing the leaven from our homes while we apply the key critically important spiritual principle of removing all of the leaven from our lives as ABBA reveals it to us. Let's search in all of the nooks and crannies of these hearts that The Word tells us are desperately wicked. Who can know it? The Father. He can and will show us the leaven that He wants cleaned out. Praise Him!!

Try saying bum instead of butts. That's the Swedish word my sis in law taught me. Though I think kids do say butt nowadays without it being a bad thing. Plus cuts of meat use it. Pork butt for example. :) I don't think you have to worry if it slips out.

They call KZreadrs influencers for a reason!

Talking about butts, We could use ‘buttocks’, the anatomically correct word instead of euphemisms for our little ones…
