My husband has been out of work since June of this year and yet we have not missed a single bill or lacked for anything we needed. The Lord has been our Jehovah Jireh and He has provided for emergencies before we even knew we would need it. We have had to make changes to our spending to be good stewards of what He has provided but we have not gone without. And now He has provided my husband with a working opportunity that challenges him and gives him freedom to make his own schedule. God is absolutely and always Good!!

I learned to trust in the Lord many years ago when my husband and I were both in college. Our church was planning a women's weekend event (don't remember the particulars) and I needed $20.00 Back in 1978 that was a lot, especially for a poor college student. I prayed and asked for the Lord to provide if he wanted me to go to this weekend event. Several days later, I was standing at the bus stop in the cold and snow. Several people stepped onto the bus before me. Just as I was getting ready to step onto the bus, my eye caught something in the snow. I bent down and picked up a $20.00 bill. Just what I needed to be able to go to the women's weekend event! God provided. My husband and I have been married now for 48 years. God has continued to provide. He never disappoints!

❤ since my husband had a heart attack in August we have watched our spending God has provided in amazing ways!! We believe in tithing and have for years, He had someone give us 40 lbs deer meat, a gift card for groceries, a box of food each month! And He had prepared us for something a few years ago, I had started stocking up on basic stuff we use all the time, coffee, canned goods, soap, etc! Thank you for encouragement, I love listening to your advice!!

I did a spending freeze for 2024. It came naturally after I embraced minimalism. I was able to pay off my new car in 11 months. Now I am able to save for my children's college funds, with my oldest starting in 2025! I was also able to buy a Christmas present for a teenager from the giving tree at my church. I love your channel and Dawn's too! My mom, my sister, and my aunt love watching you as well. Keep up the awesome work!

The biggest thing for me is be a blessing with no strings attached. Also allow people to be a blessing to me.

Hi Diana! I've been really working on gratitude for God's blessings, trust in his provisions and being worthy of them, because financially I am struggling and its very stressful. This week I won 50$ on my football board and the next day work informed me that our Christmas bonus is being doubled this year. Another $100. And that this month I will be receiving a substantial raise. God really does provide! I feel so blessed this morning, I'm going to a Toys for Tots fundraiser, with my grocery money to spread some JOY! Stress free!!!🙏😘

[joankircher]

Month after month I've cut back as much as I can and the only thing I can cut back on now is my food budget, the numbers don't add up, I can't pay everything but yet every month I do, it's impossible but God is making it work. I try not to worry God has proven that he's got me covered, it's hard but I have to remind myself of how I've been taken care of in the past and not worry, I can trust him ❤

Hi! I was recently made redundant. This really made me re-evaluate my spending. It opened my eyes to the fact I was working to be able to consume. I am now looking for a job with less hours so I can better take care of myself rather than have an excess of products that I don’t actually need. God bless you and thank you for sharing this lesson.

[momtrck]

My church has an Acts 2 private Facebook page where we can give away our extras to whoever needs it. It’s all great stuff. We got a bike for our grandson last summer and we will put it back on the page next summer when he outgrows it.

Finances are fine right now (I know, it's a huge blessing I dont take for granted!) so I almost didn't watch this video, but I'm glad I did! I needed this for a different reason. I've been struggling eating well. I love the mindset change of, is the food I'm consuming worship. He gave me my body. Am I taking care of it. I think it will help me stick to resolutions I struggle keeping. Thanks Diana, for a principle that can be applied to many things!

[analuisakishbaugh]

I am grateful for all we have. My husband has given me full control over finances so I tithe and give where people need up to $100 every month. Somehow we always have money.

Diana, I absolutely loved this and so much of it rings true in my heart. I love that you spoke of stewardship. We are all stewards in many ways. All of our possessions truly come from God. We become stewards of them and must be mindful of how we use that. We are stewards within our own family - over our children, etc. HE has given us so much and He wants us to show humility and gratitude. I LOVE the story of the young rich ruler. As you mentioned, he approached Jesus and asked what more he could do as he has followed all of the commandments. He comes before the Lord and specifically asks him, “What Lack I yet?”. Jesus then responds go sell all you have, give it to the poor and come follow me. In studying this chapter I realized we can all come before the lord and ask the same - what lack I yet? What do I need to work on next to nearer to thee? I hesitantly put this to the test for fear I too would be asked do do some really hard thing like giving away my home and living in a tent or something like that. But you know what Heavenly Father knows us each so well. As I prayed and asked humbly “what lack I yet” I had a thought come to my mind to call my friend and offer to watch her baby so she and her husband could attend a special church service. It wasn’t really hard - it was a few hours of serving my friend so she could spend time with her husband and the Lord. I felt good that I was able to help her in a small way by giving up some of my time to serve her family. A week or so later she approached me and said how much it meant to her to have had that time as she had been secretly struggling with something ( she lost a baby) but hadn’t told anyone. She questioned God and had been praying to find peace and comfort. She said how offering to watch her son enabled her to spend time in a sacred place and receive an answer to her prayer. Although this was not related to finances, in a way it was as it was serving and helping and trying to see what I could do to draw one step nearer to my Heavenly Father. So Heavenly Father showed me that He is aware of me and my friend also received her answers. As a result, we both strengthened our relationship with God. Just wanted to share that story as God knows exactly where we are and what we need next. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus
Christ. I know any effort to strengthen that relationship we will be blessed with in increase in peace and true joy. I am grateful for wonderful people like you who uplift others and challenge others to do a little better. Nothing huge but just a little better. Thank you Diana!!!❤

This was pretty divine that I found this video. We are snowed in so I am working on my full year budget. I clicked on a video as background noise and how amazing that God connected me to you and this video at the time im planning my spending for the year.

I started to tithe years ago. I have had no money issues since. No matter what I make sure I tithe first. Hi Diana. From Angela.

I think the most rewarding lesson I have learned is that the best things in life isn't things. I used to like "stuff". Now I realize how little that stuff did to give me joy. The things of God are what brings joy. Praying, reading the Bible, helping those in need, knowing that our lives are not our own and that we are here to serve. It took awhile but I finally got here and have a ways to go, but I'll get there too. The tragic situation in Western NC and Tn really helped me to see that everything we think we own could be gone in a moment. Then where would I be? What would I depend on? Without God, it's all vanity.

[happycamper]

Diana, You are such a blessing! My husband and I took part in Crown Financial Ministries several years ago. They teach that everything comes from God and we are only stewards of what is given to us. If we look at the money we have as God's, and we are just managing it for Him, we really are aware of how we spend. It changed our lives for sure. And, I have seen so many blessings when we strive to be good stewards.

[heidihouseholder]

My sister and I did a 3 month financial fast. We were not to buy anything "extra, " and if we did a portion of the amount spent, was to be donated to our church or a charity. It was a very good process for us. I think we need to do it again!

[joannafoster]

Learning to tithe, give, and live more open handed has proven God to be faithful to provide and bless. We give to give, not give to get, but honestly He has given back richly. We cannot outgive the giver of every good and perfect gift.

[churchcartoons]

Thank you for sharing this! I love the idea of seeing spending as a form of worship, makes me more aware of where and why I put my money and other resources.
Our family lives the law of tithing and it has been such a blessing to our family both financially and spiritually.

[shannonmcmullen]

Thank you for reminding us of this scripture and truth Diana!! <3 <3 I havent always been very good with money! Spending more than I made! But tithing became such a great habit in my life and I have seen Gods amazing provision from my obedience! It's a joy to tithe! There was a time when my mom and I did the envelope savings method. 3 years in a row we were able to increase our savings in our envelopes when our wages didnt increase! My only explanation is Gods favour because of our obedience in tithing!!! In the past 4 years I have learned so much about budgeting and healthy spending habits! Also because Ive spent time with Dawn in decluttering and living more simply! Its changed my midst even more! I only buy with intentionality now! Or am content to not buy at all! Such freedom!!!! Where my struggle is now is moving forward with a bigger apartment. God doesnt seem to be bringing me a husband with a second income to help increase my budget so I am limited to what I can afford for housing. But God is my provider and I just keep giving Him my little trusting, sometimes with a mustard seed size faith, that He can do the impossible!!!! But I also know that He is helping me be grateful and content where im at too!!! Thankful for His plans, desires and timing for <3
