Early Rise Morning Routine

[@kayleerussell3493]

I’m 22 and still living with my parents, and they live a very modern lifestyle. We’ve eaten frozen meals and takeout for every meal. We wake up when we have to. Overall, just living day by day. I started watching your videos last year and fell in love with your channel. You, along with others, have inspired me to start eating healthy, start my own herb garden (starting off small lol,) and have a deeper understanding of this ride called life. *side note, I’ve lost 44 pounds which has inspired my family to start too. Our family of 6 has lost a total of 122 pounds altogether* Please continue to make videos for as long as you can, because they don’t just entertain aesthetically and give you that warm fuzzy feeling, they inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and be better versions of themselves. 🤍

[@GrowingPothos]

To be honest i wouldn't call eating frozen meals and takeout everyday modern, it's just unhealthy, or consumerist maybe. Many of us live a healthy modern lifestyle. We have modern values, according to most churches, that doesn't mean we disconnect ourselves from our wellbeing, i'd argue the opposite. Regardless, congratulations on your achievements! Truly admirable.

[@pahamabg5312]

Wow, that's amazing!! You can be super proud of yourself! I hope you keep working hard towards your goal and keep being successful!! 😊😊♥️♥️ One step at a time!

[@kayleerussell3493]

Pothos I agree that there is a healthy and unhealthy way of living, but many modern family’s lifestyles are very unhealthy (excess food intake, lack of physical activity, high use of technology.) It just depends on how you are looking at it. Of course there are exceptions, but there are also “modern” patterns that are not good for us but yet a huge majority of people, at least in America, partake in them. Anyway, thank you! ❤️

[@kayleerussell3493]

Paham Abg Thank you!❤️

[@juliafarhat6685]

You go sis! Leading by doing ✨

[@aprileshade]

“...take inventory of what really matters to me vs. what I’ve been sold...”. That is a powerful statement and so true. I love how you phrased that. I paused and thought about that. Thanks for sharing!

[@kyleshalindemere]

I’m buying a bible tomorrow. I’ve spent years thinking God didn’t love me... I know he loves me, forgives me for my wrong doing, and he continues to protect and teach me. Our God is an awesome God!

[@ThePixidust333]

Do it girl! He will always and forever love you!

[@venicemitchell1407]

There you go babygirl!!! Read on !🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@my_name_is_nat]

He loves you more than what you could think of. Go and get it talk to him whenever you can the inner peace and sometimes tears brings some healing.🙏

[@amberp5207]

U r God’s child. He most certainly loves u and He always will

[@kasiowelove1]

I find peace in talking to God. Even throughout the day, when I’m happy or angry or anxious, I would ask „God, why is this happening?”, and I almost instantly feel the connection to Him and the world around me. I feel grounded, open-minded and mentally ready to face whatever I’m bumping into. Also, I noticed that the more I pray, the more tolerant I become and this feels great 🙌🏼❤️

[@alexiatychkowsky641]

It makes my heart so full to hear when people struggle with faith, but find their way back 😭 God truly holds our hands everyday, and picks us back up when we call to him. Much love 💖

[@catmama54]

I don’t read my bible as much as I like but when I do it brings me peace and a calmness and in today’s times that’s so needed. You have such a soothing way about you and clearly a kind heart

[@venicemitchell1407]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@trublue2952]

As a Muslim we are supposed to get up before sunrise and pray the first prayer of the day. There’s blessing in the days when a person can get up before sunrise.

[@fahimashah4573]

Yes, Glory Be To The Creator Of The Heavens And The Earth. Her Video Is A Reminder Of Gods Creation Of Everything.

[@omjay7280]

Exactly, and prophet Muhammad peace been upon him said: "O Allah, bless my nation in their early mornings"

[@rosejonas5804]

Exactly 😇

[@NadiaEarthNatureLove]

Yes, so true. I do find that when I wake up to pray Fajr, my whole day is off on the right foot and I am energized, positive, motivated and productive throughout the whole day.

[@TheLightShines]

I pray Jesus comes to you and saves you from Islam amen

[@kate_700]

Thank you for being candid about your faith. 🧡

[@HorsesNMakeup]

Isn't it funny how He uses others to send messages? I'm an RN in pulm. and critical care and COVID has me just about broken physically, mentally and emotionally. I need to dig back into the word to back me up, so I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. 🥰

[@SunainaM27]

Leigh Elizabeth wishing you so much love and deep thanks!

[@heartwhispers8]

Yea...very true. HE even touched me today thru this video

[@heartwhispers8]

Wishing you the best and God's blessings

[@sarahcole7338]

Sending you so much love, the world appreciates you so very much. Thank you for what you do.❤️

[@Cybil017]

Thank you so much for all that you do. I will pray for your spiritual and physical uplifting.❤

[@hannahgrace7662]

You're truly an inspiration to us all, as a mother, KZbinr, believer and wife. Thank you for coming into our lives. God bless❤️

[@melledelvani]

Even more so during these difficult times, it’s important to draw close to God. We may not always get it right every day with prayer and reading the Bible, but He appreciates the effort. If I’m walking or on the back porch, listening to the birds, that’s my time with Him.(Psalm 92)

[@jennydavis598]

Rachel, this may be one of my most favorite videos. I love how you have captured the peacefulness of a brand new morning! We have that wonderful gift of a new start every day. We all need these quiet moments to reflect. Thanks for sharing your heart! I love the hope I have from believing in my Creator and remembering His purpose for my life!!! You will make a wonderful homeschool family. Will be praying you find your groove and enjoy the process. 🥰

[@telaraday8743]

I'm so proud of you for using your platform to speak your truth. Sometimes it's scary for Christian's to speak out nowadays because there is so much misconception and also so many who's actions do not represent faith. But I truly believe you presented in such a way that was YOUR truth YOUR story and it was really inspiring. Thank you

[@michelleleigh7200]

Omg I love the feel of this video. So zen, peaceful and beautiful. I especially love how you said, "I believe and that belief gives me hope. Money couldn't buy what that does for my soul." I felt that. 🙏🏻💙

[@deborahseb]

Rachel, I love how you share about your faith in God in this video. He really is with us in our quiet moments, reminding us of what matters in life. This put so much hope and peace into my soul. Thank you. ♥️

[@Karisautumn]

This video is so uplifting. Thank you Rachel. Reading the comments makes me so happy to see how many people were encouraged. Thank you for the transparency

[@erinrenaedancer]

I LOVE that you are putting out more content again!! I have watched you for years and have missed you! so excited for all the new videos!!

[@kellsyshelton2227]

Thank you for encouraging me to get in my bible more. 🤍

[@tessafuller]

I love how open you are about your faith! 💕💕 Thank you for that.

[@carolleatkinson4307]

I know it can be so hard to be so open about faith in God and not knowing the response you will get from that honesty so thank you so much for sharing that with us. This video was a great example of you not being “ashamed of the Gospel of Christ”. It was a beautiful video and I love how open and honest you were about your relationship with God. I hope this helps lead others to Him.

[@venicemitchell1407]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

[@nedjinerozefort]

May God bless you and your wonderful family Rachel❤️

[@claire_777]

Wow! Love this video - so much truth and grace! I’m a first time mama and learned so much from this, especially how beneficial that morning time with God and His Word is!💗

[@mysonruns]

You won't regret your commitment to reading through the bible. The sunrise was gorgeous! Thanks for taking us through your early morning!

[@MakenzieAlton]

Loved this so much! Thank you for including your time with God into your routine

[@summerberkemeier2196]

Thank you for this Rachel. I've been struggling with my faith for the past couple of years. But your video reminded me how much peace it can provide.

[@katie3741]

One of the things I love about your routine is that it isn't rigid. People can become so strict about their routine- and i love that you balance early rising with sleeping in and listening to your body.

[@meganemery3146]

Thank you for sharing your faith and giving me the desire to work on my walk with God.

[@rebekkahherrick1304]

Thank you for being so bold in sharing about faith and God. It is refreshing to hear on social media in this day and age. God bless ❤

[@ThePixidust333]

I love that you shared this. Especially the Bible read. Thank you, because you don’t see much of that on KZbin anymore.

[@nadiakaym9547]

I’ve been a fan of your content for years! And Rachel, I love that you’re sharing more about your faith. It resonates with me so much ✨ Loveeeee your content! ❤️

[@thomaswulff5760]

What makes this one of your best vlogs is your honesty about prayer, your bible study, your faith and the need to turn away from what the world puts in front of us to consume as truth and return to God. Very Peaceful.

[@alyssarosengard6674]

I am not religious but I practice a form of Buddhism. I love meditating daily. It helps me get through hard times and manage my mood. Kindness to yourself and kindness towards other brings me peace.

[@mysticalistaTV]

this is so powerful! you talking about your faith brought a tear to my eye

[@Quinnn4thewin]

My husband and I are reading through the old and New Testament simultaneously right now too! The word of God is LIFE giving and especially in these times gives peace to an anxious soul!

[@Coolbabymama]

You made me ready eyed talking about God. I’m from a different faith, but also believe in God and I can say you’re not alone in feeling that way. I have moments where I feel distant and then reading scripture and reconnecting with my faith brings me back. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable in this video. 💗

[@juliafarhat6685]

Beautiful morning & life you have! I’ve watched you since the beginning and you truly created this for yourself 🤍

[@amyjuliana8482]

I so love this. I live in a small farm town in Colorado. I am up between 5/530a most days. I too agree, mornings are magical & so feel God's presence on my early morning walks with my pup also, watching the sun rise, looking over the farm lands that meet the Rocky Mtns....doesn't get much better than that. Please make more "Early Rise" Routines....this was beautiful & so very much appreciated during these crazy times. Blessings! Amy :)

[@kbarnes1927]

This was sooo refreshing and inspiring! An unexpected blessing to begin my day! My children are adults. Enjoy every moment. They need you now. “Work” will always be there. They will not. I sensed your awareness of this in the video and am thankful. I love the Lord too and you are so right regarding time spent in His precious Word. And Starting your day in such an beautiful setting! I have sadly slacked up on my devotion time during this pandemic and period of social unrest. The worst time to fall back!! I pray- but I need to delve into the Bible more to really experience His peace. And- extending grace to ourselves (as you clearly do) when we miss a much needed designated devotion time. God soooo knows our hearts and what we desperately need from Him to make it thru a day. Thank you for sharing your ❤️ with us all. God bless you and your sweet family!

[@heartwhispers8]

Wow.... amazingly soothing and peaceful. Love the verse from Psalms that you chose to display on the video. Beautiful place. It made my day. Also made me want to wake up early again. These days I also don't read the Bible so much. I used to be a very spiritual person till recently. This makes me return to be a devoted Christian again and of course I believe in God and love this truth. Thank you Rachel.

[@HollyL56]

Rachel I love this so much! Such peace in the word. ❤️

[@janebarscz5130]

We need more videos like these on KZbin, thank you Rachel.

[@laurenhpulie9259]

‘’ It’s invaluable, those moments in the morning with GOD.” 🙌 🙏🏻💪

[@ririrodriguez3395]

So great hearing you talk about your faith Rachel 🥰

[@Soulfulsay]

Definitely one of my all time favorite videos. I love the serenity 🌟

[@adrienneterzen2604]

People need positive role models to follow. Thank you, Rachel and Byron, for your positive contributions because we are all craving for peacefulness and spirituality in this crazy world!

[@venicemitchell1407]

I’ve enjoyed your walk through Scripture. She Reads... Truth indeed. Those mornings when you’re with Him in Prayer are the most amazing times that God sits with his children!!!

[@rachellearrowood175]

I have been here since the beginning, and I have ALWAYS connected with you on multiple levels. Thank you for sharing your testimony, its truly a joy to hear

[@DansonforJoy]

I loved hearing you describe your morning devotions and how important God is to you! 🤗📖☕️ I’m with you in wishing this was my everyday routine, but as a mama of little ones, I just try for it when I’m able. Thank you for sharing!

[@babymoon555]

I'm in the midst of personal growth and it can get chaotic, from healing inner childhood wounds to adjusting to life's changes. But when I watch your videos, I experience true peace and reassurance that I can one day live a simple and loving life like yours. I become hopeful again :)

[@haleybrt1]

Thank you for sharing your faith and not caring what people think! The world DESPERATELY needs more of that right now!! You’re an inspiration, Keep being you! I always love your videos 💕

[@alejandracolorado8227]

Love this comment section! So mucho love and nice words ❤️ sending my best wishes to all of you guys!

[@SonamPansari]

This is such a beautiful reminder to take time and think about yourself and the things you want!🧡 Love you for this vibe!😍😍

[@mshudsonr]

Thank you for this video.. I have been struggling a lot recently and have tried to stay away from youtube and social media as I find myself comparing to others and that it further damages my mental health. But, today... after a really hard morning I got on youtube and this was the video I chose. It calmed me in a big way... I am not religious but something about this video made me feel like maybe at least trying to find what best fits my beliefs might be what my soul needs to find the peace its desperate for.

[@yunahughes6484]

Morning devotions are the best. Refocusing on what truly matters in life. The joy comes in the morning 🙏🏼

[@kaylacruz4339]

Rachel, I love ❤️ that you are talking about and sharing your faith. I agree with you, money can not buy the peace and comfort that the Lord brings!!! 🙏🏼

[@truthfullypeacefulandlovin4803]

I love you sharing about reading your Bible. The shots in this video are so beautiful. Also, the editing is superb.

[@beverlytaylor4264]

She Reads Truth is amazing!! Much needed video!! Thank you!! ❤️

[@susanwilson2804]

Thanks, Rachel. Like you, I am contemplating homeschooling my 9th and 11th grader this coming school year. I am terrified at the prospect! Your video reminds me of the fact that it is the object of my faith (Jesus) that saves me and gives me hope, not the faith itself. Bless you!

[@autumnsulfridge3233]

I love your channel. Listen, I know how much of a struggle it is to open up about your faith. Particularly, when you're influencing such a large group of people, but thank you for sharing your struggle right now with the world.Keep wrapping yourself in the word and in God's love. Everything will work out. He's got this. I look forward to more videos such as this one. :)

[@by_annamoore]

Love to see you sharing a glimpse of your quiet time with God in the mornings. Thank you for using the platform you've been given to share your faith and being honest about questioning faith, as so many do. He is so much bigger than we are and we will never know all the answers, but we can put our hope in the One who knows it all. Keep reading, and praying! He loves you.

[@bamagirl4055]

I am a true believer in God too, and this video just inspires me to get up early and go out and admire the beauty he has given us & to be thankful for the life he has blessed me with. Thank you🙏 God Bless❤️

[@specialK180]

Love that you’re sharing a little bit about you and God. That’s just one way He’s working in you, Rachel. The world needs more of that. Thank you😊❤️

[@lurahshanti6494]

I really love this kind of energy✨

[@cupcake50jh]

I devoted over a year to start my day with the word of god our time together is a great start to every morning. I feel like there is nothing I could conquer with him by my side. Is good to embrace and take time with the lord we are in precedence time of so many things happening that could fear or confused us. Let the lord lead you to the truth and put you at ease and in peace. Great video very peaceful thanks for sharing your bless day. Have a bless weekend.

[@jessicahayes8701]

Absolutely love this video. So motivating yet peaceful. I’ve also decided to read all the way through my bible this year and I’ve read it very day so far. It’s amazing what verses speak to you each time you reread them. Is there a devotional you love? I’m looking for a new one.

[@rafiaimran3163]

"Money couldn't buy for what it does to my soul." I love you Rachel ❤ first time commenting.

[@Sunshiny_dae]

Amen, I love starting my day with God. Since the pandemic our church family has a morning prayer group via Facebook live and when my kiddos nap I spend time reading. I’m going through the New Testament in the NLT currently, God bless.

[@cathleenhoward5229]

Loved this video - so peaceful.

[@e.c.squared2507]

Rachel, this video was a breath of fresh air. Loved it!

[@annyg1757]

Watching your videos is like a little piece of heaven❣️. I started reading my bible each Sunday out on the deck a few years back. For daily contemplation I've been reading 'Jesus Always', which a friend gifted me at Christmas. It is like you say, very comforting & makes us think about things from different perspectives. I do need to try the early morning rising though....because that sounds blissful.🙏💕

[@lincyhephzibah8895]

Amen.!! He is our living hope..

[@amandanorman7249]

Very motivating & a great reminder of how refreshing an early start can be.

[@ruati_khawlhring5196]

This is definitely the most relaxing yet productive morning routine i've ever seen....I'm a big for yours for a very long time now🤭😄 and your routine videos are always on my playlist😄and i'm really happy to see reading Bible as part of your routine😇 May God Bless you and stay safe🙏🏽😍🌼

[@raquelfreeman9393]

You have inspired me to read my entire Bible. I have never read it all the way from Genesis to Revelations…I feel like I can do it. 🙏🏼

[@berthaocegueda3656]

I’m glad you spoke about god. Many ppl are scared to even speak. Due to the fact the now people “get offended”. May god bless your family and you.

[@malonso212004]

Can I like this video 1000 times a day?! Thank you for sharing your faith with us. I’ve been a longtime subscriber and I can’t tell you how happy I am to know we share the same faith. Your videos have always given peace and now I know why. Thank you!

[@kata8686]

I love these kinds of mornings. I haven't seen once since becoming a mom. My 3 year old wakes up at 5:30am every day. So for me to get that quiet time I'd have to take a cut in my already lacking sleep lol. But someday I hope, I'll be able to do something like this again! Getting quiet time/solitude before the rest of the world wakes up is such a beautiful thing.

[@LaMusique192]

That little nature / spiritual montage during the first half was so beautiful, I think it made this my fave video of yours ever. It really resonated with me and nearly brought tears to my eyes ❤️

[@bekkahray]

[@ravensanchez7533]

Yeeess, Amen. The best way to try to start the day! My God continue to bless you and keep you and your family. Thanks for sharing❣

[@athomeimmum2247]

This resonated with me so much. From 6000 miles away I have so many elements of my life which are identical because there is an inner calling to find yourself before you share it with the world. We just need to make the space and time to deliver this to ourselves and our faith. Every single day. Best wishes from England.

[@EnCasaConPatty]

🙏🏻 you are such an inspiration. God bless you

[@Courtney6]

I’m in SoCal too and wake up at 5am every day to have alone time before my family wakes up. It starts getting light around 5:15 now. Lovely video 💕

[@joycetaylor3064]

I enjoyed this so much and I ordered the bible! I am reading in Acts and love the way Luke writes, I am looking forward to this translation. Keep up the good work!

[@elizabacelar]
