How I Gained Confidence...in a way I didn't expect

[@alanaoliveira7118]

I was praying for confidence. When I finished, this vídeo was there. He used you for me. God bless you even more.

[@kaylalee1302]

I just found your channel not too long ago, and watched all your videos already! I look forward to your new videos every week. I love your videos so much. Most of all, you have The Lord and His Son Jesus Christ in your life.💕🙂

[@janahallam54]

You didn't lose at the playground... You won by being the person to stay calm and understanding. What the world needs more of. That is winning! Xo

[@moniquehernandez97]

Wonderful message. I’m sorry I didn’t get the title of the book? I did look on your Amazon favorites but couldn’t tell what book you referenced. Thank you so much.

[@julietpotrykus9075]

I'd like to know too. Also couldn't figure out which one

[@cathyadams2243]

Yes I would like the book title too! So enjoy your heart for the Lord!

[@becomingme2689]

What book exactly are you talking about in the video. About becoming less and losing and becoming good at it?

[@vallantz5877]

The part that moved me was “I want to stay weak.” Thank you for the tender and vulnerable way you shared this! More of Him and less of me always resonated with me and you have described how blessings in deed spring from our meekness ❤️🙏

[@krisvanallen]

About that mom…..you handled that so well. Who knows what she went through in that day already, what her life is at home, how her family or parents' health are…..you were so gracious to her. A blessing.

[@annav.9722]

Lord didn‘t designe us (Moms) to be perfect. He designed us just to be there. Thank you so much for your content! 😊🙏🏻 Greetings from a christian Mom from Germany! ♥️

[@krisvaughan1531]

Lots of wisdom from someone so young. My mom is 92 and has never stepped out of her comfort zone or taken risks and hates it when my kids and I do. She has missed out on so much! Love your list.

[@MegaMariSF]

I LOVE the story of how you’ve handled that situation with the other mom! SO inspiring and a great reminder that we CAN choose to be “the bigger person” and just respond to harshness with kindness. The absolute best reminder! It’s fine to let other people win. We don’t have to prove ourselves right to anyone when we know the trough in our hearts. Aka, we can tell our ego to shush and go on about our lives. Thank you for sharing that with us! 💗

[@120mitchmd]

Confidence definitely comes with aging too.. I cannot take anymore crap at 41. 😂 I’ve always been a timid and self-conscious type of person but truly my faith has helped boost my confidence knowing that I have a Father who is with me through ups and downs. He is guiding me by the power of the Holy Spirit which is the greatest gift and more wonderful than I could ever ask for! Thanks for sharing! I need to get into minimalism 🤍

[@catherinepoisson3169]

This is such a powerful message! And the concept of losing, and losing gracefully kind of blew my mind, in the best way. What a breath of fresh air! I love all of your videos - they always provide a unique, positive, and inspirational view. I feel even more at peace after watching your content. And thank you for always sharing honestly with your subscribers and followers!

[@rosiesanchez8048]

When you said that your life purpose is to serve the Lord, I said "okay I'm subscribing." I want everything in my life to point me to God. :) I'm so happy to be new here. :)

[@adrie7318]

I had a similar experience when I was at Walmart one day and I left my cart in the middle of the aisle. A woman moved it out of the way aggressively and looked at me saying "why would you leave your cart in everybody's way" I felt this peace to just stare at her. Almost as if my emotions weren't there. The old me would have said something. But the more I starred she looked back flipped me off and she accidentally bumped into an island snack shelf. Another man walked by with a smiled and said "she must be having a bad day" I knew in my heart The Lord was with me the moment i felt his peace.

[@evalindell2757]

In my eyes you were the big winner by keepin cool and not lashing back at this woman or shying away. To be graceful what ever happens is the best both for you and for everybody else! ❤️ She is the true looser for not manageing the situation with grace. ❤️

[@notyourpieceofcake]

I have some "youtuber bestfriends", more like the fictional friends that we had in our childhood. You're one of my bffs cause I keep returning to your channel whenever I feel exhausted with life, even though I'm not a Christian, a white, or even someone who's living in the west (I live in a small country located in Southeast Asia). Thank you for the beautiful content. Take love 💕

[@krisvanallen]

You are so bare, and vulnerable…..I can’t thank you enough.

[@emilylehman9577]

Wow. I just found your KZbin channel a couple days ago. I am blown away by your heart for the Lord and how he is using you on this platform. I want to encourage you that you are truly speaking as someone filled with the spirit and humble for the Lord. I have already learned and gleaned so much from the few videos of yours that I’ve watched. I’m thanking God that he is using you, and that he allowed me to hear your wise words.

[@junehulton9776]

Well I just stumbled across your profile...me after watching this...I am so pleased...and I will continue to watch and I am slowly in learning ....how to regain strength, confidence...but I am sure it will come through life....in time.. Thank you for sharing...

[@debiulmer3672]

Honey, one of your many purposes in life is to share His word with us in a very relatable manor. I love your channel and I have to say that I normally skip over channels like your since I am 61 and in day to day life we would not have much in common but when I saw you video on 30 days of dresses I watched since I wear dresses. I have watched many of your videos since and each one I find more encouraging than the last. Your strength and resilience is amazing and a true blessing. May the good Lord give you strength and patience to continue making these videos as we all navigate this thing called life.

[@brookeparler7452]

I love your reminder to be diligent. That it doesn't happen overnight. So good to be able to look back and see that we're not the same people we used to be. All those tiny habits matter! They just take awhile to add up.

[@katie3700]

Wow, this was so good! Always try to remind myself of John 3:30 He must increase; I must decrease - so hard to do sometimes in today's society, but I've gotten so much from it and grown so much. Proud of your reaction - never too late to grow and learn!

[@chelissanaidoo9852]

So proud of the way Father God is growing you in His purpose. Get it girl❤️

[@jaclynwilson7978]

I’ve been struggling so much with my self esteem (have for years, but it’s been worse lately). This video was such an encouragement. I love your honesty and spirit, and how realistic this is 🤍

[@margaretmatheny]

So so glad, Jaclyn. Sending love!

[@laurens4864]

Thank you for another wonderful video. You have reminded me that no matter what is going on around me, if I KNOW my purpose, I won't get thrown around with every wind that blows my way. I need to get clear on my purpose daily. X

[@TechWithUsamanisar]

Keep spreading. You are an antidote to consumerism, capitalism and materialistic society. God bless you

[@ניצןק]

Margaret I’m so glad I found you and your special channel. Love u ♥️ These words are more than I could ask for. I honestly see myself in you.

[@mikaela7437]

I feel like God's really been changing me to be a peacemaker and your example is so well timed. Thank you God, for providing sisters to show me again and again

[@judihulslander298]

So very well said. Your authenticity radiates from you, Shalom!

[@justathought1971]

I love your channel girrrrl ! I wonder if their are any helpful truthful channels for guys these days? I know this channel is for everyone but … life seems mountainous for our good men lately and they don’t ever ask for help and sometimes don’t allow themselves to even to look for it

[@EliseWood]

You’re shirt or dress, whatever you’re wearing is so adorable!

[@stephanielegarda5443]

Thanks for sharing Margaret! What a great example at the playground...you stood in your peace and power without succumbing to the lower emotions - that sets a good example for your little one too!

[@marissaackerman4393]

There is a children’s book by John C. Maxwell called “Sometimes you win sometimes you learn” and it really has helped me as an adult, so when I read it to my kids I know it will help them too!

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

This came at the right time today, i know i am making alot of excuses for my attitude, i am so tired being one of them, but God stripped my of my independence years ago and it shook me to the core but it was all necessary, he is still taking things and people away to show me and teach me. It is hard when the world is very angry and loud and thinks it is alright, i am feeling pushed out, talked over and lonely. I am reacting in ways i never new were in me, mostly not great and i don,t like that vulnerability and neediness. thankgoodness Jesus is the one true rock on which we stand, faithful and unchanging, all glory to him. Thank you for sharing xxxxxxx

[@christinathorsen4274]

Thank you so deeply for creating this ❤ It truly spoke to my heart and soul. I'm on the journey to release anger & gain peace and confidence 🙏

[@yyg711]

Love how you believe in the Lord , blessings to you and your family. I am so blessed I found your channel and it has been so helpful to see all of go through hard things and all of us have our own brokenness but with Gods help and putting the hard work we can make a better version of ourselves.❤️🙏🏼

[@diana4846]

Margaret, thank you so much for sharing your videos!! They are like a crispy fresh morning air when i listen to you and brings me to such a deep realization that we can be happy with less!May God bless you!!

[@seashellsound]

Please keep doing these kind of videos..I am struggling with anger. I have 4 kids and I feel like I will never will find time for myself to heal and serve with joy. Also, I sufer from alopecia, and I feel that I will never have that self-esteem because of that.

[@laralabronbaldwin]

This is such a powerful video. I think finding one’s life’s purpose and dedicating to that is truly a blessing. When feeling lost or adrift (me) having that reminder to look at my life’s purpose is so what I needed to hear. Also I’ve been following you now for a couple of years and you’re just blossoming, you look so beautiful and in a great place. I’m so happy for you and the journey you’re on. Thank you for sharing yet again a great helpful video for others. Xx

[@SunshineBloom777]

This was so beautiful! & so needed! 🤍🌱 I love the way you speak about the Lord & Him in your life - it’s so genuine and personal! Thank you for encouraging me! My husband and I also had a dog/neighbor situation this week where we got screamed at so aggressively - it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced! I was definitely shaken up like did this really happen, why would people respond that way - but the Lord broke my heart for them - how truly sad of a life they must have to act like that to other humans. I pray for them. And forgive them. Even tho my hubby & I didn’t make the best choice in how it happened it was an honest mistake and it’s okay to fail, and I’m so thankful the Lord gave my hubby the strength to walk us away. I love how you handled your kiddo/mom situation. I do think the Lord has given me more courage to stand up for right and to recognize evil. And the grace to be able to move on and let it go! Love ya girl! 🙏🏻💝

[@jmsl_910]

you are a beautiful human. by that i mean, you have a beautiful soul. a true north

[@sharonf8188]

So much inspiration on faith and living well- thank you!

[@leek7987]

The story you told... that is not necessarily losing, that is being humble in spirit. That is what God wants from us.

[@12homeowners]

This. This right here. So, so good.

[@emmyfinck]

You are such a blessing, Margaret! Thank you for sharing your heart and encouraging us. Your advice is so helpful to me and your realness is refreshing❤️

[@tatiana.lifeinglow]

Your channel is lovely Margaret 🌻 Thank you for that story which you shared in the end.

[@krisswilliams]

Love this! Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency, and for sharing that very awkward and extremely uncomfortable but so relatable situation. The world seems to be so angry right now. It may have felt like you lost but really, you extended grace. 💙

[@katelyndurfee649]

I love this video, Margaret! “Well you tried. Way to go.” 🤣🤣🤣 I always love your honesty! :)

I had my 3rd baby this year and the last two I had them really close together. It's only been a month since my 3rd baby has been alive. Sadly I've had 3 panic attacks. I thought I could handle having them close together ❤️ 😕

Hi Margaret! I just watched a video of your minimal makeup from two years ago, loved everything….but I’m intrigued by the cream blush stick, can’t find it on Beautycounter, is it discontinued?

It's so interesting that the behavior that the woman didn't like in your child, was something she modeled (x10) at the adult level. Too bad you didn't have a mirror available to calmly hold up to her. 😋
