I don’t see that the Mennonites are any different from the Baptist’s except for the covering.

[@sampsontarawilliams2170]

I love when you sit and have a chat with us. I feel like I'm having coffee with a friend!

Congrats on reaching 50,000 subscribers!! I really enjoy watching you and Megan Fox's channel. You both have such great personality and love for your family!

[@shellyminton5403]

You earn the the things this channel has afforded you. Keep it up it’s great.

[@Jenn-TheCraftingClairs]

I love learning about your background. My great grandma was a Pennsylvania Dutch too. ❤ I love how positive your videos are. Your vibe you put off is so warming. Keep the videos coming! 😊

[@jenniferh3858]

I like your channel because your not commercial. I appreciate seeing someone focused on faith, family & home😊

[@southofhere85]

We attend a church in Wisconsin, similar to what you described in Florida. We were raised in a more conservative setting, I completely agree with you on how its good to search the scriptures for yourself and have convictions of your own. And I love that you are so respectful of all Amish/Mennonites, and that you honestly and openly educate those who have questions, there are so many misconceptions out there.

[@ericahoelscher3733]

The way you answered the question about your income was so graceful. Sometimes influencers are defensive about being monetized, I think because there’s a perception that making and posting videos is easy. I know it’s not easy and it’s very time consuming. Yours was just an open, honest, and lovely response!

[@momoomaw]

My husband and I are Christians as well, we’re a young couple and moved into a house and your decorating videos are a breath of fresh air. I love your style and we will be purchasing the article leather couch you have soon after we save up! Thank you for making videos!

[@KimBerly-su7wx]

Do you think maybe you could do a video where you and Nick talk to each other in Dutch? I would love to hear y’all. I so, so enjoyed getting to know you better through your q&a.

[@debrapenney4281]

Your so sweet I would have loved to hear your "long winded" version of the answers to the questions - and congratulations on hitting 50K actually 51 now!

[@BLWSquared]

I’m discerning my path towards the Mennonite “Faith”, and you have been such an inspiration and beacon of hope that I can do this- navigate this world but not be of this world. Thank you for constantly offering hope to this Christ seeking mama.

[@Lovesall_pugmixes]

Psalm 121 is my personal favorite. I love your channel. Love from Waynesboro, Pa

[@lindseymariebell5087]

I've always been curious and interested in the mennonite lifestyle. I think it's so great that you are so comfortable telling us your story. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@diannewyss8969]

Thanks again Lynette for sharing your life style, biblical convictions and daily living. May God bless your family.

[@thisgoldenhour]

I grew up speaking low german (similar to PA dutch although I think dutch incorporates more high german), but same as you - having trouble passing it on to my kids! Gotta keep working on it :)

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

I really wish Dutch was passed on to me. But since my mom didn't speak it it was kind of an uphill battle for my dad!

[@LynetteYoder]

😏 I understand!! especially hard if mom doesn’t speak it.

[@TheEpic10101]

I grew up around a lot of older people speaking it and really regret not taking more time to learn. Now there aren't a lot of people my age around that know it. My husband does, some, but not enough to teach me. It was a big part of why I chose to take German for many years in school. Definitely try to get your kids interested and pass it on ❤

[@jessicaderstine4061]

My grandparents stopped talking it when their first 2 kids wouldn't answer in Dutch. It completely stopped there and none of the family knows it.

[@barbarawhite4225]

You don't need to give back to us, simply because you give us all so much of yourself, being open and kind and letting us share parts of your life. Stay well Lynne!! Hugs!!

[@katherinezembal8680]

Love your videos you are an amazing family. God has richly blessed you. You will have to do a video about how the boys like school. Thank you for sharing. I am Pentecostal in faith but appreciate your standards of serving God.

[@maryqueenofScots2023]

Yes I am looking forward to hearing how they like school too!

I really enjoy the Q & A videos. They’d never seem too lengthy! Looking forward to the next. So interesting to hear of the Mennonite/Amish backgrounds.

[@jennifernewth1489]

Loving your channel! Your channel is so much more than just lifestyle inspirations. For me, it is a way to sort of “fellowship” with a wonderfully well rounded Christian woman. Thank you for your ministry. It is priceless. And on a side note, I am impressed your are making an income from KZbin videos. You deserve it, and more.

[@dragondaeneris7300]

That's a really good coment and the truth wish you all the best God bless you and your family

[@kaylahspann7528]

I’m glad you shared all the way through verse 3. Sometimes anxieties can be more so at night right? It’s nice to be reminded that He never sleeps or slumbers. He allows us to trust in Him and take rest while He keeps watch. That’s an encouraging thought. 💕

[@brittanyblankenship5166]

This was very interesting! We are Christ Followers although not as conservative as some with certain things. I love learning about different religions and denominations. My husband recently graduated with his BA in religion and the discussions that his studies allowed us to dive into, have been amazing and invaluable and truly made us dive into our beliefs and take a hard look at what we truly feel the Bible says when looking at social context of the time coupled with the Greek and Hebrew translations. We’ve also developed a deep appreciation for other religions as they have convictions as strong as ours, and while we may not agree, they deserve to be respected. I love the style of your home! It’s so cozy and wish my home was similar. Finances haven’t really allow us to choose a lot of our style but hopefully that will change in the coming years. Are you naturally a good housekeeper? I’m not and it’s VERY hard for me to keep a tidy home normally. That’s now compounded with being pregnant with our 6th child and all the physical hurdles that entails. I’ve rambled but wanted to say you’re adorable and I enjoy your channel :)

[@joyhopescott8939]

I also live in FL but don't have any Mennonite churches near. I'm starting my journey of covering my head today, as I just got my first coverings in the mail :) Thank you for your influence and inspiration! God bless you.

[@amandacouch1366]

I couldn’t be more excited about you having a girl!!

[@LynetteYoder]

🙌🏼💕

[@EllenMHelms]

Between my parents and our blended family, I have five older brothers. My mother was 38 when I was born at 2:30am and the nurses had to quiet her because she talked on and on about how excited she was having a girl 💗 and because she had a baby girl, she dressed me in dresses until I was about 10, except for a snowsuit. I climbed trees, roads a bike, played in the dirt, in a dress or skirt. I went through several years wearing modest-ish slacks; for the past several years, I’ve made my own dresses and don’t own any slacks 🙂

[@hgib3]

It was sweet of you to share more about being Mennonite with the rest of us who are not. Congratulations on your soon coming baby girl! I would love to be entered into this drawing, thank you.

[@ForTheLoveOfMike]

I'm a full-time caregiver to my husband battling Stage IV cancer. Since I don't get out much, watching your videos feels like listening a friend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and faith 💕

I enjoyed this longer chatty video! It's funny that you said your favorite thing about FL is the weather... my first thought was "ooh, the weather would be my least favorite!" ;) We had fireants where I grew up in TX also. They are awful! I am always up for a longer video-- I enjoy feeling like I'm hanging out with a friend while I clean. Love verse of the day too.

[@wendyschlegel5031]

You set a wonderful example of living a Christ - like life in today's world. It's not easy.

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

So very interesting to learn about your background. Here in Washington state there are Hutterites from Hutterian brethren. They said they share common roots with the Amish & Mennonites. The Hutterite booth at our farmers market is most in demand for baked goods, eggs, vegetables.

[@renaash3699]

Happy Monday Lynette! Looking super cute with that bump. 😉

[@michelleturner-hughes1818]

Hi Lynette! I enjoy your videos. I grew up in a Mennonite community here in Kentucky. My grandparents (from Kentucky) became Mennonites when missionaries traveled here from Pennsylvania and Delaware in the early 1940's. So I grew up immersed in the Mennonite environment and enjoyed many of the traditions that you talk about and do miss it a lot sometimes! Best wishes to you and your little family!!

[@BB-mz3kf]

Hey Lynette ~ look up on the internet: "Diatomaceous Earth + Ants" We use this, it is a FOOD GRADE of diatomaceous earth, so it won't hurt anyone's pets if they happen upon it. We got ours on Amazon, and you can get something called a 'Pest Pistol" for it that looks like an accordian bottle of sorts with a powder mister spout on it to 'poof' the dust onto carpets and such if you were to get fleas or some such bitting bug in the house. It dries out the bugs and they die, and you aren't putting chemicals on your property. There is another kind of diatomaceous earth you may see at Walmart and such, but it is NOT food grade, and can harm pets, kids, etc so make sure not to get that one. - it is for pools to clean them if you have a diatomaceous earth filter for that purpose. It was very interesting to hear about the customs of Mennonites regarding hair and coverings, as well as dress and when that starts age-wise. Thanks, I learn something everytime I watch a video you make. Blessings!

This just randomly came up in my suggested videos today. I hit play out of curiosity but I’m so glad I did. My mom passed away in 1996 and I’ve really been missing her lately. Your Bible verse was her very favorite and it helped my heart to hear it. Thank you.

I am a new subscriber to your channel but I have been watching you before you moved to Florida. I just turned 71 last week and I do enjoy getting on you tube and watching all these young mothers decorate their homes and watching them with their small children. It brings back so many memories when our two daughters were little. Now we have 4 grandchildren 3 girls and one boy. I got tickled when you said you found the south secret and I did too. Fire ants. We were from Ky. and moved down to southeast Ga. 28 years ago. Kind of a cultural shock but we still don't miss the cold.
