My 2023 theme: THIS is the day the LORD has made & I WILL rejoice & be glad in it!

[@chantal2049]

PS. I think my theme will be:”…..and then God steppend in…”

[@texasmimi5566]

I love this. It is Psalm 118:24. I had business cards made up with this saying on it and added balloons to make it festive. I hand them out when I run into someone whose birthday it is, or I place in birthday cards I mail. I will also hand write this in birthday cards. My mantra is, and always will be Psalm 46:10: "Be Still and Know that I Am God".

[@S.F.L]

[@Krista_Rose7]

As someone dealing with chronic illness/disability, thank you for your prayer for healing. I look forward to your videos each weekend and the leadership and wisdom you share!

[@sherrywiley4817]

Praying for you. May God give you His comfort, peace and healing, Krista. 🙏💞🙏

[@DianaKokku]

AMEN!! And thank you for your kind encouragement! Blessings and love 💛☺️

[@elizabethsydnor5247]

Roseb66, Read Psalm 103, especially verse 3, where God PROMISES to heal ALL our diseases, as believers. This is a radical promise. But we need to believe God and TAKE it. My friend is now healed of stage 4 breast and bone cancer. She is taking medication from the doctors, but she ABSOLUTELY believes her miraculous healing is coming primarily through the 95 healing Scriptures in the Bible, that she studies on every single day. Psalm 107:20 is another one, where God says its His WORD that provides our healing. I just wanted to encourage you, that you can receive complete healing through Biblical means. God bless you, precious woman of God!!!

[@sallypage8004]

I just ordered my book!! I am hoping to do a small group at my church eventually! ❤ And Diana, you talk about your mental capacity, but I look at you and see ALL the things you are doing and think “WOW!” You are doing so much!!

[@HILARI333]

I let go of the old, the negative, and what no longer serves me. I welcome in all that is new, warm, joyful, healthy, and beneficial, to me and others, in 2023!!!

[@laurabotts4064]

You girls are so much fun together and you're leaving us with some very important messages.

[@jacklynnsmith5668]

Exactly 💯

The original saying was If you sprinkle when you tinkle, Be a sweetie, wipe the seatie

[@conniebirdsong4947]

Diana and Dawn, you girls are so refreshing, and I glean so much from both of you! I am old enough to be your mother...my oldest son turned 40 last September. I was 26 when I had him, and our youngest son was born 13 days after I turned 40 (total of 5 boys and 2 girls). So, Diana, my word of encouragement to you is your kids will keep you young! I homeschooled all of them, then went back to college in my 50's and also started running at the encouragement of my daughters. I now work full time as a paralegal and babysit weekly for our 21-month old grandson. Life is full, I am blessed, and I have been intentionally minimizing/decluttering since last year. Just listened to y'all while making superhero muffins and, since I was in the kitchen, removed four glasses and one mug from the cupboards to donate, and tossed one old dried makeup tube. Thanks for all the encouragement!

[@shelleykapp9637]

I was watching a KZbin video of Kirk Cameron chatting with his sister, Candace. She talked about the Lord giving her a word as a theme for the upcoming year. That was a new idea for me. As I continued to listen to the episode I "heard" my word: Rest. I feel like I got permission to relax after 5 years of taking care of medical emergencies with my husband, sister, and best friend.

[@angelagibson9793]

My motto for the year is: CLUTTER FREE IN 2023 Love listening to ya'll laugh 😃 Greetings from SE Texas.

[@krybastian2611]

Hi Diana, Have you considered giving Dawn or other friends/ family gardening supplies for future gifts? These can be very practical and well received to support a loved one’s interest in gardening. Items like seeds can be a lot of fun to pick out and receive for both kids and adults…Depending on the seeds, the recipient can give a follow up gift back in the form of flowers or vegetable/ canned or fresh. In addition, time spent together, planting and or harvesting from the garden can be part of the gift, as well….❤️

[@latoniakimery6935]

Your devotional was my favorite Christmas present from my husband! Because I have spoken so much about you all since I found y'all on KZbin, he said, "Honey, I listened to you!" I have to admit, I feel sad when I get to Friday and have to wait the weekend before I start on the next 5 days! I love how your words of encouragement minister to me, but also how Holy Spirit continues and drops other things into my heart. He causes me to dig deeper. I am a Pastor's Wife and I am looking forward to possibly leading a small group after I get my house done. I am almost done decluttering my kitchen for today! Thank you both for being who you are! Blessings from East TN!

[@DianaKokku]

Wow!! This is such thoughtful and meaningful encouragement!! Thank you so much for taking time to share! Blessings and love 💛☺️

Someone at my job put a sign in the employee bathroom that says " Ladies stay seated for the entire performance. Gentlemen stand closer , it's shorter than you think. A little crude ,but as a woman I appreciate the reminder to the guys 😀

Diana, my sister in law is a twin, and they didn't have all their teeth either. They've had extensive teeth work, and they have beautiful smiles like you and Dawn.

I had never considered my squirrely brain was from my late in life pregnancy and now my start of the pause.... lol... I had my first child at 28 and my second at 40... and now I am 52. I think they keep us young lol... or at least I like to believe that

[@johannabennetts64]

Oh my goodness, I have to share… 😂 sometimes my boys watch KZbin with me and they’ve been sick so they’ve had a little extra. We watched this video and at dinner my 11- yo son prayed that “Diana-Dawn’s sister’s brain would work properly” serious as can be. 😂 Oh and I had kids in my thirties and you never get it back. But the trade off is you have so much wisdom. 😉

[@shaunadumelle1624]

So much fun! My husband and I met working at hobby lobby. He still works there (10 years now), I stay home now with the kids :)

[@ilibertyi]

Love it when you two are together! But....what Hobby Lobby are you at where it's not crowded?? EVERYtime I go, it's like an obstacle course!

[@Rosa-kf6yy]

Awww, Diana. You're still so pretty even with your missing bridge. :) Love you guys!!

[@sherrywiley4817]

Dawn & Diana, I just wanted to let you know that I purchased your book a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVE IT! 😍 Not only is it SO helpful with decluttering but the connection to scripture really spoke to me! It truly made me realize that I don't really need all this extra stuff cluttering up my home! The true JOY in my life comes from Jesus and spending time in His Word. De-cluttering is so freeing and gives you time to focus on God and the cherished people in your life, and that type of JOY just can't be measured! 💞🤗🙏💗 I couldn't more HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book, it's so beautifully put together! It really helps you search yourself to see what's most important in YOUR life! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@DianaKokku]

Wow!! Thank you for this thoughtful and very meaningful encouragement!! It truly means so much (truly). So grateful we can be on the journey together! Blessings and love ☺️💛

[@cathycampbell942]

I like that that you picked out the same frames from the same store. My mother has a sister they are not twins. They have purchased the same dishes for their home. They have purchased the same furniture pieces for their home they live about an hour away from each other. Crazy things that sister do the same

[@vickitucker9930]

You two make me smile all the time. Thank you for your love 💕

[@dianasimplifies]

I need that sign to say our standards have lowered with each pet 😂😂😂😂😂 The people who don’t come over from Dawns channel are missing out! I love you two together and this is always Dawn “unplugged” 😂😂😂 Diana they don’t say my name correctly either. It’s annoying! Funny (but sad) they don’t know who the Princess is!

[@DianaKokku]

Bahahaha! You have me laughing and smiling at each point!! 😆💛☺️

[@ladykatietx]

"Too tired to care"...hit the nail on the head. 💯 Excited to listen!

[@kathy777]

my theme: Act Justly, love mercy, walk humbly with thy God. Micah 6:8 . I sent Diana a picture of the sign I made saying that.

[@dannhorne9782]

I’m so proud that Dawn did not buy anything at HobLob. I’m not going there or Target at all in January and February. Also super glad that you are posting a Friday video. For the longest time when I came home on Friday I had my coffee and watched Dawn. Even though Dawn is no longer posting on Friday I can still get my post work week video treat on Friday afternoon!!

Please continue with your Bible plan. I am really finding it encouraging. Having the daily guide is super useful. I am on no other social platform so very much appreciate what you do on you tube. God has blessed me with the motivation to read it each day and stay on track. Thank you so much.

My last 3 kids were in my 40s and I totally feel the brain thing 😆 I'm 48 now and baby just turned 5 and now I'm entering menopause so your worries while valid- I encourage you to embrace them. I've been having kids for over 27 years and the freedom of accepting myself with less know-it-all ness is freeing.

I love that you reference Princess Diana because I sometimes will say "Elizabeth... like the queen" which is always hysterical because I'm a very wash and go, simple person.

Dawn with your mad skills I am surprised you don’t make your own sign and put it in your own frame like the one that matches your recent 40th gift from Diana. No real expense, already own the frame, room for creativity-you decide lettering, placement, font and the pride of doing it for yourself. Just a thought.
