You are a blessing to everyone who watches you. You encourage and motivate me so much. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family.

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thank you!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@AmyFritz you're so very welcome, sweet friend. Hope you're doing well this lovely Tuesday.

[@NiNitosix]

I wanted to tell her the same thing. You are so right, Alma. 💕 she’s been a huge blessing to me in my life here lately. I’m so glad to see you often Amy.

[@kimacker8594]

So true Amy, let's all be thankful for how God has blessed us instead of noticing what we don't have.

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!!!

[@mello3214]

Precious Amy, I really hope my comment reaches you! You are an encouragement to many, please never stop giving your spiritual sage advice! If even just one person gets touched by your encouragement then ITS WORTH IT. I’m 64; and really blessed to see and hear someone in your age group to be wise enough to be in your space with the Lord! God bless you honey on your life’s journey and your sweet family! 🙏🙏❤️

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks so much!!!

[@irmagranger7148]

Hi Amy - I’m not one to add comments very often but I’m reaching out to say how happy it made me feel to watch you accomplish your goal of completing your first marathon. God is using you to be an inspiration to many of us who follow you. Thank you for being you and using your channel and story to share you, your faith and your life’s journey with us. I appreciate you so much.

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you so much!

[@onepartwild]

One trick I use for flower arranging is to put a glass or mason jar inside the pitcher. It works!

[@AmyFritz]

Great idea!

[@nadiakennedy2069]

yes! i do the same

[@pamelajohnson4989]

WoW! I loved your closing encouragement. The Lord has also been telling me to get off social media alot more than I am. Thank you for sharing your morning with us. I'm headed off for a vacation with my family to the mountains. Be blessed today!

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!!! You too🥰

[@lorenabatson8569]

I wrote down what you said about quiet your mind, quiet your home and focus on what God has for you today....so lovely ❤. I've just started Lysa TerKeurst podcast and am hooked!!

Thank you!❤️

[@carmenM-ey6qy]

I really like listening to the “Focus on the Family” app!

[@samanthakwait8782]

I listen to podcasts while I do house work. It helps me stay focused and on task better.

[@myaustrianfarmhouse]

Your Videos are always so peaceful amy! I decluttered a lot in the past month, it made me so happy to give them to other people 😊 there are people who cannot buy decor pieces...so making them smile was so big, thankful to the lord for what we have! God bless you ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@wandabell2120]

Thank you Amy for being so authentic. Your voice is so sweet and your way of life brings so much joy and peace. I appreciate your encouraging words.

Amy, as always I enjoyed your video! I want to say thank you for always being bold enough to speak about your faith and speaking words of encouragement to your viewers. I pray that God will continue to bless you and your family!

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you🥰❤️

[@user-mt5tr2od7z]

Thank you for this important and encouraging message to "be still . . . and know that I am God." We allow ourselves to be distracted by so many things that use up the precious time God has given us. You've made your home so beautiful and welcoming. I've enjoyed watching you decorate it and am looking forward to what you will share about your new home.

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you😊

[@chrissybackes1942]

I felt the same conviction girl.. Through the preaching of the word at church I knew God was correcting me on wasted time that I was doing on instagram,giving more time to him is so much more important ❤ Getting chores done as well instead of just looking at other people and seeing what they’re doing..

[@SRivera-oi5kg]

Thanks for your channel. My Mom is 92’and I am taking care of her. I keep you on for comfort and turns out for motivation. I am home all day caring for her so thanks for keeping me motivated to keep pushing thru. God bless

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!🙏🏼❤️

[@chrissybackes1942]

I actually stopped flowing a lot of people who don’t bring me purpose ❤❤❤ I was actually hearing your video while getting ready for work

[@s.deniseratliff3695]

My favorite pocasts: Lisa Harper's Back Porch Theology, Candace Cameron Bures podcast and God is Within Her by Val Reynolds. ❤

[@relliot1000]

You are such a blessing. I started a Bible reading plan in January and it goes through the whole Bible in a year. I listen to my verses each day usually while doing dishes or laundry. I love it because my kids hear it too. We have a rule about no screen time until you’ve read your Bible each day, and I like to show my kids that I stick to that rule too.

[@AmyFritz]

❤️❤️❤️

[@shannonfleming-wood476]

Thank you for your positive messaging around therapy and mental health. Such great role modeling! I must say that therapy has been a huge gift to every member of our family, and it makes me so glad to see you confidently share how it can benefit all of us. Thank you!

You look so pretty in this video! Where are your shorts and pink shirt from? 😍

[@pamelamaurer2076]

I admire that you are able to keep a slower pace with 3 children. My children are in their 20’s now but I tried and tried to keep a slower pace pace but the world of sports did not allow that.

Hi Amy! I gave up on social media about a month ago now and let me tell you, I have not felt such contentment and peace in over a decade! Just like you said, it quiets the noise. I am so glad I found you on KZbin as you are such a positive light ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks so much!😊

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you so much! You too❤️

[@spinnyjb1]

I say that “eat the frog”🐸 saying too! Whether at work or at home. It works! I love Huberman Lab podcast to learn new things. They are long and it takes a long time to get through one for me but I love them. Moving social media icon off my main Home Screen of my phone has helped. I don’t have notifications on for any of them. I love your videos ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!!!

[@philandheatherfujimoto4331]

Wow, praying for a speedy recovery!🙏🏼❤️

This blessed my day abundantly! Keep putting out this amazing content! Love in Christ!

[@dawngamez9761]

Love it!!! Love all the encouragement you give! Praise and Worship is what I listen to when I am cleaning, decluttering or any projects. That's what gets me through it all!❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks🥰

[@KizandSis]

Amy...What a calming spirit you have!! It soothes my mind just hearing how calm you are. I truly love your rose bushes!! They are so beautiful. I asked on instagram if you could give me the details on them. I would love to start a rose garden next year and the color of these pink/lavender tea roses are spectacular. We moved into a different home last July so we are finished with the landscaping that we are going to do this spring. But next year...roses are something I would really like to venture in to. Thank you for your gentle spirit and calming manner. You are a true comfort to me. Blessings from Idaho Gina S

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!❤️ They are coral knock out roses.

[@JillMiller-qi8hh]

Thanks for the video! Love the encouragement. You are wise!

Thanks!

[@christined2495]

I’m so grateful I found your channel, I will repeat what others have said in the comments, you’re truly a blessing.. I appreciate how you love being a homemaker and mother and wife. I am the same way, I am a homebody who loves to live a simple life, my family and home, I feel very blessed. I also wanted to thank you because of your videos, I have stepped up my exercise, I even bought a Fitbit,and walking over 12k steps daily.. thank you xo

[@AmyFritz]

That’s so kind, thank you!!!

[@Liz-jp9ro]

Amy I want to let you know that about 4 yrs ago I had to leave my job for health reasons. As a hustle and bustle type of woman, going on disability which took another year…was difficult for me. I too sought a therapist for this reason and still see her. She’s like a friend now. Then covid hit. I spent my time learning to take time for myself, fixing the house and quite honestly with my then high school son home for school, I enjoyed it having lunch together, talking more. And one of the main reasons I mentally was able to tackle a lot of things are bc of channels like yours. Such motivation! So Thank You! I have found motivation to make my home more cozy and comfy. I love your channel especially bc of our love for God. ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thank you!!!

[@TS-wb4xc]

You look amazing , beautiful home! God bless

It's so important to be grateful each and every day for whatever you have and whatever you are able to accomplish. Thanks for sharing, you little boy is so cute! 💙

[@mariehayes6934]

Oh, my.This is my favorite video! Love your advice about slowing down, turning off the noise around you. Our world today is too fast paced and upsetting- and yes, God wants us to to slow down and savor the everyday precious moments with our children because they will be all grown up before we know it. Thankyou for such a beautiful video and reminder of putting God in our everyday moments. ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!!!

[@jkp62]

Amy, time with God and His Word fills are hearts no matter when we read or listen to it. As for moving, I am sure you have been given this advice, wait several months of living in your new home before purchasing furniture or rugs, etc, put what you have now in your rooms and live with that before jumping into large purchases.

[@marycasey9404]

Amy, you could not be any more true about turning off the noises in your life. I have had to scale back from social media and tune more into my scriptures online. It is there that I find true peace and fulfillment. I am a better wife, mother, grandmother, and artist after a day with good words and music. Thank you for reminding me❤

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thanks❤️

[@suziemiller6712]

Thank you for your channel, Amy. You are an inspiration and I appreciate your simplicity and outlook on life.

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!!!

[@tiffanybrantley23]

My routine has been way off for a while now and I've struggled to get it back together, but I'm currently dealing with a minor injury that is keeping me from doing my favorite activity, which I acknowledge is a time-consuming activity, so though I'm bummed to take the necessary downtime to heal, it has definitely helped me to catch back up with some tasks (weed-eating, cleaning up the back of my property, etc.) that I had been woefully negligent with lately! Your videos are always a calming place I like to visit when I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, and the timer tip is always one I enjoy and am so glad you reminded me of today!

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!!!😊

This is such an encouraging video. The way the Lord is using you is such a blessing to others. I have also felt convicted to spend less time on social media, so this video is right on time. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thank you!

[@TheRayjane]

Amy you have encouraged me to scale back on social media. I have been thinking about putting my phone and iPad down and read my Bible more or listen to worship music. We are alike in a way that I love serenity and don’t enjoy having lots of things to do in one day. I guess I like a quiet slower life. You are such a treasure …I wish you many blessings

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you❤️

I so loved your talk about wasting time. I've been there now for about a month trying to cut back on my time on utube and Facebook and more time with bible study. I believe we will be accountable for time wasted and I want to get better at that. I can't tell you how much you motivate me and bless me with your life style and you talks. Please just keep it up if you can.

Thank you!!!😊

Hi Amy, I absolutely wait for your videos, my favorite for sure...I have a question.....do you post below your videos the products you use in that video? I have tried to find your candles or products you used in this video and must be overlooking them, tried reading the transcript but it doesn't come up like you say it and I didn't catch it when you said it, for instance the transcript reads Krea products....can't find that on the internet....thank you

I started doing the Bible recap with Tara-Leigh Cobble this year. It only takes about 15-20 minutes a day. Reading the Bible in a year seemed intimidating, but I usually just listen to the Bible and Tara-Leigh does a recap about the verses. It has been super attainable.
