The part about you not wearing weave anymore really sticks out to me because no one speaks about how some black women aren’t wearing weave to protect their hair, but because they want to look a certain way to attract people. The hair itself isn’t the problem. It’s just the intention behind it. You could attract certain people with your hair and I feel like because of racism It affects black women’s self-esteem in a different way, sometimes it can become ungodly if you don’t keep your insecurities in check. Many black women feel pushed to be a certain way. Literally if you don’t have a certain personality you are labeled as weird or white washed. I’m happy for people finding themselves in christ and not the world. Glad to see Jesus working in you and using your story to make an impact.
No Tv , No music, little contact with the outside world because of the influence it has in me. Totally relatable. Wow. I thank God for you ladies. Keep going💛💛💛😏😃
Hi I know this is a very old comment and this may sound kind of silly, but what ways do you stay away from the influence of the world? I guess what I am trying to ask is how do you avoid outside contact with the world. I struggle soo much with being influenced by everything I see. Again this may be a really dumb question, but I’m just vv curious. 😭😭
@@aj-nd3zzHey! I know it’s a little bit of a late response but some ways are to not listen to secular music. A lot of singers nowadays sing stuff thats very demonic or inappropriate that might have a bad influence. Also, the things that you may watch. Be careful with those too because it may not seem like it sometimes, but it has a huge influence on how we feel, and can make us feel depressed, guilty, etc. And the people you hang around. This was really hard for me but i feel way better overall after not interacting with them. They were a bad influence and led me into bad things like gossiping, judging, cursing, and a lot more. Replace the bad things in your life with good things that bring you closer to God and make you a better person. Especially in relationships with people. Lastly and most importantly, talk to God about it and read your bible as much as you can! God will see whats in your heart and that you want to change and help you throughout this. It’ll be hard, but remember its a process. It doesnt happen in one sitting. It’ll take time! I’m still working on this myself. :) I wish you the best and i’ll be praying for you!
We always find ourselves reading and talking about the lowest and darkest points of the Lords life but we are so unwilling to talk about our own because of the shame and fear we feel. You are such a golden example of someone whose life has been amplified in the light of God, I pray to have as much courage as you! x
I thank you so much for sharing your testimony!! Your testimony proves that God is able to change lives in ways that we could never imagine. Your testimony proves his truth that great is his faithfulness, he is a loving father, who is near the brokenhearted, no matter how bad we fall into sin. God is truly being glorified through your story. You've given me a even greater perspective of Gods love. May God bless you and your family!
i’m glad you shared your testimony ! i’m also very sorry you went through that at such a young age, but instead try to think of it as a hard push to get to where you are standing with God now! you give me such an inspiration and i really liked listening to this and glad you shared this with us all! may God continue to bless you love!❤️
Hallelujah for the love of God! Thank you for sharing your testimony. I am also going through telling my raw testimony with the first real Christian friends I've ever had. It is hard and makes you feel vulnerable. But I have been told that my story is encouraging and shows the true power of Jesus. I pray you have felt relief because of sharing!
Praise God for your new life, sister! I always watch your videos and witness your journey with Him. Also, I noticed that Jesus (the necklace, haha) was shining throughout the video. He indeed is the light of the world! God bless you, dearest sister. Keep the faith :)🤍 P.S. Can y'all please pray for me, whatever the Lord reveals to you. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I’m incredibly thankful that I came across your channel. I really relate to a lot of your story. It is hard to get out of hard situations/thought patterns, but you show a lot of strength and I can see the light on your face. Praise God 💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony 💖 the part about tongues was amazing!! The part about how the beauties were godly people and treated you like a person really gave me insight on how I can represent Jesus. I definitely relate to the wattpad and webtoon thing.. I didn't think it would impact me so badly. It was interesting how you talked about no TV and music and stuff because of the influence worldly things can have on us Christians. Maybe you could make a video about the influence the world has on us, especially through media (music, TV etc).
This was an amazing testimony! It helped me significantly and I’m really happy out of all the struggles you overcome through Christ. Praise the Lord!!!
That was absolutely amazing! I loved hearing about the grace of God and miracles that happened in your life as he draws you closer. Very cool to see how you slowly grew into becoming a Christian.
Okay so when you said you felt flat about that old life and self it’s true, once we have been called by Christ it feels so different (AMAZING) and full, the old life the old self is just naah, and I thank God for you and your growth and thank you for sharing
You saying that seeing your roommates independently choose to seek the Lord everyday inspiring you is such a word of encouragement for me!! I'm currently the freshman in college now that's saved with the roomie that isn't saved yet and my only encouragement some days is that she needs to see what it's like to follow God. It's nothing weird/stuck up about it. It's literally normal and Christ is woven into your life. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful testimony!!!
@@Yodeline mini testimony update!!! Me and my roomie literally just had a conversation LAST NIGHT about her wanting to start intentionally choosing to seek God. She is getting a Bible today and I’m going to help her kickstart her new journey!!🥳🥳🥳 Praise the Lordddd🥳🥳🥳🔥🔥
@@Yodeline yesss! Literally a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t even realize that when I was praying for her that she would begin to receive conviction to no longer want to walk the same, but intentionally seek God and hearing that last night has filled me with so much hope!! She was literally even saying that just by seeing me live/walk with Christ had helped her change for the better with the leading of Christ. Hallelujahhhh 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Oh hunny, you are a blessing! I have a daughter who I raised as a Christian but she has rejected the Lord Jesus. It hurts me dreadfully. It is so wonderful to see another young girl who has chosen to give her life to God. I am so very proud of you even though I do not know you. 🇬🇧♥️🕊️👑✝️👑🕊️♥️🇬🇧
Wait are aesthetics .. they can become an icon , and a soft obsession therefore= an idol. Makes sense. But if you like an aesthic or want to look like an artsy girl or soft girl etc ? How would you encapsul this ??
Hi Yodeline :) I have a question for you personally; what should I do with my hair? My hair is chemically straightened and has been since I was little. I like wearing wigs and box braids, but if God isn’t okay with them I don’t want to. I just don’t know what else to do with my hair, especially if I shouldn’t keep it straightened. Do you have any advice?
allow the Holy Spirit to convict you we all have different convictions that the Holy Spirit allows us to feel when the time is right as hes sanctifying us purifying us. God bless you!
I know you said you have a question for her, hehe sorry girl, if you'd like to take my advice here it is. Just like the other comments said if God had convicted u ok that or u just want to make the change, there are many videos on transitioning back to your natural hair. You can get locks like I have, (all natural), start from scratch and there's a lot of videos on that here on yt too
@@I.am.His.007 thank u :) i just get really confused and stressed out. My main struggle is bad anxiety and ocd..so I have a hard time discerning what is conviction vs overthinking. I’m trying to let my indecisions go so that God can handle them and that I’ll be able to hear His voice more clearly, but then I worry that my attempt to be at peace with it is in vain or sinful because “what if this peace is fake peace and ur actually just ignoring God and being disobedient?” Sorry for the rant lol i guess I just need to be okay with not having all the answers sometimes n accept that God understands that I’m trying to figure it all out.
@@hazysyd hey Syd, ur last sentence is bingo. If u have anyone to talk to that can be like a mentor to you, talk to them about what you're feeling. They may be more qualified to give advice. If you have no one or u just don't trust them or know they won't understand, talk to God. BEFORE you talk to that mentor, talk to God. I overthink too much too. It's stopped me from a lot of things and held me back in my walk. It causes a lot of anxiety and i just shy away from the subject as a whole bc it's physically too much for me + physically affects me. But thank God for His mercy, He sees us and sends people to help. Send videos for confirmation. Keep your heart open to anything Godly because God can use those to speak to you. Tell God what is making you anxious and put it in His hands. Speak that scripture be anxious for nothing on your life. It's cliche but with faith, it can get you through those moments. Honestly, you may have to try it out and see how you feel. You have the spirit of God in you so long as you're born again, so, if you feel a certain way for wearing a wig or box braids (u can do it ur self in case u feel a conviction and then have to take it off so u won't waste money) then that may just be it. I felt something weird about my way of dressing. I over think but it didn't feel like it came from nowhere and it was a lot of people's other opinions and stuff too but i couldn't find the voice of the Holy Spirit because my mind was cluttered. So i dressed one way one day and another the next. It was the way i felt and talked to God those days that gave me my answer. Sometimes it still feels unclear but i just remember that feeling, and try to silence the thoughts. I'll be praying for you. The LORD is ur strength 💪🏿 sis. 💗💕 (Sorry for the rant too 😊)
@@Yodeline me too!!!!! and everything about it is so relatable and true in relation to the Christian walk. it's definitely one I'll watch with my future children time and time again (Lord-willing!)
Wow so inspiring . Wish I could hug you and be followers of Christ together. Maybe we meet in Heaven 🩷 At first I was sad and jealous even.. thinking people don't understand they are so blessed and some have hard lives they pray they try basically all they can but yet they feel.. well just never able to get there , to be holy or saved enough , to be smart enough , to keep a good car job house people etc. It's all a season I have faith and will trust in The Lord. We are called to be lead, lead and guide by and in truth. Your honesty has lifted heart so much and makes me so comforted I love you very much as sister through and in christ the bride of christ THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE LORD AND YOUR OBIDENCE !!! 😄🩷👍
