Welcome back! Just wanted to share a quick story with you- I started watching you before you went to college and even though I am a few years older than you, I always just liked watching your videos because we have similar ideas about life. When you posted the video that highlighted some of the illustrated faith things that you had gotten a few years ago, I started looking into bible journaling and then found the accompanying online community. This was a HUGE part in what led me back to faith and now have been able to also get my family to go to church for the first time ever. So just wanted to say thank you for coming back and thank you for being here in the first place!
WOW! I have tears in my eyes. What a special story!!! Thank you so much for following along for all these years :) So so happy to hear that about you and your family. God is good!!!!
So happy to have you back on RU-vid! I've been watching your videos from the beginning and can I just say how proud I am of you?! You have grown up so much and are so down to Earth! Thank you for posting this video, I'm so excited to see what's to come!
I am so glad you are back! Congrats on graduating! I love that you have made videos authentic to you. I would like to see a day in the life in Nashville, Goodwill thrift with me and haul, and how you have grown closer to God/tips for building your relationship with God. I completely understand being overwhelmed by social media and wanting to watch people that talk about deeper meaningful topics. I think you would love Jaclyn Brooke and her new channel I think it is called Flourish about her faith in Christ and other topics related to Christianity. Jaclyn's sister-in-law has a great channel Hannah Denton about faith, fashion, and vlogs.
Meredith! I’m so glad to see you back 🤗 I resonate with the part about being a people pleaser-it’s a struggle girl🙈. And this video was SO GOOD!! It’s easy to get caught up in the world of social media & constantly consuming content that can leave you feeling “blah” but it’s important for us to be mindful and take a break when needed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts girlie🌟
awww Jasmine!! You are too sweet. Thank you for the encouragement! I have absolutely LOVED watching you thrive and spread your light through social media. Your confidence and vulnerability are so inspiring!!! ❤️
Aww. I always felt like I had a very similar worldview and perspective as yours even if you hadn't said it explicitly before. It's always nice running across a humble, vulnerable, self-reflective individual on RU-vid. Thankful to have you back!! I struggle a lot with social media just as a regular user too and I know the value of taking several steps back from that. Glory to God for the work He has done in you in this extended Sabbath PS - I've followed Michelle Reed for yeeears and you remind me a lot of her! She's the sweetest soul
I have really enjoyed your videos. I particularly enjoyed this one! You show such humility when sharing about your life. Excited to see how God will continue to use you.
Wow- so glad to hear that! It's a great place that has definitely helped shape me into the person I am today. Thinking about posting another video about my overall experience there!
What a brave thing it is to share your story. I admire your honesty and willingness to share your thoughts. You keep doing what you love and the right people and opportunities will come your way. Glad you are back!
She's back! I'm so glad you're well and most importantly still with the Lord which is how I stumbled across your channel in the 1st place, journalling. There's only 2 people whose channels I watch yours and Nicola Benedetti the famous violinist. Great to see you Meredith!
OMG MERE YOUR BACK I MISSED YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS I WOULD WATCH A 30 MIN VIDEO I NEED YOUR SOUTHERN CHARM BACK IN MY LIFE CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING 💜💜💜💜🥳 SELF AWARENESS IS A BIG THING IN LIFE AND SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES A JOURNEY LESS TRAVELED BY OTHERS
I missed you so much! I’m so excited that you’re coming back and I’m so happy you’re getting a break for a while. I agree that social media can definitely take over your life!
I would love to see you do some devotional videos, I may be 57 years young, but I love Bible studies, I think you would make a difference to young woman, or in my case older woman, your love for the Lord really shines. I am so glad your back.
MEREDITH!!!! I'm SO happy you are back and I totally get you with the whole social media thing. I've had to delete instagram a few times in the past year because it was too much (it just sucks ALL of your time away). I can't wait to see where God takes you in the future!
I've literally been checking your YT channel off and on the past year hoping that I would see a new video from you, the last time being this morning. I've missed you! Welcome back, lovely(:
I've been a subscriber of yours for a while now because I knew you were a Christian. I've tried watching some of your videos hoping you would create more Christian content. I'm so happy the Lord has spoken to you. From this video alone I could see that you are not the same person you were even a year ago. You sound like a daughter of Christ. We appreciate you and your channel!
That's so funny, I was just thinking about you the other day!! I'm so glad you're back :) I love how you so openly share your faith - it's so encouraging and inspiring. So excited to see whatever you put out next!
So good to see your face again!! Congrats on graduating! New seasons and growth are scary and uncomfortable but we’re not meant to stay in our comfort zone. When you talk about faith, it is so obvious that it’s real and authentic and that you find true joy and peace from it. Thank you for being you and for being real!
I've never clicked so fast on a video. I've been waiting (as many others have I'm sure) sooo long for you to come back. So happy to see your face and hear your voice again.
Congratulations on your graduation! Post whatever you want! It’s great that you’ve grown and learned from your YT experience. Emily’s channel is awesome!
Glad you're back! If you let the Lord lead you I'm sure you'll find your way, on this channel and in the rest of your life :) I look forward to seeing more videos from you
Love love love this!!! & I 100% get everything you said about social media. I feel the same way! & Congrats on graduating!! I’ve watched you from the start & and excited to see your next chapter of God’s plan unfold!! ❤️❤️❤️
You're the best, Hannah! It was a joy being there with ya for the year, but yes- so many fun times ahead too :) Can't wait to watch you continue to do amazing things!!
Just a tiny request: college reflections/advice vid! As someone going into college next year, I would be so interested in soaking up all your wisdom. Excited to see how God's plan will work on this channel. Will keep you in my prayers.
Why’d you take down your old vids!? Can you please repost them?? You don’t know how happy they make me to rewatch them! Even your old vlogmas vids I still watch now! :)
@@Meredithgraces I hope you don't think its weird that i still watched your old vlogmas vids. I just found them when I was going through a rough time and they really helped calm me. So when I feel stressed out I go watch those vids and it gives me a sense of peace. You can tell when someone has Jesus in their heart and they wanna share it with the world. I felt that with you even before I knew you were a follower of Jesus :)
I'm so happy that you're back! However, I'm glad you took time to focus on yourself. You are so wise Meredith! Can't wait to see where things go from here! :)
Glad to see you are doing well! If you want some inspiration, go to Lincoln City Church’s RU-vid channel and watch Sarah’s talk called “Be Brave”. I think you will love it. Also, their family channel is Our Tribe of Many.
Maybe send them to my email if you don’t wanna repost them? You might think this is so weird, but those vids gave me a sense of comfort when I watch them. You just have this sweet God loving spirit about you merideth. You are so inspiring!
I’m so happy to see you back! I found your video looking for bible journal! You actually got me very interested and I bought the ESV version you mentioned.🤗
Happy to see you again!! Praying for you & your future. Looking forward to seeing you post on here, no matter what it is, I’m always a fan of yours!! Welcome back! 😊
can you please do more devotional type videos? i love the connections you make to life and god. you explain it very well. i would definitely watch them all! love you and so glad you’re back!♥️
I don’t know if you remember me but, I’m the little girl Adelaide you used to babysit and I used to be your neighbor! So excited to watch your new content!!
Glad you are back! I am back at home for the summer and got out of the habit of spending time with god. Just yesterday, I was thinking about how many people I follow on social media have really influenced my faith and how much I have learned from them. I was thinking how I wanted to follow more like these people and then today you posted this. I think this opportunity has come at a great time not only for you but so many others!
I’m excited for you to be back !! I needed to hear “the teacher is always quite during the test”!! I’m currently going through my 1st heart break at 22 and I was just asking God why can’t I hear you.... Who would have thought
Alexis Danielle I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through that :( You deserve to be with someone who makes your heart soar!!! And yes - it may seem like God is silent but that’s because he’s listening!! 💗
Wow!! So excited to see your videos again 😁 I have been watching some of your old dorm tours and college essential videos. ❤ But breaks are always good! :-)
Its so so refreshing hearing you talk about God so normally and comfortably. Trust in God takes you farther than anything else. Nice to see a video from you again :)
Ginnybellebeauty thank you! Sometimes it can definitely be hard to talk about amidst a wide array of opinions and controversies online, but hey- that’s what we’re called to do!
