Christopher can you share how you were able to turn off the negative self talk? I would love to hear more about that. Thank you for sharing all you do. It helps connect us all.
I had to pause the video long enough to say how nice it is to hear you talking about God and giving Him thanks for where you are today. May you, Steven and Mable have many, many years of happy memories in your new home. ❤
You commented recently that you have been busy living life and haven't picked up the camera. Good for you! I'm happy you found some balance in this new era of yours. Selfishly I want to see all behind the scenes of your life because I find you so joyful but the fact that you have found such a peaceful place in your life is lovely to see!
Christopher, This is one of my favorite songs. I’m sure you already know this song, but I wanted to share 🙏❤️. It’s so beautiful. “In His Time” In His time, in His time He makes all things beautiful In His time. Lord, Please show me every day As You’re teaching me Your way That You do just what You say In Your time.
Christopher I adore you. And always have. People like you are the counter to all of the evil. You bring forth so much great wisdom and it’s a joy to see your cup running over. You, Steven and Mable are all so deserving. This video is even more special to me because you talk about putting God first place. And when you do that you’ll always live life in more abundance. Thank you for sharing who you are with those of us who deserve to your gifts and greatness. So many of us celebrate the beautiful human that you are.
You are a breath of fresh air. This video hit me hard. As a recovering “ people pleaser” I realized I speak so negatively about myself to myself. Thank you for sharing the issue of the environment and how it affects you. I’m so excited for you, Stephen & Mabel.
Beautiful words! We recently moved a mere 5 miles, because of a toxic neighbor and neighborhood. It never felt like home, it never felt safe. It’s amazing that the new house (we’ve been there a month) feels like HOME. So happy for you and your beautiful family, and for the faith for the next chapter of wonderful memories!❤
With age comes beautiful wisdom. I loved what you said at the end of your vlog. “Blind faith, it’s scary, but it’s kind of incredible.” Amen to that. Cheers to you Steven and Mable. ☺️ Life is good. ❤️
Yay, you got my boo Halloween card I’m so excited that you showed everybody. I just love making them. It’s my therapy and thanks for the PO Box. You will get more for each holiday.
3.5 years ago I blindly put my house on the market to leave my hometown of 64 years. My daughter had a 10 week preemie and I had been a 40 year early childhood educator so I moved. I had to list my house with no prospects because nobody would take an offer unless you were under contract. I gave it to god. If all else failed I’d put everything in storage and sleep on a cot at my daughter’s house. But then my daughter saw a listing. I contacted my realtor. We saw it the next day. It was the one. I put in an offer. I wrote a letter why I was moving. They cancelled their showings the next day and took my offer. I love my new house. I take care of not 1 but 2 grandbabies. I have great neighbors. It was all in gods plan. I love it here
I absolutely love your message in this video. Such positive energy & healing! I also am in an era of preserving my peace & counting on God to show me the way. Major life changes ahead but are needed. Thank you for sharing your journey to peaceful living and I’m so happy for you, Steven & Mabel on finding your forever home! I think my family & I found ours too! We will be on this journey together, love that!🥰❤️🙏🏻
Usually don’t comment on your blogs, however what an inspirational video. So very happy for you and Steven finding your dream home. Well deserved. You two not only work extremely hard, but truly follow your heart. Truly inspiring. ❤❤❤
I agree completely with things you said today. We moved a year ago from what we thought would be our forever home after my husband retired. We bought 6 acres, totally remodeled the entire house, about an hour from Lake Tahoe California. After living there for 10 years, we both realized living in California was getting harder, fire evacuations many summers was getting very old, so at 70 and 80 moved to Washington State. Our daughter’s family ( 5 grand daughters) lives near by, and love living here. At 70 I no longer felt the need to totally remodel the house, did the things that needed to be done, but it just felt right during the entire process.
Thank you for your message today! We needed to hear this in our home tonight- blind faith- take the leap!!! You are amazing man Christopher- thank you for sharing your home , joy and life lessons. Your message brings so much happiness to so many lives!
So excited for the upcoming Christmas season. It isn’t Vlogmas without the advent calendars. You are the one who introduced me to them and I can’t wait! Loved the ones you picked out, but then I said to myself “where’s Mabel’s? ❤️🦴
You’re an incredible person, always so kind and thoughtful toward others. I’m so glad you’ve found your forever home, and I couldn’t be happier for you! Keep up the amazing work with your vlogs - I absolutely love watching them. Wishing you all the best!
I’ve watched you for years, and I can see the happiness you are rolling in now. Finding your forever home is such a great feeling, I know you and Steven and Mable will be love it.❤ I believe God leads us to where we need to be, we just have to be open.
Best Vlog ever. You are so authentic. You look so much lighter. ❤❤❤ Congratulations to you and the whole family! Can’t wait to see your new home! Also, very much looking forward to seeing the whole process of your home. Mood boards, etc. My problem is I don’t know how to start the process of making changes to our home. Hoping to learn some tips and get some ideas and inspiration!
So excited to see the advent calendars! I’m actually making my own this year. Buying a lot of beauty sets, and advent boxes on Amazon. Then when the products come in the mail, I’m not opening but giving to my kids to wrap up and put in the advent boxes. Hoping it’s as fun as I think it will be!
So happy for you both! 😊. I agree with you re change! Everything happens for a reason and when given the opportunity you need to grab on with both hands! After horrible losses in my life one was my husband of 21 years I randomly met a man who turned out to be the nicest guy! 3 years later here I am remarried living in a beautiful home and not afraid of my future anymore. I was given a gift and I am grateful every day. It was a gigantic change for me to completely shed my old life and I worked on myself at the same time. Now I am on the other side and a new view and I like it from here!!! ❤
I admire how real and honest you are. It’s nice to see how positive you are and how you celebrate every thing and appreciate everything. I received some very hard news today. I’m listening to you and trying to borrow your positive vibes. Thanks for sharing yourself with us all ❤
I’ll tell ya Christopher, you have it all and it is such an inspiration. My whole life is out of control. My weight. My finances. My job (can’t seem to find one!😂). My home. My marriage. My kids. Everything is in the toilet. I see you thriving and I feel like I just need to be more open to things shifting for me. At least in one area. Thanks for sharing so candidly
We've only bought one house and the minute we walked in we looked at each other and said, "This is it". After 30 years every time I drive inro the driveway I think how much I love my home. If you know, you know.
I absolutely love seeing how relaxed, content and at peace you are with where you are right at this very space in time. I look forward to the difference in how your holiday season will play out this year. You & Stephen (& Mable too!) are going to have so much fun during the holidays this year because of choices that you made as a family. The chaos of moving will have its time & space so don’t worry too much about that until then. Make time to stop, look, listen, smell & taste this season to the fullest as it is a gift for you to enjoy! Congratulations! 😊
Hello Christopher, Steven & Mables. Love The Nativity Advent Calendar, You Are So Excited About Your New House. Bubba is always watching down over You, Steven and Mables everyday and Night. Have Fun Taking Mables For A Walk with Steven. Good Luck With Your New House can't wait to See Updated Pictures of Your New Home when You Move In.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I so appreciated your message in this video. Your words of wisdom, encouragement, and truth resonated and were a very needed reminder. May karma and faith continue to bless you, Steven, and Mabel- you’re an amazing human.
Omg you and Michelle from Mishmas are the whole reason I even watch RU-vid. She recently released a mug that I was actually able to buy. To see you getting your advent calendars ready I'm just filled with Joy! I lost my mom two weeks ago life is chaotic and messy but these two moments of consistency just made me feel normal at this moment.
Talking about negative comments....when I first started visiting our local hospital with my therapy dog, Malaika....I was so excited to be able to do that. Always ask if the person is okay with dogs....well, some waved me away and that hurt in the beginning. But for those few people who do not like dogs....there were so many who loved seeing and talking with us and thanked us. That continues to lift me every Friday. It does not bother me now. Hugs to you, Steven and Mable. ❤
Christopher So happy for you both and little ms.Mabel. I wanted to tell you that you feel so much like a good friend. You have a great soul.❤ I have let go I’m my mid 50’s of friends that you thought meant well and not so…. And yes it’s very hard. Asking good friends but sometimes less is better….❤
Thank you for your beautiful message, Christopher. I have been a lifelong Christian. God hears our prayers, He sees each tear that falls. Our God Is Able. You are a beautiful gift to the world. You are spreading joy and hope here, and throughout your community. You touch lives. My prayers for you and your precious family 🙏❤️
Excited for the new house but first Vlogmas! Christopher, as soon as you showed us Sugarfina advent calendar my memory recall was activated and I started singing “pour some sugar on me, in the name of love”, in a fun Christopher voice! ❤
Hi friend! You do made my night❤ I loved hearing so many good and positive things. Thank you for that and thank you for being the person you are. Love you so much, Steven and Mabel, please give big hugs for me. ❤
Blind faith, is there any other? there is so much freedom in blind faith and I hold onto it with everything I have forever. Life is so worth the living, cherish it and know there is only time for those who value what you have to share with positive feedback. Run toward the love that flows between you and them and hold onto the promise of GOD's eternal life.
Probably best to just film stuff and put things up now and again as it's becoming increasingly obvious that perhaps it's becoming a problem for you to keep track of everything and it's just not working
What’s your fav Jo Malone scent? Currently mine is wild bluebell. Now that I think of it, Mrs Meyers bluebell is my fav too 😂 I got my SIL the Sugarfina and my daughter the Anthropologie advent calendar’s. I usually received Nespresso one.
Christopher, you're right, it is hard to make friends as an adult. Would you consider making a video with tips and suggestions about how to do that? Other than reconnecting with friends you knew when you lived there before, how have you been able to meet people outside of the workplace to become friends with? And what do you do to make those friend connections with new people you meet?
Hi Christopher, You have a glow . You do seem the happiest I've ever seen you. So happy for you and Steven . I don't know if you remember me. I sent you the knitted blanket and hat a few years ago. ❤
@@christopherallen Great! 🎃 definitely think Myers Park has begun to trend a little younger since my parents lived there without question it’s the prettiest part of town but at this stage in my life I’m happy in Southend! Congrats again to you both.
Christopher, thank you for your words. I believe God is using you to bless others. That is a very powerful assignment and you are delivering his message to those who need to hear it. The beauty of how you speak with love and consideration for your words is not lost on me. Looking forward to all the ways you will bless us during vlogmas, you beautiful, beautiful human.💞
