      Easy to see why you fell in love with her with a simple look at her. But somehow even more obvious why you fell head over heels for her by listening to her talk. She's incredible.You knew what you exactly what you were doing when you encouraged her to do youtube. She is such a light in this world for so many

    “Cast all your anxiety on him (God) because he cares for you”
    1 Peter 5:7
    This seemed pretty relevant to what you were saying about telling God to take your insomnia and anxiety away from you.

    I’m a girl who came from a Muslim household who recently found Christ. Not through anger in my former religion, not through thinking Christianity was the only way to be a good person, solely for the extreme love I felt from Jesus. Love is the reason I live my life. Thank you Kristin.

    @mckenziecrandall5872 Před 6 lety +213

    The way you described God taking the weight off your shoulders that night and telling you "it will be okay" is the same experience I had two years ago. As a brand new single mom, I rocked my baby and prayed every night for 5 months for God to give me the strength to raise this child on my own. And that night, I laid my baby down, closed the door, and felt God literally take all the stress and worry from my body. And a voice in my head said "we're going to be okay." I will never forget that moment and I'm so happy you shared your story:)

    I have recently just left a mental health hospital for severe depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder. And this is going to sound so stupid but honestly Kristin you truly helped me go through it and choose to live. I never believed in love and I never prayed, but hearing your positive outlook on life made me want to change my own. If not for your channel I am not sure if I would still be walking on this planet. God bless you. Love you forever. Thank you.

  • @Milvan1
    @Milvan1 Před 6 lety +96

    I am in absolute awe. In no way, would I consider myself a Christian, but this story really just blew me away. I have always wondered about religion and how people could believe in things they couldn't see or explain and I guess that has always made me think, that they were the ones missing out. This video just taught me a life lesson, because they aren't the ones missing out - I am. Kristin, you have made such a great impact on my life and I have never felt a stronger connection to a stranger, even though we might not share beliefs. To have seen your growth as a person has been such an honor and I cannot thank you enough for being brave enough to put out that first CZcams video back in the days. I feel, that I have a friend in both you and Marcus and I don't know if I am able to go on without having you guys with me. Thank you so much for everything that you do - even without knowing that you're doing it. You bring countless of smiles on people's faces. I hope that God, whoever he is, blesses your life a little extra, because I cannot think of anyone who deserves it more.

      Hey girl I just wanted to tell you that I love you and thank you for sharing your beliefs. If you love the person that Kristin is then you would love God. God is in all of our hearts and he uses us to spread HIS LOVE!! God loves you so much and wants to bring peace to your heart. I know there’s so many questions that you probably have about God but his trust your heart and He will truly set you free. God brings overflowing joy to your life and I want you to know that. I don’t know you personally but God highlighted you when I was reading the comments and I felt that I needed to share this with you. Anyways I love you sister. We’re all here for you if you need anyone to talk to and so is God cause he’s always listening and knows your heart ❤️❤️❤️

    @lydiaensminger8769 Před 6 lety +32

    I really related to your testimony. Over the past couple of years, I've developed fairly bad anxiety, and I've allowed it to take over more of my life than it ever should have. And I have so been struggling to give it all to God. The way that He has worked in your life helped me to see that God is powerful enough to lift these burdens from my shoulders and help me to get out of the anxiety-ruled life that I have been living. God is so good!

  • @SavannahLewie
    @SavannahLewie Před 6 lety +544

  • @mollykate9656
    @mollykate9656 Před 6 lety +32

    Wow. Just wow. GOD IS SO SO SO GOOD. KRISTIN thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm in tears. I can relate to your story so much. When I was in middle school, my grandpa and grandma passed away and my parents got a divorce all within the same year. I started to develop anxiety and other mental struggles right after that. My anxiety also manifests its self with my sleeping. I still struggle with insomnia and have since middle school. And honestly I always think I'm the only one who struggles with it. But I have faith one day I will be healed in Jesus name!
    It wasn't until senior year of high school when I really found out what it meant to have a relationship with God. I had always believed in God but thought He was far away. My sophomore year of college I finally decided to give my life to Jesus and follow HIm. I know what you mean when you first start following Jesus and all you want to do is learn more about Him! It's like you want everyone to know and experience God's love. I KNOW what you said was true when you said you could hear God telling you everything was okay. God speaks to us when we surrender and want to hear from Him. He is so so so good. You're such a light and blessing to this world and CZcams. Love you Kristin!!

      AlmightyAmy Hi! This is just a suggestion as I've been struggling with this too. I've been going through the devotional book called Seamless by Angie Smith. It takes you through the Bible in 6 weeks and helps you understand it and apply it to your everyday life! It's fun and the Bible reading that goes along with it is really helping me grow closer to God! (Plus the book is super cute;)) I Hope this helps:)

    Kristin, you have been such an inspiration to me. I don't even remember how long ago I subscribed, but I know I never once regretted it. Just from your videos you have taught me love, compassion, selflessness, and what it means to be a Christian. Out of every female CZcamsr I've watched from the time I was like 12 to now (19) you are by far my favorite and honestly like a roll model to me. I aspire to be like you and to find happiness in all of the little things in life. You truly are a beautiful spirit. Thank you, Kristin. 💗

      Kristin, I am so thankful that there are still Christian youtubers out there! It is such an inspiration to see young influencers like you taking a stand for Christ. My story is a lot like yours. I used to be very shy and scared of everything. But when I met Jesus, he changed that aspect of my life, and now my fiancé and I have been called to the ministry. My fiancé is planning on finding a youth ministry job soon so that we can minister to young people! It’s amazing what God can do if you just let him take control of your life. Thanks again for sharing and God bless you!

    @Gabriella.delcastilloldies Před 6 lety +50

    Amen!! Wow I had the same encounter with God. I remember after my first breakup I was devastated and prayed every minute of the day but always prayed to bring him back INSTEAD of praying and giving it to back. The minute I went on my knees and prayed “lord take my sadness, I want what you have planned for me.” I heard his voice in a soft, very soothing tone “be patient just wait.” ALL my sadness got lifted, I stopped crying and from then on I was fully able to heal and move forward with my life. God is Good💛

    @foreverreading23 Před 6 lety +23

    I was never raised in a Christian home and the only Christian in my family. I became a Christian myself in grade 8 by going to church. Up until my grade 11 year, I lost my home to a forest fire during may 3rd, 2016. My last year going back to high school was brutal, hated it. I was so stressed from the loss and my most important year of my life for uni, I ended up not getting accepted while all my "friends" in my grad class did. I was so alone that year, I was the only one to lose their home out of many people I knew so I could never talk about it. I got to the point of hating people because I realize how much people are in a bubble and it annoyed me to see them get to move on with their life like nothing happened. Fast forward 19 months of being displaced and my second year not doing Christmas is still sad. I'm upgrading now but I've always tried to stay humble in general but my walk with god has never been easy. I just keep faith and try and move on. This video was so lovely, I like to watch people's testimony. It keeps me moving in life💕

    my story.
    so i was born into a family of different religions. my mums side of the family is not religious but some believe in god and my dads side is Christian. but when i was nine my parents separated and i lost faith and gained depression. i moved house eight times in two years. and then i went to high school and met a girl who i thought was going to be my best friend for forever. but i was wrong. she spread heaps of rumours about me and ripped everyone away from me. so at that time i went through my next ordeal with depression but this time i was officially diagnosed with severe depression and severe anxiety that was to the state of not sleeping for up to three days in a row and not being able to leave the house.
    just to add a cheery on top, my uncle passed away from cancer in the middle of this and to this day it still hurts.
    as i'm writing this i'm crying.
    one night i got down on my knees, put my hands together and just asked why. why this was happening and why i deserved it and in my heart i heard Him say that this is a mountain i would conquer. and that this would grow me as a person and from that day i am now, forever, with god and he is with me.
    this was really hard for me to post and i'm sorry this was soo long. but thank you kristin.

    It's very hard to find youtubers who aren't afraid to share their love for God, Thank you for being so brave and for just being you. You are my favorite CZcamsr and I pray that I can find a friend like you one day. May the Lord bless you💕💕

    I was just scrolling through CZcams and somehow randomly stumbled upon this video. I have been dealing with a great amount of anxiety and personal issues lately and when you told your story of your panic attack I knew God put this video into my life for a reason. I know that I need to cast all of my anxieties and fears onto him and trust him. Thank you for this video. I think it would be amazing for you to make more videos like this. You never know the amount of souls you could touch. Thank you!

    This touched me so much, especially the part about your challenge with university. I'm in university now and I was asking God for so long for friends who are true Christians and to have conversations about God and Christianity with them and I met a good group of people at my Christian Union where I can talk about God and my walk with Him. I am so thankful that He guided me to the university I am at now, one of the top universities in the world, with amazing Christian friends, because throughout the summer, it was so stressful trying to sort out universities but I gave it all to God and He came through and sorted it all out. I love your channel Kristin, I have been here since the beginning and you continue to inspire me. I wish you all the best for the new year, and I love you xxx.

      uniquelady1234 I have to apply for uni in a few months (I'm from Finland) and I have no idea what to do! I've been praying so much but tbh it feels like God is just completely silent.. How did you know which uni God wanted you to apply for?

    • @uniquelady1234
      @uniquelady1234 Před 6 lety

      Silja and I didn't tbh, what I did was go to summer schools that universities held and some of them I liked the feel and the way they taught the course so I applied, I also did research into the universities that did my course and applied to the top ones. The challenge was on results day but God came through and I feel like throughout the last two years before uni, He was preparing me and guiding me for the uni I am at today because I would always visit it in year 12 and I had good vibes from there and not to mention it's number one in the UK for my course so it was just right for me. Keep praying and researching and try and find out what you want to do first then go from there and research universities that are good for your course. Hand the rest to God, He will honestly guide you and help you.

My dad died June 11, 2016 and my grandma died June 13, 2017, almost one year to the day from my dad's passing. It's been hard beyond belief sometimes but I know they're in Heaven and God has carried me through. Thanks for sharing your testimony!

    Lately, my friends haven’t really been encouraging God in me and I feel like this is the video I needed. I needed to see that I’ve wandered away because when you started talking about anxiety, I just felt this small voice saying “come back”. AHHHH I’m emotional right now 😂😂

    I grew up in a non christian home, but my mum was always curious about Christianity. When I was five years old I told my mum that I wanted to go to church because i wanted to talk to God. My mum took me to a service and I remember enjoying it but being five, I told mum it was good but I didn't want to go again because he didn't talk back to me! 😂 💛 So fast forward a few years and I met a girl in my netball team who was a Christian and her mum told my mum that she is a Christian and she prays every night and that was just another seed planted for me! Then a very close friend of ours is a Christian and she said to my mum and I that you guys should give your life to Jesus because he is amazing!! So at 15 years old I gave my life to God and it was the greatest decision of my life. I now go to church and I have such a close relationship with Jesus that is constant and I talk to him everyday. He really fights all of my battles as long as I keep praying for them and keep spending time with him. Thank you Kristin for being such a gorgeous role model for girls like me. 💛

I love your relationship with god, with Marcus, with your family and with your friends (and Camper and honey) because you try to put your soul in everything and i simply love this. You are so strong, Kristin! I love having you(because on youtube i feel like you are my friend, i feel you are close to my heart) and your adiveces are great. THANK YOU for sharing these amazing stories with us, i'm in highschool right now and preparing for med school and it's so hard because all of these are taking my time and i don't have a lot of friends to support me, and it's hard.. but you give me hope and that's everything i need now.
    I D LOVE TO SEE A LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP, acually i love all your clips. Thanks for not letting me down and i hope God will help and bless you all your life. you deserve all the good that exists, you make me cry of joy and for that I thank you again. YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON 💛

God uses amazing places like Zephyr and Pine Cove literally every single day to change lives and it's an amazing ministry to be apart of. Over 6000 people come to camp over the course of 3 months, with hundreds of lives saved each week. God uses people in mighty ways and it's beautiful to see His kingdom being furthered through you. Much Love

    Long distance is hard ;) but it’s worth it when you both try and pursue and love each other :) my hubs and I had long distance for almost two years before we got engaged. Hard but in the end you cherish the person when he’s next to you finally! 🤗

    I don’t follow any religion, but I always love listening to people tell their stories of their faith even if I don’t personally affiliate. This was a beautiful story. I can relate to this in so many ways. I developed horrible anxiety and depression and horrible insecurities in 10th grade from family death an bad relationships. I had my own “awakening” of self after removing toxic people from my life and giving my heart to nature. I just remember being out in the middle of the woods and feeling clean and new. I began photographing nature and writing about it. It took years. But I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. I’ve also written a Poetry book and hope to push into a career as an author with patience and growth. Im glad your god has taken care of you and brought you strength and love. We all deserve to find it.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story ! I’m not the most religious person but you inspire me to want to get closer to God. Your aura and being are just so pure. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was in middle school , my childhood was rough. But it turned into panic disorder when I was sixteen and dealing with this affliction is my biggest battle everyday! It seems like now I’m at a point in my life when God is testing my strength and I know it’s to make me stronger . My aunt has been battling ovarian cancer for the past year , we almost lost her and before that my mom lost her job so I feel like it’s a constant battle with so many obstacles affecting myself and my loved ones. But this video really spoke to me and I found myself crying and feeling such a mix of emotions , I think that’s God speaking to me through you so thank you so much Kristin! Keep being a ray of light and much love and blessings to you on your journey.💛✨

Your love for Jesus shows in everything you do and it’s amazing to watch someone as inspiring as you are. I’ve always believed in God, but I’ve never had a relationship with Jesus. I am still on my journey, but it’s because of you I have started to read my bible and deepen my relationship with Him. Thank you for being such an example and beautiful role model!

    I have a very similar testimony and it's so amazing that God has done so much in your life!
    I was in several unhealthy relationships and it put this dark weight on my heart that seems so unearthly and awful to look back on now. I had panic attacks and I would cry at night in my room, asking God how I could be a better friend and apologizing for being wrong (little did I realize that God was leading me out of those relationships), and I remember wishing I could die (to the point of depression and suicidal thoughts). God got me out of it all and I'm healthier mentally than I've ever been. I can breathe again. Haven't had a panic attack in 10 months.

Everyday I aspire to carry myself with the grace, beauty, and kindness in which you do. I know you're not perfect, no human comes close to Jesus, but you're most certainly living as an example of his love.

I pray every night and I feel his love each day, cleaning me from that weight so quickly since I renewed my relationship with Him. His work is always truly a miracle. So so grateful for people like you that share stories like this, it's amazing to be able to find similar stories to mine..
