I enjoy chatty vlogs like this one. These kinds of videos make it more relatable for me and easier to connect different perspectives to my own personal experience. I appreciate your openness about your faith especially because it is not always an easy topic to discuss. It's nice to know someone else has similar views as myself. Love your videos!
Love to hear it, thank you for the feedback!! Appreciate you 🩷
I spent this entire video saying “wow I can relate” especially when it came to your faith. Thank you for being so transparent ❤
Abby!!!! I’ve been watching your videos for years, and when I say I never have been so happy to hear about your walk in your faith, I mean it! I started jumping up and down. I’ve been praying for you, and I love love love that you have found peace in Jesus. I loved the throw back to hour long chatty vlogs too! Happy marriage month!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🩷🥹
Amen!!! I love writing my prayers down❤️ I struggle with anxiety a lot, so I memorized Philippians 4:4-7 to recite to myself when I feel extra anxious
yes love that!! 🩷
Seriously thank you for talking about your faith. I came back to Christ this year because I also got to a breaking point and needed peace. It's so nice to hear you talk about the same thing. Also weird how alike you and i are lol
As a fellow girly who works at big 4, I relate to your content on a DIFFERENT level. I've followed you throughout college + grad school, but especially now that you've started your career and im in my first year working, I can relate to how HARD it is. Adulting in general is just brutal, but on top of that waking up Mon-Fri knowing you're going to have to spend the majority of your day doing what we do is just difficult. There are days where I just think "what if I didn't.." and unfortunately that's not a thought that we can entertain for more than like 30 seconds LOL. I just wanna say I love your content and relate so much and I also have the same tough relationship with my money and just hearing you talk about it on both your podcast and youtube and being so transparent has really made me feel so validated in my feelings
Ugh so trueeeee. Thank you for the kind words & your input!! I’m glad my content has helped you feel validated & less alone - you are not alone in all those feelings!! Sending you so much love 🥹
I am loving how real and transparent your content has become ❤️
I’ve seen that pumkin anthro glass you have and I didn’t realize they have them for all the seasons! I love the hearts pair you got. I’ll be putting those on my wishlist
Abby I can so relate to your spiritual little soap box you went on and Thank you for sharing!!! I struggle with OCD and anxiety and not being in control and have found myself putting my trust in worldly things and not fully giving control to God! I struggle with that so badly because I struggle with not being in control and able to control circumstances! so i completely understand!!❤❤
A 55 minute vlog?! Yay!
🥰
Hey Abby! Ahhhh wowie!! Sharing things about faith is not easy to do on a public platform, but I am SO genuinely happy that you just did. When you mentioned prayer I started crying (no joke). I have watched your vlogs for years now and have been wanting you to experience the unexplainable peace that only Jesus can truly provide. I experienced crippling anxiety 5 years ago, but Jesus revealed his true character to me, and I realized I am not identified by my achievements or other people’s opinion of me. Jesus softened my heart to understand I am a daughter of a righteous king, and there was literally nothing I could do to loose His love. Dependence on Jesus saved me!
I am sorry for the church hurt you’ve experienced. God never intended church to be that way, but rather be a place where everyone is valued and seen as a part of the body of Christ. I’d encourage you to continue to lean into God. He loves you and wants to bear your burdens!
Again thank you so much for sharing ! Big hugs :)
We’re in very different stages of life but I can totally relate to the struggle with anxiety and overthinking. I truly appreciate your vulnerability and loved your little chat at the end. My struggles have definitely called me closer to my faith as well. ily💓
🩷🩷🩷 ily!!!
When I wanna cry but I have things to do I can’t relate more 🫠 you’re ALMOST THERE I can’t wait for the wedding also literally ily for watching anything throughout the week😭 I can’t tell you how much it means to me
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing a little bit about your faith and relationship with God. I feel so seen. I’ve had so many ups and downs over the years and have recently been working on strengthening my own relationship with Him. It can be hard to relinquish control but He knows my mind and heart and He is capable. I loved what you said about God bringing you true peace and restfulness. Anyway just wanted to say thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great month leading up to your special day 🤍 love love love your vlogs
Yes you are so right!! Thank you for sharing as well - appreciate you and your support 🩷
Hearing about your relationship with God was really affirming. I have strayed a lot because I don’t find a home in church anymore and need to rely on God more as well. You’re not alone in those struggles and this was a good reminder to pray more!
Totally feel you!! I’m glad it was affirming for you, thank you 🩷
The extreme closeups of Ella being hilarious are some of my favorite Easter eggs. Always make me chuckle. And Roll Tide on that SEC championship!
Going to be live commenting LMAO the bubble bath chrome nails are perfecttttt
Omg I loved all the live comments I’m so late to reading them but they’re making me smile now :’) ily and thanks for putting me on the doodle journal sis it’s been my fav thing 🩷🥰
I can so relate to your convo about journaling and putting your prayer on paper. I am so scared to put my thoughts and prayers on paper but thinking someone could potentially read it at some point scares me out of doing it. It could be taken out of context or a moment of frustration can lead to someone’s hurt feelings so I keep to myself. Vicious cycle!
Do it in your phone if that scares you lol
Hi Abby happy Monday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
You are the only youtuber I keep up with these days, love your videos
Awww that means the world! Thanks for being here 🩷
Abby the bottle of Veuve on the counter should go in the fridge! Helps keep carbonation longer!
I can relate to those moments where you feel like crying but also have a list of things that need to be done.
I relate so much to what you said about prayer journaling. I feel so much more present when I write prayers done and this was a great reminder that I should get back into doing it! Please don’t ever feel like you’re not doing enough to be qualified to talk about things like that, that’s not a thing!
Thank you so much for the encouragement 🥹🩷
hahah i love the idea of colouring. I bought a paint by numbers summer '22 to start painting again because i used to like doing these as a kid. Literally, same reason: I want to have more hobbies that calm me. However, I overestimated myself. I ended up leaving the pain by numbers unopened until 2 weeks ago. So, I think starting with a doodling planner is a good idea, because you have this lying around and will hopefully be writing in it, so you can see it every day! And planners are so exciting! I love buying them :)
OMG i have been worried ab getting a coloring book for that same reason with overestimating myself! planners are def the bestttt 🩷
Abby I am always always looking forward to your vlogs so so much and l really obsessed with your vlogs and I wish you have a best week ahead♥️♥️♥️
Fitbit also has very detailed sleep analysis. It gives you a score and shows restlessness as well as HRV. Just throwing this out there in case you prefer to have a watch instead of a ring :)
yay long video!!!
I was so happy when I saw that you uploaded! That planner is so cute too. I really want to start planning digitally and do time blocking in the new year, hopefully it‘ll help with procrastination . Also so excited for your wedding! Are you gonna upload a wedding video or share some pics with us? I feel like it‘s gonna be a dream 🥰
Awe thank you!! Yes I actually just uploaded a wedding video this week - just now getting back to comments from last month 😅🩷
thanks for sharing Abby! religion is a very difficult topic and I can understand you so much in having distance to the institution church but then believing in God personally. It's all very confusing and journaling does help! Even, if it is difficult to get into it :)
Jinya is literally my fave.
Sooo good!
ive been making this taco recipe that I found from you for years I love it
It’s soooo good!!
Abby you should look up the Neocatechumenal Way in Houston & attend a Eucharist.
Good luck on your journey back to the church and to God ❤
You HAVE to get a Bobbie goods coloring book + ohuhu brush markers
I MUST THIS YEAR
ugh i wish i was closer to you i used to event plan for corporate and weddings!!! i am late to the game on knowing you're doing it mostly yourself haha happy to help if you need anything. i miss it tbh! but im in CA
55 minute vlog😍
Praying for you Abby ❣️
Thank you 🩷
Hey Abby! I wanted to comment on the faith aspect of your vlog. For one, thanks for being so open! It can be hard to talk about these things as not everyone agrees or is receptive to it. I grew up Catholic and greatly drifted away in college but have found in my adult life I NEED Christ. Leaning on him in the hardest times has greatly helped my anxiety and worry about the future/unknown. It’s crazy how much easier things are when you put your trust in Him. I encourage you to lean into your faith based on the season of life you’re in. So for example, you’re in your marriage/wife season, so google scriptures related to that! I think it makes it easier to come back to everyday when you align what you’re “studying” with where you’re currently at. Honoring God can be as simple as journaling (what you’re doing), giving thanks, watching CZcams videos on faith- literally anything! I know im hard on myself feeling like im not doing enough, or im not a good Christian for knowing the Bible verbatim but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m proud of you, and happy to be on this journey with you as well, I feel like we are in the same place!
I love these tips - thank you so much!! Appreciate you for sharing all of this - it means the world 🩷 I know I’m so late to responding to this but it doesn’t go unnoticed :) appreciate your support as well 🫶🏼
❤❤❤
Hey Abby
Run to Jesus 🙌 just sit and read Scripture. As silly as it sounds, reading the Bible and taking notes has been life changing. Some of my fav pastors/teachers are Voddie Baucham (in Houston), John MacArthur, Paul Washer, and Chuck Missler.
Thank you for sharing!!! 🩷
