I’m 27 with 3 under 3 and i honestly can’t tell you how much the Lord is speaking through you. Thank you Milena ❤
❤
I have learned that having a space that is "mine" is extremely beneficial on chaotic days. Our children are not allowed in our bedroom unless they ask permission. This leaves our room tidy, toy free and quiet. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed I am able to escape to that place even if it's for a single moment and reset.
I have been very focused on the hard parts of motherhood lately and my motto for this year is “I can either get better or get bitter” when it comes to hardships
Hi sweet Milena! I just wanted you to know I have been binging your videos lately and you are truly someone who does wonderful work for the Lord. Youur videos, especially regarding marriage and children, are really helping me. I'm a almost 43 year old Mama of four and I wish I would have had someone like you in my life when I was younger. I can only pray that my daughters will grow up to be like you and my son will want to marry someone like you 💜 Take care, sweetheart and much love!
Same 😍🥹 I LOVE watching such inspirational video’s of her 🤍
I’m 21, not yet married or with children but she has opened my eyes and ears so much. She is such a great example. ❤
Milena you are ✨GLOWING✨
As a single mom, I really appreciate the encouragement. ❤
I'm only 8 minutes in but I needed to comment! This is spot on with everything I have been going through. I've realized that I have been an unhappy, frustrated mother due to being overstimulated and in a constant battle with a 4 year old that doesn't listen. God has been showing me the areas that need mending and these points are exactly what I've been focusing on. Thank you for this video. Spot on. I'm excited to see change made and to be in a joyful mood again. 💗✨
I love your point about following well seasoned mothers and not always consuming the more “relatable videos” 💕💕👏🙏🥰
Milena, could you please do a video about biblical discipline and how you strive to follow it personally in your home?
God bless 🤍
Samson's sleeping and snoring quietly in the background was so adorable!! 😆🤍
I was looking for this 🤣🥹😍
It's Dalila though 🤭✨
God’s timing is so perfect!! I NEEDED this encouragement!!! Thank you so much for walking in obedience, Milena!!☺️🫶🏻
I was about to say the same! God is so good ❤
God’s perfect timing!! i’m a new mom (2 weeks postpartum) and it’s been a struggle trying to find time with the Lord and i needed this encouragement today ❤
Yes!!
I’ve learned i cannot, not eat lunch or breakfast. I have to eat something, even if i don’t get to breakfast, i need to eat a lunch and vise versa. i noticed when 5pm hit, i just was so irritable.. but also started realizing i was hangry & needed to fuel up!! Lesson learned.
Thank you for this Milena. Nothing has ever made me feel closer to God than bringing my 3 children into this world and trying to raise them in the way that he expects of us. I still have so much space to learn and grow and I thank you for sharing this with us.
Not a mom, but thinking about family planning soon. This helps me a lot with thinking about what life will be like with kids. Thank you for reframing my mindset ❤
I can’t believe the transformation the Lord has worked in you since I started following you postpartum with your second born. Your softness and gentleness and Christ-like joy is unmistakable and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
Thank you for sharing. What you spoke in your video has been a wake-up call for me. I have been viewing motherhood from such a worldly stance. I am pregnant and expecting a daughter in a short while. I have found myself looking to mothers on social media sharing their journeys and more often than not they only share their struggles and the burdens of childbirth and children. Thank you for shedding light on what God’s word says about children and parenthood. I have turned my attention back to the Bible and I pray I would seek wisdom there first before any other resource. Thank you for sharing the truth through your platform ❤
I’m not even a mom yet, and I loved this video and message. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤😊
Thank you for these:) the key words help me. To love and teach. For my kids to play and obey. So so helpful.
And about the hard days… whew that was such a good perspective.. I have a lot of those days with four little kids and it’s so hard for me and I beat myself up a lot. But I know I apologize to them and we make amends and move on. It’s just hard to move on. But this is encouraging to hear this perspective♥️
Omg. Pure excitement to see a new video... please don't stop. Ever. ❤ we just love and appreciate you!
I want to say that I love how you can hear your dog snoring during this video! Haha its a great background noise 😊 A peaceful sound!
Love your videos, I just found you- thank you for your Biblical content!
this is so so beautiful. the part about you repenting and being an incredible beautiful witness to your children made me tear up bc I can relate to a T. thank you Milena so much.
Sis you’re glowing! 🥰 So Beautiful. You’re definitely someone I look up to, 🤍
I love when you do these videos Milena. ❤ I feel they are so encouraging and helpful! I have a 2.5 year old and most of what you mentioned resonated with me. Now that I’m a mother I have found that not over consuming social media has been so helpful. There is definitely so much negativity between mothers online it’s so sad. Living in the PRESENT, TRUSTING God and relying on him on top of doing what I believe is best for my child and family has been the best advice.
You are a blessing!! Your glowing!! God bless you!
so many good words in this video! I dont have children yet, but I do have 2 German shepherds, 8 years & 1.5 years old, & it's so true that you set the tone. Even w dog training, (not that human children are anything like dog children), if you come at your dogs annoyed & short tempered they will not understand why or what you want from them!
I think that even extends to relationships with our friends, family, neighbors. The world around us. Being intentional & self-aware can be so humbling at times! Thank you for sharing
I'm so glad I clicked this video. I'm definitely I'm a season that feels heavy. We just welcomed our third little blessing last November. Since then things have not gone how I had visioned. I have been humbly put in place. I am not in control of my life, but I can work to make our circumstances better and easier to live with. I'm definitely a high strung mom and thank you for using thar term. I needed that.
Milena! I’ve just downloaded The Full Armor of God study and have only made it through you and Nava’s intro and I’m already encouraged, uplifted and on guard!🙌🏾 I am going to do my best and follow your suggestion of reading one chapter a week!😅 I am so thankful for your willingness to obey Holy Spirit’s leading in creating this! It is so needed in my life at this very moment! Thank you so much for your Yes to God and the sacrifice to pour out so much wisdom and truth! Love and prayers for the both of you and your beautiful families!💕💕💕
Oh oh milena I really needed this 💓
Wow I really needed this! I’ve been struggling mentally and reading Gods word everyday has been changing everything for the better❤ I love what you said about trusting God and not trying to do it all yourself, or protect your child from something. And we need to be more proactive about date nights. We don’t ever do those /:
Thank you Milena. Everything that you have said is just so CORRECT ❤
Im so happy when Milena uploads 🥰 Feels like having a chat with a friend & also feeling encouraged at the end of the videos ❤ Thank you for your patient endurance of serving the LORD Milena ❤❤❤❤
Perfect timing for this video!! I shared it with all my friends 😍
I feel “triggered” by my dogs’ barking as well. With babies that cry, toys that make sound, dogs barking, etc. it is very over stimulating. I’m getting so much encouragement from your videos to make changes to make our home peaceful 😊
What a beautiful message❤
I am taking a short break while my children play (so only watched the first half of the video so far), but this is great advice! Thank you :)
I do have a question on honouring our parents - my mother was abusive with a lot of mental health issues, and abandoned us when I was a child. When I became born again in my late teens, I chose to forgive her (which is an ongoing process for me), and after lots of effort was able to find an address for her. We exchanged letters for a while, but I could see that she was still a very damaged person and the letters caused so much pain for me. Eventually, she just stopped writing back to me. While a part of me felt that rejection all over again, a part of me was relieved. I have had no contact with her for about ten years now. I love her, but don't want her in mine or my family's life. I need to protect my children, and don't trust her. But I sometimes wonder, am I dishonouring her in my actions, by not pursuing a relationship with her? Thank you if you are able to read this.
I’m in a very similar circumstance. I have to just keeping praying on it, reading his word. For me it’s not speaking Ill of my mother when she’s not around, however to not have a personal relationship with her as it effects everyone, me and my family. It’s still a process for me so I would advise you to keep praying
Supporting each other as Moms in a spiritual way is so important.
Paul refers to the torn in his flesh. Though he did not use the word trigger, it does indicate that he had a stumbling block or issue that caused him to sin. Triggers are those stumbling blocks that cause you to sin. Example: I am grumpy when tired, and therefore, my trigger is not having adequate rest and then sinning when I am overly grumpy with my kids.
Loved to hear what others think. Kind regards
Milena, thank you for this. You have such a beautiful way of explaining how we are to live to be obedient to God. I learned also that it is very important to put God first, then my husband and then the children. You are correct, things will not flow and go correctly if not in that order.
The dog snoring 😂😂
I can't wait for your wisdom on this!!!! I have to wait until tomorrow
These videos always come at the perfect time, thank you, Holy Spirit 🙌🏻 thank you, Milena! You are a such a blessing 🫶🏼 praying for you and your family❤
Love this! Thank you for the works of wisdom it’s truly from the Lord✨
I'm not a mother yet, but I aspire to have a beautiful family like yours someday! I love listening and learning more about God through your life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Milena! I'm always excited whenever you upload. May God continue to bless you and your family! Sending you lots of love from Brazil xx
Thank you Lord for speaking to me through this video, also thank you Milena, following you here on yt has been such a blessing to me!
So beautiful and encouraging 💞
Wonderful encouragement ❤thank you fellow sister and mama
Thank you for posting this! I am pregnant with my third baby and sometimes feel like I fall short with the other two definitely was trying in my own strength. So this was encouraging to remember to rely on the lord ❤
this video came just in time 🙏🏼❤️
You are such a blessing for mama's like myself, Milena. ❤
Timing is always right with your videos ❤
You nailed this more than I ever could have imagined!
Milena ❤ thank you for this video it is definitely one of my favorites of yours. I’ve watched you grow beautifully over the years and I look up to you in many ways ❤. PS my dog is one of my triggers as well during nap time!
loved this video, as always. thank you for sharing this piece of wisdom with us. God bless you sister 💓
I love this Milena ❤thank you and thank God for you 🙏🏼
I think of triggers as challenges. Something is challenging me and it’s something that I can practice and get better at and eventually overcome.
You always have such beautiful words Milena🫶
I needed this❤
This is the video that I needed today aftera long day of studying and resuming back tomorrow ❤
I absolutely loved this video. I have 2 kiddos under 2. Definitely felt the Lord's presence during this video. Thank you 💗
You have the best content for families and mothers. I truly feel like the Holy Spirit is working within you. Bless you and your family. Thank you for this ❤
loved this! thank you 😊
One of the best videos you ever created, PERIOD.
This is so encouraging 🤍
Awesome! Good timing :) thank you :)
I will just say....
What a great topic, great content and great words. Love it, yes I find myself in many mention stuff. Such a greatful video.❤️
You’re videos are such blessings for my motherhood journey 🫶🏼 thank you for this
Oh my… God this was you. You brought this video to me when I needed it so much. Thank you Lord Jesus🥺Milena you are such an amazing servant and disciple❤️
I needed to hear this
Thank you so much
I’m a new mom with a two month old little girl. This video is really helpful because my husband and I have noticed that we have to try a lot harder to prioritize our marriage during this busy time. Keeping God in our marriage and new role as parents is not easy but so important!
Just wanted to leave a comment saying that I tried to watch all videos on your channel and went way back and for some reason those old ones just didn't resonate with me. I don't know what exactly was the reason but something just wasn't there. Meanwhile right now I can't skip a video of yours no matter the topic (I'm not even a mam now but still watched this one with full attention). Just wanted to say that your channel changed so much from early days and that change is beautiful and astonishing. And same happened to your appearance, woman, that stile of yours right now is top class and I'm so here for it!❤
Holy Spirit filled as usual, great video 💖
What a blessing this was to me
Great timing Milena! I just found out I’m pregnant with number 2 and my baby girl is only 10 months and I think I had the baby blues. I really need this ❤
We call ours movie night and have popcorn or chips and dip or dessert but if we have a baby sitter we will go for dinner and talk about all the things
I would love a video on honoring parents!
Perfect timing! I just love your videos Milena!! I am watching this while breastfeeding my 1st! He was born last week🥰
I LOVED the snoring dog on the background! 🥰😇
Hi Milena. Thank you so much for your content. I wondered if you could speak to fear surrounding current events. I am reading the word more & praying lots but i still feel fear and i would love to experience the peace that passes all understanding but i find it hard. thank you x
Also very random but advice around bedtime boundaries as it is such a stressful process for us and takes so long so date nights are hard as much as i would love to implement them
THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! So excited, and so proud that you use your gifts for the Lord❤ keep it up, sister!!
though i am close to milena in age, she is definitely like a spiritual auntie of some sorts, or a big sister that i can look to for guidance and inspiration as a young Christian girl/woman growing in the Lord. 💕 & sadly, she has people trying to go against her, and trying to pick her apart daily, but i know the Lord is doing a great work through her and i am thankful to know of her and have Christian influencers like this to look to for guidance.
oof. conviction about honoring parents... yike
I don’t know, Delilah’s snoring speaks a peaceful home to me 😂
Milena, could you do a video on how you navigate through social media fasts? I struggle in this area and have been battling with comparison and feeling easily influenced. God bless ♥️
I love your videos 😊❤
Do you have a discipline video? I'm struggling with getting my 23 month old to obey. He does the opposite. I spanked my older child and I'm not wanting to use that.
I love your videos, they're full of Gods wisdom and brought me so much closer to what me being a wife should look like. Such a blessing! Thank you!
Could you do a video about how to raise your children to "play and obey"? I have the feeling, with all the positive choice I let my children have (gentle parenting e.g.) I still want my children to respect me and I want to have the final word...but sometimes I don't know how (mine are 4,5y and 2y)
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your insight!! I would love if you could reference the Scriptures you refer to, and if possible the study you referenced about how the parents relationship effects the kids. Thanks :)
Yes! Who is influencing you! I was literally talking to my husband the other day about how I’ve changed a lot of the media I consume to be more Christian focused. A part of me was concerned that I’d become a “Bible basher” (what a lie!) but why would I want to be influenced by the world more than I am by the family of Christ?? It was so convicting!
I’ve just come across your channel and I’ve been binging!! I’m not sure if you’ve already covered this, but could you talk about how you study the Bible?
I been LOVING this new Milena ♥️ today was definitely a video I needed to hear 🙏🏻 I have a question with no bad intentions but when you use the words Religion or Church how are you referring too? Like the Christian community, or specifically a religion? I’m just thrown off sometimes especially with the word ‘religion’ how now it’s being misused by many people in their speech. I can’t comprehend in what terms are they trying to use it as??
What about when you're a single mother? Or a mother who does a lot of solo parenting? It is tough, especially when they have little to no support.
A family without order... My analogy would be like a boat wirhout a rudder... Or a sail boat with a bunch of holes in the sails.
what a beautiful video! thank you for posting this 🤍
In terms of honoring your parents, my dad has passed however my mom left when I was young. I’ve only met her twice in my life and then we ended on not so great terms. I have forgiven her for not being present. How can I honor her? Pray for her I’m assuming? I never really think about it since she has been absent much of my life.
It’s calming.
Thanks
I am currently expecting baby number 4 too btw very at the beginning but i am constantly thinking that it will be hard and sort feeling scared. Do u think you can make a video of thoughts about having 3+ kids just curious of your mindset about it
Really needed to hear all of this today. Is there an option for Christian therapists on better help?
Mom of 20 years here and I can see the truth in so much of this. I needed a reminder of the order of my identity: child of God first, then wife, then mother. Can you share scripture references for this idea though?
God is doing an amazing work in you
Loved this on motherhood! But in regards to honoring the mother and father…. What are your thought about that when they mock your Christianity and are toxic/cross your parental boundaries, etc?
Did anyone else see the GREY kitty!! 🤩💕
