Just came to Christ 6 days ago after being a Muslim. Your videos have been so inspiring and full of God that I couldn’t help but watch them despite your content going against my faith at the time. Jesus brought me home and I give you credit for prompting my heart enough to start reading The Bible which eventually led me straight into His arms. Thank you Milena for your inspiration… and Thank you Jesus🙏🏻🤍
Reading your Bible in the public is very interesting. I used to read my Bible in the train on my way to university. Sometimes it needs some Courage, but i have experienced the same as you. One time there was a man sitting across me who shouted and cursed the whole time by using gods name. I couldn’t bear it any longer and just pulled my Bible out and startet reading. Suddenly he stopped shouting and got completely quiet for the rest of the ride. Gods presence is so powerful!
Yes, finding a Bible reading church makes SUCH a difference! I'm so glad I found my church when I did bc we go through all the books so deeply and it's really taught me how to read the Word.
MILENA. You poured out some wisdom in this video! I loved the one about your house being dusty before your Bible BUT OH MY GOODNESS. How can you want to be with Jesus eternally but not spend time with him everyday & not have time for him… that HIT
Every. Single. Video. You post is God speaking directly through you to me. It’s something I have had in my mind for a week two weeks and then BOOM Milena posts a video of EXACTLY what I have been thinking about praying about. It’s. Insane. It all started when you started speaking about your village and how you spent so much time praying for yours and finally you got yours. I’m still praying for mine ❤ but this one too MY BIBLE GOT DUSTTTTTTTT I cleaned my whole house before I even picked it up. JUST WILDDDDD to think about. I’m 100% reading it now and not putting it down. I never thought about a lil pocket bible! Thank you! ❤
Absolutely love how you’ve disciplined your children to leave you be when you’re in the Word! That’s so impactful and definitely how we mamas should be going about it.
I'm not sure if Jordan's home or her Mom is there. Most people don't have a lot of help. I didn't. If you don't, I'm a big believer, in their first 6 years, of bringing them into your devotional life. Go in the living room, put on music, let them play, crawl on you, do cars and blocks or color....then do yoyr devotions in their presence. They need the washing of the Word whether they are fully listening or not. You can do the full at the table marker thing when they are napping or put to bed. Then 6 to 12 teach them to sit and do devotions with you (start your homeschool day that way). 12 to 18 teach them to begin their own devotional life. Show them. Do it with them. Let them do it on their own. It's the process of teaching and learning.
I had my Bible open at 1 Peter on my lap- starting reading that today... and the moment you said 1Peter my jaw dropped 😂❤ love it when things like that happen!
Paused just to tell you- a few years ago when I came to the truth of the Bible ( the whole truth and not the sugarcoated version preached today) I unfollowed you because I didn’t see the fruit of the Word in your life. Somehow a year ago one of your videos popped up on my UA-cam and the title caught my attention. As I watched I was blown away by your growth from the channel that you used to have. Fast forward to now- the messages you share and the way you carry yourself is such an inspiration to me and often times I am convicted by your messages. There is nothing God can’t do. I am so blown away by the transformation God has made in your heart. You are so blessed.
"Do not let your kids be the excuse, let them be the reason." This video was such a blessing, thank you Milena. Your videos are what brought me to Christ. I am new as a Christian and have been struggling to know how and where to start readinf
Thank you for the inspiration and the reminder that we should be desiring to spend time with the Lord in His Word because, yes, we will be spending eternity with Him. I have been having a hard time getting up before my children to have "quiet time" in the morning, but like you said, it is so important for them to see their mamas in Scripture daily, pursuing Christ, as an example for them!
Oh Milena, I needed this! Thank you, thank you for allowing the Lord to work within you & being such a godly woman for us mamas. It's been such a blessing for me
This video is straight fire 🔥 and truth!!!!! I can feel how tired you are in this video fellow mama. But thank you for being an example to me. Sometimes when I’m the most tired I get the best time with the Lord and it REVIVES me which I need to remember. ❤️✝️
Girl, love your heart here. But I'm about to fall asleep. It's more my problem than yours. 11 weeks pregnant with my 4th. And the calm of your voice is way too soothing right now ❤
My pocket Bible is my favorite. I keep it in my diaper bag. It is the one that I mark up. I also have a larger one, She Reads Truth, that stays home, but I'm afraid to write in it!
This verse was in the youversion reading today: 2 Corinthians 5:10 AMP [10] "For we [believers will be called to account and] must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be repaid for what has been done in the body, whether good or bad [that is, each will be held responsible for his actions, purposes, goals, motives-the use or misuse of his time, opportunities and abilities]." This is basically all about stewardship of gifts.
I love your videos so much!! I have started taking my bible with me to work, and reading when I get a chance, so glad you encouraged this, as someone who was raised in a christian family, I have never seen that done. And I also do have a bible app but I agree, there is something about the physical copy of God's word. I don't enjoy reading off my phone, sometimes I listen to it.this
Yes! Great encouragement! I have been trying to make it a habit to wake up earlier than my kiddos so I can spend some quiet time with God for a while now, and I love it! I personally prefer taking notes or "highlighting" with colored mechanical pencils anymore because I was in a season where I was highlighting with BRIGHT yellow, and now I just prefer underlining or whatever so I have the freedom to erase or change my notes for whatever reason
So true and I said this very thing to a co worker over 8 years ago now but he asked me to stop talking about Jesus so much. I was hurt since he said he to was a Christ follower but I said Philip how do you expect to go to heaven and worship be all about Jesus but can’t or don’t want to be with him or talk about him down here in life!? ❤ amen! Thank you for this!
Milena! I’m loving the videos. I’m wondering if you’ll do a video on some activities/toys you’ve been using with your oldest. I have a daughter around the same age and I feel like there aren’t as many sources for that age group lol. I’m running out of ideas 😂
When I was younger I used to not believe in god and I would tell people this but now I know he is our almighty father but I regret denying him so much and I’m scared he’s going to turn me away
I love your content! I always get inspired and motivated by you! God bless your family. I always wondered if you read any Christian books, if so what do you recommend?
I LOVE this content. Very inspirational for sure and such a breath of fresh air. Side note- can you / Jordan recommend a good area to live in Michigan? We want to move from California and have children and want property and to homestead but have no clue where to look in Michigan 😅😅
MILENA i NEED your advice!!! My marriage is crumbling My husband and I are struggling and our marriage is falling apart. I trust your wisdom.. My husband and i are having confict over the topic of beauty. His point of view is that physically i am not rhe most beautiful woman to him and that as i age i will physically become less beautiful bc beauty is fleeting. Yet this honestly SHAKES up my confidence and I need help.
Don't argue with him. Don't even entertain it. Literally the ONLY thing you can do is pray. Pray pray pray!!! Pray for your husband fervently. Pray for him to be convicted in his views on beauty, for him to see you and the most beautiful girl in the world and for him to not find other girls sexually attractive. Cover your husband in prayer girl. Pray for his heart to soften on the subject and for him to understand you. Pray for him like you're praying for yourself. Prayer is the only way to get through this. Read the word of God and pray. Stories Omartian has a great books called The Power Of. Praying Wife. I highly urge you to read it ❤❤❤❤ good luck!
I’m sorry that you’re going through such a difficult time. That is extremely hurtful and unfair that he would say that after marriage because he chose you. Never the less. God is faithful. He’s always there. Cry out to him and also check out this book that really helped me through a difficult season in marriage. A wise woman by Erin Thiele
You should be the most beautiful to him because you’re his wife. Physical beauty is fleeting yea, but your worth and beauty comes from the Lord, he should value that above all else. Know that you are beautiful and daughter of the most high. I’ll pray for your husband. Apologies I know you didn’t ask for my advice, but reading your comment made me sad. No Godly husband should ever say such a thing.
It’s been hard for me. I’m so busy with motherhood and I keep reminding myself it’s not our works that get us to heaven but then how do I stop feeling guilty or is that true is it our works that get us to heaven
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works so that no one may boast. Isaiah 26:12 Lord, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done for us all our works. I hope these help you❤️
1. If you're finding it hard to find the time, pray for God to help you find the time. He WILL provide. 2. It is definitely 100% not our works that get us saved. Only grace through faith in Jesus Christ will save us. Now, people will know we are his through our works (our fruits) but they are not required to do works. Just love God and love others. 3. Pray for God to show you the truth and guide you 🙏 ❤
I've come to see it like this: we're freely given a gift. What do we do with that gift? Toss it over our shoulder and disregard it? Build on the foundation in scripture or neglect it? Share it or hoard it? We don't earn our salvation, but it is ours to lose by being lazy, selfish, ungrateful, worldly, apathetic, continuing in sin and presuming on God's grace. If we love Him, we will keep His commandments, grow, change, repent often, be generous in both spiritual and material ways, etc. We aren't saved by our good deeds, but because we are saved we will bear good fruit and do good deeds. It's the evidence of salvation.
Biggest responsibilty....be in the Word and in prayer both in dedicated times and throughout the day. Bring your children into your devotional life. For the first 6 years....they watch you and crawl all over you and color and build with blocks and just witness your prayer and worship and Bible time. 6 to 12 they can be expected to do it along with you. 12 to 18 encourage their own independent spiritual practices. Nothing is more important.
I just want to remind everyone that the Bible is not the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
“Let your house get dusty before you let your bible get dusty”👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“Do not let them[your kids] be the excuse[for reading your Bible], let them be the reason.”🙌🏾❤

@@taebrown384 Thank you! 🫂🤍
Praise the Lord! I’m so encouraged to hear that. Prayers for you!
You have been completely transformed since I first started watching you. Thankful for your walk with the Lord.
I love the change god has made in you I watched you since you were pregnant with your first🤎
Same the Lord has definitely done work on her heart.
Same and brought us along with her. I cried to God saying thank you for her change bc it helped me so much 🥲🙏🏼 Praise Jesus
“Do not let your kids be the excuse but let them be the reason”. That is so good!,
"let your house get dusty before you let your Bible get dusty" ooof! That was good. Beautiful video, Milena. God bless ❤️
It's so beautiful to see Jesus radiate through you 🕊💛
I love your sit-down videos like this- feels like I'm talking with a friend! ❤️

Same thing happened to me, I thought I was the only one
You have helped me go to my Bible first when everything around me is in chaos and I thank you for blessing is with that reminder.
Those first few seconds already got me, whew! 😅 I needed to hear that.

So great to meet you in person today at BSF😍 thank you for this video, so encouraging to read our Bible in front of our children to lead by example.

The most stunning setup!❤❤❤
If this is dusty, then your life is dusty, that's a really good way to put it.
Love this video ❤ this is so true I needed this so much
I needed this today ❤

awesome
Why did you take down all your videos from 1 years ago???
I think a lot if it was because of modesty conviction.
Miss your podcasts

I needed this
The Lord says to abide in him but reading the Bible is important too praise God!
this format really suits me
I LOVE this content. Very inspirational for sure and such a breath of fresh air. Side note- can you / Jordan recommend a good area to live in Michigan? We want to move from California and have children and want property and to homestead but have no clue where to look in Michigan 😅😅

What plan did you use for reading the New Testament in 90days? I didn’t see one on Streetlights.
It’s been hard for me. I’m so busy with motherhood and I keep reminding myself it’s not our works that get us to heaven but then how do I stop feeling guilty or is that true is it our works that get us to heaven
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works so that no one may boast.
Isaiah 26:12 Lord, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done for us all our works.
I hope these help you❤️
Give yourself Grace. Read snippets throughout the day rather than all at once. OR listen to the audio! Bible app has audio… :) I’ve raised 5… :)…
1. If you're finding it hard to find the time, pray for God to help you find the time. He WILL provide.
2. It is definitely 100% not our works that get us saved. Only grace through faith in Jesus Christ will save us. Now, people will know we are his through our works (our fruits) but they are not required to do works. Just love God and love others.

Hi! Can you link the streetlights New Testament in 90 days?
I regret not buying large print and i cant afford to buy another one yet.
Same here🤦🏻♀️
Don’t let that stop you from reading
Just do with what you have!
Me too! But maybe check out your local thrift stores or Salvation Army to see if they have large print bibles 🙏
Psalms and Revelations, not Proverbs?
Yay
First..I think 😂 love you sis! Thank you for the video! Just starting & I already know it’s going to be great! God bless you & keep you ❤
