Milena I"m not sure if you'll see this but I wanted to say thank you so so much for being so blunt, raw, open and vulnerable on your platforms. I feel like you were fed up and gave it all to God and he FUELED a newfound passion in you and he is working so powerfully in you. I've been witnessing this intense change and growth in you just through what you've been willing to share. I'm amazed and thankful. God is doing this through many families and more specifically wives and mothers. So beautiful to be in sync with you.
Milena, you and Jordan have been such a light in my life for the past two years after bringing my son into the world. I watched you previously to having him but I can really feel God working through your content lately and speaking DIRECTLY to me 😅 You have taught me so much and opened my eyes to so many things that no one talks about. You truly show me that living in a worldly way doesn’t please God at all not does it benefit me and my family. You have to live through Him and walk with Him in order to know that love happiness and joy. Thank you for everything ❤You will never understand the impact you’ve had on my relationship with God and my spouse ❤️
Love your content lately! Another reason to make your spouse a priority: your children are watching and you are showing them how a relationship should be. Be the wife you want your daughter to be, be the husband you want your son to be, show your daughter the type of man she should look for, show your son the type of woman he should look for in a spouse.
Time stamps for topics to unlearn: Kids before marriage - 2:22 Life isn’t fair - 7:45 Children are burdens - 11:43 I am a good person - 15:42 Joy comes from things - 17:06 Love has conditions - 20:02 Ps. Just wanna say I’ve been following you for quite sometime because I love following Christ-centered influencers, and you have been the most Christ like in these last couple of months! When I first followed, not everything you did or say did I agree with. But now more than ever, I see how Jesus has been working on your heart and I love it! Not that you weren’t uplifting at times in the past, and that’s why I followed, tehe. But you can see the maturity that God has given you through obeying Him ❤
MILENA! KEEP 👏🏼 THIS 👏🏼 FUEL 👏🏼 GOING 👏🏼 I'm telling you, the Lord is speaking through you. As a mother to twin girls, I've been so bitter and angry and feeling like they're a burden I fell into a trap, and getting myself out. I could rewatch this video over and over. You are speaking everything on point girl. Xo
I love how you are spreading the Word. I myself don’t feel like I’m for this present world. I see how sinful and demonic things are now and I really appreciate your motivation to live holy and keep God first.
Right! I look around and feel like the whole world has gone insane... How did it get this bad? I mean we know how but it's still mind blowing how far we have fallen as the human race...
Milena, I am an atheist and have been my whole adult like, but watching your videos the way you speak truthfully with such conviction is incredibly eye opening. I don’t think I will ever become a Christian, but thank you for being so welcoming and sharing the thoughts and ideas of the Christian community. No matter your religion, I think there are so many good lessons to be learned.
It is refreshing to read your comment. I used to be an atheist for many years as well. I would say you are very close to meeting HIM. 😉 Your heart is longing and seeking for truth and He is definitely pursuing your heart just by the fact you ended up finding this video. Blessings to you. ♡
I totally understand what you are saying!! I used to think like you when you said that you don't think you'll be a Christian (and the atheist part😓) "We grow as the Holy Spirit makes the truths of the gospel understandable to our minds and beautiful to our hearts, igniting love and devotion to Jesus" Praying you get to know Him❤
The one true religion now is Islam, and it always has been, just named differently in the past. God sent the bible to guide mankind through Jesus (May peace be upon him), however, the bible had been tampered with and there are so many contradictions. God tried again with a new nation, and gave Moses the Torah and again…people added to it for their own benefit. God (Allah) then sent His final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings be upon him) (just as He sent Jesus, May peace be upon him) the bible)) the Quran as a guidance for mankind. And this time God promised that He Himself will preserve it, and not leave it in the hands of people as He did before and thus, if you look at the first copy of the Quran, and the copies all over the world now, they’re all exactly the same, with 0 contradictions, and holes found in the bible and Torah due to peoples tampering with it, is filled all in the Quran. The Quran is purely Allahs (Gods) words and everything in it makes sense and is the truth. It’s the religion of peace and I believe if any devout Christian reads the Quran will see all this for themselves and submit before the Lord. Just as Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of Allah (May peace and blessings be upon them) did. In Arabic the one who “submits” is called a Muslim ❤ there are many Christians who submitted and thus are muslims because of the truth they saw, I pray Allah allows everyone to be guided and gives them the courage to break away from what they’ve been taught in the past and see the truth which is the religion Islam, Ameen
“Stop feeding your flesh!” Get it girl!! The Lord has been revealing so many things to me that I need to unlearn too. Blessed by your boldness and faith!! Praise God for Jesus and how He’s moving on the earth!
Something I unlearned years ago and still thankful today that I unlearned it was to "not give up" when the world would give up. To stay in a marriage when the world have walked away. To forgive when the world would have held the grudge. Marriage only lasts when you have a forgiving heart. Your spouse will always fail you. (Let's face it, they are imperfect just like us). We will always fail our spouse. We will always let each other down. But with each mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow so we don't have to make that mistake again. So staying in a marriage that the world would have divorced has brought me HOLY JOY! PEACE , LOVE, all the fruits of the spirit, and a third baby who would have never been here if we didn't work it out :)
Even when there is cheating ,side babies and abuse??? I really need you to answer me this . Even through extreme abuse or just abuse in general? Even when you are being controlled , He is coming home extremely drunk and abusive??? Brings mistresses in the home ??
Milena I literally cannot begin to tell you how inspiring your latest videos have been. I’ve always watched your videos but holy moly you have changed SOOOOOO much.. the Lord truly transforms us, prunes our lives and graciously gives us wisdom when we truly seek him.. you have wisdom all over you and I can’t tell you enough how cool it is to watch you grow especially recently. Your content is literally golden and there have been many instances that have inspired me beyond belief. The words that you speak are not your own they are from the Lord. I watched your video about vanity yesterday and I literally sent it to so many of my friends because it was just so powerful. God bless you
Wow. I needed this. I have fallen into the mindset that my children can be burdens at times and it’s horrible to think that way. They are truly blessings, thank you for the reminder.
Milena, the change in your channel over the past few years has been so refreshing. I started watching when Alethea was born, and I can visibly see how you have grown in your relationship and devotion to God. It is SOO refreshing to see a woman being bold about the things of God on the internet when social media can be full of false teaching. What you are learning is so valuable to me as I pursue God even as a young single. THANK YOU!!
I have been married for 10 years this June and prioritizing marriage is definitely a BIG thing. My husbands job has us moving a lot so we do not have friends or family around to watch our kids, but we make it work. We take the time after they go to sleep to prioritize reconnecting with eachother. It is important.
Oh my! I woke up this morning and read all about controlling the tongue in James 3 and Matthew 12:33-37! This is such a confirmation!!!! God is PERFECT🥹🫶🏼😍🤎
I don’t go out of my way to comment on videos. but Milena the content you’ve been putting out has been refreshing and so restoring in my life especially as a mom and wife trying to be live a Christian lifestyle in this world today. Thank you 😊 ❤
I’m definitely trying to unlearn worrying & focusing too much on the future. I’m learning how to surrender to the Lord & to place all things in His hands.
I’d really love a whole video on children being blessings. I’ve seen the whole world see them as burdens and as a new mom I’m trying to not even start with a negative attitude. ❤️❤️
This really touched me. We were originally told I was pregnant with a boy, and this was confirmed through both genetic testing and ultrasound. However when I delivered we were surprised to find she was a girl. I remember people asking me if I was disappointed or depressed or even angry about my daughters gender. And then when she was 2 weeks old she started crying and screaming with no reason as to why. I spent my weeks just walking around the house with her and holding her, walking over 10,000 steps a day around my living room. And so, I would hear from others that she’s a difficult baby, and how they didn’t know how I was handling her with so much patience, and bothersome it must be.my favorite was “ I can’t imagine having a baby that fussy” However in my mind all I could think about was how blessed we were that God chose us to be her parents. How much he must loves us to have blessed us with her. But in our world kids are meant to be seen not heard. We are told that children must not be difficult or loud. Or do anything that could inconvenience others. If they aren’t they become bothersome .
Girl I am LIVING out right now the whole “I have to be a good wife even if my husband isn’t being a good husband” thing right now. It all comes back down to the letting go of what my idea of how a marriage is supposed to look, or how a godly husband is supposed to act. We all have an image of what we expect our marriages (or lives in general) to look like whether that was shaped by societal standards, our own personal upbringings, movies/tv shows etc. The moment we go to the alter (which is traditionally a place of sacrifice) we die to all that. Knowing these things and actually living these things are two very different and *difficult* things. It’s such hard work. And no one talks about the grief associated with it. My hubbs and I have been married 5 years and I have had to grieve the man he was when we first married one another (simply because life happens and there are things that being married will pull out of you that you otherwise wouldn’t have had to face in singlehood 🤣). It’s a tough season to be in right now, and with 3 small boys (4,3,1) constantly pulling and tugging at me.
WOW! This encouraged me so much. I'm a worship pastor and my husband is a young adult pastor and I just want to say thank you! Thanks for always speaking truth. I needed to be reminded of this today. Grateful for you!
Just read this after watching this!!♥️ Colossians 1:19 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. We need to walk in HIM, not the world. Such a great reminder, thank you Milena. ♥️
Yes!! Last year the Lord has been ministering to me about unlearning EVERYTHING I’ve ever learned in this world and He has been filling me up with scripture to fill my head!! God is soooo good!! Revival is here!!!🔥🔥🔥
I've been lazy with my faith walk recently but I asked God to help me discern the lies of this world vs his truth. This is a very timely video, thank you ❤️ I would love for you guys to dive deep
Watching this as a single Christian woman that is preparing for her man of God 🙌🏽 love this content and thanks for being so real about the Biblical standards of being a married woman 🤍💍
Ooh, for me, it’s been seeing housework/chores a BLESSING and a privilege rather than a dread. I find it a blessing that I HAVE a husband to clean up dishes after rather than dreading “another chore.” ❤😅🙏
I’m so thankful I found your channel. I have been making these discoverings it seems at the same exact time.. vanity, priorities, etc. I was allowing the gym and fitness to be an idol and I had no idea. I was putting myself before my own husband and didn’t realize it. I had vanity I didn’t previously think existed. I’m so glad you’re posting this stuff and that there seems to be an entire group of us growing in our Faith at the same time! Praise the Lord!!!
YES 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 please do more of these! One thing I am trying to unlearn is people pleasing. (I struggle with this regarding my mom.) and I was literally just reminding myself the other day that we do not live to please other people, we live to please God. We have some major division in our family. My mom absolutely despises my dad (they divorced when I was 8). But I recently realized that I have been canceling out my dad for the last 20 years in fear of upsetting my mom. (She’s not close to my other siblings because they have a close relationship with my dad.) so people pleasing, or I guess “Mother pleasing” is what I am trying to unlearn.
Sister, it is so so so beautiful to see how the Lord is pruning you this year!!!! Hallelujah! Prayed for you sis. May the Lord bless your home and keep you!
You mentioned following women that see their children as blessings, has helped you and I just want you to know that YOU are that woman i followed and felt motivated.
This is so encouraging to see the Lord showing you all these things. There has been a huge shift in me as well and though I wish I learned them when I was younger I’m still thankful at 40 with 4 kids to be embracing them now! I’m so enjoying your channel and seeing what the Lord is doing and thank you for your boldness !❤
Yes please do more videos. I’m currently learning that my children are not a burden. I became pregnant unexpectedly last year and it shifted my heart to be resentful and just full of anger. That I was losing myself, my dreams, my aspirations. The lord had to break that down and tear it apart from me. It’s a struggle. I’m still learning.
Yes GIRL!!!! You literally have said everything I have been thinking! I am so thankful to you for saying this about loving your husband and children. I love seeing this journey with you and I don't feel alone!! Hallelujah! So great to hear woman speaking THE truth and showing your passion to others.
I needed this!!!! Growing up my parents always told us , their marriage came before us kids. My mom drilled it in our heads that my dad came first no matter what. The problem was we were abused, I was abused by him but my mom continued to stay for yearsss!!! So when I got married and had kids the saying “our marriage comes first” always was something I hated hearing because of what I seen in my childhood. How could a mother choose a man who is abusive over their own children? How could a mother not protect her kids because “her husband comes first”?… This is something I struggled with. It wasn’t till this last year I had to really re-learn that meaning and how to live by it truthfully. The way my parents did it was wrong but that doesn’t mean it has to be wrong for me. I have the ability to live life correctly and purely. I have the ability to plant precious seeds for my kids to that when they are grown and married they can see what that saying truly means. They can love their spouse BUT also have an unconditional love for their kids!! Thank you for this video!! I truly take all your wise words🤍
Hi Tanya. The Lord wants you to become one of His followers. His grace and salvation extends to anyone and everyone. He died for YOU. Have a good day! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Girl you are slaying these videos left and right. I've been following you for 6 years now, and I'm just so proud of the woman that God is forming you into. KEEP DOING YOUR THE GOOD WORK! Your pursuit of God has inspired me so much over the years.
Milena, I’ve been struggling this past week which has been affecting my marriage and me mentally. I’ve felt bitterness and jealousy and I feel like the lord called me to watch this video. Thank you for your reminders ♥
*You are Anointed, these past sit downs seem to be directly pointed to me. ESPECIALLY This one and I am not even that religious but feeling like being called again. I connect & relate with so much you say/go through. Thanks for sharing and being Raw with it. Viewer from Spain* ❤
Would just like to remind any mamas on here that you can still view your children as blessings and still not always enjoy motherhood cause it’s HARD AF. Some days you just have to focus on surviving and that’s OK ❤️
I can’t put a finger yet on what I’m unlearning but what I am learning even more as the years have gone by is that when you make your every move in your life centered on Christ, He is being glorified and others are also being blessed. Let us be encouraged to make our purpose to know Him and make Him known by the way that we live. Because when we do this, God will do the rest regardless of what the outcome or circumstances are 🤍 but yes, thank you Milena for being a blessing to all those around you. thank You for the rebuking, realigning you’ve been helping out with through your videos. God bless you 🫶🏼
Love how encouraging your words are and backed by the Word of God. Thanks for talking about the challenges and being so real and honest. It’s getting harder and harder to share the Word of God because of the world we live in and how ppl twists things but I am so thankful you are continuing to speak and spread the light and love of Jesus. As a wife and mom, your videos encourage me greatly. Thank you!!
My husband and I are currently unlearning all of the unbiblical advice around planning our family, birth control, ect. We are really seeking the Lord at this time as there are so many extremes! I would love to see a video from you and Jordan on this!
You have no idea how encouraging this is. I binged the last 3 “spicy” videos and omg I needed it. I could say a lot more, but that’s the gist of it. Just thank you for being obedient to the Lord and sharing what He called you to share. You’re impacting more people than you know 🥺 And yes! Touch more on this with Jordan on marriage, motherhood, etc.
I’ve watched your channel for about 2 years now, ever since I got engaged to my now husband and wanted to grow closer to the Lord. I’ve looked to your videos as an example and to learn how to be a better wife and mother one day. I can happily say that we are now expecting our first baby and I’m rewatching all of your videos and am so excited to be able to apply the things I’ve learned from you to my life. Thank you for being a good example in this confusing world Milena, even as you’re learning and growing, God is teaching many through you 💛
Wow. Thank you Milena! "I am called to be a good wife whether or not my husband is being a good husband" that struck my heart chords so deeply this morning. I have been asking the Lord for guidance for this exact thing, but didn't have the right words for what I was seeking. This is it. Thank you for this reminder. Now I can have a more strategic approach for my prayers regarding this topic!
I really really appreciate your point of view of kids being blessings, not burdens! I don’t have kids yet but I feel like the idea that kids are burdens has been ingrained in me since I was so young and ever since becoming a Christian, I have felt how wrong that is. I can’t imagine the way they will change my life but I pray I never see them in such a negative way like the world does 🙏🏽
Something I’ve noticed… you are doing less on the outside, but because of what Jesus is doing in you on the inside, you are GLOWING. And it’s so beautiful to see! Seriously his beauty is shining through you and is what is making you truly beautiful💖
The being called to be a good wife regardless if your husband is being a good husband really spoke to me. The worst advice I bought into was that if he was being an absent husband then I need to stop doing the wifely things like cooking dinner, doing his laundry, etc. It was a slippery slope from there in terms of how rocky my marriage got since neither of us were tending to it. I would love to hear both you and your husband deeper thoughts on the topics of marriage and children ❤
This is so so so good! Amen sis 👏🏼 Thank you for your boldness and your sincere heart! ❤ Me and my husband have recently been unlearning the lies the church has been teaching about Gods Law and Torah. How it pleases him to follow His commandments and they’re for us not a burden. 😍 We’ve been following His feasts, honoring His sabbath and eating clean foods. This simple life changes have truly altered and grown our faith in Yeshua more than ever! Just wanted to share 🥰 Bless you sis!! 💗
I loved this. I struggle also with that too, " he doesn't do that for me so why should I do it for him". 25 years married and still learning and willing to learn from the Holy Spirit!
Love this! I agree with everything. So much wisdom from you. Me and my husband just had a second child and it’s been challenging, but we try to read Bible together and pray together and have little dates here and there. And yes, the world is teaching the contrary to what God is teaching us. Milena God bless you and your family❤
We all need more friends like you!!! Your messages are life changing. Thanks for posting. We were on the fence so long about Disney and we went ahead and canceled after your video! 💕 loved the message in this video too
So young and so wise you are. You inspire me to follow the Lord with a smile on my face and see hardships in a different light. I can feel God speaking through you 🤍 blessings from Hawaii!
MILENA people look at me that way too, i have 3 kids and i thank the Lord for these gifts. God bless you you're such an inspiration. You need to give us a full house tour id like that.
I am currently unlearning that just because I am going through a difficult season doesn’t mean I can forsake time with the lord. I used to think when I’m down I can shut everything off, and that’s an excuse, God understands etc. etc. What I am walking through and learning currently is that it’s okay to be in a tough season, but walk through that season with him not without. When you start to venture alone, you find yourself seeking comfort in places that will have you messed up and sinning. I am single and 29 years old, I often remind myself you cannot do life without God because your flesh will try to have me in these streets, and I have no business there lol. I need to keep my little happy, saved and single self right next to Jesus!
You’re in a chatty mood because “out of the overflow of your heart, the mouth speaks” very evident you’ve been spending much time with the Lord. You’ve been very obedient to the social media call and I’m here to say it’s hard and I FULLY SUPPORT YOU! Love you content and transparency
I need you. This is insane how much my heart needed this. So thankful for God using you in this way! I need it so badly in this season of my life. 😭😭😭😭 I could cry in your arms right now.
One thing I’m unlearning in my marriage is thinking I’m responsible for other people’s feelings. I can only control how I feel. I would try to control how my husband felt and try to guess what he’s thinking. That was never helpful to me or him. I would even base my worth on how he was feeling, rather than base it on how God has called me worthy no matter what. Letting go of control of my husband, and taking ownership for my own feelings and reactions has been huge for me. Praise God ❤
I am unlearned telling my parents EVERYTHING after being married. Calling them for everything and expecting them to be there and fix it instead of trusting my spouse. I suffered with this for a LONG time. Now I am learning to trust my spouse and his judgment. It's hard and it's definitely an unlearning of what society tells us.
Woww just wow, please do more of these Sit Down Talks, I resonate with every talk you’ve had. I’ve been going through my journey as well and every time you upload it’s like you’re hitting the nail on the head. God is surely using you and continue! Such a blessing! ❤
The point " no one is a good person" was so eye opening to me. I feel like I used to compare myself to others and think they were a better person than me bc of the things they would do/ wouldn't do. But now I look at it and I'm like thank God for Jesus and redemption. Any " good" quality or moral in me like the fruits of the spirit come directly from the Lord . Without him I am nothing but a sinner living and walking in darkness. We constantly have to allow the Lord to humble us. But it's also so freeing being humbled by him, knowing who God is and that we are not God.
One thing that has really helped me with trying to overcome gossip is praying Psalm 141:3 as I have the temptation to gossip. “Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord. Keep watch over the door of my lips!”
This exact topic has been on my heart lately. One thing I've been unlearning is the go go go mentality of our world when it comes to our schedules, our children's education, and just everything is being rushed. Taking time to really slow down and not feel like we can never catch up or trying to rush to the next step or goal. Thank you needed to hear this 🙏
My husband and I started doing that-we will put the babies to bed early with a quick dinner, then either cook something delish for ourselves or order food. No babies crying, no toddlers trying to eat your food. That alone is a blessing, but also just getting some extra, intentional time with each other. We have the peace and time to talk about our lives, catch up, plan for the future. Plus our love languages are food, so we are always excited about it. 😂 AND we can have a drink or two without worrying about who’s driving home, because we’re already there.
“Pulling out receipts!” *grabs bible* 😂👏 Keep them coming! These videos have been such a blessing to many. I truly feel revival coming, praise the Lord!🙌🙏 The Spirit is clearly speaking through you Milena, keep your eyes on him and rebuke the hate of the enemy. In Jesus’ name! This lady is praying for you and the whole Ciciotti family consistently💞
Thank you for sharing everything that your learning through christ. Praying that you continue to grow and share in the future videos. I know when you get fired up for Jesus that’s when Satan likes to attack us so I am praying for you to continue growing and speaking truth. I have been searching for truth in God myself and have these similar outcomes! God is so faithful! So happy you’re a sister in Christ!
It's the least of 2 hard things but it also brings a lot of pain to everybody. It would be better if people made better choices and invest in their marriage and each other, of course people also change so it's very complex.
In this stage of life I am learning to live through trials and finding joy despite the hard. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old in 2020. I’ve been fighting it for 3 years and I’m stage 4. I have a 4 year old daughter. She was 1 when I was diagnosed. When I put all my mind on statistics and the wants of the world I feel angry and jealous that I’m going through this and I want the lives of cancer free people. But when I dive into the word. I feel an overwhelming peace.
This was definitely encouraging. Actually all your videos have been so encouraging to me. God just recently bought your videos to me and I been watching them all for the past week and I can not explain how much they have been such a blessing to me. I make 3 years living for Christ this October and I feel like your videos are not only convicting me in areas God wants me to get better in but also they are Gods conformation telling me He is proud of me in a lot of areas. All Glory to the Lord none to myself but it’s such a beautiful feeling to know the Lord has truly changed me and continues to change me only for one purpose and that’s to truly be like Him. So yea I know Jesus has bought your videos to me to speak to me through you so I thank you so much for your obedience to the Lord and sharing your walk with Him and being so transparent and gentle and firm with love. I found myself thinking “I wanna be like her” and the Spirit brought Paul to remembrance when he said ” imitate me for I also imitate Christ” and that’s what it is. I don’t want to be like you, I want to be like Jesus and I truly see Him in you. So again I will give honor where honor is do and tell you thank u my sister keep it up and keep standing firm. I pray the Lord continue to bless you with wisdom and covering over you and your family. Stay blessed 🩷
I’ve been loving the change we all see in you and while I agree with not letting your marriage and relationship die, I feel like women/couples need to give themselves grace in the season of having toddlers. Not everyone has easy babies who sleep well or what not. It’s exhausting and can make a mom feel worse hearing this message if she’s in the thick of it and thinks gosh I’m ruining my marriage. The husband should be understanding and have grace for his wife who is in this new season. Working as a team. I just want new moms to know they’re doing the best they can and don’t need to feel more pressure to tend to their husband and his needs/feelings if you’re barely scraping by in your new role. Babies recruited so much in that first year, you got this mamas 🙌🏼❤️
You stepping on my toes! I need to line back up with the Lord! Thanks for sharing, friend! So thankful the Lord is doing His work in you and your family!
Unlearning these worldly things after leaning the Word of God is one of the hardest constants in life. The more you learn from God, the more you have to unlearn things of this world. So glad you made a video on this 🤎🤎
With 4 kids, the oldest with special needs the date nights definitely were not there. Thankfully now as the kids are older we have the time in the evenings to talk about our day. Communication is so important.
You mentioned to pay attention to what moms you’re following or watching. This is so true😭😭😭😭 I’m single with no kids BUT Watching you love and enjoy and nurture your kids has took me from wanting 1-2 kids to wanting 6 I’ve almost always wanted to be a mother but now I look forward to it with so much joy🥰
Thank you sister for this! I’m not married I’m a single mom but it’s good to learn more about Gods word. I have been putting God first slowly studying the Bible and can I say that when I put God first my day feels totally different. I feel happier even if things happen throughout the day I tend to be more loving and patient. ❤
I just finished your Ruth bible study. I know I was meant to hear a part of this today as I literally was on my way home with my daughter and dog to drop off our son for pre k and on my way home I got an emotional feeling of that I needed to share with someone that our tongues can speak life or death. ❤ you are such a blessing
Love this.! Before my pastor passed one of the first things He taught me was. Sometimes we Got to Unlearn to Learn! If shared that with many people. Always will. Such a good lil piece of wisdom. 💚
I’ve been getting up with my husband since we got married (going on 4 years) usually 3ish am and everyone would always say I was crazy. Honestly it makes such a difference to serve him in the little ways! It’s so sad that we are teaching young girls they shouldn’t do anything for their spouse because “they can do it themselves” this mindset is robbing marriages of so much love and connection!
I think you should consider girls who grew up watching mom do everything and get nothinv in return . Those girls who were made to do chores while their bros did nothing .People are speaking from a broken place .
Thank you for this! I’m praying for friends like you guys. ones that encourage my husband and I. just watching these videos I relate to you so much in every way I literally just told my husband this morning that we need to prioritize each other more like we used to and are called to. he agreed and it’s crazy how you are speaking on that first thing in this video so thank you once again for the encouraging words and being led by the Lord! so glad you haven’t quit UA-cam and please don’t because you are making an impact on peoples lives!
The first one and last one - were hard for me to understand. I didn't grow up to see what a healthy partnership looked like. I knew how important it was to put your spouse first, but after not receiving the same energy and action, it led me to be deceitful. Once that relationship ended last year, it has only encouraged me to draw myself closer to God & Jesus and desire marriage under God like never before. This was an incredible video. Thanks Milena.
Asking God to help you see and love your husband through HIS eyes can be a game changer... When my marriage has hit rocky seasons, and I remember to pray that prayer (with a genuine heart)... That prayer has never gone unanswered.... My husband may not change in that moment but my heart, my thoughts and my anxiety around the situation change drastically and I have the ability to be a better wife than I was the day before, regardless of our circumstances or my own hurt. Also, the point about life nor being harder for one or the other... When I started looking at our life through the obstacles and responsibilities my husband faces it gave me a new appreciation for what he does and sacrifices for our family. We will celebrate our 13th year married this year, and these are probably 2 of the biggest things I've learned and will continue to do for the rest of our lives.
I’m loving these new type of videos. This one really spoke to me. I’m about to have my first baby in May so this was great timing! I would love to see more about making your spouse a priority on the podcast!
SO SO GOOD!! 👏🏼 I need to love my husband unconditionally like Jesus loves me even when my husband isn’t being loving towards me. It’s SO hard but that’s what I need to work on
such an amazing vlog. thank you for refreshing us and sharing all the knowledge! meeting moms in the next few days and definitely sharing all the learning and unlearning that just happened in my heart. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been praying a lot for my marriage as I’m going through postpartum with my 2nd baby, and this video was exactly what I needed. Wow thank you
Milena I"m not sure if you'll see this but I wanted to say thank you so so much for being so blunt, raw, open and vulnerable on your platforms. I feel like you were fed up and gave it all to God and he FUELED a newfound passion in you and he is working so powerfully in you. I've been witnessing this intense change and growth in you just through what you've been willing to share. I'm amazed and thankful. God is doing this through many families and more specifically wives and mothers. So beautiful to be in sync with you.
He is doing it through fathers and husbands as well, in Jesus's name!
I can totally agree to what you're saying so I back you on this! I see such a Godly growth in her. So encouraging
Same!!! I love it!! Praise be to Our Lord Almighty 🎉 He is truly bringing in the remnant and refining all the last bits ❤
Yes yes yes 🫶I would say it the exact way ! Love this content 😍🫶
YES THERE HAS BEEN A BIG CHANGE IN HER 🔥
Would love for you guys to sit down and do a podcast about unlearning about worldly parenting!
noted ✍🏼😆
Yes, that would be awesome!
That would be amazing!
Milena, you and Jordan have been such a light in my life for the past two years after bringing my son into the world. I watched you previously to having him but I can really feel
God working through your content lately and speaking DIRECTLY to me 😅 You have taught me so much and opened my eyes to so many things that no one talks about. You truly show me that living in a worldly way doesn’t please God at all not does it benefit me and my family. You have to live through Him and walk with Him in order to know that love happiness and joy. Thank you for everything ❤You will never understand the impact you’ve had on my relationship with God and my spouse ❤️
YES 🙌🏼
Love your content lately! Another reason to make your spouse a priority: your children are watching and you are showing them how a relationship should be. Be the wife you want your daughter to be, be the husband you want your son to be, show your daughter the type of man she should look for, show your son the type of woman he should look for in a spouse.
Yes, I love this as well as our relationships with our spouse are to show the world what a relationship with the Lord looks like!
I love this perspective! 🤍
as a 17 year old i’m so glad that women like you use your platform for such a good thing. God bless you 🫶🏽

Ps. Just wanna say I’ve been following you for quite sometime because I love following Christ-centered influencers, and you have been the most Christ like in these last couple of months! When I first followed, not everything you did or say did I agree with. But now more than ever, I see how Jesus has been working on your heart and I love it! Not that you weren’t uplifting at times in the past, and that’s why I followed, tehe. But you can see the maturity that God has given you through obeying Him ❤
MILENA! KEEP 👏🏼 THIS 👏🏼 FUEL 👏🏼 GOING 👏🏼 I'm telling you, the Lord is speaking through you. As a mother to twin girls, I've been so bitter and angry and feeling like they're a burden I fell into a trap, and getting myself out. I could rewatch this video over and over. You are speaking everything on point girl. Xo
Yes she really is
Wow 100% can relate
I love how you are spreading the Word. I myself don’t feel like I’m for this present world. I see how sinful and demonic things are now and I really appreciate your motivation to live holy and keep God first.
Right! I look around and feel like the whole world has gone insane... How did it get this bad? I mean we know how but it's still mind blowing how far we have fallen as the human race...
Milena, I am an atheist and have been my whole adult like, but watching your videos the way you speak truthfully with such conviction is incredibly eye opening. I don’t think I will ever become a Christian, but thank you for being so welcoming and sharing the thoughts and ideas of the Christian community. No matter your religion, I think there are so many good lessons to be learned.
I’m curious what you mean when you say she is speaking truthfully. If what she is saying is true then why should I be an atheist?
It is refreshing to read your comment. I used to be an atheist for many years as well. I would say you are very close to meeting HIM. 😉 Your heart is longing and seeking for truth and He is definitely pursuing your heart just by the fact you ended up finding this video. Blessings to you. ♡
@@zng3111 She was not speaking for you she was speakimg on her behalf
I totally understand what you are saying!! I used to think like you when you said that you don't think you'll be a Christian (and the atheist part😓)
"We grow as the Holy Spirit makes the truths of the gospel understandable to our minds and beautiful to our hearts, igniting love and devotion to Jesus"
Praying you get to know Him❤
The one true religion now is Islam, and it always has been, just named differently in the past. God sent the bible to guide mankind through Jesus (May peace be upon him), however, the bible had been tampered with and there are so many contradictions. God tried again with a new nation, and gave Moses the Torah and again…people added to it for their own benefit.
God (Allah) then sent His final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings be upon him) (just as He sent Jesus, May peace be upon him) the bible)) the Quran as a guidance for mankind. And this time God promised that He Himself will preserve it, and not leave it in the hands of people as He did before and thus, if you look at the first copy of the Quran, and the copies all over the world now, they’re all exactly the same, with 0 contradictions, and holes found in the bible and Torah due to peoples tampering with it, is filled all in the Quran. The Quran is purely Allahs (Gods) words and everything in it makes sense and is the truth. It’s the religion of peace and I believe if any devout Christian reads the Quran will see all this for themselves and submit before the Lord. Just as Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of Allah (May peace and blessings be upon them) did.
In Arabic the one who “submits” is called a Muslim ❤ there are many Christians who submitted and thus are muslims because of the truth they saw, I pray Allah allows everyone to be guided and gives them the courage to break away from what they’ve been taught in the past and see the truth which is the religion Islam, Ameen
“Stop feeding your flesh!” Get it girl!! The Lord has been revealing so many things to me that I need to unlearn too. Blessed by your boldness and faith!! Praise God for Jesus and how He’s moving on the earth!
'Do not do marriage back to back, you need to do it face to face'. Love this.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” -Matthew 6:33 🙏🏼💕
Something I unlearned years ago and still thankful today that I unlearned it was to "not give up" when the world would give up. To stay in a marriage when the world have walked away. To forgive when the world would have held the grudge. Marriage only lasts when you have a forgiving heart. Your spouse will always fail you. (Let's face it, they are imperfect just like us). We will always fail our spouse. We will always let each other down. But with each mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow so we don't have to make that mistake again. So staying in a marriage that the world would have divorced has brought me HOLY JOY! PEACE , LOVE, all the fruits of the spirit, and a third baby who would have never been here if we didn't work it out :)
Even when there is cheating ,side babies and abuse??? I really need you to answer me this . Even through extreme abuse or just abuse in general? Even when you are being controlled , He is coming home extremely drunk and abusive??? Brings mistresses in the home ??
Milena is on FIRE 🔥 I really see Jesus through her
Admitting you learned something from your mother-in-law is so humble and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!
Milena I literally cannot begin to tell you how inspiring your latest videos have been. I’ve always watched your videos but holy moly you have changed SOOOOOO much.. the Lord truly transforms us, prunes our lives and graciously gives us wisdom when we truly seek him.. you have wisdom all over you and I can’t tell you enough how cool it is to watch you grow especially recently. Your content is literally golden and there have been many instances that have inspired me beyond belief. The words that you speak are not your own they are from the Lord. I watched your video about vanity yesterday and I literally sent it to so many of my friends because it was just so powerful. God bless you
Wow. I needed this. I have fallen into the mindset that my children can be burdens at times and it’s horrible to think that way. They are truly blessings, thank you for the reminder.
this is so refreshing. I believe the more knowledge you receive from the Bible, the more wisdom and discipline you gain.
Milena, the change in your channel over the past few years has been so refreshing. I started watching when Alethea was born, and I can visibly see how you have grown in your relationship and devotion to God. It is SOO refreshing to see a woman being bold about the things of God on the internet when social media can be full of false teaching. What you are learning is so valuable to me as I pursue God even as a young single. THANK YOU!!
My hands are full with my children but my heart is full because of my children!! Absolutely the biggest blessings I have been given
Ok I don't know what it is about your content lately, but I just crave it. It has been bringing me so much peace in this insane world. Thank you
I have been married for 10 years this June and prioritizing marriage is definitely a BIG thing. My husbands job has us moving a lot so we do not have friends or family around to watch our kids, but we make it work. We take the time after they go to sleep to prioritize reconnecting with eachother. It is important.
Oh my! I woke up this morning and read all about controlling the tongue in James 3 and Matthew 12:33-37! This is such a confirmation!!!! God is PERFECT🥹🫶🏼😍🤎
I don’t go out of my way to comment on videos. but Milena the content you’ve been putting out has been refreshing and so restoring in my life especially as a mom and wife trying to be live a Christian lifestyle in this world today. Thank you 😊 ❤
I’m definitely trying to unlearn worrying & focusing too much on the future. I’m learning how to surrender to the Lord & to place all things in His hands.
I’d really love a whole video on children being blessings. I’ve seen the whole world see them as burdens and as a new mom I’m trying to not even start with a negative attitude. ❤️❤️
This really touched me. We were originally told I was pregnant with a boy, and this was confirmed through both genetic testing and ultrasound. However when I delivered we were surprised to find she was a girl. I remember people asking me if I was disappointed or depressed or even angry about my daughters gender. And then when she was 2 weeks old she started crying and screaming with no reason as to why. I spent my weeks just walking around the house with her and holding her, walking over 10,000 steps a day around my living room. And so, I would hear from others that she’s a difficult baby, and how they didn’t know how I was handling her with so much patience, and bothersome it must be.my favorite was “ I can’t imagine having a baby that fussy” However in my mind all I could think about was how blessed we were that God chose us to be her parents. How much he must loves us to have blessed us with her. But in our world kids are meant to be seen not heard. We are told that children must not be difficult or loud. Or do anything that could inconvenience others. If they aren’t they become bothersome .
Girl I am LIVING out right now the whole “I have to be a good wife even if my husband isn’t being a good husband” thing right now.
It all comes back down to the letting go of what my idea of how a marriage is supposed to look, or how a godly husband is supposed to act. We all have an image of what we expect our marriages (or lives in general) to look like whether that was shaped by societal standards, our own personal upbringings, movies/tv shows etc. The moment we go to the alter (which is traditionally a place of sacrifice) we die to all that.
Knowing these things and actually living these things are two very different and *difficult* things. It’s such hard work.
And no one talks about the grief associated with it.
My hubbs and I have been married 5 years and I have had to grieve the man he was when we first married one another (simply because life happens and there are things that being married will pull out of you that you otherwise wouldn’t have had to face in singlehood 🤣).
It’s a tough season to be in right now, and with 3 small boys (4,3,1) constantly pulling and tugging at me.
WOW! This encouraged me so much. I'm a worship pastor and my husband is a young adult pastor and I just want to say thank you! Thanks for always speaking truth. I needed to be reminded of this today. Grateful for you!
Just read this after watching this!!♥️
Colossians 1:19 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
We need to walk in HIM, not the world. Such a great reminder, thank you Milena. ♥️
Yes!! Last year the Lord has been ministering to me about unlearning EVERYTHING I’ve ever learned in this world and He has been filling me up with scripture to fill my head!! God is soooo good!! Revival is here!!!🔥🔥🔥
The Lord is also teaching me that! Unlearn everything! Unlearn every definition any word ! Even learning not to complain!
I am currently unlearning the new age deception and fighting against spiritual warfare as I turn to God.
I've been lazy with my faith walk recently but I asked God to help me discern the lies of this world vs his truth. This is a very timely video, thank you ❤️ I would love for you guys to dive deep
Watching this as a single Christian woman that is preparing for her man of God 🙌🏽 love this content and thanks for being so real about the Biblical standards of being a married woman 🤍💍
Ooh, for me, it’s been seeing housework/chores a BLESSING and a privilege rather than a dread. I find it a blessing that I HAVE a husband to clean up dishes after rather than dreading “another chore.” ❤😅🙏
I’m so thankful I found your channel. I have been making these discoverings it seems at the same exact time.. vanity, priorities, etc. I was allowing the gym and fitness to be an idol and I had no idea. I was putting myself before my own husband and didn’t realize it. I had vanity I didn’t previously think existed. I’m so glad you’re posting this stuff and that there seems to be an entire group of us growing in our Faith at the same time!
Praise the Lord!!!
YES 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 please do more of these! One thing I am trying to unlearn is people pleasing. (I struggle with this regarding my mom.) and I was literally just reminding myself the other day that we do not live to please other people, we live to please God.
We have some major division in our family. My mom absolutely despises my dad (they divorced when I was 8). But I recently realized that I have been canceling out my dad for the last 20 years in fear of upsetting my mom. (She’s not close to my other siblings because they have a close relationship with my dad.) so people pleasing, or I guess “Mother pleasing” is what I am trying to unlearn.
Praying for you ❤
I have a similar issue with my mom. God is so faithful to help with these difficult situations. 🙏🏽
Sister, it is so so so beautiful to see how the Lord is pruning you this year!!!! Hallelujah! Prayed for you sis. May the Lord bless your home and keep you!
You mentioned following women that see their children as blessings, has helped you and I just want you to know that YOU are that woman i followed and felt motivated.
This is so encouraging to see the Lord showing you all these things. There has been a huge shift in me as well and though I wish I learned them when I was younger I’m still thankful at 40 with 4 kids to be embracing them now! I’m so enjoying your channel and seeing what the Lord is doing and thank you for your boldness !❤
Yes please do more videos. I’m currently learning that my children are not a burden. I became pregnant unexpectedly last year and it shifted my heart to be resentful and just full of anger. That I was losing myself, my dreams, my aspirations. The lord had to break that down and tear it apart from me. It’s a struggle. I’m still learning.
Check out Abbie Halberstadt’s channel. She wrote M is for Mama, which I also recommend on this topic.
I’ve seen you grow so much in your faith these past year Milena! God is working in you!! & it’s honestly so inspiring & beautiful to see🤍
Yes GIRL!!!! You literally have said everything I have been thinking! I am so thankful to you for saying this about loving your husband and children. I love seeing this journey with you and I don't feel alone!! Hallelujah! So great to hear woman speaking THE truth and showing your passion to others.
I needed this!!!! Growing up my parents always told us , their marriage came before us kids. My mom drilled it in our heads that my dad came first no matter what. The problem was we were abused, I was abused by him but my mom continued to stay for yearsss!!! So when I got married and had kids the saying “our marriage comes first” always was something I hated hearing because of what I seen in my childhood. How could a mother choose a man who is abusive over their own children? How could a mother not protect her kids because “her husband comes first”?… This is something I struggled with. It wasn’t till this last year I had to really re-learn that meaning and how to live by it truthfully. The way my parents did it was wrong but that doesn’t mean it has to be wrong for me. I have the ability to live life correctly and purely. I have the ability to plant precious seeds for my kids to that when they are grown and married they can see what that saying truly means. They can love their spouse BUT also have an unconditional love for their kids!! Thank you for this video!! I truly take all your wise words🤍
Milena, it’s really a joy to see you finally doing all this work and spreading the word! We are all very proud of you for the courage 👍🙏🏻🥰🌹
I'm not Christian, but I couldn't agree more with everything you're saying.
Every mother and wife should listen to this. 💖
Hi Tanya. The Lord wants you to become one of His followers. His grace and salvation extends to anyone and everyone. He died for YOU. Have a good day! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Girl you are slaying these videos left and right. I've been following you for 6 years now, and I'm just so proud of the woman that God is forming you into. KEEP DOING YOUR THE GOOD WORK! Your pursuit of God has inspired me so much over the years.
Milena, I’ve been struggling this past week which has been affecting my marriage and me mentally. I’ve felt bitterness and jealousy and I feel like the lord called me to watch this video. Thank you for your reminders ♥
*You are Anointed, these past sit downs seem to be directly pointed to me. ESPECIALLY This one and I am not even that religious but feeling like being called again. I connect & relate with so much you say/go through. Thanks for sharing and being Raw with it. Viewer from Spain* ❤
Would just like to remind any mamas on here that you can still view your children as blessings and still not always enjoy motherhood cause it’s HARD AF. Some days you just have to focus on surviving and that’s OK ❤️
I can’t put a finger yet on what I’m unlearning but what I am learning even more as the years have gone by is that when you make your every move in your life centered on Christ, He is being glorified and others are also being blessed. Let us be encouraged to make our purpose to know Him and make Him known by the way that we live. Because when we do this, God will do the rest regardless of what the outcome or circumstances are 🤍 but yes, thank you Milena for being a blessing to all those around you. thank You for the rebuking, realigning you’ve been helping out with through your videos. God bless you 🫶🏼
Love how encouraging your words are and backed by the Word of God. Thanks for talking about the challenges and being so real and honest. It’s getting harder and harder to share the Word of God because of the world we live in and how ppl twists things but I am so thankful you are continuing to speak and spread the light and love of Jesus. As a wife and mom, your videos encourage me greatly. Thank you!!
My husband and I are currently unlearning all of the unbiblical advice around planning our family, birth control, ect. We are really seeking the Lord at this time as there are so many extremes! I would love to see a video from you and Jordan on this!
You have no idea how encouraging this is. I binged the last 3 “spicy” videos and omg I needed it. I could say a lot more, but that’s the gist of it. Just thank you for being obedient to the Lord and sharing what He called you to share. You’re impacting more people than you know 🥺
And yes! Touch more on this with Jordan on marriage, motherhood, etc.
I’ve watched your channel for about 2 years now, ever since I got engaged to my now husband and wanted to grow closer to the Lord. I’ve looked to your videos as an example and to learn how to be a better wife and mother one day. I can happily say that we are now expecting our first baby and I’m rewatching all of your videos and am so excited to be able to apply the things I’ve learned from you to my life. Thank you for being a good example in this confusing world Milena, even as you’re learning and growing, God is teaching many through you 💛
Wow. Thank you Milena! "I am called to be a good wife whether or not my husband is being a good husband" that struck my heart chords so deeply this morning. I have been asking the Lord for guidance for this exact thing, but didn't have the right words for what I was seeking. This is it. Thank you for this reminder. Now I can have a more strategic approach for my prayers regarding this topic!
I really really appreciate your point of view of kids being blessings, not burdens! I don’t have kids yet but I feel like the idea that kids are burdens has been ingrained in me since I was so young and ever since becoming a Christian, I have felt how wrong that is. I can’t imagine the way they will change my life but I pray I never see them in such a negative way like the world does 🙏🏽
Something I’ve noticed… you are doing less on the outside, but because of what Jesus is doing in you on the inside, you are GLOWING. And it’s so beautiful to see! Seriously his beauty is shining through you and is what is making you truly beautiful💖
The being called to be a good wife regardless if your husband is being a good husband really spoke to me. The worst advice I bought into was that if he was being an absent husband then I need to stop doing the wifely things like cooking dinner, doing his laundry, etc. It was a slippery slope from there in terms of how rocky my marriage got since neither of us were tending to it.
I would love to hear both you and your husband deeper thoughts on the topics of marriage and children ❤
This is so so so good! Amen sis 👏🏼 Thank you for your boldness and your sincere heart! ❤ Me and my husband have recently been unlearning the lies the church has been teaching about Gods Law and Torah. How it pleases him to follow His commandments and they’re for us not a burden. 😍 We’ve been following His feasts, honoring His sabbath and eating clean foods. This simple life changes have truly altered and grown our faith in Yeshua more than ever! Just wanted to share 🥰 Bless you sis!! 💗
I loved this. I struggle also with that too, " he doesn't do that for me so why should I do it for him". 25 years married and still learning and willing to learn from the Holy Spirit!
Love this! I agree with everything. So much wisdom from you. Me and my husband just had a second child and it’s been challenging, but we try to read Bible together and pray together and have little dates here and there. And yes, the world is teaching the contrary to what God is teaching us. Milena God bless you and your family❤
We all need more friends like you!!! Your messages are life changing. Thanks for posting. We were on the fence so long about Disney and we went ahead and canceled after your video! 💕 loved the message in this video too
So young and so wise you are. You inspire me to follow the Lord with a smile on my face and see hardships in a different light. I can feel God speaking through you 🤍 blessings from Hawaii!
MILENA people look at me that way too, i have 3 kids and i thank the Lord for these gifts. God bless you you're such an inspiration. You need to give us a full house tour id like that.
I am currently unlearning that just because I am going through a difficult season doesn’t mean I can forsake time with the lord. I used to think when I’m down I can shut everything off, and that’s an excuse, God understands etc. etc.
What I am walking through and learning currently is that it’s okay to be in a tough season, but walk through that season with him not without. When you start to venture alone, you find yourself seeking comfort in places that will have you messed up and sinning.
I am single and 29 years old, I often remind myself you cannot do life without God because your flesh will try to have me in these streets, and I have no business there lol. I need to keep my little happy, saved and single self right next to Jesus!
You’re in a chatty mood because “out of the overflow of your heart, the mouth speaks” very evident you’ve been spending much time with the Lord. You’ve been very obedient to the social media call and I’m here to say it’s hard and I FULLY SUPPORT YOU! Love you content and transparency
I need you. This is insane how much my heart needed this. So thankful for God using you in this way! I need it so badly in this season of my life. 😭😭😭😭 I could cry in your arms right now.
One thing I’m unlearning in my marriage is thinking I’m responsible for other people’s feelings. I can only control how I feel. I would try to control how my husband felt and try to guess what he’s thinking. That was never helpful to me or him. I would even base my worth on how he was feeling, rather than base it on how God has called me worthy no matter what.
Letting go of control of my husband, and taking ownership for my own feelings and reactions has been huge for me. Praise God ❤
I am unlearned telling my parents EVERYTHING after being married. Calling them for everything and expecting them to be there and fix it instead of trusting my spouse. I suffered with this for a LONG time. Now I am learning to trust my spouse and his judgment. It's hard and it's definitely an unlearning of what society tells us.
Woww just wow, please do more of these Sit Down Talks, I resonate with every talk you’ve had. I’ve been going through my journey as well and every time you upload it’s like you’re hitting the nail on the head. God is surely using you and continue! Such a blessing! ❤
The point " no one is a good person" was so eye opening to me. I feel like I used to compare myself to others and think they were a better person than me bc of the things they would do/ wouldn't do. But now I look at it and I'm like thank God for Jesus and redemption. Any " good" quality or moral in me like the fruits of the spirit come directly from the Lord . Without him I am nothing but a sinner living and walking in darkness. We constantly have to allow the Lord to humble us. But it's also so freeing being humbled by him, knowing who God is and that we are not God.
One thing that has really helped me with trying to overcome gossip is praying Psalm 141:3 as I have the temptation to gossip.
“Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord. Keep watch over the door of my lips!”
This exact topic has been on my heart lately. One thing I've been unlearning is the go go go mentality of our world when it comes to our schedules, our children's education, and just everything is being rushed. Taking time to really slow down and not feel like we can never catch up or trying to rush to the next step or goal. Thank you needed to hear this 🙏
My husband and I started doing that-we will put the babies to bed early with a quick dinner, then either cook something delish for ourselves or order food. No babies crying, no toddlers trying to eat your food. That alone is a blessing, but also just getting some extra, intentional time with each other. We have the peace and time to talk about our lives, catch up, plan for the future. Plus our love languages are food, so we are always excited about it. 😂 AND we can have a drink or two without worrying about who’s driving home, because we’re already there.
I am a a Christian woman and watching this like wow,thank you so much
LOVE these style of videos. Don’t ever stop sharing what the Lord calls you to!!!🤍
“Pulling out receipts!” *grabs bible* 😂👏 Keep them coming! These videos have been such a blessing to many. I truly feel revival coming, praise the Lord!🙌🙏 The Spirit is clearly speaking through you Milena, keep your eyes on him and rebuke the hate of the enemy. In Jesus’ name! This lady is praying for you and the whole Ciciotti family consistently💞
Thank you for sharing everything that your learning through christ. Praying that you continue to grow and share in the future videos. I know when you get fired up for Jesus that’s when Satan likes to attack us so I am praying for you to continue growing and speaking truth. I have been searching for truth in God myself and have these similar outcomes! God is so faithful! So happy you’re a sister in Christ!
nothing wrong with a “broken home”. Sometimes they are much more peaceful & healthier for a child.
It's the least of 2 hard things but it also brings a lot of pain to everybody. It would be better if people made better choices and invest in their marriage and each other, of course people also change so it's very complex.
Do you come from one?
In this stage of life I am learning to live through trials and finding joy despite the hard. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old in 2020. I’ve been fighting it for 3 years and I’m stage 4. I have a 4 year old daughter. She was 1 when I was diagnosed. When I put all my mind on statistics and the wants of the world I feel angry and jealous that I’m going through this and I want the lives of cancer free people. But when I dive into the word. I feel an overwhelming peace.
This was definitely encouraging. Actually all your videos have been so encouraging to me. God just recently bought your videos to me and I been watching them all for the past week and I can not explain how much they have been such a blessing to me. I make 3 years living for Christ this October and I feel like your videos are not only convicting me in areas God wants me to get better in but also they are Gods conformation telling me He is proud of me in a lot of areas. All Glory to the Lord none to myself but it’s such a beautiful feeling to know the Lord has truly changed me and continues to change me only for one purpose and that’s to truly be like Him. So yea I know Jesus has bought your videos to me to speak to me through you so I thank you so much for your obedience to the Lord and sharing your walk with Him and being so transparent and gentle and firm with love. I found myself thinking “I wanna be like her” and the Spirit brought Paul to remembrance when he said ” imitate me for I also imitate Christ” and that’s what it is. I don’t want to be like you, I want to be like Jesus and I truly see Him in you. So again I will give honor where honor is do and tell you thank u my sister keep it up and keep standing firm. I pray the Lord continue to bless you with wisdom and covering over you and your family. Stay blessed 🩷
I’ve been loving the change we all see in you and while I agree with not letting your marriage and relationship die, I feel like women/couples need to give themselves grace in the season of having toddlers. Not everyone has easy babies who sleep well or what not. It’s exhausting and can make a mom feel worse hearing this message if she’s in the thick of it and thinks gosh I’m ruining my marriage. The husband should be understanding and have grace for his wife who is in this new season. Working as a team. I just want new moms to know they’re doing the best they can and don’t need to feel more pressure to tend to their husband and his needs/feelings if you’re barely scraping by in your new role. Babies recruited so much in that first year, you got this mamas 🙌🏼❤️
You stepping on my toes! I need to line back up with the Lord! Thanks for sharing, friend! So thankful the Lord is doing His work in you and your family!
Unlearning these worldly things after leaning the Word of God is one of the hardest constants in life. The more you learn from God, the more you have to unlearn things of this world. So glad you made a video on this 🤎🤎
That last one!!!!!!! God has been teaching me that teaching me that in the last few months and is hard, but it is worth it.
With 4 kids, the oldest with special needs the date nights definitely were not there. Thankfully now as the kids are older we have the time in the evenings to talk about our day. Communication is so important.
You mentioned to pay attention to what moms you’re following or watching.
This is so true😭😭😭😭
I’m single with no kids
BUT
Watching you love and enjoy and nurture your kids has took me from wanting 1-2 kids to wanting 6
I’ve almost always wanted to be a mother but now I look forward to it with so much joy🥰
Thank you sister for this! I’m not married I’m a single mom but it’s good to learn more about Gods word. I have been putting God first slowly studying the Bible and can I say that when I put God first my day feels totally different. I feel happier even if things happen throughout the day I tend to be more loving and patient. ❤
I just finished your Ruth bible study. I know I was meant to hear a part of this today as I literally was on my way home with my daughter and dog to drop off our son for pre k and on my way home I got an emotional feeling of that I needed to share with someone that our tongues can speak life or death. ❤ you are such a blessing
Love this.!
Before my pastor passed one of the first things He taught me was.
Sometimes we Got to Unlearn to Learn!
If shared that with many people. Always will. Such a good lil piece of wisdom. 💚
I’ve been getting up with my husband since we got married (going on 4 years) usually 3ish am and everyone would always say I was crazy. Honestly it makes such a difference to serve him in the little ways! It’s so sad that we are teaching young girls they shouldn’t do anything for their spouse because “they can do it themselves” this mindset is robbing marriages of so much love and connection!
I think you should consider girls who grew up watching mom do everything and get nothinv in return . Those girls who were made to do chores while their bros did nothing .People are speaking from a broken place .
Some women get nothing in return . So that is why they speak like this .
Girl I feel like we r in the trenches together coming out of the this world. We are not for this world, the path is narrow. Praise Yah
Thank you for this! I’m praying for friends like you guys. ones that encourage my husband and I. just watching these videos I relate to you so much in every way I literally just told my husband this morning that we need to prioritize each other more like we used to and are called to. he agreed and it’s crazy how you are speaking on that first thing in this video so thank you once again for the encouraging words and being led by the Lord! so glad you haven’t quit UA-cam and please don’t because you are making an impact on peoples lives!
The first one and last one - were hard for me to understand. I didn't grow up to see what a healthy partnership looked like. I knew how important it was to put your spouse first, but after not receiving the same energy and action, it led me to be deceitful. Once that relationship ended last year, it has only encouraged me to draw myself closer to God & Jesus and desire marriage under God like never before. This was an incredible video. Thanks Milena.
Asking God to help you see and love your husband through HIS eyes can be a game changer... When my marriage has hit rocky seasons, and I remember to pray that prayer (with a genuine heart)... That prayer has never gone unanswered.... My husband may not change in that moment but my heart, my thoughts and my anxiety around the situation change drastically and I have the ability to be a better wife than I was the day before, regardless of our circumstances or my own hurt. Also, the point about life nor being harder for one or the other... When I started looking at our life through the obstacles and responsibilities my husband faces it gave me a new appreciation for what he does and sacrifices for our family. We will celebrate our 13th year married this year, and these are probably 2 of the biggest things I've learned and will continue to do for the rest of our lives.
I’m loving these new type of videos. This one really spoke to me. I’m about to have my first baby in May so this was great timing!
I would love to see more about making your spouse a priority on the podcast!
SO SO GOOD!! 👏🏼 I need to love my husband unconditionally like Jesus loves me even when my husband isn’t being loving towards me. It’s SO hard but that’s what I need to work on
such an amazing vlog. thank you for refreshing us and sharing all the knowledge! meeting moms in the next few days and definitely sharing all the learning and unlearning that just happened in my heart. ❤❤❤
MY WORD FOR THE YEAR IS JOY!!! THANKS for sharing TRUTH on it
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been praying a lot for my marriage as I’m going through postpartum with my 2nd baby, and this video was exactly what I needed. Wow thank you
