I haven't watched you in over a year, but it is so evident how much you've grown in the Lord.The depth of peace in your voice... wow. I am so excited to start watching you again!
I’m nowhere near marriage or motherhood but to see you cultivate a God centered community for your family and others is beautiful!!!!
I’m a seventh day Adventist- I keep the sabbath every week. But after being in the church where one of our core values is to worship on the Lord on the sabbath and rest. I feel like I have become luke warm in my faith and lost the meaning of the sabbath. The fact that a non SDA is inspiring me to continue serving the Lord in the way He asks of us and is showing their children the glory of keeping the sabbath makes me feel happy and inspired. Thank you for being willing to share!
Same, I'm also SDA and this is so inspiring. Happy Sabbath my friend 😊
I’m SDA too!! Love seeing non SDAs keeping the real Sabbath!!
Me too!
Same! :)
SDA heree:)
My husband and I own a restaurant and we closed on sundays so we and our workers can go to church, and the Lord has blessed us!! Most of our costumers wants us to open on Sunday but we are putting God first 🥰
Sabbath is sundown Friday to Saturday sundown. It's not Sunday. Trust me ive been there but I've done my research. If you want to know more go to pastor Charles Dowell.
@@all_things_sisraquelwhy does it matter what day
Hi! The Lord God established the 7th day Sabbath at creation, and we will continue to celebrate the seventh-day Sabbath in Heaven.
We receive a special blessing by honoring and keeping holy the day He set aside. Try it out & see how He blesses you!!
Why can’t it be on a Sunday ?
@@celia7501it’s was Saturday but changed to a Sunday when Jesus rose again 🥰
I'm Christian and I grew up keeping the Sabbath. Now I keep the Sabbath with my own family. We attend service on Saturday and we rest from everything on Sabbath. No chores, no activities, no screens, just spending time with the L-d and reading scripture, singing worship songs. It's beautiful. My husband cooks the Friday night dinner. We have a special lunch after the Saturday service and I will prepare a dessert before sunset on Friday for that lunch on Saturday. It is such a blessing 🙏🏻
Me too❤
Why did you put a dash between the L and D for the Lord?
I am Jewish and grew up observing Shabbat. My Husband and I have a 4 year old daughter and find it so important for our family unit that we observe Shabbat every Friday night. My Israeli father in law always cooks a large delicious meal, we have Challah, kosher wine, say prayers, and spend quality family time together. Such a special part of our entire week!
As a Jew, I love to see this. Christianity and Judaism is so similar 💕 thank you for bringing light to such a holy topic
“Christianity” has lost its way - the Anointed fulfills prophecy, not replaces. He fulfills Passover as the high priest who delivers His people into the final promised land of heaven, Firstfruits as the blessed firstborn (Psalm 110), and eventually fulfilling the Lord’s Day of Judgment as described in the prophets - Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles to rule the new heaven and earth. Daniel describes that in 490 years the Anointed will warn Israel before a second destruction and elimination of the temple with sacrifices for 2,300 years. I believe Yeshua reigned in a 1k year kingdom of heaven as prophesies, and the second judgement will take place 1.3k years afterwards. Hope this was interesting! Shalom ❤
I never expected it to be, but I think this may be one of my top favorite videos of all time from you ♥️ your pure joy talking about this is so inspiring and makes me want to pray pray pray that the Lord help guide my husband and I so that one day we can implement sabbath days and the dinners! What a beautiful thing that’s so overlooked nowadays, just inviting people familiar AND new into your home to have beautiful meaningful conversation! You are the best big sister I’ve never had! Thank you for always sharing how God guides you and your family ♥️
"I genuinely think that the world can change one meal at a time." This literally gave me goosebumps! It made me think of the different times I've watched and witnessed my own life & the lives of others change & transform around the dinner table for the Kingdom of God. I LOVE that you use your Shabbats to invite others in to build lasting and powerful community!
I was born into a Seventh Day Adventist family and I’ve always loved it. We have vesper Friday nights where we get together to enter Sabbath and go to church on Saturday. I miss my family since they’re now overseas but having my church family is always a win. 🕊️✨
I’m a Seventh-day Adventist too! It’s always a blessing to observe the Sabbath. 🙏
I love how you and your husband model biblical principles in your everyday life. this is amazing.
My kids are the fourth generation in my family to observe the seventh day sabbath. It has been such a blessing! ❤ Thank you for this beautiful video.
This video was everything I needed! Hosting our first Shabbat Dinner tomorrow night! So excited. :D
How did it go? Congratulations ❤
I'm so happy that you are keeping the shabbat , almost 3 yrs ago as a Christian the Holy Spirit convicted me , I was worried of how my husband will react but I'm so glad that He was on board, my children love it from day 1. We also attend church on Sunday.
Such a beautiful setting 🤎
Thank you for being so raw and real it's so refreshing! God bless everyone reading this!🫶
and may god bless you too. 🤍
"The world is changed one meal at a time." WOW yes x1000 i could not agree more. The Lord gave us the dinner table to be witnesses to Him and share in His love with others through food and fellowship. God bless your shabbats always sweet Milena ❤
I’m an SDA and I remember as a kid dreading sabbath but now I can’t imagine living life without it.
Me too! I’ve been an Adventist my entire life and sometimes I think we take it for granted and forget that the Sabbath is truly a CELEBRATION and a joy! I love having a day where I don’t have to worry about cooking or cleaning or work and just rest from my usual weekly activities. I couldn’t imagine my life without Sabbath.
Same here! I seriously look forward to it every week now at 22 years old, when I used to dread it up to when I was maybe 17. It's such a blessing. 🤍
I’m also SDA. I definitely appreciate the Sabbath sooo much more as an adult. I can’t imagine going hard 24/7. God knew we needed rest! ❤
Me too! For me, the Sabbath is also the highlight of my week and it’s just so lovely going to church in the morning and spending the afternoon with my family. Greetings from Austria!
Amen! 🙏🏾
As a Messianic Jew this warms my heart so much. I don’t have words. It means the world to me to you do this when I’ve never known how to navigate Shabbat when none of my friends do it.
I’m Messianist too!!! It’s hard to find like-minded followers these days 🤗
@@sbragdon212 yeah I’ve actually never met another Messianist! You’re probably the first person I’ve ever met (virtually haha) who is. I guess because I’m Australian there was a lot of cultural assimilation even though we had heavy Jewish immigration and so I don’t even really know any other Jewish people. I don’t even love in a small country town or anything. Kind of sad tbh
I am too 🥺🙌🏼❤️ love finding people in our community because it’s so easy to feel alone in it!
Milena I love this so much! My husband and I have been craving a Christian “group” and we have had groups fall apart over and over, but the lay out u create for your family and friends on every Friday night as routine and a tradition is SO beautiful and you’re doing SUCH great work all for the glory of God! Welcoming people into your home and dining with them, sharing the Bible with them and praying and talking about your walks is so beautiful and a serious inspiration to me. This is a dream life I want to create in my own home too. Sharing it with different people each time too is just so Christ like and awesome! Love u guys
I'm seventh day adventist and we keep the Sabbath too - Happy Sabbath! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love all the dress you have been wearing. So simple yet classy and look so comfy.
thank you so much 🤍 they truly are SO comfy!!
where is it from
Thank you for sharing!!!!! My family practice sabbath Friday sun down to Saturday sun down and it’s so refreshing to see others enjoying rest as well. 😊
I just want to encourage you, Milena, it's amazing that you started observing Shabbat! We've been doing this in our home for about 7 years and the Lord has really used it to bless us. It is amazing to spend the whole day with Him. Even though we're not perfect, I'm so glad for celebrating Shabbat. Just as you said, there is joy and peace in it, it is something that the Lord intended for us. It is so sad for me that some people see it as a "law" thing when actually there is so much freedom in it. Glory to Yeshua ❤️
Hi, I’m a seventh day Adventist and we keep the sabbath as God did after creation from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown as well. We go to church on Saturday instead of Sunday, & we also make a special lunch meal on Saturdays and make it a special day for our families. Fridays evening are always so relaxing and beautiful to just start the rest day. My little one (4 years old) even now always looks forward to Sabbath because it’s literally the best day of the week (& we intentionally make it so). So happy so see you keeping it as well :) it’s such a blessing to our family and I’m sure it is to yours as well! Beautiful memories being made that our kids can look back to as well ❤
Amen! Happiest of Sabbath dear. Enjoy your Sabbath today 💝
Hi! SDA here too! Also have a four year old who is excited about sabbath every week!
SDA here too!!🙋🏻♀️
Me too!!!
Me too! Such a beautiful and blessed day 💕✨🌸
growing up i had Shabbat dinners with my Jewish friends, now as a follower of Yeshua Messiah our family observers the sabbath as well! i love seeing you grow as a follower of Christ. my husband and i have been on this journey of Torah observance for 3 years now. It is such a blessing to see others following the ancient paths as well, and walking as our Messiah walked. May Yah (God) continue to bless you and your family, Milena!
Milena, thank you so much for this. I've learned that taking a sabbath is very important for me, and learning about your family's traditions is so inspiring for keeping Jesus at the center of my sabbath.
Thank you Milena for openly sharing what the Lord is leading you in and encouraging other’s to faithfully walk in obedience to what He is calling them to individually. You are a blessing to me and my journey with the Lord!
Melina you're so inspirational. I absolutely love this. Thank you for your uploads, thank you for taking the time to vlog these videos. As someone who don't have much persons to look up to as a christian you've filled that gap for me. Thank you so much.
Soo inspirational!!🙏🏼 in Germany we actually have our rest day on Sunday. Everything is closed, except some restaurants or gas stations. You have to get groceries the day before. I love this because it makes it easier to rest on this day. You have to take it slow. We go to church in the morning and it feels always like a celebration. After that we mostly eat something nice like barbecue, sometimes we order food to rest from cooking and then we try to do family and quality time without phones or tv. Often we will have guests or be at someone’s house to built community. It makes such a difference!
but so many people in Germany don’t unterstand that Christian tradition and fight for everything to be open every day in the week.
hallo from a fellow german. I agree with you, i love the feeling of sundays in germany. Also when people go hiking, just walking in nature and going to the cemetry on sunday. I‘m 23 years old and with every year i appreciate our sundays more. Like you said, there are people who dont seem to understand and appreciate our sundays. I think a lot of people dont understand when they are younger and think shops being closed is bad. I also have an italian friend who always complains that she can go shopping on sundays in italia when she is there for vacation and „terrible“ germany doesnt let her. I think it would really help society when we remind others why we rest and spend time with loved ones and the lord on sundays.
Same in Poland! I think it's the same in most Europe because of it's strong Christian-Catholic influence and history. It became a tradition that even non-Christian adopted
I've been doing my best to keep Sabbath since learning more about it a few years ago after learning the history of where things changed for Christians. I also keep it from Friday sundown and it was so cool to learn about how God defines the beginning and end of a day! But yes, regardless of when people decide to do it, we need to have a day truly for the Lord and rest 🙏 bless you sis for sharing ❤
Thanks for talking and sharing about this topic. And showing how this looks in your household ❤
Wow Milena I’m in awe you have mature a lot sister and I’m so proud of you.
I used to do Shabbat and my son still asks me to do it and watching this video has made me wanting to do it again ❤
Love to see it ❤ I grew up keeping the sabbath day from friday night to Saturday night. My husband and I both are teaching our kids , we do the candle lighting prayer, bread, wine, and pray over our kids, so far and recite other prayers. Our oldest is almost 3 and he always does the prayers with us as well as blow his toddler shofar 💕
This is so beautiful and the growth in you is absolutely beautiful to watch. I can't wait to implement this. I went to shabbat a while ago and knew it was want I wanted to do with our family/friends! This is motivation to do it!
This was great ! Such a blessing! I suggested to my husband for us to start a sabbath as a family! I love your advice on how to include our children! And how to give ourselves permission to rest esp with small kids
This is so special! I also keep the Sabbath and it's always a blessing! I can't wait to practice this with my future family some day!
Thank you so much for sharing your preparation for Shabbat as I have always followed the Sabbath with my church but sometimes I still don't always feel rested but it just really reminded me to take time out and strip it all back to basics. Thank you so much my sister in Christ Jesus. God bless x
Thankyou for this video. Im also a Torah and Sabbath observing Yashua Ha Moschiah follower. We make our Sabbath special by lighting candles and saying the Shabbat prayer in Hebrew and also English. Im stoked to see other Yashua followers doing this. We are all grafted into the seed of Abraham.
you have truly encouraged me to incorporate this into our lives and schedule! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable!
I love this! I love how you are teaching as well as showing others. I will definitely be implementing this into my household.
My family and I have been keeping the Sabbath for 5 years and we love it so much! I love having a peek into your prep day, it’s so beautiful!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I want to try doing this after hearing what you all do as a family and how much joy it brings you all :)
Amazing to see this! My husband and I also do Shabbat as true Christians and do something extremely similar. I’m happy to see another Christian doing this. I am a Messianist = bible follower and believer that God says what He means and means what He says from Genesis to Revelation. Shabbat is included in this based on the 4th commandment to “Remember My Sabbath”. God gave Sabbath for man to rest in Him. I take this seriously because God does. Wow, thank you Jesus for paying off my debt! I am so incredibly grateful yet undeserving of this amazing gift of eternal life! 🙌 ❤
I love your content and your inspirational ❤ videos 🎉
I have been keeping the Shabbat all my life from Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset ☺️🙌🏼 And I love seeing you talk about this. The Lord is working in all of us and I am going to take notes on how to set up specifically my meals and make them more special. We are always learning 😊❤
This is the best thing Ive seen on youtube in quite a while! Thanks for inspiring us all 🙏
This brings me joy and happiness to see!!! Thank you!!!! I would love for you to pray for me and my family! We are going through it lately intercessory prayers would be a blessing!!!!! Thank you!
In Germany on Sunday all the stores are closed and people are not working. I love it so much! Sundays are just the best thing. Every thing just slows down and prepares you for the next week. ♥️
This is so beautiful milena! And convicting! My family has been so busy lately & we’ve all be feeling it negatively. I’d love to start doing something like this
Ahh Milena! I love this so much and I’m so obsessed with your content! I love how you make them for these small moments and I love it so much! Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕
Excited to watch this during baby’s nap time!
This is absolutely beautiful and the biggest blessing- I have been praying for this video to get a visual of sabbath! Thank you ❤
Thank you sister for sharing. I think it is beautiful how your family is honoring the Lord. I have found that keeping the day of rest how good i feel and then when i start the first day of the week we go to church what a great way to end and start a new week . We start and end with the Lord our God.
This was absolutely beautiful!! Unfortunately, my husband is not christian and I can't have this experience 😭. Please keep my husband in your prayers and that one day he may see the Lord and we can celebrate as a family Sabbath day.
Im in the same boat lovely. I will pray for your husband as well as mine that they would see the Lord and want to serve him. God Bless 🙏
Milena!! You’re a blessing to my life! Thank you for sharing!!
I simply love your channel! I love how your glorify the Lord with your channel !! So thankful for your example .. I am trying to learn how to incorporate more on my channel. Continue to stand FIRM and be BOLD in your lifestyle❤ peace be with you !
I'd love a list of all the meals you serve that you're able to prepare the day before and serve easily the next evening.
I can see how much joy you have in explaining all of this, I absolutely love it! I want to try and do this with my family but my fiancé and I live separately and one side of the family is a little more difficult to wrangle than the other haha
Yes! Love my 7th day rest! 💕
We just take the day to chill, maybe go to the beach or just hang out at home.
It truly is a blessing!
God is all powerful and doesnt have humanly qualities like getting tired. So that is purely not true that he needed a rest.
@@busrayalavac um….. I never said He needed to rest. I said I enjoy my rest.
Milena! I had tears in my eyes listening to you talk about being invited into someone else’s home to experience their family Shabbat. I think that is so beautiful and how God meant it for family and community.
Your passion and sensitivity towards listening to the Holy Spirit is inspiring. Your voice in sharing all you have been doing in your faith is much needed by lots of people. I appreciate you being bold and sharing these topics and giving us a glimpse into your spiritual journey. God has placed you here and spoken into your life to be able to speak to others for such a time as this! Thank you Milena!
Christ-follower here (not Jewish) and my husband and I have been practicing biblical (OT & NT) Sabbath since 2017! Last year, we started observing the biblical feasts too and it's been so transformative. I am continually amazed at how white-washed our way of following Jesus has become in the West and love going back to the Bible and learning about my Rabbi and His ways! I highly recommend the following resources: any Sabbath-related podcast episodes from John Mark Comer and the book "Subversive Sabbath: The Surprising Power of Rest in a Nonstop World" by A.J. Swoboda. Also, Shabbat in Your Home from Paul Wilbur Ministries here on UA-cam is helpful. Shalom to everyone on their faith journey!
Yesss! Super agreed the Lord's patience, love and mercy to us is beyooonndd! Like whoa! Praise the Lord! 🥹🥹🤍🤍
In Europe sunday is considered the seventh day of the week and in Germany every single shop or store is closed on Sundays and the Citys are really quiet and I have to say, I enjoy it a lot. There is also this tradition of a long sunday breakfast and a sunday walk after lunchtime for a lot of families. It really is a special day and businesses have tried for a loooong time to change this but the church has always come through so far.
Interesting! I didn’t know Europe uses a different calendar with Sunday as the seventh day and Monday as the first day.
I love your content lately Milena! So thankful for your ministry! ❤
We keep the sabbath too 💕 such a blessing
My family is celebrating Shabbat too. We do ours Saturday evening through Sunday evening since my husband has off work on Sundays. 🤍 on the 8th we’re having my family over. Shabbot Shalom
Would love to see a look book or another fashion related video from you! Obsessed with your new style. Modestly is such a beautiful thing!
No because I loved the entire outfit today❤
SO happy you made this video. I so badly want this for my family❤
This is so good! Keep doing videos like this please! The Lord has been teaching me so much and working so much in my heart this past year and watching your videos has aligned with everything he was spreading telling me so well! My hunger for scripture is louder than ever before and I litterally feel Jesus’s hand on my life!
He was already telling me*
This is great! I'm a Jewish believer in Jesus/Yeshua and it's great knowing more and more believers in Jesus/Yeshua are starting to have Shabbat. I definitely agree with doing things that bring you joy, such as the things you've mentioned jogging and knitting. I personally paint or draw during Shabbat. Challah is obviously also amazing too! :)
hello dear. I‘m from the southwest in germany and here it is by law that sunday all shops are closed and nobody works (beside people like nurses ofc). So we celebrate sabbath on sunday and also partly on saturday with not working on that day aswell
This is so beautiful to see! Definitely my sign to start resting on sabbath. Such a blessing🤍
Milena I'm SO amazed by what the Lord has done through the years in you and your heart and in your walk with Him! Your life is a TRUE testimony of sanctification! Thank you Lord for being able to witness that and wait on Him to be transformed as we chase after Him every day! Be blessed sister
This video was very well done. Good job Milena!👏🏼
This video was so good and been asking god about it and watching videos but people was saying it wasn’t a big deal so i brush it off but was always think about it when Saturday past by and this video confirmed the questions I was having so I’m happy I started sabbath as 19 yr old & I can’t wait to see its fruit as I get older it was so nice and beautiful to know that I’m getting all out of this life that Jesus paid the price so I can get and so excited to have this wisdom to add into motherhood and being wife when that happens🎉
✨Happy Sabbath ✨
Thank you so sharing such an intimate piece of your family ❤
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I can’t believe this video has been up for 9 months and I’m just now seeing it. Thank you for posting on your insta story! I needed it today. I grew up keeping the Sabbath but it was in a very legalistic way. I lost my touch with it and when I went to college I fell in love with it again (but still viewed it in a very legalistic manner) just recently my husband and I have been feeling called back to it but I’ve struggled at not being legalistic about. Jesus has broken some chains for sure already but I still had some mindset that didn’t allow me to really dive deep into my Sabbath.
So, all that to say thank you. Thank you for making this video. I had been wondering about your Sabbath and I am definitely very inspired now to keep the Sabbath in a manner that honors God.
Milena, you’re so pretty… also I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing ❤
Over here in Germany, everything is closed down in Sundays and celebrate a "family day" often time with special food. It's always been my favorite day of the week.
I love that you have the Polaroid camera, such an awesome idea!
You can use a diffuser & use a calming scent like “santal” or maybe even “frankincense & myrrh” those are calming scents i like to use
This is beautiful, my husband and I have been wanting to really observe a sabbatical in our family. Thank you for sharing this!
This video was a joy to watch. Beautiful, just beautiful xx
I am a 7 day Adventist Christian and sabbath is such a blessing ♥️
Oh how I definitely want to do this when I have a family one day! 🥰
I am heavily inspired by you! Thank you for sharing your faith, traditions, love & reverence for the Lord. I literately tear up thinking about how my big family will adapt to many of these Godly ideas. Thank you. Such an honor.
Loved your video especially the final thought was so much fun ❤️
This is so beautiful and I pray my family will feel the same way one day soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤ God bless you
I am so happy to see this!!!!
Shameyka Shabbat 🩷
thank you sharing the loveliness in keeping the Sabbath
Im glad i found your channel, thank you for sharing this ! Happy sabbath 😇😇
Truly a beautiful practice. Thank you for sharing such an intimate ritual
This is so beautiful, my husband and I have talked about starting to do this and incorporate having a sabbath 🤍
God bless you Milena!
Shalome Shalome 😊
Just beautiful. Thank you for this video!! 💗
Absolutely beautiful i'm excited to implement Sabbath again!
If I could like this video 1,000 times I would. This encourages me & convicts me to receive the blessing of rest!!
I love this!! 💛
Beautiful sharing Milena! Xx
Absolutely loved this informative video!
Hi Milena! I just finished your Esther bible study this morning and I just wanted to thank you! I’ve never had a bible study that actually made me look forward to reading the word everyday. Your notes were so helpful and it was so well written. Thank you thank you 💕
Such a light
