    Who else loves these recent videos that Milena is posting? Cause I definitely do. It’s like a free Bible study for me! We need more UA-camrs like Milena who show their real lives and who teach others about Gods word. 🙌🏼

    Milena, I have been a silent viewer of your videos for years. I thank God for the work He is doing through you and see the fruit of your relationship with Him. Thank you for blessing this community with quality Christ-centered content. And thank you for helping me in my walk with the Lord 💕 Praying for you and your ministry!

    Watching this and sobbing. I crave to cultivate a calm and loving home for my husband and children. I’m in a season of life that I feel constantly overstimulated, have a short fuse, yell a lot, cry a lot, and am overcome with constant guilt. I pray for a gentle and lowly spirit and am disappointed in myself daily. Thank you, Milena, for your encouragement. I hope one day I can look back and see my answered prayers.

      I love that you acknowledged that this is just the current season that you’re in, it’s not forever. I just came out of that season (hasn’t even been a full year), it was long and dark, just getting through each day to survive, but today I’ve found peace and joy again, and praise God I’m now thriving. I want you to know that God is with you even now and he will carry you through the other side. I don’t have my entire life together, still working in that but I’m content with where God has me right now.

    I have been struggling with the tone of my voice. I grew up in a household where my mom just yelled all the time. I hated it and now I find myself doing that much more than I would like and I am ashamed. I struggle with this every day. This really hit home for me, I will be praying for this. I want my kids to look back and remember me as a peacemaker, I loved this 💛

  • @racheladams8137
    @racheladams8137 Рік тому +24

    This vision of peace sounds a lot like control - dependent on our preferences and works. But true peace is available with those loud, battery-operated toys singing in the background. It’s available when siblings argue. It’s available when the house is a wreck and you’ve fallen behind on chores. It’s available when the stomach bug blows through the house and no one has slept and everyone has survived on popsicles and Top Ramen for days. It’s available when life falls apart and isn’t picture perfect… because peace isn’t a status achieved through our works. It’s the eternal state of our souls through the saving work of Jesus and the dwelling of the Spirit! Praise God! Some days you’ll feel the most peace with laundry piling up that you skipped to join a playdate, remnants of plastic towns built all over the floor, water splashed all over the bathroom from a pirate ship capsizing and the music cranked up for a post-dinner dance party. Just an encouragement to find your peace internally in Him and let that spill into the external, not the other way around ❤️

      So true! What I find difficult is the control I try and have over our home environment and the effort I put in to maintain our peace even in those messy situations. But I get very discouraged by my husband who is short tempered and every time we get to have family time with the kids he ends up either shouting, storming off or worse… I try and communicate with him peacefully coming from a place of love and care but it always ends with him calling we the nagging wife. The whole situation is very hurtful to me and our children. Please write if you have any advise for me ladies ❤ praying for us as well 🙏

      @elijasavova Tbh it isn’t an easy task. But trust God as He can make everything possible. I would just do my part the best I could showing that it is possible and worth doing things differently. Little by little he will see the benefits and will feel encouraged to try do the same. Meanwhile I would be praying for the husband’s heart, mind, habits… everything you can that may be causing him to react like that. Show him love and respect and I would definitely try my best at this: “if you have nothing good to say, better don’t say anything” ;) combined with trying to see him with God’s eyes!!!
      I’ll be praying for all of us moms. 🙏 God bless all moms!!

      True. I like all aspects Milena is talking about but I wanted to add to all of them „IF you (and your marriage/home) are emotionally healthy“. I would say that peace is at first a thing between me and Jesus. After that it is something that I experience when I (learn to) take good care of myself (my heart/feelings), then sth. my house experiences when my husband and I are communicating healthy, and then sth. we get when we care of the (emotional) wellbeing of our children.

    I am a stay at home mom at three. 6,4,1. As of right now I have NO rhythm or routine. I’m always overwhelmed, talking firm or yelling and feel a mess. I struggle with consistency and discipline and I feel a war within when I think about what I need to do better.. it’s hard to explain. BUT this homeschool year I choose to invite Holy Spirit and help me cultivate peace, love and a rhythm! I know it’s not going to be easy, but with his help it will be possible!!

    Trends are great, beauty tips and recommendations are all good, but this…THIS is priceless. Your demeanor and your Christlikeness and the information that you are giving is beautiful. Thank God for His good work in you and through you and your family. You have found a sweet spot. This is what you were made to do and the information that you were created to give! What a God given gift! Keep going!
    One of my 5 things that keeps me from peace is my emotions when feeling like my husband doesn’t consider me or the family In his decisions when he makes decisions for himself and what the kids see. I desire to put the Lord first and it sometimes can feel like we aren’t on the same page. Emotional responses are really what I’m working on.

    Lord knows I needed this. Ive had a sharp tongue lately with my toddler. Us wives set the rhythm and tone of our home. I once read a quote from Jonathan Helser that said "Live as if a dove dwells in your home, and you dont want to startle the dove away." Have a home where the dove can dwell and not fly away. Praying this over all of us today, our babies deserve it!

    @creativemama7287 Рік тому +11

    Milena…I’ve said this so many times but the lord truly talks to me thru you. I’m not even kidding everything that I’m going thru or struggling with, that same week you put out a video on that exact subject!!!! & I’m not talking about a video here & there, it’s all the time! God is so good.
    This past week has been hard tbh this whole month I feel like I’ve just been struggling & I get so mad at myself for allowing it to happen. I want to stand firm in my faith…I feel like one month things are great & then the next month I’m back to struggling again. It’s frustrating apologizing to my husband or my kids repeatedly for mommy being a jerk & yelling. I get overstimulated easy. I’m a stay at home mom, my husband works Monday thru Friday on occasion saturdays, & he does get home at a decent time but I have no community. My family & his family is so toxic, I have no help from my parents, his parents, my siblings. It’s hard. I have no friends. I just feel so isolated sometimes. Trying to clean the house, trying to take care of myself, teach my kids the right way to do things, raise them, be a good spouse. I just feel so overwhelmed & I feel like half the time im failing. & I know the enemy is in my head I just have a hard time sometimes doing what I should be doing…reading the word!
    Idk why I feel the need to say this but im a recovering addict. Almost 10 years sober, came from a very abusive household..physically & mentally. Screaming & yelling constantly, along with beatings. It’s just a lot & I refuse to have that with my kids. & whilst they aren’t gonna grow up in an abusive household or screaming constantly being talked down too walking on eggshells. Im 100% doing way better for them then how I grew up but sometimes on those days im overstimulated I yell & am angry. I feel terrible. Today was one of those days. All I want is peace.
    It’s so hard for me to not yell, be quite, be sweet, respectful to my husband, not cuss, not surrender (some days not all the time) I literally have diarrhea of the mouth. I’ve been like this my entire life & it’s so hard to change but I am trying daily. Just fail sometimes.
    I currently am getting rid of things b/c I realize we have entirely too much stuff & im over it. It overwhelms me. I feel like I have too many projects going on that never get fully finished b/c I’m a busy mom with no help so those things get pushed aside. I love crafting but haven’t done it in a year, I feel like I have too much of it. I’m just so ready to downsize all of it. I just purged my kids room. Mine is next!
    I really am trying everyday to become a better wife, a better mother…lean on the lord more than I already am & read his word more than once a day. I’ve just been so exhausted & overwhelmed this month. For whatever reason.
    Idk why I just went on that long rant, to vent I guess. Idk but this video milena made my cry. It was god speaking to me again. I loved this video so so so much. I love watching the Holy Spirit move thru you, & me & all the other ppl your helping. It’s just amazing. I really needed this. Thank you milena for sharing gods word over & over. ♥️

    I pray every day for peace, grace, and patience… I feel like the main reason is that I am pouring from an empty cup. I don’t get much help with anything in the house and I haven’t gone and had any me time to just breathe and do something I enjoy.. I’m struggling to think of any other reason. I try so hard to be a good and Godly wife and mother. I’m not here to bash my husband, but 9/10 I hear passive aggressive, or sarcastic comments so hearing the compliment 1/10 doesn’t really do anything and I am so weary. I am so passionate about this and am trying to hard to raise my 2 baby boys and future children in a Godly, peaceful, and joyful home, but I feel like I fail every day. But I still wake up and try every day! Thank you Milena for these last several videos. You’ll never know how impactful and powerful they have been!!

I find peace in simplifying my routines and keeping my home minimal and simplified- especially the kitchen! I love to have my home picked up + calm, sweet music playing when my husband comes home from work so we can enjoy our evening together as a family without stressors surrounding us!

    Things that steal the peace in my home:
    1) the tv - it’s on WAY too much
    2) me not having a plan for the day - defaulting to tv
    3) being on my phone instead of with the kids or atleast doing something that brings my head back into the moment and into my home
    4) snapping at my children (which, come to think of it #1-3 all contribute to this happening more often)
    5) snapping at my husband

    I wrote my list of 5 things right when you said to and I paused the video to do so. I continued writing notes the entire time with things you said and things that I need reminders of. The first thing on my list was “I don’t control my words like I should” and the rest of the video was talking about taming the tongue, backed by scripture. This was exactly the encouragement I needed because that is where I struggle the most in my relationships and it is something that has been brought up in my couples counseling many times, which has been overwhelming. I’m just very thankful for this encouragement and it’s something I can use to improve my walk with the Lord and the peace in my home/relationship.

    Hello Milena, as an average Australian girl in her twenties, I am not very religious, nor is my partner. If anything, I am more religious than him. But the strange thing is, ever since we moved into the small 3 bedroom Australian house that we call home, I have had a strong sense of direction towards Christ in a way. I keep seeing, hearing and reading things to do with being the keeper of the home, and I cannot help but feel like it’s a sign. When I was younger, I used to want a lavish job, making lots of money in my huge house. However, now I am happy in our home and I want to stay here for quite a long time, I feel as though we are meant for this home. So, I have had these nagging feelings about cultivating peace within the home and decluttering and I cannot think but feel like that’s my role on Earth. I love looking after my home, my partner and our fur babies. Thanks to you, I have definitely opened up much more to the idea of the lord, and even though you most likely won’t see this, I still just want to say thankyou. Thankyou for speaking on these things, and not just for what you’re saying but for how you express it. You express these views in such a calm and guiding way, it makes me feel so welcomed and seen.

    Your video is the answer to my prayers. I watched similar videos that sent me into a spiral of shame and self pity. But you give me hope, make me excited to improve the state of my home. And you make it seem possible. Thank you so much.

    I love this video style!!!!! I learned so much scripture through this. I’m an unmarried woman but I feel even as I live alone it’s important for me to be mindful of the peace of my home. Because the peace emanating from me permeates my space and when people step into my space they sense that! Thank you for this. I pray to one day implement this as a wife and mother!

    My testimony
    Hi I’m Diamond and I just wanted to share my little testimony. So yea I’m diamond and I’m 15 years old, but leading to who I am today has taken a lot of trials. One big thing is that I am the youngest in the family so I never grew up with cousins which had an effect since I was little on my loneliness. In school I had a hard time with people and the girls at the school. So I had no friends. I remember at recess I would just sit on the wall and wait to go in. Or my grandma or mom used to pick me up as much as Possible during lunch so I didn’t have to go to lunch. My 6th grade I was never at school and dreaded going everyday. My school experience Weighed on my mental health so much. That’s when I started has no confidence and disliking who I was. Then 2 years ago I started developing my eating disorder. I always disliked how j looked compared to other girls but this time I decided I was going to make a change. It started off slowly and I allowed myself to still have my favorite foods like chips. Then when I wasn’t seeing I change I started cutting more. Everyday 2 years ago when I would get to my grandmas house I would weight myself and then eat breakfast and weight myself. I would see how much more food I would allow myself throughout the day before it would change the number on the scale. I was lightheaded every time I got up. Then I stopped with the scale. Recently for a year now I have an app that tracks my food and have been the most restrictive I now eat the same things everyday and only allow myself to have something “unhealthily” twice a month. I haven’t had chips in 2 years, pizza, spaghetti etc. I have a hard time sleeping at night, and how no energy everyday. I haven’t had a cycle in a year and have been told by the doctors I stopped my growth. I still struggle everyday and try to challenge myself. I’m the middle of all this I found Christ. On January 2nd 2023 I gave my life to Christ ever since then I have been saved and been living the best I have. I cannot lie to you and say I don’t still have anorexia but Christ never said when you come to him all your problems would go away. He has gotten me through my hard times and has challenged me. One night and I was very hungry and was panicking over eating two crackers and I just heard trust in me and after 20 mins I ate the two crackers and I was fine after. I used to cry when I ate something but now I don’t. My confidence in myself and being content with not having people has been fulfilled from Christ. I now have been in therapy and how identified the reasons behind what I have gone through. Christ has saved me in so many ways. Reading his word everyday has truly changed my life. I am now learning we’re to put my worries and fears. I just want to incourage you that whatever you are going through Christ will meet you were you are at. You will not stay at we’re he meets you because when you put your trust in him you will be renewed by him. It doesn’t mean overnight but I can testify that slowly things will change.

    Would looooooove a video on toys! I’m not a mother yet, but I know clutter and being overstimulated will prohibit peace in my home so would love any guidance on how to prevent that from happening. How you set that boundary with loving grandparents who want to spoil your kids with toys, how you shop for certain toys.. would be SOOO helpful for me! Thank you for this video!!! I just love your content so much. It’s been very fruitful in my life!

      My MIL is very generous but I also get incredibly overstimulated- so I’ve spoken to her many times and we’ve settled on this- she buys my daughter clothing and I’m in charge of her toys! Any toys grandma buys have to stay at grandmas! Grandma can buy one million toys but there will be one million toys at grandmas! When she is older we will probably ask for one age-appropriate, specific toy for birthday and Christmas!

I feel like my life currently is in complete chaos and this really convicted me about how I am responsible for my peace. Your are completely right when it comes to the fact of if something causes overstimulation then it needs to be eliminated. Really needed to hear this, thank you so much. J

    Milena, this is my absolute favorite video of yours! And let me just say, it really hit home for me. This has been my struggle - I'm a mother of 5, my home and the messes stress me out, I'm dealing with depression and anger issues. I can easily become overstimulated, and overwhelmed and its so hard to deal with. I raise my voice too much, my tongue certainly isn't speaking life into my family, and im not cultivating peace in my home the way I should/could be as a fellow Christian. And I'm so ashamed. Your video has truly inspired me to dive deeper into what the LORD is calling me to be as the gate keeper to my home and family's lives. Thank you for your words of wisdom!

Your heart behind these videos are so pure and genuine and encourages me to aim to be a better mom. Thank for showing what it looks like to be set apart from the world as a UA-camr whose goal is to share the gospel and live for Christ. Also, I enjoyed this video with the voice over and I think the music as a background when you speaking is great and relaxing 😊

  • @zng3111
    @zng3111 Рік тому

    Thank God for this video and for the timing of it. I have been waking up in the mornings with God feeling so far and my heart and tongue feeling so far gone. The Lord established my family and I have felt like he hasn’t been willing to sustain it. I have sinfully resigned myself to being a destroyer of peace because I have resented the Lord not giving me the life circumstances that I think make peace possible. I have been denying that Jesus is enough with my attitude and my actions. At this time my husband and son and I share a small home with 5 other family members. I have been praying for the Lord to change my circumstances instead of praying for him to change me and my desperately wicked heart. This video and your Esther study are helping me to finally get my heart over the hump and be willing to serve and choose joy right where the Lord has me. I have been believing lies that I am fighting a lost battle, that there is nothing I can do to make a difference. I have let myself be complacent. I have thrown in the towel so many days. I am starting to see a light. I am becoming willing to fight with the armor of Christ and the Word against the dark; to contend for my family’s peace. I really pray that the Lord would give me the joy of the Lord and let his mercies feel new every single morning, that he would make me a woman who stops tearing her home life down and starts building it up. With that new light I am starting to see little steps forward, even if nothing externally were to change. Thanks Milena please keep sharing. ❤

    Milena,
    First I wanted to say thank you for this video! This was something I really needed as a wife and a mother of 2. Something I’ve been really struggling with is dealing with my children’s behaviors such as back talking/ not listening. My children’s ages are 3 1/2 yrs and 18 months old. My main goal is guidance on the proper way to handle these interactions and not being a “reacting” parent but more of a firm parent aiming more towards the “gentle” parenting style. If you could share any things you do as far as discipline, setting boundaries, and how you correct your child’s desire to not want to listen would be greatly appreciated. Your just an amazing mother and I strive to be like you and your such an inspiration when it comes to a wife and mother❤

    I’ve been having a hard time cultivating peace when it comes to order in my home.
    Context: I married in April and now stay home as a full time homemaker (praise the Lord this has always been my dream!). I’ve found myself on youtube and social media too much and doing the minimum cooking and cleaning in my home. My level of productivity is good enough for my husband but it’s not good enough for my internal peace and honesty towards the Lord (basically I read proverbs 31 and feel convicted). I’m learning that orderlyness is a HUGE aspect to peace in the home and am turning over a new leaf this week using to-do lists and scheduling tasks for each hour of my day :)
