This might seem off topic but the ONLY thing that has helped me see big changes in myself is fasting or completely cutting out social media/constant entertainment at my fingertips. I finally turned my phone onto a grayscale mode and it has physiologically changed my interest in using it. I don't crave using my phone at all. Within one day I started absolutely forgetting where it even was in the house. That along with only using my desktop to watch youtube etc. at specific times has erased much of my wasted time. I now cannot access any social media or entertainment on my phone at all and it has been this quieting and cleansing experience for my heart. I highly recommend if you want to make more space for the right things very quickly and to see dramatic changes.
That’s amazing! My iPhone broke like 2 years ago and the Lord just never prioritised getting it fixed or getting a new one in my heart so I’ve got an old Samsung for texting calling my family and my one friend and i constantly forget about my phone too! I got out walking my dog in the woods and don’t even realise I didn’t have it 🤣 I have an iPad and PC but I still don’t use them as much as I used my phone. God has definitely de-centered social media and entertainment in my life. I’m grateful for Him and I just wouldn’t have been able to do it without with let alone even wanted to do it, if it wasn’t for Him
Love love this!! I also love this translation of Proverbs 31:30 Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain,But a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised. When I read this almost a year ago it just hit me!! Every good thing that the proverbs 31 women represents is just fruit of her fearing the Lord!!! So if my heart position is reverently fearing my God then that will just be the fruit of my life.
I’ve been using the Bible recap plan and it’s been such a blessing to finally read the whole meta narrative of the Word and discover the overarching story God has to tell us. I think it’s especially important when the church takes so many verses out of context and misinterpret chapters and verses of the Bible, to know the full context of what God wants us to know.
I’m on day 66 and it has been such a blessing in my life as well! It has been a goal of mine to read the entire Bible and know God’s word for myself. I’ve tried many times and failed but this time I’m actually doing in AND enjoying it. I look forward to opening up and reading the Word every day now!
I started the Bible recap about 2 weeks ago too, and it has totally renewed my love for the Bible! It's my first time reading it all the way through and wow, have I been missing out on so much. Definitely guilty of just cherry picking verses and taking them out of context but now I know how dangerous that is!
I’ve been reading proverbs every morning for a couple weeks now and it’s been soooo edifying! It was nice to see you mention it here specifically for women :)
Would you be willing to do a video ( or two !) for older teen girls on how to answer the questions given them on what they want to do in life , college , living out on their own ; careers etc… when they want to follow God’s timing and hopefully be homemakers someday ? The pressure is real .
Even as a 25 year old mom with a 3 year old this would be so helpful!! People are starting to ask where I wanna work, now that she'll be in preschool 😬
I’m a 23 year old getting married this year! It wasn’t until the last couple years that I really developed the desire to be a stay at home mom! Regardless the Lord lead me to get my bachelors and then masters! Now I am working full-time and growing a side hustle I’m passionate about. My plan is to grow an online business that will bring in passive income to replace my current income. This will give me the freedom to be a stay at home mom and bring in income for my family. I’ll be able to work from home as much or little as needed depending on what our family needs in each season. All that to say! I would recommend having a plan! God will guide you. He knows the desire in your heart. Find a way to make money online and build passive income to ensure your dream of being a stay at home mom is possible and practical! Not every stay at home mom needs a side hustle but I also know moms whose dream was to be a SAHM and are still grinding in a 9-5 As for answering people’s questions be honest! “I want to be a stay at home mom! For now I’m working on ____” be productive in the waiting! Sooo many moms have been able to become stay at home moms through making money on social media just like Milena! You got this!
I saw this quote the other day that said “your flesh wants to take you to hell and is not even coming with you” and honestly this has helped me with temptations and relating to my friends who are not sure about their faith. In regards to me, I just remember this quote and think of how it seems like the ultimate betrayal of one’s self. To live this life indulging in the desires of one’s flesh only to be left, at the end of the day, with our souls, in our perfect bodies. I just imagine how sad it would make me if the friends and people I know who do not follow the Lord with all their heart, if they were to be sent to hell betrayed by their fleshly desires and not fully understand that this world and our time here is fleeting and what is ultimately important is serving the Lord. Not to leave the impression that I’m perfect. I by no means am, I struggle everyday. I kinda rambled but that’s what’s been on my heart recently
Always patiently waiting for your next upload❤ this channel has been such a blessing and inspiration for my journey with Jesus! Not a mama yet but my husband and I love listening to the pod and Ive personally been so blessed and encouraged to just see just a glimpse of your walk. Practically i have now started carrying around my Bible like my phone, turned the whole car around and went back when I forgot it at home the other day. Seemingly little but such a significant habit, thank you for sharing what you do😊
Your joy is so contagious. Thank you for sharing your positive affirmations about motherhood at the start of this video. So grateful and blessed for the baby that wants to be near me too❤️
I love this video thank you so much! I write poetry and one of my books is Proverbs 31 Girl This is a verse. She's faithful and she's honest And works hard to get things done With faith and trust in Jesus She won't fear the days to come God gets all the glory.
Thank you, Milena! To God be the glory! “A proverbs a day keeps the foolishness away”…truth! ✨ ~Interesting to me how often humility comes up in Proverbs. Thank you for the reminder, “She smiles!” I needed to hear this! 💖
That opening statement! I have been feeling this every single day and wrestling with myself when it comes to leaving my part time job and just fully becoming a wife and mom because I feel most at peace there. The craving is real!
Milena, you have such a beautiful and inspiring unconditional love for the Lord. It is so obvious that the Lord is sharing his message through your heart. Much love and appreciation for you always. 🕊💛
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just LOVE your videos about biblical womanhood, marriage and homemaking! Your channel and your IG are such a blessing for me. And you're such an ispiration!
I love you for this. Thank you for continuously allowing God to use you as a vessel. This mad me wants to dive more into scripture about femininity as a single woman and for my future marriage. This was so good, I watched this weeks ago but here again to rewatch and not down scriptures I may have missed. May God continue to bless and keep you 🙏🏾🫂
I'm constantly reminding myself to smile more as I go about my day around the house. My resting face is FAR FROM smiley, so it's something I'm working on, too 😅
This is so good Milena💕I just started reading 12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You and it’s been really really truthful & convicting about phone / screen habits as a Christian!
The conviction that came from this video !!!!! Thank you for sharing Gods word and making your videos a safe place that you don’t need to worry about what you will see/hear.
Such a beautiful video Mi. I spent more than 1 hour studying what you teach here. What a convicting word, the word of God has everything we need. I would love to see you create an e-book all around this topic. ❤ it’s so important to know who we are, and what is our calling as daughters of the living God, wifes, mothers. 😊 lots of love from Portugal 🇵🇹
"Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." Proverbs 13:24,25 I've been reading through Ecclesiastes. It's been so good. ❤❤❤ 0:32
I've been watching you for years since before Evangeline was born, love your content but I would be lying if I said I didn't miss your vlogs. But I understand you are growing in a different direction, and I will not stop watching. You are such a blessing much love 🙏🏼❤
I think smiling through something difficult is a tool to remind you how you are stronger than your problem and The Most High, the Adon, will bring you through. Be careful not to make an idols of speaking your mind or showing your feelings. I’m not saying that you “shouldn’t” at all but the effect of it does not always bring GOOD. A positive attitude is a best foot forward through any challenge. Many blessing of health and prosperity!
I love proverbs 1:20 iv been praying that verse over my life lately. “Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice.” Iv personally learned so much from other seasoned godly woman who speak out Gods truth in this world, whose live are set apart and different. Yes it may cause disruption or “confrontation” because they are living out what God calls us to do and that most of the time looks different from the world. God says we will be persecuted for following him. So for me it’s been an encouraging verse to step out and be bold in my faith. To talk and share about what God is teaching me, because the world is trying to scream not praiseworthy or glorifying to God things to us and our children so we need to speak out and continue or begin these conversation that the world needs to hear. Hope that makes sense!
Milena, I deleted YT because I found myself wasting time here, but I was feeling discouraged today, so I redownloaded just to see if you had a video and wow Gods truth is on your lips and it just what I needed to hear! Love you sister 💕 praying for you
WOW! Thank you so much for this video! Very convicting! May our hearts and minds be renewed continually through Gods Word! & may that renewal of our hearts and minds reflected through our obedience & our actions! 🙏🏿♡
Please don’t ever stop uploading. Your vids are so encouraging. I was in a little slump with my faith but you have encouraged me and reminded me of the joy of the lord. Thank you and praise God xxx
Hi Milena! I really enjoyed this episode! Thank you for sharing with us tips and verses of biblical womanhood. I was also wondering if it is possible, if you could make a video dedicated to your thoughts concerning how you hated being a woman a few years ago and seeing how your husband didnt have to go through any changes as a man. I wanted to know how you changed your mindset and how the Lord lead you to embracing your body and just everything a woman goes through compared to men. I hope this makes sense. Blessings to you and your ministry!!😊
I was convicted of the music, movies and books I owned and used as my entertainment. I feel so much better now that I’m very careful about what I see, hear, read. 🙌❤️ Yes I’m very much emotional person. My mom always called it sensitive. I pray for God to shut my mouth so much. My mom always said I was a little too bold. Can you tell I’m grieving my mom? Thank you so much for this video. You have given me so much to strive for! 🩷
SO ever since you pointed it out on how to be thankful for being able to clean and wash dishes and stuff. I am more mindful of making sure I’m grateful for that but also happy for that so thank you for this. I love this video so much , Milena!🫶🏼💖
Thank you so much for this video! It blessed me and I am going to use this as a base for a Young Woman's Workshop that I want to do with the youth of my church! 💖
I know it is more work for you, but if you have time, listing the verses you discuss in the video in the description would be super helpful for reference. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouragement ❤
What denomination are you Milena? I just converted to Orthodoxy after being raised Baptist. I see so much truth in the videos you share. I think I stumbled upon you looking for clothing videos, then fell in love with your other content and it’s helped me on this journey to finally finding God. I’ve never wanted kids my entire life, but God has changed me completely (and my husband) and now we’re open to and excited to potentially have a child. You’ve encouraged me in the idea of motherhood as well
I just truly think you are SO lovely. Everything about you!! Thank you for your example. Over the years, it has continually spurred me on to be a better, more Godly wife & mom. Thank you for sharing your life & beauty with us!
If this channel turned into solely Bible study lessons I wouldn’t be mad. You’ve been given so much wisdom to share even when I don’t want to hear it 😅
Milena, you are the kind of woman many aspire to be. You are so anointed by God and His light radiates through you. Keep being faithful to our Father. He will continue to bless you ❤
I think another thing when it comes to being quiet or holding our tongue can also include , not interrupting when people speak. Let them talk and say how they view things or how they disagree with you without getting upset and interrupting them. Or really listening. I’ve struggled in this area in my marriage. If I think I know what my husband is going to say there’s been times I haven’t even let him finish because I’m like “no I already know what you’ll say” and don’t even hear him out . Or sometimes I do hear him talk but I’m not soaking in how he feels or sees the situation because I’m just upset he’s not understanding me and seeing it my way. So I’m just angry hearing him talk.. that’s something I have really struggled with
Can you give us some verses that say I don’t have to answer before the lord for anything other than submission? I use to believe this way and I found it very harmful for my spiritual health. Knowing God wants a relationship with me and there is no middle man between us has been so freeing.
Please pray for my sister Lily! She recently heard the gospel and got more curious about God, I pray she gives her life to Jesus! So we may be an example of Jesus for my entire family!
Hi Milena. Thank you so much for your ministry on UA-cam ❤️ it’s only been a few weeks since I’ve found your channel and you and Jordan’s podcast but has done wonders for my mindset and my marriage. It really woke me up from being a lukewarm Christian and to get serious about Jesus. The Holy Spirit has been working in me and giving me a new heart and new passion for His word. Praying everyday that my husband will come to know Christ too. We also have toddlers and pregnant with our third :) Wanted to ask if you would do a video or talk on ungodly friendships and how to share the gospel with someone that you previously were walking in sin with, how to set boundaries etc. thanks again! ❤️
Milena 🤎 What religion are you? I am Traditional Catholic and see similarities on what we believe. Thank you for sharing how good God is. Congratulations on your family 💙
She is most likely a Protestant christian- although keep in mind many protestants don’t know they are protestant. When I was evangelical I thought Catholics were not christian. Of course I don’t believe that anymore after researching and studying church history :)
Milena, have you studied 1 Corinthians? Recently the Lord has really convicted me about covering my head. The scriptures say for believing women to wear a covering on their heads as a symbol of submission to their husbands and God's lordship over them. Wondering if you've contemplated this before 💖
I was praying for a video like this because I have a struggle with my gender. In my thoughts it is always exhausting to be a woman. The period, pregnancy, the birth, the season after birth, the weaker vessel. 😑 I really need some encouraging words and videos to solve this problem. I am in prayer for a long time because of this and some things have changed, but I still see the woman as disadvantaged. When I think about building a family I don't want to be the woman.... The imagination of this scares me and I sometimes feel like being in a prison. Even if I know my thoughts are wrong it comes back over and over again. This is just how I feel, I am in christ since 2019 and never had a problem with my gender before. I don't know the reason.... God bless you all ❤
Just read a book called “Twelve Extraordinary Women” by John MacArthur. Absolutely incredible biblical study on twelve women in the Bible. So encouraging and helped reroute my focus and learn the role of women that God originally created. Highly highly recommend
Hi, could you girls please pray for me? Currently im finishing my study to become a teacher. I want to volunteer somewhere on the earth to make a difference in someones life and helping in spreading the Gospel and Gods Kingdom. But im full of doubt: is this what God wants? Why am i full of doubt? Is the devil doing his job with filling me with doubt or is it God telling me not to go? I want to make the right decision. There are several volunteer opportunities. I dont know wich one to choose. One is Christian and one isnt. One is at a primary school and i am a teacher, one is different kind of projects. Please, could you pray for me??
Loved all of this! My favourite part was the last (or close to last) verse you shared about not being a leaky faucet to your husband. And then you personally added that you want to be a crown to him instead- LOVED THIS SO MUCH. Even though I praise my husband a lot, I find I’m often pointing out all the things he doesn’t do which he’s shared stands out so much more than the praise (I’m sure we can all agree we feel the exact same 😆) so I love the idea of going to the Lord with whatever problem or tiny little issue it is first and let him do the heavy lifting/ground work and just being a crown and encouragement to my husband instead. Thanks for the encouragement sis 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Milena, I love your videos so much and it’s been wonderful to hear your wisdom and observe your transformation over the last year. You are inspiring to young wives like me! I am curious if you have ever considered the Catholic Church before, considering how much scripture you consume. Have you studied to early church fathers? As a Catholic, we hope to see unity across all Christians one day and wish to see everyone enter back into the folds of the church.
Everyone needs to read She Deserves Better by Shiela Wray Gregoire. It is extremely well researched and biblically based. It really goes into why messages like this can be so dangerous. Specifically around submission and purity culture
Hi everyone, In a video Milena mentioned a book about biblical sex, does anybody remember the book? I am really trying to unlearn the world’s views on this topic and relearn the Christian perspective.
Not sure which book she’s mentioned, but one book that I found beyond helpful was Hooked: The Brain Science on How Casual Sex Affects Human Development by Joe Mclhaney and Freda McKissic Bush. It’s not Christian but literally the science proves the Bible’s perspective is what’s best for us!🙌🏼 blew my mind, only 4 hour listen on audible!
I think it’s important to note that we can’t block all evil from our senses. We live in a fallen world. Sin is abundant all around us, especially online (no matter what kind of limits, etc. you put on it). We are bound to see, or hear something that is not good. I think it more so comes down to dwelling on the evil. In our personal time do we dwell on these things that we see and hear? I think so much of my life I have spent trying to block myself from evil. When in turn, I should be, like you had mentioned about the proverbs woman, rooted in God’s Word and thus not in a place to be swept away by these things. We guard our hearts to not go into the temptations presented all around us. We don’t allow the evil into our hearts, and then pour out of us. We rely on the Holy Spirit to keep us drawing nearer to God, and not the evil that is encompassing this world more and more, as we draw near the end of it. Do we really love God? Or are we in a place where if we consumed ____, we would be taken away from him? BIG heart check there.
A great summation: Do we see and hear the evil, and move on? Or do we see it and hear it and indulge in it bc we, in our hearts, really want that thing more than God? Prayer over these things is so key. God, uproot the desires of the flesh that do not align with the desires of your Spirit. Help me walk by the Spirit and not by my flesh; my passions and desires that lead me to sin. Keep me from the temptations I may not be able to bear.
I like the way that proverbs describes Jesus qualities and we can act and be like that because it's Jesus in our lives, and he is the one growing in us. I truly believe that it has to do with leaving our flesh "die" and let Jesus live and grow in us. It's not something that we can do with our strength but through Faith we believe that the Son is transforming ourselves because it's literally his life in our life.
When you have your period and if it’s painful what do you do on those days to rest and recover? If it’s not painful what do you do to remove the pain? My periods are very painful and I don’t know what to do besides lay in bed on those days
Maybe ask the Lord for something in nature 🌿🌱🍃 I am sure he created something to help us women. Maybe Alchemilla ( ladys mantel ) May god give you the right herb. God bless you ❤
Yes love that about a Proverb a day! The Lord encouraged me to make a video by reading a Proverb every single day on my channel and it has blessed me immensely!! 🕊️📖✝️🙏
That’s what I’m doing this month in addition to my other Bible Reading plan. I like to start the year with the books of Proverbs and now on the middle of the year.
This might seem off topic but the ONLY thing that has helped me see big changes in myself is fasting or completely cutting out social media/constant entertainment at my fingertips.
I finally turned my phone onto a grayscale mode and it has physiologically changed my interest in using it. I don't crave using my phone at all. Within one day I started absolutely forgetting where it even was in the house. That along with only using my desktop to watch youtube etc. at specific times has erased much of my wasted time.

Thanks, good idea! Just turned my phone to greyscale too!
100000% agree!!
That’s amazing! My iPhone broke like 2 years ago and the Lord just never prioritised getting it fixed or getting a new one in my heart so I’ve got an old Samsung for texting calling my family and my one friend and i constantly forget about my phone too!

God has definitely de-centered social media and entertainment in my life. I’m grateful for Him and I just wouldn’t have been able to do it without with let alone even wanted to do it, if it wasn’t for Him
I need to try that!
Love love this!! I also love this translation of Proverbs 31:30
Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain,But a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.
When I read this almost a year ago it just hit me!! Every good thing that the proverbs 31 women represents is just fruit of her fearing the Lord!!! So if my heart position is reverently fearing my God then that will just be the fruit of my life.
Amen.. so true.. The Spirit of God working through us.. Thay's why they are called the fruits of the Spirit.
Thank you for doing a Bible study! This is amazing letting the Bible speak for itself is so much more powerful than anything we could say
I’ve been using the Bible recap plan and it’s been such a blessing to finally read the whole meta narrative of the Word and discover the overarching story God has to tell us.

This is my second year doing it!!! I’m already planning on doing it next year again. Learning so much and love having a daily plan to follow 😊
I just wanted to say thank you for what you do. I adore your channel. You're a blessing to so many. 💛
I’ve been reading proverbs every morning for a couple weeks now and it’s been soooo edifying! It was nice to see you mention it here specifically for women :)
Would you be willing to do a video ( or two !) for older teen girls on how to answer the questions given them on what they want to do in life , college , living out on their own ; careers etc… when they want to follow God’s timing and hopefully be homemakers someday ? The pressure is real .
yes, she should!
Even as a 25 year old mom with a 3 year old this would be so helpful!! People are starting to ask where I wanna work, now that she'll be in preschool 😬
This would be an incredible video
I would say be honest :) you want to see what the Lord has plans cause He will ultimately allow you to find the path He wants you to go on!
I’m a 23 year old getting married this year! It wasn’t until the last couple years that I really developed the desire to be a stay at home mom! Regardless the Lord lead me to get my bachelors and then masters! Now I am working full-time and growing a side hustle I’m passionate about. My plan is to grow an online business that will bring in passive income to replace my current income. This will give me the freedom to be a stay at home mom and bring in income for my family. I’ll be able to work from home as much or little as needed depending on what our family needs in each season.

Find a way to make money online and build passive income to ensure your dream of being a stay at home mom is possible and practical!

As for answering people’s questions be honest! “I want to be a stay at home mom! For now I’m working on ____” be productive in the waiting! Sooo many moms have been able to become stay at home moms through making money on social media just like Milena! You got this!

I write poetry and one of my books is Proverbs 31 Girl
This is a verse.
She's faithful and she's honest
And works hard to get things done
With faith and trust in Jesus
She won't fear the days to come
God gets all the glory.
Thank you, Milena! To God be the glory! “A proverbs a day keeps the foolishness away”…truth! ✨ ~Interesting to me how often humility comes up in Proverbs. Thank you for the reminder, “She smiles!” I needed to hear this! 💖
I love that you make distinctions between what the world says versus the Word. So important to compare the two
Clicked soooo fast. Been blessed by your content! ❤❤❤
Yes!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“Where there is prayer there is power.”🙌🏾 Needed!
That opening statement! I have been feeling this every single day and wrestling with myself when it comes to leaving my part time job and just fully becoming a wife and mom because I feel most at peace there. The craving is real!
Milena, you have such a beautiful and inspiring unconditional love for the Lord. It is so obvious that the Lord is sharing his message through your heart. Much love and appreciation for you always. 🕊💛

Isn’t it being inauthentic to smile if you are going through something difficult? Genuinely seeking your insights
I think smiling through something difficult is a tool to remind you how you are stronger than your problem and The Most High, the Adon, will bring you through. Be careful not to make an idols of speaking your mind or showing your feelings. I’m not saying that you “shouldn’t” at all but the effect of it does not always bring GOOD.

AW! Such a precious little one!
Be blessed Milena, you are amazing! You are truly a woman of God. 🙏🏻🤍

To talk and share about what God is teaching me, because the world is trying to scream not praiseworthy or glorifying to God things to us and our children so we need to speak out and continue or begin these conversation that the world needs to hear. Hope that makes sense!
Yes!! A woman using her voice and making her opinion known is not wrong!
A Proverbs a day keeps foolishness away ...the most true est statement
I’ve been studying Proverbs this past month and it’s so great to hear you bring attention to what we as women can take away from it. Thanks Milena 🤍
Milena, I deleted YT because I found myself wasting time here, but I was feeling discouraged today, so I redownloaded just to see if you had a video and wow Gods truth is on your lips and it just what I needed to hear! Love you sister 💕 praying for you
WOW!
Thank you so much for this video!
Very convicting! May our hearts and minds be renewed continually through Gods Word! & may that renewal of our hearts and minds reflected through our obedience & our actions! 🙏🏿♡
Milena, God bless you! Thank you for being a Christian voice in social media, it is so refreshing seeing content like yours ❤
Coming back to this video tomorrow morning for my nap time coffee and Bible study 😊❤
Please don’t ever stop uploading. Your vids are so encouraging. I was in a little slump with my faith but you have encouraged me and reminded me of the joy of the lord. Thank you and praise God xxx
Love the colour of that baby carrier! Looks so good with your brown hair too 😍
Hi Milena! I really enjoyed this episode! Thank you for sharing with us tips and verses of biblical womanhood. I was also wondering if it is possible, if you could make a video dedicated to your thoughts concerning how you hated being a woman a few years ago and seeing how your husband didnt have to go through any changes as a man. I wanted to know how you changed your mindset and how the Lord lead you to embracing your body and just everything a woman goes through compared to men. I hope this makes sense. Blessings to you and your ministry!!😊
I was convicted of the music, movies and books I owned and used as my entertainment. I feel so much better now that I’m very careful about what I see, hear, read. 🙌❤️
Yes I’m very much emotional person. My mom always called it sensitive.
I pray for God to shut my mouth so much. My mom always said I was a little too bold.
Can you tell I’m grieving my mom?
Thank you so much for this video. You have given me so much to strive for! 🩷
Love the you mention Elizabeth Elliot. I’ve learned so much from her podcasts
Thank you Milena for the encouragement and for speaking about these very important issues!! ❤
SO ever since you pointed it out on how to be thankful for being able to clean and wash dishes and stuff. I am more mindful of making sure I’m grateful for that but also happy for that so thank you for this. I love this video so much , Milena!🫶🏼💖
Thank you so much for this video! It blessed me and I am going to use this as a base for a Young Woman's Workshop that I want to do with the youth of my church! 💖
I know it is more work for you, but if you have time, listing the verses you discuss in the video in the description would be super helpful for reference. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouragement ❤
I just love you Milena! Thank you for this encouragement ❤
What denomination are you Milena? I just converted to Orthodoxy after being raised Baptist. I see so much truth in the videos you share. I think I stumbled upon you looking for clothing videos, then fell in love with your other content and it’s helped me on this journey to finally finding God.
I’ve never wanted kids my entire life, but God has changed me completely (and my husband) and now we’re open to and excited to potentially have a child. You’ve encouraged me in the idea of motherhood as well
What a beautiful message! Thank you for your content and dedication to the Lord. It is such a blessing
I just truly think you are SO lovely. Everything about you!! Thank you for your example. Over the years, it has continually spurred me on to be a better, more Godly wife & mom. Thank you for sharing your life & beauty with us!
Oh how i love this women! I have always looked up to you since i was in middle school! Thank you milena🤍🙏🏽
If this channel turned into solely Bible study lessons I wouldn’t be mad. You’ve been given so much wisdom to share even when I don’t want to hear it 😅
Milena, you are the kind of woman many aspire to be. You are so anointed by God and His light radiates through you. Keep being faithful to our Father. He will continue to bless you ❤
Thank you for pouring this oily video! God bless you & keep you!
I think another thing when it comes to being quiet or holding our tongue can also include , not interrupting when people speak. Let them talk and say how they view things or how they disagree with you without getting upset and interrupting them. Or really listening. I’ve struggled in this area in my marriage. If I think I know what my husband is going to say there’s been times I haven’t even let him finish because I’m like “no I already know what you’ll say” and don’t even hear him out . Or sometimes I do hear him talk but I’m not soaking in how he feels or sees the situation because I’m just upset he’s not understanding me and seeing it my way. So I’m just angry hearing him talk.. that’s something I have really struggled with
Can you give us some verses that say I don’t have to answer before the lord for anything other than submission? I use to believe this way and I found it very harmful for my spiritual health. Knowing God wants a relationship with me and there is no middle man between us has been so freeing.
that wee little baby head is just so sweet
Please pray for my sister Lily! She recently heard the gospel and got more curious about God, I pray she gives her life to Jesus! So we may be an example of Jesus for my entire family!
Hi Milena. Thank you so much for your ministry on UA-cam ❤️ it’s only been a few weeks since I’ve found your channel and you and Jordan’s podcast but has done wonders for my mindset and my marriage. It really woke me up from being a lukewarm Christian and to get serious about Jesus. The Holy Spirit has been working in me and giving me a new heart and new passion for His word. Praying everyday that my husband will come to know Christ too. We also have toddlers and pregnant with our third :) Wanted to ask if you would do a video or talk on ungodly friendships and how to share the gospel with someone that you previously were walking in sin with, how to set boundaries etc. thanks again! ❤️
This video is such a blessing!! Would love for you to do more Bible studies 💖💖
Milena 🤎 What religion are you?
I am Traditional Catholic and see similarities on what we believe.
Thank you for sharing how good God is.
Congratulations on your family 💙
She is most likely a Protestant christian- although keep in mind many protestants don’t know they are protestant.
When I was evangelical I thought Catholics were not christian. Of course I don’t believe that anymore after researching and studying church history :)
I know you’re asking Milena, but just wanted to share. I’m pretty sure catholic falls under Christianity which means there are a lot of similarities 💕
Hi! I heard her and Jordan mention in a podcast that they call themselves “Bible believing Christians” hope that helps!
I am also (trad) Catholic 😊 happy to see you here!!
@@exploremyswirl3162yes, just curious about the specifics :)
Thank you! Please pray for my marriage
This was such a blessing 🌷
Hi milena 🥰🥰 I would love to see your tricks on how you memorise Bible verses, thanks ❤
This was beautiful thank you so much Milena ! You have helped me for years !!!
16:28 eyes fixed on heaven
Thank you for your encouragement xx
Thank you for sharing sister!
Beautiful dress!
This was too good ! Thanks milena
7:27 *if you see someone without a smile, give them yours!*
Love this video!!! Thank you lord for the wisdom and strength you give her to share
It's been so wonderful learning about the Lord. ❤❤❤
This was so helpful! 💙 if you decide to do a part 2, could you touch on navigating how to bring up concerns/thoughts
NEEDED THIS ❤thanks girl I love you!!
This is perfectly timed for me, I've just started reading Gospel Shaped Womanhood by Sarah Rice!
Milena, have you studied 1 Corinthians? Recently the Lord has really convicted me about covering my head. The scriptures say for believing women to wear a covering on their heads as a symbol of submission to their husbands and God's lordship over them. Wondering if you've contemplated this before 💖
I was praying for a video like this because I have a struggle with my gender.
In my thoughts it is always exhausting to be a woman. The period, pregnancy,
the birth, the season after birth, the weaker vessel. 😑
I really need some encouraging words and videos to
solve this problem. I am in prayer for a long
time because of this and some things have changed,
but I still see the woman as disadvantaged.
When I think about building a family I don't want
to be the woman.... The imagination of this scares me
and I sometimes feel like being in a prison.
Even if I know my thoughts are wrong it comes
back over and over again.
This is just how I feel, I am in christ since 2019
and never had a problem with my gender before.
I don't know the reason....
God bless you all ❤
What if your father isn’t submitted to the Lord?
Lol, a Proverb a day keeps the foolishness away! True!!
I really loved this! Thank you!!
Just read a book called “Twelve Extraordinary Women” by John MacArthur. Absolutely incredible biblical study on twelve women in the Bible. So encouraging and helped reroute my focus and learn the role of women that God originally created. Highly highly recommend
Hi, could you girls please pray for me? Currently im finishing my study to become a teacher. I want to volunteer somewhere on the earth to make a difference in someones life and helping in spreading the Gospel and Gods Kingdom. But im full of doubt: is this what God wants? Why am i full of doubt? Is the devil doing his job with filling me with doubt or is it God telling me not to go? I want to make the right decision. There are several volunteer opportunities. I dont know wich one to choose. One is Christian and one isnt. One is at a primary school and i am a teacher, one is different kind of projects. Please, could you pray for me??
Just prayed for you🫶🏼 God be with you!
Praying ❤ Trust that the Lord will guide your steps If you want to do his will 😊
I really need to control my tongue, especially when it comes to road rage 🙈 it's so bad...I need to replace it with prayer and scripture and repent
Loved all of this! My favourite part was the last (or close to last) verse you shared about not being a leaky faucet to your husband. And then you personally added that you want to be a crown to him instead- LOVED THIS SO MUCH. Even though I praise my husband a lot, I find I’m often pointing out all the things he doesn’t do which he’s shared stands out so much more than the praise (I’m sure we can all agree we feel the exact same 😆) so I love the idea of going to the Lord with whatever problem or tiny little issue it is first and let him do the heavy lifting/ground work and just being a crown and encouragement to my husband instead. Thanks for the encouragement sis 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Milena, I love your videos so much and it’s been wonderful to hear your wisdom and observe your transformation over the last year. You are inspiring to young wives like me! I am curious if you have ever considered the Catholic Church before, considering how much scripture you consume. Have you studied to early church fathers? As a Catholic, we hope to see unity across all Christians one day and wish to see everyone enter back into the folds of the church.
LOVE THIS!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
love this so much!! thank you for sharing
Thank you for this… such rich content
Thank you for this!!
Everyone needs to read She Deserves Better by Shiela Wray Gregoire. It is extremely well researched and biblically based. It really goes into why messages like this can be so dangerous. Specifically around submission and purity culture
Messages like what?
Dangerous how?
I’m not even a mom yet, but I am loving that carrier ❤
Hi everyone,
In a video Milena mentioned a book about biblical sex, does anybody remember the book?
I am really trying to unlearn the world’s views on this topic and relearn the Christian perspective.
Not sure which book she’s mentioned, but one book that I found beyond helpful was Hooked: The Brain Science on How Casual Sex Affects Human Development by Joe Mclhaney and Freda McKissic Bush. It’s not Christian but literally the science proves the Bible’s perspective is what’s best for us!🙌🏼 blew my mind, only 4 hour listen on audible!
"My kids would probably have zero teeth" 😂 Thinking of that next to being the lamb lol
I think it’s important to note that we can’t block all evil from our senses. We live in a fallen world. Sin is abundant all around us, especially online (no matter what kind of limits, etc. you put on it). We are bound to see, or hear something that is not good. I think it more so comes down to dwelling on the evil. In our personal time do we dwell on these things that we see and hear?
I think so much of my life I have spent trying to block myself from evil. When in turn, I should be, like you had mentioned about the proverbs woman, rooted in God’s Word and thus not in a place to be swept away by these things.
We guard our hearts to not go into the temptations presented all around us.
We don’t allow the evil into our hearts, and then pour out of us.
We rely on the Holy Spirit to keep us drawing nearer to God, and not the evil that is encompassing this world more and more, as we draw near the end of it.
Do we really love God? Or are we in a place where if we consumed ____, we would be taken away from him? BIG heart check there.
A great summation:
Do we see and hear the evil, and move on?
Or do we see it and hear it and indulge in it bc we, in our hearts, really want that thing more than God?
Prayer over these things is so key. God, uproot the desires of the flesh that do not align with the desires of your Spirit. Help me walk by the Spirit and not by my flesh; my passions and desires that lead me to sin. Keep me from the temptations I may not be able to bear.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ amazing! Beautiful! Inspiring!
I was just reading this chapter in the excellent wife. We’re all in submission to someone ❤
I like the way that proverbs describes Jesus qualities and we can act and be like that because it's Jesus in our lives, and he is the one growing in us. I truly believe that it has to do with leaving our flesh "die" and let Jesus live and grow in us. It's not something that we can do with our strength but through Faith we believe that the Son is transforming ourselves because it's literally his life in our life.
I loooove this dress! Do you have it linked?
When you have your period and if it’s painful what do you do on those days to rest and recover? If it’s not painful what do you do to remove the pain? My periods are very painful and I don’t know what to do besides lay in bed on those days
Maybe ask the Lord for something in nature 🌿🌱🍃
I am sure he created something to help us women.
Maybe Alchemilla ( ladys mantel )
May god give you the right herb.
God bless you ❤
When your single and you have a father who never was a father what do you do then re submission 😅
Yes love that about a Proverb a day! The Lord encouraged me to make a video by reading a Proverb every single day on my channel and it has blessed me immensely!! 🕊️📖✝️🙏
That’s what I’m doing this month in addition to my other Bible Reading plan. I like to start the year with the books of Proverbs and now on the middle of the year.
