Amen! The Lord woke me up and saved me from this “masculine” mindset too! I tried pursuing being in the military and a law enforcement officer.. and He shut every door! I’m a wife and we are expecting our first baby and I LOVE following my husband and him leading our family! For years I never wore dresses but now I feel my best wearing them! I missed out on so many years on being who God created me to be… a woman.. Glory to God because He didn’t give up on me!🤍🕊️
Love this! I have 4 older brothers and always grew up believing similar things. I also got married young and felt the same shift when I became a mom. The greatest most fulfilling role!
I can really relate to this! I left high school wanting to live in the big city - do it all on my own, hyper independent! I never saw that as masculine then but can 100% see it now. But God! So thankful for the other trajectory my life took. Got married at 20, had my first baby at 21. Stay at home mom from day 1, now homeschooling my 3 kids. I am so incredibly thankful! I resonated so much with you talking about the first time you held your son in your arms. I had thought about going back to work after having my first and immediately was like how! How could I ever leave this precious beautiful boy with anyone else?! Blessings to you and yours, Seleena! ❤
Loved this video ❤. I’m not religious, but I too believe we were created for different roles as men and women to balance each other out. That being said I’m currently a corporate paralegal and all I want to do is be home with my daughter making a home for her and my husband. I was told in previous relationships that I was nothing if I didn’t have a career. So I strived to become a professional and I’ve never hated anything more. I’m very thankful my husband is on the same page as me with being a stay at home mom and pretty soon I’ll be able to take the time off as we are expecting. I can’t wait to wear dresses every day and keep up with house work and be able to take all the burden off my husband when he gets home. Watching videos like this makes me feel like I’m not alone and it’s okay not to want to work a 9-5 and be too tired to do anything when I get home. Thanks you ❤
Great video. I had a more masculine approach to being a woman and working. When I had my son (who’s almost 7 now) I was anxious to get back to work because I had the mindset I had to work but I was also so torn being away from him for 10 hours a day (that’s with the commute to work). I moved back to my home state I worked for my dad and was able to have my son with me. Over the next couple of years I worked less and after having our 3rd baby 2 years ago I’m a full time SAHM homeschooling mom. Being able to be at home means I’m less stressed between my outside duties and my home duties. I can focus my full attention on my children, my husband, my home. Some women want to work outside the home and that’s fine. Whatever works for them and their families. It’s a shame though that when women talk about the call to stay home and to share with other women their perspective and journey other women (modern feminists) feel a need to make mean comments like “ he’s going to leave you or cheat on you”. When honestly I’ve been through infidelity early on in my marriage when I was working and could support myself and my son, so those comments always seem so silly to me.
I loved this so much! Thank you for being a light in this world to us women! I completely agree with everything in this video and especially how that helps our husbands become who they are supposed to be. Super encouraging and lovely video 🥰 God bless you! Can’t wait to watch you grow 😊
The one thing I always think about… if I were to die tomorrow, my co-workers might feel sad for a bit, but they’d move on and hire a new person. I’d be replaced. But in my family, I will never be replaced. My son will always remember the moments with his mom and my husband with his wife. I do still have to work, but I don’t have a desire to grow my career or put all my effort into it anymore. I’d rather save that energy for my family.
Wow. I wish I could sit down with you and talk more about this. It's been on my heart lately and I've been praying a lot to see what biblical femininity is like in my stage of life and with truly only a biblical lens, not a cultural or political one.
I love that so much! I love hearing about other woman all over the world desiring to be Godly woman. You’re not alone, and I would sooo love to grab coffee with you too and chat! Thanks for watching 🫶🏽
I personally See it absolutely as feminism what you describe in the beginning. I truely believe that feminism is all about having the choice to live the life you want. And when this means that you want to embrace womanhood and motherhood then you should absolutely Go for it. For me feminism Kicks in, when a Woman or a Girl blossoms in motherhood and the next Woman or Girl can't See herself as a mother but rather wants to have a big career or a life on the Road etc. and None (!) of them sees theirselves as living life the right way or doing it better. For me it's Most important that you and your Partner are in conversation about your physical and mental load so that none of you feels constantly overburden. Take Care and have a wonderful day! greetings from Germany 🍀
Recently found your channel and it brings so much encouragement to my life. I can so relate, after high school I felt so much shame for not going to college or “doing anything with my life” and after getting married and was pregnant with my first child, my husband said he would prefer if I quit my job and stayed home with our daughter. It was like a light bulb went off because I NEVER considered staying home to raise kids. Now I’m pregnant with my 4th child (3rd son) and I love how my 4 year old son tells me I’m pretty every time I put on a dress. I don’t think I would have had more than 1 child if I went back to work after my daughter. Crazy to think about. All glory to God that I get to live this life and be a mom of 4 children. It’s an honor! Ps, I love your channel because it’s not a comparison trap. You are like a real life friend giving encouragement 🤍
I love this so much. You’re not alone, what an amazing life you’ve been blessed with! And congrats on baby #4! 🎉 Also, thank you for the kind words! My hope with this channel is that people would walk always feeling more content, rather discontent.
This was really encouraging and I feel like I've always struggled with the idea of letting my husband be the provider. I grew up in a home where my mom was a working mom because she was burned in a divorce before she met my dad and she always told us to take care of yourself and never rely on a man. I work from home now and I so badly want to quit my job and homeschool but I have fears of letting go of my income and taking on the full role of a homemaker and my husband is also afraid of letting it go because it would be so tight on us in this economy. I almost feel like we are stuck and afraid and I think part of it has been trusting that God and my husband can provide for us. Any suggestions to navigate this? I also hate it because lately I have felt so overwhelmed with having to work and take care of the home and I am starting to realize it's because I wasn't made to do both. I want to find that trust and provision from the Lord and be able to receive it and not be afraid.
Ugh, that’s so hard. First off, what an AMAZING savior we have in Jesus, who takes our burdens gladly , and cares for us. Spend time at His feet and in His word, would be my greatest advice. Open communication within the marriage, and prayer together. Seeking advice from your pastors and elders at your church. You’re not alone!
Personally I believe women are the protectors of hearts and men are the protectors of bodies. We in the west actually used to have a matriarchy focused on the morality of our society, sadly the witch persecutions put an end to that. Your man really needs you to protect his heart too. That's meaning for a man's life.

Totally agree! Wow, you’re amazing!! 👏🏽
I feel embracing all women in whatever choices they feel are best for them, just like you are doing is how we live as Jesus calls us to do.
Love this❣️
Could you provide links to our info about some of your dresses? 😍
I get most of my dresses from Daughters of India or beach wood baby! 🫶🏽

Amen! With you in a desire to pursue Biblical womanhood in every season!

God put this video in my feed. I needed this beautiful reminder. You radiate femininity.
That’s the sweetest comment, thank you

I love your videos they give me so much peace. Can I ask how old you are? Your words are so wise.
I’m 29! 🫶🏽

Your man really needs you to protect his heart too. That's meaning for a man's life.
Couldnt agree more.
