You have been SUCH a godly influence for me over this past year. I have grown in my walk with Jesus because of your example. Thank you for the wisdom you give to me and your willingness to allow the Lord to work through you! ♥️
Me too, what I have loved is that everything I have been going through and changing in my life as well as the things in my life that I have been convicted about she comes out with a video exactly on all of those particular things. Thank you Lord ❤
The beginning of this video made me tear up. I’m a mom of an 11 month old right now and my time with God right now looks like the beginning of this video. Something that God has been speaking to me lately is that me doing and taking care of my family is a form of worship. And God isn’t confined to this time period where I pull out my Bible and pray/listen to worship music. He’s with me ALL throughout my day and there’s a constant conversation. 💛
Came to write a comment and this is me to a tee 🥺 I almost cried watching Milena talk about all that she did - almost from overwhelm (in a good way) of wanting that intimacy with God. I have an 11 month old too and my spiritual walk has just not been very disciplined at all.
Romans 12:1 “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.” Romans 12:1 Be a LIVING SACRIFICE which is your spiritual worship. When we take care of our children to be glory and honor of God we ARE worshipping Him. This verse opened my eyes and freed me from feeling caught between my worship and my life duties. You got this sister, do all things to the glory of God and your worshipping.
Milena, thank you so much for sharing this! I'm a college student and when you said "if you're really busy, barely running on any sleep and you just want to spend time with the Lord" I was like girl same haha I feel like the reality of this made it even more encouraging. Thank you for being obedient and bold in posting this. You are wonderful!
I did your book of Ruth study when it first came out! It was actually the first bible study I’ve ever did and since then have grown my relationship with Jesus. I’ve joined multiple bible studies on base. I was also baptized this Easter 🤍 You have honestly helped me with my walk with God, learning how to walk differently through motherhood.
I've been looking forward to your next upload!! I feel so blessed by your content- I'm expecting my first baby this summer and you inspire me to be the best Christian mama I can be 😊❤️
This is beautiful, Milena. I’m in college and struggling to find time to give to The Lord. I mean fully and wholly to The Lord. I will surrender my time to Him and glorify Him with it cause it is ultimately Him that give it to me. I talk to Him during the day, but it doesn’t fill my cup and I know I need that fill of Jesus before I start my day so I’m going to start being more disciplined. A life without discipline is a live of chaos. Thank you for letting me see a day of you being with Jesus. It gives me hope that I can fully be with Him too no matter how busy I am. He’s always with me. I just have to give Him more of me.
Your content lately has been so beautiful! I love seeing how Holy Spirit is moving in you and your home. Keep running the race in the lane God has placed you in because you’re such an inspiration to the rest of us Christian mamas, bringing heaven on earth in our homes 🤍 be encouraged!
Your videos especially lately have been extremely encouraging to me. Thank you for speaking life into this dark world. Also have you read the book The Ruthless Elimination Of Hurry? I’ve been going through it with my husband and it is eye opening!
@@MilenaCiciotti For sure give it a read Milena, you NEED this book right now, I think it aligns with everything you're working through in your life right now with simplifying. I'm surprised Tori hasn't gotten you to read it yet already!
I can’t believe it has been 3,5 years since I read your devotional on Ruth! It was so good. I apreciate the way you have been sharing about God lately on your channel💕 thank you Milena for being a transparent and inspiring role model ✨🤩 the fact that this video was raw and honest makes it so much more motivational. So thank you Milena for your obidience and thank you Jesus for pruning us all daily 🙏🏼☺️✨
i really needed this right now. As a single mom of a two year old, I've been finding myself getting really frustrated not only not being able to listen in church because I'm trying to keep her calm and collected, but not having the time or being too tired to study my Bible. I know a lot of it is me and I have to get better with time management and try new work arounds but it's nice to know I'm not alone. Thank you for the encouragement! This was a blessing ❤
We had the same with our little one in church and it felt so frustrating. We recently started taking some playdoh (one color) and one cookie cutter or something and it seems to work so far! And snacks, that too 😅
Wow! I watched her in the beginning days. There were some years I didn’t watch her videos as regularly. The spiritual glow up is real!! So encouraging and great wisdom in her channel!! ❤
I was getting emotional seeing you and Jordan pray together. Thank you for showing that real and saw and beautiful moment intimacy and unity. A praying couple is powerful! Man I so desire to have that three fold relationship with my future spouse one day. 🙏🏻 ❤
I have wanted to comment this for a long time. It could bring me to tears. But thank you for giving me a hunger to be a bomb mother. I am a Christian and when I got married I carried so much from childhood. I knew I was going to lay my life down to be the best mom I could possibly ever be but I didn’t have many examples. Watching you be a stable, Godly, loving mom showed me that I am not alone and that there are moms out there that are raising their kids how I wanted to. You’ve impacted my life so much. I watch you and become so motivated to clean, cook healthy food, and read my Bible with my 8 month old baby girl. I watched your birth videos when I was pregnant and they helped me so much with the fear. I’m pretty sure my baby knows your voice like you’re family because we watched you so much. Lol. You are like the big sister I never had. I love you girl. Thank you.
It took me awhile to learn that time with the Lord is not only sitting and reading scripture or listening to music for an allotted time in my day, but in how I walk in meditation and practicing a gentle and contrite heart and spirit throughout the tasks of my days. We are with Him in how we love, how we extend almsgiving, how we practice sincere gratitude for our provisions, how we ask for His mercy for our sins. We are with Him in how we live out our days, not only in those hours we set aside. Thank you for spreading the message with your video, Milena! God bless 💗
Hi Milena! Thank you so much for all of your videos. I am very grateful to have a big sister in Christ like you! I have done your Bible study of the book of Ruth and I absolutely loved it! I have learned a lot from it. I can still remember doing it and telling my little sister how great it was and encouraging her to also do it. I just got saved around that time and it helped me so much. I have great memories about it because the weather outside was just perfect in the early morning, so I would go outside in the backyard with a cup of coffee, a smoothie bowl and just start my day in quiet time with the Lord, hearing the birds chirp, fixing my eyes on Jesus. Thank you for being who you are Milena, it's honestly so beautiful to see Jesus in you and how the Lord is using you. Sending you lots of love from the Netherlands 💕
I LOVE this video! My husband and I used to listen to Bible stories and kids worship on cassette tapes growing up.. watching your video reminded us that we want to implement the same for our kids (minus the cassettes of course). It’s so encouraging to see a Mom witness to her kids, teach them the discipline of playing by themselves, and take time for yourself. Love your channel!
Your opening prayer over your family reminds me of the one you posted a few months ago in an Instagram caption. I use it almost daily. It's a great reminder to allow God to guide us through parenting. 😌
First of all can I just say…. THANK YOU 🙏🏻 For setting an example, showing up authentically and sharing such vulnerable parts of your life! You have been such a friend and influence to many that follow you (including myself) & there can’t be enough thanks given for allowing God to use you to show others his love and abundance. THANK YOU ❤
I have been following you for a couple of years now. This will be my first time commenting. I love the new videos you have been uploading. I feel the presence of theHoly Spirit. They encourage me and make me want to spend more time with our Lord! Like you said this is God’s channel praying for Him to continue using you! God Bless you sister!
I have been here when you released the Ruth Bible study, even way before!! One little story about this is that I didn`t get to actually study it when you released it, although I wanted and today I began a new chapter of my life, to study the Bible daily (even though I made this resolution over and over again over time) and I didn`t feel in the mood for anything that was coming up in my mind to study, so because I was watching this video and you mentioned the Ruth study, it sounded great to me. Even though it doesn`t sound nice that I barely now do this study, it is exactly what I needed now and before I was never in a disposition for it. It has a purpose in my life, which is NOW! Today I completed day 1. For some of us, even your past content is still valid to this day. By the way, in the past year your content is fire and I love following it even MORE than before 😍😍
I just have been LOVING your videos lately! Also, love your devotional on Ruth. I recently went through it last year with a group of girls at my college.
Amen with your prayer 🙌🏻🤎 I can’t wait for this video I’m super super excited! Your videos lately have been so powerful, and this one is one you can feel the Holy Spirit move through your prayer, it’s so beautiful🥰 I’ve started reading my Bible in front of my kids, it’s still something to get used to because they always talk to me jeje but I know I’m showing them that I’m spending time with the Lord and being an example 😌
just…thank you. my family is being blessed by the videos you have been putting out and the influence you’ve had on my heart and mind. having my first baby (a 7 month old), i’m having to truly learn what being in constant prayer looks like. God is working through you!
LOVED the start of this video. I always pray to the lord on those specific things but sometimes it’s hard for me to put into words the way you seamlessly do! Please make more intros like this!! ❤️
Thank you for this video! I was just talking to an elder about how I fell into a “pity me mood” after having my baby and how I believed it was due to not only having a newborn, but also not spending time in the word. My baby is a month old today and I definitely am working towards spending more time with God! 🙏🏽💕
I have really been trying to get up and have a full morning routine and change my habits. My husband and I both really need a routine to set the tone for the day. Mornings are our biggest struggle but they’re so so so important! Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for all of your videos, sis. Like I love them! You’re the best! 💕
So grateful to have found you, I love your morning prayer, I’m honestly trying my best to re learn a lot of things because of my childhood but the way you pray over all the things good and not so fun like dishes and laundry bring tears to my eyes cause they were always something I dreaded or just would get in trouble for not doing etc. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 love your content and thank you so much for your godly influence
Also I wanted to share another time but your message on Disney has shaken me to my core and I am so thankful I have cut that out of our life. It is so hard because I loved it so much but that's often when we have to change things. God bless you darling family from england xxxx
I’ve just recently come across your videos and I love what you are putting out! Just want to say thank you! Keep inspiring us all! ❤️ Also, we listen to the Wonder Kids playlist on our kiddo car rides!! When you said “they have a song that just SLAPS” I said yessss this woman and I can be besties!! 🤣🤣 Me and my husband love that one too!!! It does slap!! 😮💨😅
Girl! Your arms are so toned! Great job 👏 keeping up your work outs with 3 kids! Gives me hope. Also love how flexible you’ve shown praise and worship and connection with God looks like! Also thank you for praying on camera- cuz hearing that others pray for patience is helpful.
Im glad you didnt stop filming when it stopped going the way you liked it to go!!! Way to go! You are brave to invite ppl in and may so many be blessed by this! ❤
sweet mi , what a pure pure video ! i absolutely loved this intentional day that you shared with the Lord . it was so so vital that you shared a raw && unedited day with Him && i loved that it was just a day that was filled with Him in this season ! a lot of times i can feel the pressure from social media to have this absolutely perfect quiet time with Him but this was far from that so it was so so beautiful ! all the Lord wants is our raw && vulnerable ♥︎ && that is exactly what you gave Him in this sweet video . i was so so encouraged && i absolutely love spending my days intentionally seeking Him out . this will be vital for your kids && their own relationships with the Lord && as they see you prioritizing Him they then will realize their need for Him . . . what a sweet sweet thing ! continue to lean into Him && His ultimate peace ! 🕊️🤎
Oh Milena, thank you so much for this video! Everything about it was so lovely. I so appreciate your honesty, your realness and just who you are. I feel like I'm right with you as you've been growing. I started watching when I had my daughter in December 2021 and I've loved the videos you put out. The videos lately with so much Jesus content have been incredibly encouraging and challenging in the best way. It's just what I need in this season of figuring out how/what it looks like to bring Jesus into every part of my life as I work through anxiety and childhood hurts and learn to parent my daughter (along with the busyness of everything else of course :) ). I appreciate how you showed us how your writing in your Bible is not perfect, it's just like mine - little reminders of what God is teaching me, no fancy calligraphy (not that I'm against it, I am just so untalented in this area haha). It takes down that pressure that our time with Jesus has to be perfect. I'm praying for you and Jordan and your kiddos! Side question - you mentioned something about a parenting resource from someone named Ginger that has Bible verses to back up each thing. Perhaps I missed it, but I'm wondering if you would mind sharing this? It sounds wonderful! Thank you for all you are doing! Much love in Him, Lily
this was SO HELPFUL. We hear people say these things but seeing it in action and hearing your prayers is so helpful because while I know there's no FORMULA for what time with God looks like, because of that it can feel like I'm doing it 'wrong' sometimes.
I know not everyone may take this advice but I read the readings for each day from the Catholic Church and it’s finally helped me get back in the word because before I never knew where to go and doing this has been so amazing. It has an Old Testament and New Testament passage and a psalm. They also connect to eachother in theme. Maybe that will help someone out! Also the nighttime prayer was beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for this video!! I am a new Mom and struggling sooo hard with quiet time and just faith in general. And this realistic day in a life truly helps and gives hope that it doesn’t have to be perfect just intentional and honest.❤
This is taking me back😭 the first video I watched of you was how you spend your morning/alone time with Jesus. Newly married, I believe. And to see you now! I love it🥰 love this video! Thank you
Milena, I love how you are embracing your natural beauty. I loved the video where you talked about vanity and how you want to be less focused on yourself. I have started to reflect that in my life as well! God bless the influence you have on women of the Lord
I love the new dynamic and the season you’re in right now and PS it looks GOOD ON YA! I was watchin this vlog n thinking how is she lookin like she’s in her early 20s! Lord is keeping you ♥️🙏😇🥰
Thank you for this video. I am not a stay at home mom, but my husband is, I just started walking with the Lord after probably 6 months of being apart, thank you for showing me how to pray for my kids and for praying for me as a mom. You have been such an inspiration on how to walk with the Lord and in this life that is so busy you give yourself grace for knowing that you will not have the time to do Everythjng but you always make time for the Lord and I have learned that from you so thank you
Another note I wanted to add! What you talked about around 4:55 reminded me of how Christian monks and nuns in their monasteries go about their daily tasks all while speaking to the Lord. I’ve heard that when you observe at a monastery, you will notice some of them constantly moving their mouths in silence as they till their gardens, wash the dishes; going about their daily chores in prayer with the Lord! That is so beautiful to me that their hearts are always fixed upon the Lord in the mundane.
Such an encouraging video! I can't believe it's been the years since you wrote the Ruth devotional! I remember it coming out right at a time that I was struggling to work on relationship with God.
This is such a beautiful video, Milena! As an expecting first time mom, I’m so encouraged to see your daily routine with the Lord and how you also encourage your children’s relationships with the Lord!
You are such a blessing, I do thank the lord for letting me find your TH-cam and podcast. I feel soooo encouraged by you and Jordan to become a more bold christian and feel even more connected to the lord since I saw your deep relationship to Jesus ❤ thank you so much.
I haven’t felt so inspired to read my Bible like this in a long time so I appreciate the video. ♥️♥️ I encourage you to continue being vulnerable and opening up about your spiritual practices. There’s so many influencers online who share spiritual practices outside of Christianity and it is needful and appropriate to bring the teachings and principles of Christ back to center stage. The idea and goal of reading the Bible in a year has been around for such a long time, and I definitely shared that goal at some point. Now I question the true intention behind it. Certainly reading the Bible is a positive and spiritually beneficial activity so intuitively it seems like reading it in a year would be… extra beneficial? A worthy & worthwhile accomplishment? But when I look at this goal from a spiritual perspective, I question how we determined the value of a year. I hope if anyone is reading this, you truly consider the question and resist the temptation to dismiss this opportunity for reflection. Remember anything you do for the glory of God has the strength to stand up to questioning. The Lord doesn’t need you to defend him with your natural mind. Instead, please pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to reveal: Where, in your heart, you have found SPIRITUAL value in the timeframe of 12 months? If you desire the Holy Spirit to lead you in understanding the word of God, what benefit you are reaping by putting a 12 month deadline (or any other deadline) on the work of the Holy Spirit? And finally is there scripture to support the idea putting a timeline on reading the entirety of God’s word? Food for thought & prayer.
Milenaaaa I have been praying so much for you these last few days. Was missing your videos already and was asking God to cover you and your family and here I see you just posted 🙏 Thank you for this, beautiful 🧡
I loved this video, Milena! praying for God's continual favour and immense blessing upon you in this precious season of life you are in. Appreciate you so much 🤍
Thank you for sharing! You have been an inspiration to me and how I’ve been spending my time more fruitfully and being more intentional with talking about God to my children. You have been a blessing to me so thank you🙏🏻 God is so good and he is constantly shaping us…please keep up the good work of sharing His Love and don’t be discouraged by this world. Praying for you as you continue this (not so easy) job of yours. God bless
Finally, I'm able to take the time to sit down and write something here in one of your latest videos!! Mom life, right? Oh man, since you did that video about vanity, I've been wanting to share my thoughts.. I'm so grateful for the work of Santification that the Lord has been doing in your life, which is clearly seen. I had stopped watching your videos and some other Christian TH-camrs because I started getting the feeling that they were just making me focus more on the self, or random stuff like outfits, fancy stuff that I don't need, looks etc and very little of focusing on the Lord, so to see this radical change is so encouraging and so beautiful Milene! It is soooo awesome so see your boldness and how you're influencing and encouraging many in the Lord! And I'm not saying that the previous videos were bad, not at all because still I found so much motherhood inspiration and I'm so thankful and I know for sure the Lord have used them as well. Just hoping to encourage you to keep going and moving towards this direction, cause I know the enemy and the flesh will try to stop you. May the Father continue to use you and bless you and your family in a might way! Sending you tons of Brazilian love☺️
This was so good and so on time. It was exactly what I needed. It’s so beautiful seeing this come full circle. I found you years ago through one of your first daily Bible routine videos. Thank you so much for sharing and letting the Lord’s light be seen through you! ❤️
Huge huge huge!!! This has been an area I’ve been trying to conquer and perfect!! Definitely needed this video and your advice!!! Thank you so much!! So helpful and reassuring!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I used to be somewhat triggered by videos like these, but the past year I feel like my eyes have truly been opened. I was a luke warm Christian, and I know now that the devil was trying to attack my spirit. Your videos are such a light and have helped me so much!! I hope I am able to enlighten others the way you have for me. God is truly speaking through you! 🤍 Sending prayers for you and your family, because I know this can’t be easy for you! 🤍
This video was sent by God. Literally. I have been struggling with "routine" and I beat myself up for it. You have encouraged me to not be so hard on myself. Just spend time with him throughout the day in the little moments. I thank you for sharing what your day is like with Jesus.
So cool to see you be sponsored by mr pen! Lol I’m such a pen and hi-lighter nerd, they’re my go-to’s and I’m always giving them as gifts 🤣❤️ God bless you and your family, always🙏🏼💙
You have been SUCH a godly influence for me over this past year. I have grown in my walk with Jesus because of your example. Thank you for the wisdom you give to me and your willingness to allow the Lord to work through you! ♥️
!!!! This comment same here 🫶🏽
AMEN AMEN AMEN
Same!
🙏🏼 amen!!!! I wasn’t even a Christian before I saw how Jesus worked through milena and her family😭🥹

Jordan’s prayer for the night was absolutely beautiful😭💛thank you for this video it was very encouraging!🧡
I agree 👍

Even though it doesn`t sound nice that I barely now do this study, it is exactly what I needed now and before I was never in a disposition for it. It has a purpose in my life, which is NOW! Today I completed day 1. For some of us, even your past content is still valid to this day.
By the way, in the past year your content is fire and I love following it even MORE than before 😍😍
I had my Bible open to Corinthians 13 this morning and the beginning of your video has a verse from it, how sweet is the Lord🥺🤍
I just have been LOVING your videos lately! Also, love your devotional on Ruth. I recently went through it last year with a group of girls at my college.
Amen with your prayer 🙌🏻🤎 I can’t wait for this video I’m super super excited! Your videos lately have been so powerful, and this one is one you can feel the Holy Spirit move through your prayer, it’s so beautiful🥰 I’ve started reading my Bible in front of my kids, it’s still something to get used to because they always talk to me jeje but I know I’m showing them that I’m spending time with the Lord and being an example 😌
just…thank you. my family is being blessed by the videos you have been putting out and the influence you’ve had on my heart and mind. having my first baby (a 7 month old), i’m having to truly learn what being in constant prayer looks like. God is working through you!
LOVED the start of this video. I always pray to the lord on those specific things but sometimes it’s hard for me to put into words the way you seamlessly do! Please make more intros like this!! ❤️
Thank you for this video! I was just talking to an elder about how I fell into a “pity me mood” after having my baby and how I believed it was due to not only having a newborn, but also not spending time in the word. My baby is a month old today and I definitely am working towards spending more time with God! 🙏🏽💕
I have really been trying to get up and have a full morning routine and change my habits. My husband and I both really need a routine to set the tone for the day. Mornings are our biggest struggle but they’re so so so important! Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for all of your videos, sis. Like I love them! You’re the best! 💕
So grateful to have found you, I love your morning prayer, I’m honestly trying my best to re learn a lot of things because of my childhood but the way you pray over all the things good and not so fun like dishes and laundry bring tears to my eyes cause they were always something I dreaded or just would get in trouble for not doing etc. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 love your content and thank you so much for your godly influence
Also I wanted to share another time but your message on Disney has shaken me to my core and I am so thankful I have cut that out of our life. It is so hard because I loved it so much but that's often when we have to change things. God bless you darling family from england xxxx
I LOVE this. So proud of you and so praising God for the transformation I’m seeing! ❤
I’ve just recently come across your videos and I love what you are putting out! Just want to say thank you! Keep inspiring us all! ❤️ Also, we listen to the Wonder Kids playlist on our kiddo car rides!! When you said “they have a song that just SLAPS” I said yessss this woman and I can be besties!! 🤣🤣 Me and my husband love that one too!!! It does slap!! 😮💨😅
Thank you for the reminder to pray for gentleness. My tired mommy heart needed it.
Am I allowed to say I love you? Thank you for bringing us all closer to the Lord. ❤ this was beautiful! We need more videos like this
i was here for when you did the Ruth bible study! I absolutely loved it.
Girl! Your arms are so toned! Great job 👏 keeping up your work outs with 3 kids! Gives me hope.
Also love how flexible you’ve shown praise and worship and connection with God looks like!
Also thank you for praying on camera- cuz hearing that others pray for patience is helpful.
You have grown so much spirituality over the years and it's amazing. I hv been following you since 2020
Amazing prayer Jordan !! I loved it ! Thank you for sharing your prayers with us ❤
Im glad you didnt stop filming when it stopped going the way you liked it to go!!! Way to go! You are brave to invite ppl in and may so many be blessed by this! ❤
I love seeing the growth in your life it’s so beautiful and God is all over you🥰🥰🥰
sweet mi , what a pure pure video ! i absolutely loved this intentional day that you shared with the Lord . it was so so vital that you shared a raw && unedited day with Him && i loved that it was just a day that was filled with Him in this season ! a lot of times i can feel the pressure from social media to have this absolutely perfect quiet time with Him but this was far from that so it was so so beautiful ! all the Lord wants is our raw && vulnerable ♥︎ && that is exactly what you gave Him in this sweet video . i was so so encouraged && i absolutely love spending my days intentionally seeking Him out . this will be vital for your kids && their own relationships with the Lord && as they see you prioritizing Him they then will realize their need for Him . . . what a sweet sweet thing ! continue to lean into Him && His ultimate peace ! 🕊️🤎
“Sweet Mi” I love that ! ❤ I agree I’m loving her new vlogs so much ❤🙏
Oh Milena, thank you so much for this video! Everything about it was so lovely. I so appreciate your honesty, your realness and just who you are. I feel like I'm right with you as you've been growing. I started watching when I had my daughter in December 2021 and I've loved the videos you put out. The videos lately with so much Jesus content have been incredibly encouraging and challenging in the best way. It's just what I need in this season of figuring out how/what it looks like to bring Jesus into every part of my life as I work through anxiety and childhood hurts and learn to parent my daughter (along with the busyness of everything else of course :) ). I appreciate how you showed us how your writing in your Bible is not perfect, it's just like mine - little reminders of what God is teaching me, no fancy calligraphy (not that I'm against it, I am just so untalented in this area haha). It takes down that pressure that our time with Jesus has to be perfect. I'm praying for you and Jordan and your kiddos!
Side question - you mentioned something about a parenting resource from someone named Ginger that has Bible verses to back up each thing. Perhaps I missed it, but I'm wondering if you would mind sharing this? It sounds wonderful!
Thank you for all you are doing!
Much love in Him,
Lily
this was SO HELPFUL. We hear people say these things but seeing it in action and hearing your prayers is so helpful because while I know there's no FORMULA for what time with God looks like, because of that it can feel like I'm doing it 'wrong' sometimes.
I know not everyone may take this advice but I read the readings for each day from the Catholic Church and it’s finally helped me get back in the word because before I never knew where to go and doing this has been so amazing. It has an Old Testament and New Testament passage and a psalm. They also connect to eachother in theme. Maybe that will help someone out!
Also the nighttime prayer was beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for this video!! I am a new Mom and struggling sooo hard with quiet time and just faith in general. And this realistic day in a life truly helps and gives hope that it doesn’t have to be perfect just intentional and honest.❤
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news”❤
This is taking me back😭 the first video I watched of you was how you spend your morning/alone time with Jesus. Newly married, I believe. And to see you now! I love it🥰 love this video! Thank you
Milena, I love how you are embracing your natural beauty. I loved the video where you talked about vanity and how you want to be less focused on yourself. I have started to reflect that in my life as well! God bless the influence you have on women of the Lord
What a beautiful prayer! May God continue to bless your family 🙏💕⚘🔥😍
We found the 30 Bible Songs on the playlist you share, which is saved to my phone because my children LOVE IT!
So good!!!!!
I love the new dynamic and the season you’re in right now and PS it looks GOOD ON YA! I was watchin this vlog n thinking how is she lookin like she’s in her early 20s! Lord is keeping you ♥️🙏😇🥰
I missed your videos while you were on holiday! Such a beautiful video! Looking forward to changing up the way I include the Lord in my day🙌
Thank you for this video. I am not a stay at home mom, but my husband is, I just started walking with the Lord after probably 6 months of being apart, thank you for showing me how to pray for my kids and for praying for me as a mom. You have been such an inspiration on how to walk with the Lord and in this life that is so busy you give yourself grace for knowing that you will not have the time to do Everythjng but you always make time for the Lord and I have learned that from you so thank you
Another note I wanted to add! What you talked about around 4:55 reminded me of how Christian monks and nuns in their monasteries go about their daily tasks all while speaking to the Lord. I’ve heard that when you observe at a monastery, you will notice some of them constantly moving their mouths in silence as they till their gardens, wash the dishes; going about their daily chores in prayer with the Lord! That is so beautiful to me that their hearts are always fixed upon the Lord in the mundane.
Such an encouraging video! I can't believe it's been the years since you wrote the Ruth devotional! I remember it coming out right at a time that I was struggling to work on relationship with God.
This is such a beautiful video, Milena! As an expecting first time mom, I’m so encouraged to see your daily routine with the Lord and how you also encourage your children’s relationships with the Lord!
Jordan’s prayer was beautiful ❤🥲
Your Ruth devo was when I first started following and really started my faith journey. Love it!
You are such a blessing, I do thank the lord for letting me find your TH-cam and podcast. I feel soooo encouraged by you and Jordan to become a more bold christian and feel even more connected to the lord since I saw your deep relationship to Jesus ❤ thank you so much.
Cried . At the end when yall started praying together . Omg wow chilling
I haven’t felt so inspired to read my Bible like this in a long time so I appreciate the video. ♥️♥️
I encourage you to continue being vulnerable and opening up about your spiritual practices. There’s so many influencers online who share spiritual practices outside of Christianity and it is needful and appropriate to bring the teachings and principles of Christ back to center stage.
The idea and goal of reading the Bible in a year has been around for such a long time, and I definitely shared that goal at some point. Now I question the true intention behind it. Certainly reading the Bible is a positive and spiritually beneficial activity so intuitively it seems like reading it in a year would be… extra beneficial? A worthy & worthwhile accomplishment?
But when I look at this goal from a spiritual perspective, I question how we determined the value of a year.
I hope if anyone is reading this, you truly consider the question and resist the temptation to dismiss this opportunity for reflection. Remember anything you do for the glory of God has the strength to stand up to questioning. The Lord doesn’t need you to defend him with your natural mind.
Instead, please pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to reveal:
Where, in your heart, you have found SPIRITUAL value in the timeframe of 12 months?
If you desire the Holy Spirit to lead you in understanding the word of God, what benefit you are reaping by putting a 12 month deadline (or any other deadline) on the work of the Holy Spirit?
And finally is there scripture to support the idea putting a timeline on reading the entirety of God’s word?
Food for thought & prayer.
Milenaaaa I have been praying so much for you these last few days. Was missing your videos already and was asking God to cover you and your family and here I see you just posted 🙏 Thank you for this, beautiful 🧡
Thank you for always being such a wonderful woman of God to follow. My first daughter now shares a name with you. 💓
This channel needs to be called “the sanctification of milena” lol. Love the new content! God bless you
Ok so peoples hand writing is something that always interests me and girl yours is so pretty😭😭
My most favourite vlog yet! Just loved it. Bless you and your family ❤️
I loved the Ruth Bible study! 💞
Jordan’s prayer was beautiful….wow 🤍
Your morning prayer is so inspiring
I've been waiting 13 days for a new Milena video ❣️🥰 you've really been speaking life to me lately!
I loved this video, Milena! praying for God's continual favour and immense blessing upon you in this precious season of life you are in. Appreciate you so much 🤍
Thank you for sharing! You have been an inspiration to me and how I’ve been spending my time more fruitfully and being more intentional with talking about God to my children. You have been a blessing to me so thank you🙏🏻 God is so good and he is constantly shaping us…please keep up the good work of sharing His Love and don’t be discouraged by this world. Praying for you as you continue this (not so easy) job of yours. God bless
The way you bop to the kids music is how I have been with the Listener kids “do lord remember me” and “when the saints go marching in”
Thankyou so much for sharing this with us. Watching this was so encouraging and I'm so excited to take some of these ideas into my day tomorrow.
Finally, I'm able to take the time to sit down and write something here in one of your latest videos!! Mom life, right?
Oh man, since you did that video about vanity, I've been wanting to share my thoughts..
I'm so grateful for the work of Santification that the Lord has been doing in your life, which is clearly seen. I had stopped watching your videos and some other Christian TH-camrs because I started getting the feeling that they were just making me focus more on the self, or random stuff like outfits, fancy stuff that I don't need, looks etc and very little of focusing on the Lord, so to see this radical change is so encouraging and so beautiful Milene!
It is soooo awesome so see your boldness and how you're influencing and encouraging many in the Lord!
And I'm not saying that the previous videos were bad, not at all because still I found so much motherhood inspiration and I'm so thankful and I know for sure the Lord have used them as well.
Just hoping to encourage you to keep going and moving towards this direction, cause I know the enemy and the flesh will try to stop you.
May the Father continue to use you and bless you and your family in a might way!
Sending you tons of Brazilian love☺️
Love this- so encouraging and as a mom and wife much needed- love the example you are setting
This was so good and so on time. It was exactly what I needed. It’s so beautiful seeing this come full circle. I found you years ago through one of your first daily Bible routine videos. Thank you so much for sharing and letting the Lord’s light be seen through you! ❤️
I love this, its so sweet ❤. I love that your reinforcing the idea of spending the day with Jesus from the podcast idea.
this is my favorite video! so beautiful. so genuine. so needed. thank you ❤
Huge huge huge!!! This has been an area I’ve been trying to conquer and perfect!! Definitely needed this video and your advice!!! Thank you so much!! So helpful and reassuring!!!
I've been watching you since you're first daughter was born! I am a big fan of your content. Much love from Florida!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I used to be somewhat triggered by videos like these, but the past year I feel like my eyes have truly been opened. I was a luke warm Christian, and I know now that the devil was trying to attack my spirit. Your videos are such a light and have helped me so much!! I hope I am able to enlighten others the way you have for me. God is truly speaking through you! 🤍 Sending prayers for you and your family, because I know this can’t be easy for you! 🤍
Just bought some Mr Pen pens:) super excited to give myself a little fun/motivation while I read my Bible. Thanks for the idea!
Love that Devo!! I did it two years ago. So solid! I’m studying Roman’s right now, it is one of my favorites! ❤❤
This video was so encouraging and real thank you for being real and following Jesus in a real and personal way!
Wow! These videos have been so life giving! Continue to make videos that glorify the Lord!
This video was sent by God. Literally. I have been struggling with "routine" and I beat myself up for it. You have encouraged me to not be so hard on myself. Just spend time with him throughout the day in the little moments. I thank you for sharing what your day is like with Jesus.
thank you!! as a new mom I have been struggling to spend time with the Lord, so thank you for showing me what it looks like!
OMG! Perfect timing! I have had those highlighters on my Amazon cart for a few days. I was planning to order them tonight!
Such a refreshing video! Thank you for putting content like this out there.
You are one of the reasons I found Jesus. I watched you and I was drawn to everything you stand for.
I always love these videos. So much encouragement and example for younger women!
Been loving your uploads lately ❤
So cool to see you be sponsored by mr pen! Lol I’m such a pen and hi-lighter nerd, they’re my go-to’s and I’m always giving them as gifts 🤣❤️ God bless you and your family, always🙏🏼💙
