Everything happens for a reason... and every day on our journey with god is precious! I am 53 now ... and when I look back on the years passed I can say with all my heart: GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES!!! Greatings from Italy
Jenna, never be ashamed, always believe in your dreams! No one is a failure, everyone matters in their own way, God has a plan, pray about it and he will open opportunities for you, be patient! God bless you both sending love from a Mother in Canada who followers your journey ❤️🇨🇦🥰🥰❤️
Jenna so wise and young. My children in your same age group are feeling this same way due to world, сountry and Covid events. Finland looks so peaceful. We live in the US where life is more fast paced and people have great expectations. I’ve told my children to relax, be still and know God has a plan for them. I can’t see you being anything but a wonderful person and successful. You share the gospel in a quiet way that people can relate to and appreciate. God bless you and Leonardo.❤️
Your diary is always so nice to watch, it's soothing like a balm for a spirit. Just remember it is never too late in life to try new things. You're still in the beginning od the road. Bests!
Wish I could hug you.
Opening up and being so honest.
Thank you for trusting us ❤️
If you take action with your dreams, you’ll find out sooner if it is for you or not. Better to try it, than to regret it the rest of your life. Go for it!
Dear Jenna, I'm not one much to comment on things, but today's video just reminded me of something a wise older lady told my husband and myself."she said kids the joy is in the journey "!
At the time I couldn't see how that was possible, but now that I'm older and have lived life almost 60 years....I see how we may miss out on all those joys in the journey trying to get where we wanna go...and not taking the time to realize how blessed where we are at this day in our life. We grow and stretch, we have up's and downs but in time we know who we are on the inside and by God's grace we become what he wants us to be.
Much love from a mom who has an only child a daughter!♡♡♡
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you, Jenna, for sharing your experience. I'm in a similar situation, and when I hear your story I feel I'm not alone. ❤
What a beautiful vlog. Don’t doubt yourself so much. You just got back from modeling in Milan and did a beautiful job. I agree with what you said when you opened up about wanting to model, it opened a door for that experience. Never give up on your dreams. 20 years old may seem old to you, but as a mom (45 years old) of a daughter who is 18, you are still young. Keep up the vlogs! I love them!
Jenna never be scared to tell others how you feel
I wish I could give you a big hug sometimes and tell you everything will be okay
Your words really touched my soul. Thank you so much. This was very inspiring.
Are you french ? :)
Jenna stay strong and study life and cultures - you will be amazed at what opportunities will be revealed by learning. Enjoy your winter bliss! Loved your video dear one! ❄️
You are so kind and gentle with your words ❤️ it's okay to be scared, and I think many of us are afraid and think we are too old for whatever we are pursuing, but that shouldn't stop us from trying. We will always know we did our best. Take good care :)
I understand completely Jenna. I enjoy watching videos and ty
Beautiful video... and your writing and voice is amazing... and thank you for inspiring so many people. ❤❤❤❤...
God bless you...
Your words are truly touched my heart ❤. Thank you...
Thank you for your sweet comment ❤️
@@JennaLicciardoToivola ❤❤most welcome ❤❤
I feel you, dear Jenna, I am 20 years old too and I am still looking for a good scholarship to study at the university while all my friends will get their Bachelor degree this year. Sometimes, I feel like my whole life is a mistake and that I am too late .... but I keep reminding myself that there is my dreams won't expire just because I am late compared to the average! We will shine at our own time and we will be greaaaaaat out of the box grandmothers honey 🌝🌝🌝
Yess!! Thank you for sharing!
You're motivated and you're radiating the same motivation to world out there. You already have a purpose Jenna. May all your dreams come true, wait patiently till the time God feels this is right for my child.
Jenna. Your incredible strength and faith shine through. I am so much older than you but I don’t think any wiser. Just seeing you and listening to you makes me feel safer in the world. You are a wonderful young woman and I am proud to know you. Your friend in Washington DC, Deborah
Jenna i love your channel ,i love it because you talk about what you love in the world everyone has a purpose in life but sometimes people don't know what their purpose is and religion is something that you thrust, you should follow what you believe in no matter what people say because their different and they have different faiths and path's
Lots of good thoughts, thank you jenna😊
I just love you two so much. Blessings from Canada 😘😘
Your words are true. It is better to try and fail then not try at all and live with regrets. You've turned your life and dreams over to God, now it's in His hands and will happen in His time. Sometimes He answers "no," sometimes "yes," and sometimes "wait." You are so beautiful inside and out.❤
Beautiful snow still not got snow on lower surfaces but up high mountains
❤❤❤❤ i love this vídeos
Hi Jenna, you are in such a beautiful season of life and when God is ready he will Open the door to what will be next for you 🤗
True! Thank you for your comment ❤️
God never exist ppl...I belive someday u will realise that his bullshit about God is simply a lie....Start thinking logic and learn more about science and evolution.
You're so cut. I'm 20 too, but I'm french. I have so much things to Say, but not have the words to. Just, thank you to be there, and to share your life. Love from France ! ❤️
Cute

You are so wise to be so young.
So much faith and love in you! 😇🥰❤ Thank you for sharing this to us! 👍👍Strongly believe in your dream like it has already come true! 👑
You’re so sweet and beautiful inside and out! The world is waiting on you. I hope GOD will start opening every door and every window. Therefore, I hope you step into each one. HE knows all. I think the hard part is waiting and being still with HIM. You are such a sweet beautiful soul and so is your husband. Powerful force when you are together! I hope the best for you both!
I don't understand how anyone could dislike this : (
One of my dreams is to build up my channel like you have built yours!

I never saw that much snow in my life... 😱🤣You know to trust in God and he will show you the right way and you will success❤️ never give up and just try... That is right... When it's not working, like you said than it is so 😊🌈
You are a wise young lady and you are beautiful inside and out xxx
Never let anyone stop you dreaming and moveing on. Don't stay in this minimalistic and simple world!
I am a dreamer too! My favorite verse having to do with this topic comes from Psalm 37
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
It was so interesting and comforting to learn that when verse 4 says He will give you the desires of your heart it doesn't necessarily mean that if you delight in God you'll get whatever you want. It means that WHILE you're delighting in God He will make what He desires for your life into your desire for your life too.
When He does that our whole life is joy and contentment :)
Keep praying and patiently waiting :)
God has planes for you and you place is here and now . Your so full of love and life .your a beautiful young women . God gave us you .🥰😍😇
I feel like I'm stuck in the moment and just go in a circle. I want to leave Germany but for that dream I have to learn a language and need money but that's not possible cause right now I can do nothing else than work and sleep. I hope it will change soon.
Your words of wisdom about waiting for God with your dreams spoke to me today. I am in my fifties, and this old girl learned a good lesson from you. Thank you and God bless you!
All feel the same at some point of their life though they have amassed enough wealth to suffice. It's human nature so let go and live in the present that God loves you will never fail no matter what.
Jenna, are you two moving to Australia with husbands family or staying in Finland? Love your videos and love you giving it all to God!
I got saved at 30. Wish I knew this at 20. Ur one of few.
Gods creation, beautiful!!
Ur only 20 years old, ur still a baby. You want everything to happen, quickly, for you. It doesn't happen like that. YOU have to wait. People don't start living their dream, not until, they are in their late 20's, or even, in their 30's. You just need to be patience.
My dream is to visit Finland 💜 I'm brazilian
God has everything under control, His timing is perfect. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video, you motivated me to be a little bit more brave and share my thoughts, dreams and feelings with the people around me. Can’t wait for the next video! 💛
It is not failing it is practice
😊
😘😘😘
Are use still going Australia
Hi Jenna 👍
Jenna, you are where The Lord wants you to be. He has matched you and Leonardo together before you were born.
Also you’re building up your courage and Faith by sharing about God/Jesus! We were created to Worship and make Jesus known. Now is the Time to Study The Word and be in prayer. Soon enough you and Leonardo will be as bold as The Disciples as on the Day of Pentecost and you’ll be sharing The Gospel without fear! Also Don’t forget that God has you in Finland for a reason! God Bless you both and keep your eyes on Jesus🙏🤗❤️
Covid has us all questioning but you must continue your quest for exploring career options. Consider volunteering, working in a hospital or helping w young children. Perhaps the library or writing would also provide opportunity. Perhaps a food bank, animal rescue or spending time at a woman’s shelter. There are jobs teaching English online(you don’t have to be teacher certified). It is never too late and until our world opens up again, Look for a purpose or a craft where you feel like you are contributing.
You. Both. Are. In. A. Good. Stage. Of. Life. America. Says. Enjoy.
You r alright just the way u r this day. Our Lord Jesus says live life simply.There is a saying, We work all our life, to lose it all so we should enjoy our lives as we go! You can’t take a Uhaul behind our hurst! So live simply and enjoy the journey!🇨🇦🙏🏻
You are beautiful and you live in a beautiful place and are married to a wonderful man that loves you believe in God and he will show you the way
JENNA..... What does Leonardo & yourself do for income?
TH-cam
You are twenty. That is not old for modeling, or any career. Don't give up on your dreams. Your husband needs to help you follow your dreams, and you his.
💗❤💗❤💗❤💗❤
Do use see your familys
have to say its so sad see such a young girl do really nothing for her future. I just wish you could see that leaving all in gods hand's is such a big mistake. I am sorry but in your age i was studying working part time and try travel as much i could. What are you waiting for why you not studying at least i just dont get you or your husband. When i look in Leonardos eyes i see sadness, pain and that he's totally lost. Just heartbreaking 💔
I think they could talk to a therapist, it will help then to know thenselfs.
@@psi.uxemillyma it would be nice to someone help them . My opinion is that its really Leo and Jenna parents who make them be like this. They didn't prepare them for life whatsoever.You can see how they struggling be adults. Dont take me wrong we all have to learn somehow and we all did many mistakes when we growing up but they are not living at the moment. I just see 2 empty souls struggling and leaving all to God's hands because thats more confittible then go live a life and explore what all the possibilities they have as young adults .
it’s great uou are trusting in God but think outside the box try different areas different countries being that he has dual citizenship with australia have you tried to look for agencies there
You are such a very smart young lady! Follow JesusHe will lead the way. It sounds to me like you are on the right track!
Who knows what god has planned for you and Leonardo, maybe it’s time to become parents????? You guys will make amazing parents!! What does Leonardo do for work?
He currently doesn’t work I think
worst idea ever have to say
Just be sure not to allow anyone in your life to close any doors that God has opened unto you!
God has the perfect timing always! He knows where you should be, so even though it is hard sometimes giving it all to God and letting it be in his hands is the best option!! 🤍🤍
Exactly ❤️
Hi Jenna,
that what I've written to you so far certainly doesn't sound very positive to you. But at least it is meant honestly. I believe that you should urgently create future prospects with a job. Either through a degree or an apprenticeship you should create a basis for a future. When your days are filled with work, life doesn't seem simple anymore. Unfortunately, you married way too early and then you married a man who isn't at all. I don't understand why you did that either, there was no rush. You should urgently work on your self-esteem, and self-esteem also comes when you are working or studying. With Leonardo by your side, you're trapped. Spread your wings and get out of this predicament. Become a modern, self-determined woman who fits in with this time.
Don't wait for the right moment or a divine input, because it won't come. Each individual is responsible for his or her own life, and no one takes this responsibility away from you.
With you I always have the feeling that you are shifting your personal responsibility on to God and waiting for a sign. It won't come. Just make decisions for yourself, otherwise you will still be in the same place in ten years. I honestly don't know what you are waiting for. It is time for action in your life.
In your life phase, you're usually very active and trying to figure out what you like. You are a good example of how a false belief is totally limiting. It doesn't help you, it blocks you. I also don't understand why your parents didn't give you more confidence.
You are currently limiting yourself and I think that's a shame. That's not how life works.
Only you are responsible for yourself and you alone determine your life, nobody else. You alone choose. Some things work out in life, other things don't work. Life is that simple.
As a recruiter and educator, I tell you that no employer will hire you if you share these thoughts with them. Then everyone believes that you are not living in reality.
If you are not able to manage the implementation of your professional wishes of your own accord, I would seek psychological support from a counseling center. There is no way that you do nothing and just sit around at home.
You always only like the comments of similarly confused people. So you will not escape this situation, if you only hope for approval, then everything stays the same. I'll say it quite frankly, I believe that you urgently need outside help because you don't see how much your life is in dire straits. Your approach to life is going nowhere.
By the way, the winter pictures of Finland are so beautiful.
I have been to her place... I wasnt married but I lived with my boyfriend so we could get married soon... he was not the right one but I couldnt see it at my 20... I broke up and I cannot describe how many things I managed to do in terms of studying, working, traveling, getting to know me and other people... God gives as signs. Always! But it is hard to tell ourselves that the current path we walk is wrong... Love you Jenna! Always enjoy your videos. I believe you have a talent in learning languages and vlogging!
I can agree a bit both of you about planning ahead stuff, building some self esteem BUT. I think marriage or having a serious relationship is not a thing that holds someone back. I'm happily married 3 years so far and doing my medical studies, I will finish next year. I have hobbies, friends and I'm sure she has them too. Being a wife is part of yourself I can't argue with that, but it is not the only job that you can do when you are married. This is kinda offensive to all woman. We can do many things at once and each as good as possible.
@@fureszzsofi i am glad you have a balanced life... its not very common I am afraid ( from what I have heard from people as I have met people from all over the world). Usually marriage takes too much of someones life and only good communication skills with the ither person can bring balance. I am hapoy for you!!!
@@fureszzsofi I agree with you, a good relationship is something valuable and precious. But look at him, I think that this guy has a lot of psychologic problems and is not able to do a job, he is doing nothing for a very long time. He took her home from Italy because he was jealous that she had sucess with her modeling job. Now she is sitting at home and waiting for „Gods plans“. Sorry, but this is stupid and childish. Everyone is responsible for his/her life. And working and doing studies build-up self-esteem.
Absolutely agree! Education is a key to success and fulfilled life. In Finland, where it’s for free, you should especially take an advantage of this. And it does not stop you from chasing your dreams. You can be a model and have a university degree and then you are always covered if your dreams fail. School / work also help with socialising, life is not as simple and boring then!
