Milena, thank you for this update. I’ll be honest - I haven’t been watching your videos (and I used to watch every single one as soon as they went live) because I just cannot relate to any of them anymore. I miss your vlogs, days in the life, tips etc because I just couldn’t get my head round as to why you changed your content. However, I absolutely love this update and totally understand, you’ve answered all of my “why’s?” Hope you and your family are well!
I’m a little sad from how much you’ve stopped sharing with us because I really felt like we were best friends as a community. I also know there are nasty people out there and we’re using everything you did/say against you and your family. That is what makes me sad. I miss the vlogs and the kiddos so much, it helped me through my early motherhood days. I just pray you and your family are flourishing and have joy and peace of the Lord. So much love to you guys 🤍
In today's society things have changed. There are insane people out there and she's protecting her family from these people. For an example there is this youtuber B Haney who is "supposedly" a Christian but slanders anyone and everyone in the Christian community. She speaks down on her kids and her family. People don't like that Milani speaks the word for what it is. She doesn't sugar coat it or misuse the verses to fit in with society.
I can’t believe I grew out of you and your videos 😢 I’ve been watching you since Aletheia was probably like 6 months. Eventually I started noticing the changes as they went on and slowly stopped clicking on your vids and now it’s a totally different channel than it used to be. Love your family and how much you’ve grown but I’ll support you from afar now 🤍
I wish the internet was always like this, being able to know when certain content is no longer for you without hate, leaving and wishing the best for the creator. You are no longer just part of their audience and that's okay (it is my case too). Thank you for putting it so respectfully.
Milena I can’t tell you how much your content has blessed me. Life changing. I cannot thank you enough for your obedience to the Lord. Though we’ve never meant, you feel like a best friend and push me toward the Lord daily! So much love for you!! 🤍
I think you shouldn’t have deleted your old videos… that was your testimony of how God transformed your life. Now it seems as if you were always this way which isn’t the case.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit can tell us to do things that don't make sense, especially if it was leading others astray. It's ultimately up to what the Lord was asking of her.
Having a random crazy stalker know exactly how to get from your back door to your childrens bedroom is definitely something to keep in mind, i love the no house tour trend, good job Mama!!
We all respect your privacy and you doing what’s best for your family, we just miss the more raw content. Me personally, I felt it was more relatable to see you being a mother, showing your parenting and real life, getting new routines and tips, learning more about what I could do differently or cleaning with your cleaning content, or vlogs of just you doing normal things. It felt more personal before and I feel like you’re just drifting off your platform and there’s no one out there with content like yours :/
It's so wise not to do house tours. The internet space is wild, and its safe to keep your home private. There are stories of people who do online content who've shared their home and been put in scary situations. Best to keep your family and little ones protected.
Lord I pray that you would bless her womb, that you would give her a baby when your timing is perfect, and I pray that you would help her align her will with yours and to surrender everything and all expectations to you, father. Children are a blessing and I just pray that she would get to experience that some day soon. I pray for a healthy future pregnancy Lord, Amen.
I’m only 20 seconds into the video and I’m just reading the comments about no house tour or whatever. I think we‘ve gotten so use to being shown so much of people’s lives like it’s expected. I like the shift in content, the simplicity of it and most of all it being rooted in Jesus.
I love how the lord is leading you! It’s beautiful to see. Will anyone seeing this pray for me?! I’m five weeks pregnant today (my first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage) so I’m worried but trusting the Lord!
Father God we ask you to bless Paige’s womb, that she will be able to carry and deliver this blessing baby full term. Please give her your peace and take her burdens. In Jesus name we pray amen!
Dear Heavenly Father, please keep this baby safe and sound and growing healthy in this sweet mamas womb, don’t let anything happen to it and bless the pregnancy and birth of this precious child, in Jesus name!❤
I agree with so many of the comments. Like the title says: "so much have changed"! This channel was always very relatable for any young couple/mother finding her way through life. A lot of us miss that relatable friend. But I do respect the call that your family is trying to be obedient to. Your call has inpacted many to watch your content and also be called to a higher standard. Sometimes it feels a little unreachable for the "normal" family. But you act as a higher standard of call now. May we all find the grace and dissipline to be obedient to the call. Love you always
You were the only “influencer” I followed and was really invested in 😅 but since you’ve been so private in everything but the word now I don’t care to follow on instagram or anywhere else, even your videos I mostly listen while I do my stuff. It’s kinda bittersweet feeling but I stay more off social media and I like that🥰
Ive been watching you since your 1st child was 1 and Im genuinly so happy to see you go from there HERE. watching the Lord just light you on fire has been awesome!!!!!!! I LOVE THE CONTENT SWITCH!!! watching your videos honestly is like sharpening iron for me and helping me to see the power of God through home making. I love your channel and will be following it as you follow Christ. thank you for having Christ first content. It keeps me completely in the Mind of Christ when I listen and keeps me in faith, like i don't feel like I'm outside of the life of faith when I watch you I'm completely in it and completely on track with the things God is working on in my life.
I’m the same way but I guess there are other content creators who you’d have to find who provide that. Someone with a similar vintage home style as Milena is Farmhouse on Boone!
Good on you Milena! You are perfectly right to prioritise your family over TH-cam. That’s your first ministry, you’d hate to look back with regret on these years cause you weren’t present with your kids. And personally I LOVE the shift in your content, I’ve followed you from the start and have so appreciated the godly change you have brought to what you share. Also totally respect you for deleting old videos that didn’t reflect who the Lord has made you today. Cheering you on and loving the videos lately 🤍🤍
Not at all surprised that you won’t be doing a house tour. I love how your content has shifted and how your focus has been on modesty- not just in how you dress, but what you share, not showing your kids, not showing your home, etc. So glad you’re back! ❤
@@rachelt8112 it’s the exact opposite of modesty. It’s boastful. Even if some people say that’s not their heart, I can’t think of a good reason to show your whole house for the whole world to see online. Then there’s the issue of privacy. No creep online needs to know where kids’ bedrooms are in the home.
I love your comment! I've been struggling in my channel with this and Milena is giving me a push overhaul it and dedicate it God and sustainable living. 🙏🤍
I miss the old content too but I appreciate the update. I only wish it came much earlier than this. I do understand you don’t owe anyone anything but I really appreciate when content creators are open to their viewers about current or upcoming change. I honestly haven’t watched much of your content in a long time because I too, cannot relate much. I respect the fact that you want to give your family the privacy they deserve. I do hope you can find an in between when your season of life allows it. I think a lot of us moms relate so much to content that’s a little more open, of course respecting your privacy and that of your family’s as well. All that to say, I hope G keeps working in your life as much if not more than He has been ❤
I understand Betterhelp is your sponser but I just want others to know that there are therapists in many areas and are likely close to you and many do evening appointments. You CAN find someone if you need to connect in person.
Milena, I just have to say this: you are so beautiful and I am so beyond proud of you and how faithful you are in serving God. It is inspiring to so many young girls and me.
🙏🏼🙏🏼😊, I know there’s a book called supernatural childbirth by Jackie Mize, when I read it the first time I was so shocked I didn’t know about the info at all I pray you read it it will bless you ☺️☺️
Milena I want to say I LOVE your new style of content! It's so wise, uplifting and glorifying to God. Seeing you grow and thrive as a homemaker is incredible and so encouraging for me! But also, like others here, I do miss your vlogs! I completely understand the desire to keep your kids off of the Internet and that's a very good thing! But the vlogs, day in the life, etc. were so fun to watch!
I’d love prayer for my upcoming birth of baby #3 in August .Specifically for no hemorrhaging or severe tearing and that I will be able to have a water birth 🤍
Lord we pray for Makayla and her pregnancy and the upcoming bith. We pray that you comfort her and give her your peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen!
Just realized you deleted your old videos!! Sadness! I know you've changed and grown, which is wonderful, but I loved so many of your older videos as well.❤️ I wish you the best and I've enjoyed following along.
I totally understand not wanting to do a house tour! You need privacy for your family and it is also a great way to practice modesty to not show off your house just like one would not showing off their body. Would love to see whatever little touches you are comfortable sharing, especially any things that help you cook, clean, and homeschool in a Christian lens.
Looong time follower here, I feel like I’ve been waiting with you for this move and I am so excited you guys finally got in your dream property where you have so many plans for. A little disappointed you’re not share the home, but I kind of expected that you wouldn’t. May God continue to bless you guys and give you wisdom to navigate this space.
Milena I can’t tell you how much your content has blessed me. Life changing. I cannot thank you enough for your obedience to the Lord. Though we’ve never meant, you feel like a best friend and push me toward the Lord daily! I’ve followed you since before you had Alethea! So much love for you!! 🤍
All these comments like ‘I miss the old content’ and ‘I miss the old Milena’… YA’LL SHE GROWS AS A PERSON! You cannot expect someone to stay the same as they where at 22… She is so wise to not share her kids/home, and these comments show exactly why. So much respect and love for you, Milena🤍
I have been watching you for over the last 5ish years and I just want to say it is so beautiful to see your growth and maturity! As believers and God followers we are SUPPOSED to change and become more and more different and your walk and the way you have grown is showing how God does that shifting within us. Also, kudos to you for discerning and listening to God giving you guidance on what it is that you are meant to show in your life and with this channel. Despite the negative comments and uncomfortability that people may be feeling about the shift, you are still bearing fruit and that’s what’s important 🙌🏾🫶🏾 rooting for you sis
Amen Milena! Love your new content and your approach to social media, so inspiring and brings your audience such peace. You are living out 'a gentle and quiet spirit.' Keep doing what you're doing!
I absolutely LOVE YOUR SWITCH for now even. But it’s been the perfect God given time for my life. Mannnnyyy topics you’ve spoke on have been in alignment with what Holy Spirit was already teaching me. God is surely using you. I respect taking the interment and media world very seriously with your children and their mental development and physical for that matter. All glory to God!
I am so proud of you for making adjustments to prioritize your growing family. I love that! You are setting the example for all of us to make sure our family is our first ministry. Big hugs.
Curious about what you ended uo doing with your old home? I know you guys had mentioned blessing a single mother with your home, do you have an update on that? 😊❤️
I started watching when you were pregnant with Ari, I miss those vlog days a lot. But I completely understand why you’ve stopped. I wouldn’t want my kids and my house plastered on social media and I can’t imagine how much time it would’ve eaten from your day. I will continue to hold out hope that you can resume vlogging like that when your kids are older, if you still want to that is!
I’ve been a silent watcher for a while now. Although I am no where near the season of life in marriage or motherhood, I really enjoy your content. Furthermore, I’ve enjoyed seeing your journey with modesty and it has shifted my mindset about modesty. Previously when I thought of modesty, I thought of an outward appearance. However, modesty is a process starting from the inside out and I see that from your videos. I of course miss the old content but I am finding a new beauty in this transformed content.
I think what a lot of you are missing in the comments is that her ministry as a mother, wife and homemaker comes first. Not us. If these are convictions for her, who are we to get in the way? Her videos may not be about her children/ life anymore but don’t we all love her because of her love for Christ? Which is what she is wanting to mainly share? I say hallelujah! Can’t wait to keep watching/supporting you girl ! God bless
I really love your new content, it’s unique, it’s refreshing and very calming. I think it’s beautiful that the work you do is evolving as you grow and mature as a woman. I’ve been a follower of yours for 6 years and honestly, it’s been a smooth transition for me, it did not feel like a big shift or something taking away, but more like a soft change and something added. I have become a mother myself and I really love this form of content. Praise the Lord for the direction He’s taking you! Love from France.
In truth, I’ve been loving the style of all of your videos. They bring so much peace and it feels a lot like talking to a friend to me ! Also, prayer request: my husband is preparing for a huge career change, that will ultimately put our family in a much better position financially than we are in currently. But it also requires us to only see him once a week for about 7 months. I have never been apart from my husband for long than his normal work day but never even 24 hours. So I am a little nervous about that, but just praying and trusting in both him as my head & the Lord to give me the strength and be able to sacrifice my own comfort for the sake of our family. So please keep my family in prayer 🥰
Praying for you, your husband and your family! I’m in a very similar situation right now so you’re not alone ❤️ praying God will give you peace and comfort throughout these changes
I miss your old videos, i haven't been watching your videos as I haven't been able to relate to the new you like i used to .. I wish you and your family so many blessings 🙏
Love this update❤️ you’ve grown soo much since I started watching your channel. It helps me look at life differently for when I’m a godly wife & mother. These shifts make perfect sense. I’m so happy you’re enjoying time with your family while discovering what you love. God bless🥰
Privacy matters. Especially when you have young children. I completely agree people get too comfortable watching and wanting to see other peoples homes. These people are not your best friends, but there is nothing wrong wanting to watch for tips or ideas or lifestyle changes. Good for you! That’s being a great mama.
You inspire me so much! I’ve been changing my content as well and it feels so hard to say the truth about the Bible, but we need to keep going. It is so inspiring to keep our life “hidded”and just be used by God. All the glory and honor is for him.
Prayer request! Preparing to move overseas to be a light for Him. Prayers for this season of preparation and that He would soften the hearts of the people I’ll encounter!
I have to agree that I miss the vlogs BUT Milena, I’m so happy for you and proud of you for following the Lord. You are seeking to please Him and not people. That is an awesome and beautiful thing. Congratulations in this new season! May the Lord bless you all ❤️
You always teach me to find or tap into “old skills” that still bring you joy and let you explore your creativity outside of social media, hang outs with people that may just waste your time, or anything else that will also take time yet not fill our spirit. Thank you 🩷
Milena!! I admire your boldness and just honor your strength as a mama and wife. You’ve taught me so much and continue to do so, your shift has been life changing for me and as for me, your current content brings me so much joy and new perspectives! Keep on fighting the good fight sister! ❤
I haven’t used better help but I see a counselor through my insurance. At first I went weekly, then every 2 weeks, then monthly. Now I contact her when needed. I am having a baby in September and my mental health is a struggle postpartum so I’m thankful to have her available when/if needed then.
I love everything about this! Fully support your decision on your home!! That must feel invasive esp to a space that is meant to be kept for you and your family❤️❤️
Girl I love your content and boundaries are 💯!!! You look great and congrats on the new baby, the house, and starting your Bible study! Always stay true to yourself 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Amen!
I love the healthy boundaries and respecting your children's privacy. I listen while multi-tasking and do not often look at the screen, so your value is definitely more than showing a room.
A prayer request: January 2024, hit a pothole and got a concussion. Was the closest I’ve ever been with God and starting serving at church. It’s months later and since the incident, I can’t stand for long periods of times and I can’t walk well due to balance issues. I don’t go to church often, I just watch online. Please pray that eventually I can get back to church in person or heal more than I have so far. It’s scary how much you take health for granted at times.
As a mom, I completely do not mind the kids in the background. I think it’s so precious to hear them. It’s like a FaceTime call. It’s real life. But I definitely understand the not wanting to talk to the camera and wanting to talk to your kids instead.
I’m so so glad you’re not doing a house tour!!! You will feel so much more comfortable and private and ahhh I just love this for you!! Milena, I am so happy for your amazing transformation over the years. I am super inspired to try to even come close to the closeness to God that you have. I just feel sick with how I am lacking of being in the word. I want to be more like you!!!
Thanks for all the content that really helped me at some point over the years. I really loved and learned so much from your mom blogs and routines. I see you deleted that content so I will have to move on as I’ve noticed the newer stuff isn’t for me. All the best for you and yours 🤗
Years ago I was pregnant with my first baby around the same time as you were and at the time found I couldn’t much relate. The other day I remember thinking I wonder how that TH-camr is that had her baby around the time I did. You popped up on the suggested today and what a blessing! Another young woman walking where I’m walking with kiddos similar ages to my own. God bless you guys, it’s just what I needed!
Milena, I really appreciate the role model you are to your TH-cam "fam" and the boundaries you set for the sake of your family. Keep up the good work! Also, LOVE the early morning Bible study ❤❤
I have watch your content growing up it was such a blessing. Some of your old videos like saving your self for marriage are still so important. Did all the old videos have to go?? It’s so sad!
Also I think we all miss the vlogs and family content but I can see WHY you wouldn’t want to post those things anymore with such a giant platform! Your families privacy and safety comes first and if people can’t understand that then oh well. You’re a light and inspo to all of us mamas ❤ happy for you and yours during this new chapter!
As someone who is trying her best to only watch Godly content, or none at all, I can always be ok with grabbing a cup of coffee and watching Milena. It convicts me, brings me closer to God, im not focused on what shes wearing, what her house looks like, what her children are doing but what is coming OUT of her mouth and HOW it can help my walk with Christ 🤎 may the Lord continue to bless you and use you as an instrument to help other women get closer to HIM ✨
There are thousands of mom channels showing “raw” footage of their families, but very few like the video journals you’ve been sharing lately. I really respect that you’re sharing less in the age of “anything for views” and “sharenting” content. Your viewership will change but in the best way. I hope we see a greater shift away from highly voyeuristic content in the coming years as I do not think it’s good for children. For those upset about taking her old videos down, just imagine being a child with a growing awareness that your early childhood is on the internet. Wouldn’t you be grateful if your parent decided to take it down? I actually feel much more comfortable watching your videos now that the kids aren’t a big focus and the messages you’ve shared have been really impactful in my motherhood journey. Thanks and may the Lord continue to bless your work and family!
I enjoy your content despite the changes, and I think it’s wonderful that you’re taking privacy so seriously! I totally get things change, but I am curious as to what changed in regards to gifting your previous home to a single mom/ renting it out to a single mom for an affordable price? Again, things change and I totally understand! Your plans to use your old home to bless a single mom had really stood out to me, so I was a little surprised to see it get sold, and comments about it deleted :/
I totally support the decision to shift content and do what you need to do for your family in this season. However, as someone who counted this as part of my “village” starting during covid, I find the channel less helpful to me in my parenting. I always watched for the mommy tips and the feeling of not being alone. Would appreciate if you would share some go-to content creators that are in the style of your previous content.
I didn’t watch the video but followed you for years. I think the Lord is slowly transitioning you out of social media space/youtube. So when the time comes - you’ll be more at peace about it.
Witnessing your sanctification process over the past few years has been so inspiring and a blessing to see!! The selfish part of me is so sad with such a dramatic shift in content it feels like a friend who is starting to pull away from the relationship. I’ve watched you since you were pregnant with alethea in your first house so I definitely just miss the vlogs but I completely understand feeling uncomfortable sharing that with four children that you want to respect their privacy! I would love to see some homeschooling content (how to from mamas side - not the kids) and maybe some gardening content too!!!
I love the new style of your videos! As a mom to 3 littles I can listen to your videos podcast-style instead of intently watching. I have been watching you for years and have recently come to Christ and you have been such an inspiration. Your videos on modesty & your change in your style have really convicted me. Keep doing what you’re doing 🤍
I’m not sure if you will see this, but I just have to say how proud of you for listening to the Lord in what he wants you to do with your channel. I’m sure it was hard in a way to take a step back from the content you were sharing before because it’s what people want to see and honestly, you probably made more money with your past content. But as you keep honoring God and listening to Him, you will be blessed beyond measure. ♥️ I love the little bits you do share with us and will treasure it because I know you are listening to God in what you are choosing to post online. ♥️
I was craving your christian enthusiasm and encouragement and I searched to watch an old vlog because I was really down and saw that you just shared a few hours ago. This is such an effective ministry and you are really making a difference in our lives. Please keep at it and keep sharing Milena.
I have actually started watching more of your content now. It brings me peace, and is very helpful in helping me keep my mind fixed on Christ! Keep up the amazing work! Proud of you Mama! Some people have grown "out of" and some people... like myself have matured spiritually and have grown into your content. The world will never understand the things that you are now talking about. But many of us are enjoying this new content❤
The way you carry yourself and speak has become so tender and gracious. Lord is doing a beautiful work in your heart. Keep pressing on ~ it is blessing your family, friends & online following. 🎉💗💗💗💗
I LOVE how your content changed. Now I feel like you give much more WISE information in a video compared to before ☺️ I used to watch your videos with pleasure, now it’s a JOY and I know that I will learn something after each video. Since I follow you I became a mama of two, I don’t have much time to watch vlogs, this is why I probably like more this kind of video that’s really IMPACTFUL. I feel like you pour so much into me Milena, thank you for sharing content and thanks GOD for allowing you to do it ❤ God bless you and your family
Prayer request! This will be my first week staying home with kids full time. Im a PhD leaving my job in Academia because my husband and I felt the calling for me to stay home and homeschool our 4 under 4! Prayers for peace and joy in our new life!
God is shaping you. Keep listening and adhering to the holy spirit. I totally agree with your decisions moving forward as a Christian mom myself in the same walk with God. God is calling us to stand out and stand up for Him and call others higher in love. God bless!❤
9 weeks until delivery of our 4th kiddo. Scheduled c-section . Experienced losses prior and just wanting us both to be healthy at the end of this-thanks for praying.
It’s so refreshing to see how God has worked in you to see how to use this as a blessing without hindering your family. The attention and the money can be attractive and blind people from seeing the needs of those in front of them vs the masses. Your ministry is a blessing to me. All the best.
I admire your dedication to your family and always seeking wisdom in each season to show up for yourself, your family and always giving God the glory! I'm so glad I've been here for years now and to see your changes and how OKAY that is... it's encouraging. Thank You for sharing your heart! You inspire me
Prayer request: I have had tinnitus for almost 8 months, (and with it, tinnitus distress. anxiety, depression) It has gotten so much quieter since it first started, praise God!!! But would love continued prayer for healing, or habituation to calm along quickly and naturally. Thank you!
This comment is kinda unrelated:: but your vanity is bondage video popped up and I have to say you are actually more beautiful today than that video.. I think less can be more when it comes to outward beauty and the beauty of your spiritual maturity is shining through. 😊❤️
I feel so depleted because I'm full-time mothering my 3 little ones and homeschooling, without parents, siblings for help... and basically zero friends--despite TRYING so hard and praying for friends. I'm so so happy you have community.
Although I know I speak for all of us when we say we miss you’re old content, I’m proud of you for sticking to with what the Lord has been putting on your heart. In the end listen to your convictions and always listen to what the Lord may be telling you. You have our support regardless 🤍! (Also you’re literally glowing😍)
Milena, thank you for this update.
I’ll be honest - I haven’t been watching your videos (and I used to watch every single one as soon as they went live) because I just cannot relate to any of them anymore. I miss your vlogs, days in the life, tips etc because I just couldn’t get my head round as to why you changed your content.
However, I absolutely love this update and totally understand, you’ve answered all of my “why’s?”
Hope you and your family are well!
I totally relate to this comment!!! 😢
I feel the same
I’m a little sad from how much you’ve stopped sharing with us because I really felt like we were best friends as a community. I also know there are nasty people out there and we’re using everything you did/say against you and your family. That is what makes me sad. I miss the vlogs and the kiddos so much, it helped me through my early motherhood days. I just pray you and your family are flourishing and have joy and peace of the Lord. So much love to you guys 🤍
In today's society things have changed. There are insane people out there and she's protecting her family from these people. For an example there is this youtuber B Haney who is "supposedly" a Christian but slanders anyone and everyone in the Christian community. She speaks down on her kids and her family.

I can’t believe I grew out of you and your videos 😢 I’ve been watching you since Aletheia was probably like 6 months. Eventually I started noticing the changes as they went on and slowly stopped clicking on your vids and now it’s a totally different channel than it used to be. Love your family and how much you’ve grown but I’ll support you from afar now 🤍
Same here. Totally agree.
I wish the internet was always like this, being able to know when certain content is no longer for you without hate, leaving and wishing the best for the creator. You are no longer just part of their audience and that's okay (it is my case too). Thank you for putting it so respectfully.
I miss those old days with the routines and vlogs!these were therapy!
Agreed
This!!
They really were 😢 they brought me so much joy, I can’t help but feel sad like I’m losing contact with a best friend or something lol
Same 😢
Milena I can’t tell you how much your content has blessed me. Life changing. I cannot thank you enough for your obedience to the Lord. Though we’ve never meant, you feel like a best friend and push me toward the Lord daily! So much love for you!! 🤍
I think you shouldn’t have deleted your old videos… that was your testimony of how God transformed your life. Now it seems as if you were always this way which isn’t the case.
Agree!
Sometimes the Holy Spirit can tell us to do things that don't make sense, especially if it was leading others astray. It's ultimately up to what the Lord was asking of her.
At all
Did she say she deleted them?
I just noticed this! I was so sad 😭
Having a random crazy stalker know exactly how to get from your back door to your childrens bedroom is definitely something to keep in mind, i love the no house tour trend, good job Mama!!
Yes this!!
We all respect your privacy and you doing what’s best for your family, we just miss the more raw content. Me personally, I felt it was more relatable to see you being a mother, showing your parenting and real life, getting new routines and tips, learning more about what I could do differently or cleaning with your cleaning content, or vlogs of just you doing normal things. It felt more personal before and I feel like you’re just drifting off your platform and there’s no one out there with content like yours :/
It's so wise not to do house tours. The internet space is wild, and its safe to keep your home private. There are stories of people who do online content who've shared their home and been put in scary situations. Best to keep your family and little ones protected.
Yes!
Prayer request; conceiving my child naturally. I want to be a mama so bad ❤ thank you
Prayed for you just now sister 🩷
Praying for you, and believing The Lord to provide you a beautiful, healthy, perfect baby in His time. ❤️❤️
Lord I pray that you would bless her womb, that you would give her a baby when your timing is perfect, and I pray that you would help her align her will with yours and to surrender everything and all expectations to you, father. Children are a blessing and I just pray that she would get to experience that some day soon. I pray for a healthy future pregnancy Lord, Amen.
I’m there right with you girl 😥 praying for you !!! ❤️
@@breannandcalebsame on this side 🫶🏽❤️🩹 prayers up for you sister
I’m only 20 seconds into the video and I’m just reading the comments about no house tour or whatever. I think we‘ve gotten so use to being shown so much of people’s lives like it’s expected. I like the shift in content, the simplicity of it and most of all it being rooted in Jesus.
Yes!!! ❤️ we love you milena!
Amen!!! So true sheesh.
Amen to this comment!!!
I agree !
Amen 🙏🏾
Any updates on if the old house is going to be blessed to a mother/family in need?
Yes, I’m curious of that too! I would do the same if we had an extra house
She did say that in one of her videos. I wonder if that happened?
Curious about this too!!
I love how the lord is leading you! It’s beautiful to see. Will anyone seeing this pray for me?! I’m five weeks pregnant today (my first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage) so I’m worried but trusting the Lord!
Praying for you in this moment, Paige! Blessings💕
Father God we ask you to bless Paige’s womb, that she will be able to carry and deliver this blessing baby full term. Please give her your peace and take her burdens. In Jesus name we pray amen!
Just prayed ❤️
Dear Heavenly Father, please keep this baby safe and sound and growing healthy in this sweet mamas womb, don’t let anything happen to it and bless the pregnancy and birth of this precious child, in Jesus name!❤
Praying for you ❤
I agree with so many of the comments. Like the title says: "so much have changed"!
This channel was always very relatable for any young couple/mother finding her way through life. A lot of us miss that relatable friend. But I do respect the call that your family is trying to be obedient to.
Your call has inpacted many to watch your content and also be called to a higher standard. Sometimes it feels a little unreachable for the "normal" family. But you act as a higher standard of call now.
May we all find the grace and dissipline to be obedient to the call.
Love you always
This feels more like an interview
You were the only “influencer” I followed and was really invested in 😅 but since you’ve been so private in everything but the word now I don’t care to follow on instagram or anywhere else, even your videos I mostly listen while I do my stuff. It’s kinda bittersweet feeling but I stay more off social media and I like that🥰
Ive been watching you since your 1st child was 1 and Im genuinly so happy to see you go from there HERE. watching the Lord just light you on fire has been awesome!!!!!!! I LOVE THE CONTENT SWITCH!!! watching your videos honestly is like sharpening iron for me and helping me to see the power of God through home making. I love your channel and will be following it as you follow Christ. thank you for having Christ first content. It keeps me completely in the Mind of Christ when I listen and keeps me in faith, like i don't feel like I'm outside of the life of faith when I watch you I'm completely in it and completely on track with the things God is working on in my life.
I totally understand but like girl I miss you decorating and opening up my mind you have so much character in your home and I need a little ummmffhhh.
I’m the same way but I guess there are other content creators who you’d have to find who provide that. Someone with a similar vintage home style as Milena is Farmhouse on Boone!
I miss the old vlogs and day in the life
Good on you Milena! You are perfectly right to prioritise your family over TH-cam. That’s your first ministry, you’d hate to look back with regret on these years cause you weren’t present with your kids. And personally I LOVE the shift in your content, I’ve followed you from the start and have so appreciated the godly change you have brought to what you share. Also totally respect you for deleting old videos that didn’t reflect who the Lord has made you today. Cheering you on and loving the videos lately 🤍🤍
Not at all surprised that you won’t be doing a house tour. I love how your content has shifted and how your focus has been on modesty- not just in how you dress, but what you share, not showing your kids, not showing your home, etc. So glad you’re back! ❤
What’s wrong with showing one’s home?
@@rachelt8112 it’s the exact opposite of modesty. It’s boastful. Even if some people say that’s not their heart, I can’t think of a good reason to show your whole house for the whole world to see online. Then there’s the issue of privacy. No creep online needs to know where kids’ bedrooms are in the home.
I love your comment! I've been struggling in my channel with this and Milena is giving me a push overhaul it and dedicate it God and sustainable living. 🙏🤍
I miss the old content too but I appreciate the update. I only wish it came much earlier than this. I do understand you don’t owe anyone anything but I really appreciate when content creators are open to their viewers about current or upcoming change. I honestly haven’t watched much of your content in a long time because I too, cannot relate much. I respect the fact that you want to give your family the privacy they deserve. I do hope you can find an in between when your season of life allows it. I think a lot of us moms relate so much to content that’s a little more open, of course respecting your privacy and that of your family’s as well. All that to say, I hope G keeps working in your life as much if not more than He has been ❤
I understand Betterhelp is your sponser but I just want others to know that there are therapists in many areas and are likely close to you and many do evening appointments. You CAN find someone if you need to connect in person.
Milena, I just have to say this: you are so beautiful and I am so beyond proud of you and how faithful you are in serving God. It is inspiring to so many young girls and me.
Prayer request: my husband and I have suffered two miscarriages. Praying for a healthy baby we get to keep here on earth🤍
praying for you!
🙏🏼🙏🏼😊, I know there’s a book called supernatural childbirth by Jackie Mize, when I read it the first time I was so shocked I didn’t know about the info at all I pray you read it it will bless you ☺️☺️
Milena I want to say I LOVE your new style of content! It's so wise, uplifting and glorifying to God. Seeing you grow and thrive as a homemaker is incredible and so encouraging for me! But also, like others here, I do miss your vlogs! I completely understand the desire to keep your kids off of the Internet and that's a very good thing! But the vlogs, day in the life, etc. were so fun to watch!
I’d love prayer for my upcoming birth of baby #3 in August .Specifically for no hemorrhaging or severe tearing and that I will be able to have a water birth 🤍
Lord we pray for Makayla and her pregnancy and the upcoming bith. We pray that you comfort her and give her your peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen!
Ahhh congratulations!! Praying for you right now 🙏🏼 I just had baby number 3 in May 😊 are you planning a home birth?
Praying for you!❤ Declare it mama!
Theres a book called supernatural childbirth by Jackie mize . It blessed me read it it will bless you ❤️😊😊
Just realized you deleted your old videos!! Sadness! I know you've changed and grown, which is wonderful, but I loved so many of your older videos as well.❤️ I wish you the best and I've enjoyed following along.
I totally understand not wanting to do a house tour! You need privacy for your family and it is also a great way to practice modesty to not show off your house just like one would not showing off their body. Would love to see whatever little touches you are comfortable sharing, especially any things that help you cook, clean, and homeschool in a Christian lens.
Looong time follower here, I feel like I’ve been waiting with you for this move and I am so excited you guys finally got in your dream property where you have so many plans for. A little disappointed you’re not share the home, but I kind of expected that you wouldn’t. May God continue to bless you guys and give you wisdom to navigate this space.
The oil on you is evident, your glow, your tone, sweetness 🥺🥺 loved watching your content change.
Definitely miss your old videos but “ if we dont change then we don’t grow and if we don’t grow we aren’t really living “ so live your life mama .
Milena I can’t tell you how much your content has blessed me. Life changing. I cannot thank you enough for your obedience to the Lord. Though we’ve never meant, you feel like a best friend and push me toward the Lord daily! I’ve followed you since before you had Alethea! So much love for you!! 🤍
I feel the sameee way 🥹✨💛💛
All these comments like ‘I miss the old content’ and ‘I miss the old Milena’… YA’LL SHE GROWS AS A PERSON! You cannot expect someone to stay the same as they where at 22… She is so wise to not share her kids/home, and these comments show exactly why. So much respect and love for you, Milena🤍
100%!!
I have been watching you for over the last 5ish years and I just want to say it is so beautiful to see your growth and maturity! As believers and God followers we are SUPPOSED to change and become more and more different and your walk and the way you have grown is showing how God does that shifting within us. Also, kudos to you for discerning and listening to God giving you guidance on what it is that you are meant to show in your life and with this channel. Despite the negative comments and uncomfortability that people may be feeling about the shift, you are still bearing fruit and that’s what’s important 🙌🏾🫶🏾 rooting for you sis
Amen Milena! Love your new content and your approach to social media, so inspiring and brings your audience such peace. You are living out 'a gentle and quiet spirit.' Keep doing what you're doing!
So much respect for how you were putting your family first! I feel so challenged/ inspired after watching your videos
I absolutely LOVE YOUR SWITCH for now even. But it’s been the perfect God given time for my life. Mannnnyyy topics you’ve spoke on have been in alignment with what Holy Spirit was already teaching me. God is surely using you.
I respect taking the interment and media world very seriously with your children and their mental development and physical for that matter.
All glory to God!
Prayer request: I am on the job hunt for something that will allow me to prioritize my family.
I am so proud of you for making adjustments to prioritize your growing family. I love that! You are setting the example for all of us to make sure our family is our first ministry. Big hugs.
Curious about what you ended uo doing with your old home? I know you guys had mentioned blessing a single mother with your home, do you have an update on that? 😊❤️
Why did you have to delete your old videos???😢
A lot of them were very helpful🫶
That's not the image she wanted to share anymore, plus it showed her children's faces
I started watching when you were pregnant with Ari, I miss those vlog days a lot. But I completely understand why you’ve stopped. I wouldn’t want my kids and my house plastered on social media and I can’t imagine how much time it would’ve eaten from your day. I will continue to hold out hope that you can resume vlogging like that when your kids are older, if you still want to that is!
The only thing that im offended of is-GIRL I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT YOUR FB MARKETPLACE LOOKS LIKE AND WHERE/ WHAT YOU DO WITH IT.
I’ve been a silent watcher for a while now. Although I am no where near the season of life in marriage or motherhood, I really enjoy your content. Furthermore, I’ve enjoyed seeing your journey with modesty and it has shifted my mindset about modesty. Previously when I thought of modesty, I thought of an outward appearance. However, modesty is a process starting from the inside out and I see that from your videos. I of course miss the old content but I am finding a new beauty in this transformed content.
I think what a lot of you are missing in the comments is that her ministry as a mother, wife and homemaker comes first. Not us. If these are convictions for her, who are we to get in the way? Her videos may not be about her children/ life anymore but don’t we all love her because of her love for Christ? Which is what she is wanting to mainly share? I say hallelujah! Can’t wait to keep watching/supporting you girl ! God bless
I really love your new content, it’s unique, it’s refreshing and very calming. I think it’s beautiful that the work you do is evolving as you grow and mature as a woman. I’ve been a follower of yours for 6 years and honestly, it’s been a smooth transition for me, it did not feel like a big shift or something taking away, but more like a soft change and something added. I have become a mother myself and I really love this form of content. Praise the Lord for the direction He’s taking you! Love from France.
In truth, I’ve been loving the style of all of your videos. They bring so much peace and it feels a lot like talking to a friend to me ! Also, prayer request: my husband is preparing for a huge career change, that will ultimately put our family in a much better position financially than we are in currently. But it also requires us to only see him once a week for about 7 months. I have never been apart from my husband for long than his normal work day but never even 24 hours. So I am a little nervous about that, but just praying and trusting in both him as my head & the Lord to give me the strength and be able to sacrifice my own comfort for the sake of our family. So please keep my family in prayer 🥰
Praying for you, your husband and your family! I’m in a very similar situation right now so you’re not alone ❤️ praying God will give you peace and comfort throughout these changes
I miss your old videos, i haven't been watching your videos as I haven't been able to relate to the new you like i used to .. I wish you and your family so many blessings 🙏
I do miss the vlogs but I understand you have to do what’s best for you!
Love this update❤️ you’ve grown soo much since I started watching your channel. It helps me look at life differently for when I’m a godly wife & mother. These shifts make perfect sense. I’m so happy you’re enjoying time with your family while discovering what you love. God bless🥰
Yes I love that your keeping your life private!! Keep it safe for your kids!
Privacy matters. Especially when you have young children. I completely agree people get too comfortable watching and wanting to see other peoples homes. These people are not your best friends, but there is nothing wrong wanting to watch for tips or ideas or lifestyle changes. Good for you! That’s being a great mama.
You inspire me so much! I’ve been changing my content as well and it feels so hard to say the truth about the Bible, but we need to keep going. It is so inspiring to keep our life “hidded”and just be used by God. All the glory and honor is for him.
I love the new content WAY MORE. But please don’t delete the old stuff, I do love rewatching that stuff too, and your growth
Prayer request! Preparing to move overseas to be a light for Him. Prayers for this season of preparation and that He would soften the hearts of the people I’ll encounter!
Praying for you ❤
I have to agree that I miss the vlogs BUT Milena, I’m so happy for you and proud of you for following the Lord. You are seeking to please Him and not people. That is an awesome and beautiful thing. Congratulations in this new season! May the Lord bless you all ❤️
You always teach me to find or tap into “old skills” that still bring you joy and let you explore your creativity outside of social media, hang outs with people that may just waste your time, or anything else that will also take time yet not fill our spirit. Thank you 🩷
Milena!! I admire your boldness and just honor your strength as a mama and wife. You’ve taught me so much and continue to do so, your shift has been life changing for me and as for me, your current content brings me so much joy and new perspectives! Keep on fighting the good fight sister! ❤
I haven’t used better help but I see a counselor through my insurance. At first I went weekly, then every 2 weeks, then monthly. Now I contact her when needed. I am having a baby in September and my mental health is a struggle postpartum so I’m thankful to have her available when/if needed then.
I love everything about this! Fully support your decision on your home!! That must feel invasive esp to a space that is meant to be kept for you and your family❤️❤️
Girl I love your content and boundaries are 💯!!! You look great and congrats on the new baby, the house, and starting your Bible study! Always stay true to yourself 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Amen!
I love the healthy boundaries and respecting your children's privacy. I listen while multi-tasking and do not often look at the screen, so your value is definitely more than showing a room.
A prayer request: January 2024, hit a pothole and got a concussion. Was the closest I’ve ever been with God and starting serving at church. It’s months later and since the incident, I can’t stand for long periods of times and I can’t walk well due to balance issues. I don’t go to church often, I just watch online. Please pray that eventually I can get back to church in person or heal more than I have so far. It’s scary how much you take health for granted at times.
As a mom, I completely do not mind the kids in the background. I think it’s so precious to hear them. It’s like a FaceTime call. It’s real life. But I definitely understand the not wanting to talk to the camera and wanting to talk to your kids instead.
Congratulations on your new home!
I’m so so glad you’re not doing a house tour!!! You will feel so much more comfortable and private and ahhh I just love this for you!! Milena, I am so happy for your amazing transformation over the years. I am super inspired to try to even come close to the closeness to God that you have. I just feel sick with how I am lacking of being in the word. I want to be more like you!!!
Thanks for all the content that really helped me at some point over the years. I really loved and learned so much from your mom blogs and routines. I see you deleted that content so I will have to move on as I’ve noticed the newer stuff isn’t for me. All the best for you and yours 🤗
Years ago I was pregnant with my first baby around the same time as you were and at the time found I couldn’t much relate. The other day I remember thinking I wonder how that TH-camr is that had her baby around the time I did. You popped up on the suggested today and what a blessing! Another young woman walking where I’m walking with kiddos similar ages to my own. God bless you guys, it’s just what I needed!
Milena, I really appreciate the role model you are to your TH-cam "fam" and the boundaries you set for the sake of your family. Keep up the good work!
Also, LOVE the early morning Bible study ❤❤
I have watch your content growing up it was such a blessing. Some of your old videos like saving your self for marriage are still so important. Did all the old videos have to go?? It’s so sad!
Also I think we all miss the vlogs and family content but I can see WHY you wouldn’t want to post those things anymore with such a giant platform! Your families privacy and safety comes first and if people can’t understand that then oh well. You’re a light and inspo to all of us mamas ❤ happy for you and yours during this new chapter!
As someone who is trying her best to only watch Godly content, or none at all, I can always be ok with grabbing a cup of coffee and watching Milena. It convicts me, brings me closer to God, im not focused on what shes wearing, what her house looks like, what her children are doing but what is coming OUT of her mouth and HOW it can help my walk with Christ 🤎 may the Lord continue to bless you and use you as an instrument to help other women get closer to HIM ✨
There are thousands of mom channels showing “raw” footage of their families, but very few like the video journals you’ve been sharing lately. I really respect that you’re sharing less in the age of “anything for views” and “sharenting” content. Your viewership will change but in the best way. I hope we see a greater shift away from highly voyeuristic content in the coming years as I do not think it’s good for children. For those upset about taking her old videos down, just imagine being a child with a growing awareness that your early childhood is on the internet. Wouldn’t you be grateful if your parent decided to take it down? I actually feel much more comfortable watching your videos now that the kids aren’t a big focus and the messages you’ve shared have been really impactful in my motherhood journey. Thanks and may the Lord continue to bless your work and family!
Are you going to update about giving the old house to a mother in need? ☺️
Yes i was hoping for an update on this too!! 🎉
Aw no tours 😢 I get so many home ideas and concepts from you.
Same. She was my favorite for house decor inspiration 😢
It was really an inspiration for minimalism and a lifestyle focused on a simple life with God. I was very sad
I think it's smart. Putting the inside of your house in that detail online is scary nowadays.
I know i loved the decor videos, i guess ill have go move on from her videos
Have a good life
There’s Pinterest for that lol
I enjoy your content despite the changes, and I think it’s wonderful that you’re taking privacy so seriously!
I totally get things change, but I am curious as to what changed in regards to gifting your previous home to a single mom/ renting it out to a single mom for an affordable price? Again, things change and I totally understand! Your plans to use your old home to bless a single mom had really stood out to me, so I was a little surprised to see it get sold, and comments about it deleted :/
I miss your daily routine vlogs with ur kiddos, 😞
I totally support the decision to shift content and do what you need to do for your family in this season. However, as someone who counted this as part of my “village” starting during covid, I find the channel less helpful to me in my parenting. I always watched for the mommy tips and the feeling of not being alone. Would appreciate if you would share some go-to content creators that are in the style of your previous content.
Kian Wolfgang maybe?!❤
Look up beth moore - she is great for that! :)
Have you taken a look at Loeppkyslife?
Second to Beth Moore!!! Became my new fave!
Kaci Nicole as well
I didn’t watch the video but followed you for years. I think the Lord is slowly transitioning you out of social media space/youtube. So when the time comes - you’ll be more at peace about it.
Witnessing your sanctification process over the past few years has been so inspiring and a blessing to see!! The selfish part of me is so sad with such a dramatic shift in content it feels like a friend who is starting to pull away from the relationship. I’ve watched you since you were pregnant with alethea in your first house so I definitely just miss the vlogs but I completely understand feeling uncomfortable sharing that with four children that you want to respect their privacy! I would love to see some homeschooling content (how to from mamas side - not the kids) and maybe some gardening content too!!!
I love the new style of your videos! As a mom to 3 littles I can listen to your videos podcast-style instead of intently watching. I have been watching you for years and have recently come to Christ and you have been such an inspiration. Your videos on modesty & your change in your style have really convicted me. Keep doing what you’re doing 🤍
I love voiceovers. As a mom with 4 kids & the 5th on the way, I completely understand this season of life you are in.
I’m not sure if you will see this, but I just have to say how proud of you for listening to the Lord in what he wants you to do with your channel. I’m sure it was hard in a way to take a step back from the content you were sharing before because it’s what people want to see and honestly, you probably made more money with your past content. But as you keep honoring God and listening to Him, you will be blessed beyond measure. ♥️ I love the little bits you do share with us and will treasure it because I know you are listening to God in what you are choosing to post online. ♥️
I was craving your christian enthusiasm and encouragement and I searched to watch an old vlog because I was really down and saw that you just shared a few hours ago. This is such an effective ministry and you are really making a difference in our lives. Please keep at it and keep sharing Milena.
I have actually started watching more of your content now. It brings me peace, and is very helpful in helping me keep my mind fixed on Christ! Keep up the amazing work! Proud of you Mama! Some people have grown "out of" and some people... like myself have matured spiritually and have grown into your content. The world will never understand the things that you are now talking about. But many of us are enjoying this new content❤
The way you carry yourself and speak has become so tender and gracious. Lord is doing a beautiful work in your heart. Keep pressing on ~ it is blessing your family, friends & online following. 🎉💗💗💗💗
I LOVE how your content changed. Now I feel like you give much more WISE information in a video compared to before ☺️ I used to watch your videos with pleasure, now it’s a JOY and I know that I will learn something after each video. Since I follow you I became a mama of two, I don’t have much time to watch vlogs, this is why I probably like more this kind of video that’s really IMPACTFUL. I feel like you pour so much into me Milena, thank you for sharing content and thanks GOD for allowing you to do it ❤ God bless you and your family
Prayer request! This will be my first week staying home with kids full time. Im a PhD leaving my job in Academia because my husband and I felt the calling for me to stay home and homeschool our 4 under 4! Prayers for peace and joy in our new life!
God is shaping you. Keep listening and adhering to the holy spirit. I totally agree with your decisions moving forward as a Christian mom myself in the same walk with God. God is calling us to stand out and stand up for Him and call others higher in love. God bless!❤
I LOVE the changes you have made to your channel and support whatever you feel is best for your family❤️ I really enjoy your videos
9 weeks until delivery of our 4th kiddo. Scheduled c-section . Experienced losses prior and just wanting us both to be healthy at the end of this-thanks for praying.
It’s so refreshing to see how God has worked in you to see how to use this as a blessing without hindering your family. The attention and the money can be attractive and blind people from seeing the needs of those in front of them vs the masses. Your ministry is a blessing to me. All the best.
I admire your dedication to your family and always seeking wisdom in each season to show up for yourself, your family and always giving God the glory! I'm so glad I've been here for years now and to see your changes and how OKAY that is... it's encouraging. Thank You for sharing your heart! You inspire me
We are hoping for some prayers on expanding our family
I miss the old Milena 😪 However I still enjoy your content. I understand why you changed, but many of us started following you since day one.
Prayer request: I have had tinnitus for almost 8 months, (and with it, tinnitus distress. anxiety, depression) It has gotten so much quieter since it first started, praise God!!! But would love continued prayer for healing, or habituation to calm along quickly and naturally. Thank you!
Just prayed for you!🩷
This comment is kinda unrelated:: but your vanity is bondage video popped up and I have to say you are actually more beautiful today than that video.. I think less can be more when it comes to outward beauty and the beauty of your spiritual maturity is shining through. 😊❤️
I feel so depleted because I'm full-time mothering my 3 little ones and homeschooling, without parents, siblings for help... and basically zero friends--despite TRYING so hard and praying for friends. I'm so so happy you have community.
So happy for you that you can spend so much dedicated time with your family! There are so many seasons to life. Thank you for sharing with us!
Although I know I speak for all of us when we say we miss you’re old content, I’m proud of you for sticking to with what the Lord has been putting on your heart. In the end listen to your convictions and always listen to what the Lord may be telling you. You have our support regardless 🤍! (Also you’re literally glowing😍)
