Coming here so that Milena and God can convict me. I suffer from overwhelm, where I don’t want to do anything. I have been praying for God to rid me of my laziness. I’m not a slob or anything, but I do feel I have more potential. Praying for anyone who suffers the same. 😊

what you said about not complainig about tasks that you have to do to take care of your children and your family, and instead always be grateful, is so true! my mother was always complaining about everything, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and including taking us to school, even though we were excellent students, and it always made me feel like she didn't love me and my sister and we were a burden. it's been hard to get over it but i hope with my future children i will be different. thank you for your video

I believe that the more I give out, the more God can renew in my life. So i constantly donate old clothes, shoes, toys. Because Im signalling God to replenish what we no longer need and to provide us with what we do. And yes having less things to manage and tidy up, the more convenient for me. Ultimately though, just being a blessing to someone else is such a great feeling.

I’m a first time mom, staying at home after being in the workplace for 4 years, and have been struggling with purpose and contentment. I’m part of a Bible study at church, going through Ecclesiastes. I’m in the midst of working through these struggles and feel God changing my heart dramatically. If anyone feels led, please pray for me! Thank you, Milena for your practical yet incredibly meaningful advice.

This video is so good that I just hit “download” on it! I agree with every point you put there, and try my best to follow them similarly. We do things in a similar way, and I find that hearing it from another woman, mother and home maker does impact me greatly. Also, it keeps me motivated as I feel I am not alone in this! So many people tell me “you do too much”, “you should do less”, “it’s not necessary to clean and plan so much”… and so and so. These comments do put me in a state of discouragement, and feeling that I am wrong about choosing to put my energy towards home-making. But I do know this is just a temporary feeling I get when I hear these comments, as I find joy having my home well cared for. I think you are beautiful and inspiring as a woman. ❤ Blessings to you and your family!

Ok so I’m an NDEr and I’m kinda different from mainstream Christianity but I sing and pray In The Spirit and I focus a lot on Messianic Judaism and I used to speak in spiritual tongues to Milena and I do art. I painted a beautiful rainbow today for the future of our kids. And I wanted to let you know thank you! I learned a testimony that you can eat rainbow foods during pregnancy for the promise! It makes me feel healthy and happy. I am hoping for my first baby soon. Me and my husband are trying.

Something I feel compelled to add is when she says things like picking up rooms takes no more than 5 minutes is probably partly because it's done consistently but also because it's become routine and things that ARE routine we don't think about and they happen automatically and therefore take little to no time. But if you're just starting to add something new to your routine, it WILL slow things down a bit until they become "routine" and that's ok 💕 Such helpful reminders in this video. Ones I really need with the addition of a third baby on the way 😬

When I have been struggling with it! I Literally was talking with my Husband about This ,This Morning! When also talking about Having Christ Like Characteristics and Reflecting Him to those around us! I do have a morning routine and evening routine to a point. I struggle with getting distracted by KZbin at times! Praying continually to really limit,being real honest here! I enjoy Homeschooling my teenagers, Cooking,Baking, Keeping House! I Keep thinking I need write a specific schedule for each day, though I am a list person! Can’t do any of this without Jesus! Milena or Myself are not religious! Either was Jesus! That is why He was Hated! Still why some people today don’t want anything to do with Him!

How and when do you find time to rest? I find that there is enough work between household chores and taking care of the kids to take up my whole day and a good chunk of time after kids are in bed. I get so tired/overwhelmed that I really need a break, but when I take the break, things don’t get done! But once I sit, it’s so hard to get up again until I have to. How do you lean on the Lord when your energy runs out?

One of the things I tell myself all the time, whether with housework, health, or things with the children is: “Pay now, or pay later, but either way you still have to pay! And usually if you wait, you pay with tax!” Basically, you can clean it now, or you can clean it later when you’re exhausted. You can steward the children now or pay for not doing it later. No matter what, you never really get out of doing the work, so do it properly and up front.❤
