God is faithful. Over the past few weeks, I have had the honor and the privilege of meditating on the goodness of God. As we approach what many in the Christian community recognize as Good Friday, I want to invite you, daughter, wife, mother, steward, into a sacred pause. Not a passive moment, but a […]

Preparing the Heart for Spring Renewal
Welcome to March. We are standing at the threshold of a new season. Winter has done its quiet work. Beneath the surface, roots have been strengthened, hidden places have been tended, and what looked dormant has been developing unseen. Now, as spring approaches, we are invited to participate intentionally in what God is cultivating. Scripture […]
Covenant Love at Home
All throughout the sacred text, Scripture returns again and again to one word that governs God’s relationship with humanity: covenant. It is a word we recognize, one we often use fluently in Christian language, yet many of us have never paused long enough to let its weight settle into our homes, our parenting, or our daily […]
Rebuilding the Prayer Altar at Home
Welcome to the final installment of the Rhythms & Renewal Series, our focused journey into beginning the year with intentional alignment. Last week, we focused our attention on ‘Wellness for Women,’ a deeply personal and necessary conversation. This week, we shift our attention to something foundational for every believer and every household: establishing a prayer altar in the […]
A Winter Wellness Boost for the Whole Woman
Welcome back to the Rhythms & Renewal Series, which I prayerfully launched as an opening for the New Year. This series is designed to help us, as Christian mothers, establish sustainable rhythms that support our spiritual vitality, emotional steadiness, and physical well-being, because God’s design for us is wholeness, not depletion. Before I share what the […]
Rhythms & Renewal: A Call to Renew Our Parenting Patterns
Welcome back to the Rhythms & Renewal Series. If you have not yet engaged with the Christian Mommas Meditation, this week is a powerful invitation into renewal as we step into a new year. Sister Temi is guiding us into deeper levels of illumination through the New Beginning Meditation. This is more than a moment of reflection; it […]
Resetting the Home for a New Year
Welcome to the Rhythms and Renewal Series. As the New Year begins, it invites us into a sacred moment of realignment, an opportunity to reset the home, renew spiritual rhythms, and bring household influence back or deeper under Kingdom order. Scripture reminds us that meaningful rebuilding must begin with God: “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who […]
Yahweh Always Shows Up
In my last reflection, I shared how the Lord has been impressing upon my heart the importance of emotional intelligence in our spiritual growth. This is not merely a secular concept; it is a spiritual discipline, an invitation from God to steward our emotions in ways that align with His will. Emotional intelligence enables us to discern […]
A Holy Wrestle
There are moments in life when God invites us to look beyond the surface, not into a physical mirror, but into a spiritual mirror. These are sacred moments when the Holy Spirit exposes what has been hidden—old habits, buried emotions, and unseen roots that quietly influence how we think, speak, and respond. Sometimes, we only become aware […]
A Call to Discipleship for the Next Generation
Entering this fall season has been both beautiful and burdensome, filled with reflection, recalibration, and renewal. It’s been beautiful not because everything has been perfect, but because I’ve seen the perfection of God unfolding in the very areas that concern me (Psalm 138:8). As a mother of teenagers, I’ve been drawn deeper into the sacred responsibility of discipleship, […]
Discover the Heart of HomeFirst on YouVersion
Life can pull us in countless directions, leaving our hearts and homes feeling stretched thin. But what if God is inviting us to slow down, breathe, and realign our priorities with His perfect design? I’m excited to share my newest YouVersion Bible Plan, HomeFirst: Finding Balance, Embracing Ease, and Living a Christ-Centered Life. This 3-day devotional is […]
Jael: A Gentle Warrior – A New YouVersion Bible Plan
The season is ripe, and I believe the Lord is raising up warrior women like Jael, for such a time as this. In a world where courage and quiet obedience are both needed, Jael’s story reminds us that God often calls ordinary women to accomplish extraordinary victories. I am thrilled to announce that through our partnership […]
Mercy in the Midst of Repentance
As we enter the final month of the third quarter of 2025 and the close of the Hebrew year 5785, I can’t help but reflect on the duality of this season, both deeply transformative and painfully revealing. In my study of Nehemiah, I’ve been drawn into a greater understanding of mercy, not only as a […]
Abide in the Vine
“I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5 (NASB) I have read this passage of Scripture many times over the years, but recently it struck me in a new way. Jesus’ words […]
Mercy for the Waiting Heart
One beautiful morning last week, as I prepared for my routine time of Bible devotions, I sat down at my cozy spot, coffee in hand, ready to continue reading in the Book of Nehemiah. As I read, I felt a tug in my spirit to revisit a passage that one of my mentors had gently […]
Back-to-School Prayers for a Calm and Inviting New Year
As I’ve been reading through the book of Nehemiah, I’ve been struck by the image of a people preparing to rebuild, not just walls, but hope. Nehemiah didn’t rush into his task; he prayed, planned, and worked with a mind to build (Nehemiah 4:6). In many ways, stepping into a new school year feels the […]
The Duality of Destruction and Spiritual Depth
It all began with Nehemiah. It was a quiet morning, and I was returning to the book of Nehemiah, a familiar place I go when I sense that something is being built or rebuilt within and around me. Whether it’s reconstructing personal rhythms, parenting with renewed intentionality, or stewarding fresh assignments, Nehemiah always seems to […]
When Logic Falters: Trusting the God Who Transcends Sense
When the Lord unveils His plans, we often receive them with awe—our hearts race, our imaginations expand, and for a moment, we believe that anything is possible. But then, something happens. We begin to calculate. We weigh the details. We search for the “how.” And before we realize it, we’ve filtered a divine promise through […]
Wisdom: A Weapon of War
We live in a world that often mistakes loudness for leadership and reaction for righteousness. But what if the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare isn’t noise or force, but wisdom? I’m thrilled to invite you to one of Christian Mommas’ newest 3-day Bible plans on YouVersion titled “Wisdom: A Weapon of War”, inspired by the blog […]
The Complexities of War: A Call to Continue in Peace
I don’t know about you, but I am an avid believer in the truth that there is always more to learn. Over the past few months, I’ve been deeply drawn to study what it means to navigate the terrain of life during a time of war—not just political or physical war, but also the wars raging in […]
A Mother’s Wisdom
On my heart today are the beautiful mothers raising sons, those entrusted by God to shape future leaders, servants, and kingdom-minded men. As I reflected on Proverbs 31:1-9, the words King Lemuel recalled from his mother stirred me deeply. This wise mother imparted timeless principles to her son that still resonate loudly today—principles we must […]
You Are Royalty: An Invitation to Live as a Royal Priesthood
A few days ago, I made a post after my imagination was running wild, and I began to write. I began to imagine ROYALTY like I never realized before. Then, all of a sudden, my heart broke as I realized the royal story that was coming to mind is true, and it is a storyline straight from […]
A Mother’s Day Wellness Reminder
A Call to Care for Your Mind, Body, and Spirit Dear Christian Momma, This Mother’s Day, I’m inviting you to schedule wellness. You see, wellness is an important aspect of stewardship, and it entails more than just a moment of self-care—it’s a ministry. A model. A message. What if the way you care for yourself is […]
A Month of Beauty, Breakthrough, and Blooming Boldly
Welcome to a New Month! Welcome to the month that bursts with beauty, fresh energy, and heartfelt celebration. May is when we pause to honor mothers—those present, those dearly missed, and those who mother in spirit and strength. It’s the season of wrap-up and renewal: for those of us with school-aged kiddos, we’re entering the […]
The Wisdom of the Wise Woman of Abel: A Warrior’s Strategy
Over the past few weeks, I have contemplated the concept of walking as “Lady Wisdom.” Reflecting on the roots of wisdom, I often cite the book of Proverbs, which teaches that a wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands (Proverbs 14:1). This verse took on new meaning when […]
