Advancing God's Kingdom
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 A new season is here. As summer gives way to fall, school begins, schedules shift, responsibilities grow, and families settle into new rhythms. […]
“The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” — Psalm 121:8 A new school year is more than new schedules, sharpened pencils, lesson plans, dorm rooms, and backpacks. It is a new season of growth, discipleship, and opportunity. Whether your children are walking into a classroom, gathering around the dining room […]
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life” —Ephesians 2:10 It is that time of year again when families begin preparing for a new school season. Some are purchasing curriculum and school supplies. Others are reorganizing routines, setting bedtimes, and […]
Today we pause to thank God for His faithfulness over our nation. For 250 years, America has experienced seasons of great blessing, hardship, growth, and renewal. As Christian mothers, we have the privilege of teaching the next generation not only to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, but also to understand the responsibility that comes with […]
Welcome to June! Yes, I know we are already in the second week, but I felt compelled to give you a proper welcome into this month, one filled with joy, gratitude, and expectancy. June has been especially celebratory for our family. This year, we are witnessing not one, but two significant milestones. One of our […]
On Sunday, many of us paused to celebrate Mother’s Day. There were flowers, cards, hugs, phone calls, handwritten notes, brunch reservations, church acknowledgements, and moments that made us feel deeply appreciated. For a brief moment, the world slowed down enough to recognize the weight and wonder of motherhood. But then Monday came. The dishes were […]
What is a mother? I pondered this question deeply, not merely through the lens of biology or gender, but through the weight of her influence, the sacredness of her assignment, and the eternal impact she carries within the Kingdom of God. A mother. What is a mother? Before pouring out my heart, I searched the […]
Happy New Week to such a beautiful community, There are seasons when the Lord speaks with clarity, and there are seasons when He invites. This, I believe, is an invitation into revival, not only as we know it in our personal walk, but within the sacred covenant of marriage. Scripture reminds us that renewal is often […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
