Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
“Don’t throw”, the little one reverberated my words to me. I thought his words were simply a reminder for me to practice what I preach. I was wrong. Within few days, I started learning about Peacemakers and the destructive nature of offense and bitterness. God’s Word cleansed me, helped me overcome the spirit of offense […]

Staying thankful is humanly impossible. However, God instructs his children to be thankful in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Few days ago, I almost stepped into the danger zone of murmur (Philippians 2:14). In the middle of little messes, it is easy to forget how blessed we are. Thankfully, I was able to count my […]
It is Veterans Day here in the United States. To all military veterans, thank you for your service! Your fight for freedom will not be in vain. I consider it a great honor to have served in the United States Army. Although I enlisted to serve because of the benefits, my purpose changed once I was […]

Still in the spirit of celebrating veterans. This post was inspired by my husband while reflecting on a military documentary we watched, No Greater Love. My time in the military was filled with more ups than downs. I learned to value the civilian life, humility and the power of community.…
The third trimester marks the final stage of pregnancy. The excitement to see the baby is usually stronger. Excitement, a bigger baby bump, and pressure on the pelvic bone can make one tired of being pregnant.. The baby is almost here, but the day and time are unknown for many mothers without a scheduled cesarean […]
Recently, I gave someone the middle finger. My family slowed down while entering a circle or round about, as a courtesy to allow another driver pass through. The driver behind us honked at us within seconds. I found it irritating. I turned around to look at the honking driver and she gave me the middle […]

Recently, I stumbled on a movie ad and the word ‘sensitization’ was impressed on my heart. Within a minute, I could see how our little ones are being conditioned to accept witchcraft and unbiblical ideologies. I saw everything God hates being subtly normalized through entertainment. Sensitization refers to a change in emotional, neurological, and behavioral […]
As we exercise the right to vote for the future of our children in the United States- born and unborn, let’s mind the state of our heart and attitude towards those whose beliefs and perspectives about the upcoming election differ from ours. Do you cringe when you see President Trump or former Vice President, Joe […]
Hello friends, Check out the devotionals I wrote about beating Covid-19 while pregnant. I learned a lot and grew in faith during my recovery process. My momentary trial has worked and is working for a far greater good. Be blessed as you read! But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for […]

For the first 3 to 4 years of life, little children predominantly function with their right brain (more emotional side of the brain). It takes a while for the left brain (more logical side of the brain) to catch up and start communicating with the right brain. For this reason, little children predominantly live based […]
For the first 3 to 4 years of life, humans predominantly function with their right brain (more emotional side of the brain). It takes a while for the left brain (more logical and reasoning side of the brain) to catch up and start communicating with the right brain. For this reason, little children predominantly live […]
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. This serves as a reminder for us to be mindful when comforting grieving parents. I do not know what it feels like to lose a child; I only know there is a God in heaven who understands grief, pain, shame, and every feeling that may come with […]
Like one who has lost her soul, I ran away from the one I love. I just could not take it anymore. My body wanted to rest, but a little human was in the way. So, off to the closet I went with my blanket. The quiet and freedom from the needs of another human […]
As we go about the week, let us remember to place God’s Word before our eyes and in our hearts. The Bible, God’s Word is our guide. We cannot live a purposeful and love filled life without studying the Word. We should never forget that some people laid down their lives in order for us […]

Have you being feeling offended lately? I have. Every time I see individuals or groups advocate for policies that are detrimental to the lives of children and the family unit, I have found myself feeling irritated with strong negative emotions towards those people. I found relief after speaking out about my struggle and I allowed […]
This song- “The Voice of God” reminds me that God speaks and He does not make it difficult for us to hear. We just need to listen. I can remember feeling uncertain about a situation few months ago, then the little one suddenly started singing “standing on the promises of God”. That was the first […]
Constipation seems to be common in early childhood because many children do not like to drink water or eat a balanced diet. Parents like myself have to figure out ways to keep our little ones hydrated and ensure they eat a balanced diet. Watching a constipated child try to have a bowel movement is not […]
