Today, I am taking a moment to celebrate and support my sister in the faith, fellow momma and blogger- Alicia. While I am yet to meet Alicia in person, I have met her virtually. However, this pales in comparison to the strong spiritual connection we share. The blood of Jesus flows through our veins. For […]

Mindfulness Devotional
This reading plan was written for such a time as this. We need love, empathy, and a strong awareness of God’s presence, amid persecution. I had a strong urge to write this plan and I got it done by God’s grace. 7 doctoral courses, 2 little ones and more… and I have not lost my […]
Equality Act?
Did you read the equality act? I read it because I like to conduct personal research instead of being programmed by the media. It takes few minutes to read it. It is interesting that bill is titled “equality act” while the bill seeks to suppress religious freedom to disagree with proposed gender ideologies. It is […]
I Thank GOD
Today, I am thankful for my salvation. It is a great privilege to belong in God’s family, to be fathered by the creator of the universe, to be loved and held by God. Having a relationship with God grounds me and keeps me centered. It is transforming me. It has given me a purpose and […]
I am Mindful of You
I am currently writing a paper on mindful parenting from the moment of conception. So I thought to take a moment and remind you that our Father in heaven is always mindful of you. He was mindful of us before our conception and He will forever be mindful of us. God, the creator of the […]
The Little Ones
In Luke 18:16, Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who are childlike. Jesus’ statement implies that the little ones around us can help us understand the faith life and God’s heart. In The Little Ones devotional, I drew a parallel between the life of faith and early childhood. You will learn how […]
Celebrating Friendship
Posted this on my personal Facebook page, so i thought to share here as well.. I don’t have words to describe how I felt seeing my dear friend rock a shirt I designed. I am blessed to have this lady in my life (Proverbs 18:24).. You can purchase this shirt and other gifts for expectant […]

What’s Your Child’s Love Language?
What’s your child’s love language? My favorite behavioral and developmental model is the DIR model. DIR means Developmental, Individual-Differences, and Relationship. The DIR model considers individual differences (the strengths and weaknesses of an individual) when developing an intervention plan. Our children’s love languages are individual differences we must consider in our parent-child relationships. For example, […]
UnAborted
You are reading this today because I was not aborted by my late mom despite external pressure. To me, abortion is personal and it is a matter of faith. My views on this subject is not based on politics or popular opinion. This post is for the mom considering aborting her unborn due to financial […]
Being Non-judgmental
Mindfulness is a way of life. It isn’t just something we do 15 mins or 1 hour every day. Mindfulness is being non-judgmental. This way of life emerges between ages 4 to 6. This means we all have the capacity to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is when Josh says or thinks “Maybe Friederike does not want […]
We Cried
Mindfulness is being present. I have a 2-month-old. He received some shots recently. The day he received his shots, the shot sites suddenly became more uncomfortable and painful. So, he started crying. I had a lot going on..school work, business, etc. Yet, I told myself they would have to wait. I decided to be present- […]
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the key to emotional and spiritual health. It is essential for thriving in systems that resist diversity and social equity. If we want stronger families, relationships, organizations and communities, we must practice mindfulness. How can we use mindfulness to accomplish these things, boost our self esteem and work performance? How can we practice […]

God’s Purpose For Women
Originally posted on Bethany Munson:
The last two years, I felt a need to address how people view women and Gods purpose for them. There is a lot to say in this so I’ll try to sum it up as best as I can. God has indeed created a beautiful calling for women to be…
Foxe’s Book of Martyrs
Foxes book of Martyrs is a long but important read for this age. Amber of Fish Full Life brought this book to my attention. I glanced through it and my heart was touched by the stories of those who died for the gospel. Some died so we can easily access the Bible today. May I […]
Terrible Twos?
Some call two year olds “terrible twos” because little children strongly assert their independence at this age and this can be difficult to manage. I choose to call this stage the “thrilling twos” and intentionally speak life over the little one. This is one practical way to practice mindful parenting and thrive this stage of […]
Mission First
More than ever before, we must reach out to the lost world. The current pandemic is not an excuse. As I think of fellow believers in underground Churches, Bible smugglers and those who go on covert missions to share the gospel in dangerous places, I see the current pandemic as a test of our ability […]

It was impressed on my heart to share this with you all. Join me in praying. The persecution will not end, but we have victory. Matthew 5:11(NIV) ~ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” Please take a moment and pray. […]
Let’s Go Fishing
Do you see what I see? Can you sense what I am sensing? We are in the last days. Disguised as freedom, wickedness is becoming a norm and many are being deceived. The world wants us to be selfish in the name of happiness and mothering is being presented as bondage. The love of many […]

Unforgettable
It is nearly impossible for a breastfeeding mother to forget her infant. She is the source of food and comfort for her little one, and her breasts keep her connected to her little one regardless of the distance. While seeking God’s heart concerning an issue two weeks ago, Isaiah 49:15 was impressed on my heart. […]
Etsy Shop
From April to December 2020, my search for an artist to turn my ideas into artworks was unsuccessful. Every ‘no’ was disappointing. I wanted elegant cards and wall arts that would provide encouragement for moms and families. In the final week of December, I decided to create some of the artworks myself and I succeeded. […]
