Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
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. […]
Patience is a spiritual capacity we develop by waiting for God’s best, resting in God’s love, and relying on God’s faithfulness. As we daily celebrate Jesus, let’s reflect on the fact that God modeled patience by not using his sovereign power to save us in a second. Instead, he came in the flesh. He started […]
The Thanksgiving season didn’t go quite how I planned after sending my son a text…”love to have you over,” and received no response. How quickly a hurt momma wants to just cancel the day and crawl into bed until the next day. Does this sound familiar? If so, I’m sorry. I would like to tell […]
This is part 2 of the Peacemakers Blog Series. Please read part 1 here While reading “When God Made You” to the little one, we came across this page and I learned more about peacemakers. Peacemakers are builders of bridges. They busy themselves with the ministry of reconciliation just like Jesus the Prince of Peace. […]
“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 […]

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 […]
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 mothers, we have the wonderful privilege of being our children’s first line of defense against diseases. According to an article on baby’s immune system development , “Antibodies are passed from mother to baby through the?placenta?during the last?three months of pregnancy.

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 […]
Do you find yourself not practicing what you preach? Sometimes, I do. While I do not criticize others for not practicing what I preach, it is hypocrisy to not practice what I teach or preach. Hypocrites do not practice what they preach. Before writing the blog post- What being a student and mom looks like […]
Sometimes, this is what being a mom and student looks like. Playing the piano while studying because the little one doesn’t want to drum alone. He thinks it is more fun to have a musical session with me…So, I had one hand on the piano and the other on my computer. I may not have […]
As I meditate on Proverbs 1:8-9, I do not only see my children’s responsibility, I also see my responsibility as a parent. My responsibility is to ensure the laws I put in place are good and will ultimately be graceful to them. God, our heavenly father does not ask us to do what he has […]
One of our most important roles as Christian mothers is helping our children grow into functional disciples of Christ. It involves so much more than just taking them to church on Sunday. We play a critical role in our child’s discipleship process; we are also responsible for evangelizing to our children. Having daily Bible studies […]

Mothers know how to nurture and pamper their children. This natural tendency often makes it difficult to rebuke or discipline our children. We do not want to hurt their feelings or break their fragile hearts. We want to be their friend and parent. What a difficult task! As the little one continues to assert his […]
If we don’t put fear in its place, it would put us in its place of defeat and hopelessness. Today, we have a guest post by Udeme Etuknwa-Achiuwa. Udeme loves Jesus and she is a mother holding up other mothers in faith. She shares how fear stole her peace when the pandemic began and decisions […]
