The main reason why I started blogging is to encourage and teach the Word of God as the Holy Spirit leads. Blogging also helps me to improve my writing skills and to meet other bloggers from all over the world and to learn about the cultures…
Some cities have begun the process of reopening schools. Many people are fearful. Prayer helps us to let go of what we can’t control and embrace the peace of God. God, we pray for a hedge of protection around students of all ages. We pray for the little kids who are too young to understand […]
I get asked all the time, āHow do you find time to take care of yourself while raising 5 little ones and homeschooling?ā Truth is, we make time for whatever is important to us. Our physical bodies need attention just like souls do. If we want to be healthy spiritually, we need daily nourishment through […]
Just like good parents do not like to keep record of their children’s wrongs, God does not take pleasure in keeping record of our wrongs. God is more willing to forgive and desires a relationship with us. Fellowship is the heart of the father. God is far greater, loving, patient, and enduring in mercy than […]
Galatians 6:7~ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. In other words, “What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you”. I experience this in my life and I believe there are many who can attest to this principle. For every parent […]
Parents of little children provide almost everything needed to keep their children alive and healthy. Clothing, shelter, food, and everything essential. We all came into the world naked and dependent on our parents/caregivers. Despite being the little one’s “provider”, I get excited and feel honored when he decides to share his food or anything with […]
This post is in response to my sister- Temiās post about prenatal yoga. It is by no means written to hurt or offend anyone, but rather to share the truth as it has been revealed to me in scripture. I briefly mentioned my thoughts on yoga in the comments section of the abovementioned article. But […]
Growing up, superman was one of my favorite superheroes. He had superpowers and he maximized it by protecting communities. Christians have the ultimate superpower, the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) and this power is not just available for our personal use. The life of a Christian is not meant to be about “me, myself and I” […]

Are we applying this power to the little ones we love and hold dear? Have you ever prayed words of Scripture over your children? This mother does. ā A couple of years into her marriage, my daughter shared with me a series of Bible verses that she faithfully compiled together…
Please share your thoughts on prenatal yoga and yoga generally. I am a perinatal consultant, trained postpartum doula and New Parent Educator, so I get to work with families before and after the birth of their babies. While networking with birth professionals, I came across Kundalini yoga and meditation. I did a little research and […]

Each time I have the opportunity to interact with Temi it is a blessing for me. I am so proud of all she has accomplished in her life through Jesus’ strength and help. One of her accomplishments is her wonderful blog christinamommas.com. Today she shares what inspired her to…
Okay, this “way maker” song has been on repeat play in my house for days. Today, the little one has been glued to it. We dare not turn it off, if we do not want to hear a high pitched scream. I was about to turn it off after considering the negative impacts of excessive […]
Dear friends, The mental wellness of children and parents has always been dear to my heart. In fact, this blog community was created to provide spiritual and emotional support for parents and future parents. In addition to blogging, I now provide perinatal, infant, and early childhood mental health consulting services on littleonespiecmh.com. Please read the […]
You didnāt fail as a mother. Not even a little bit. You could not have prevented this if you tried harder, prayed harder or was a better mother nor if you loved harder or wasnāt so hard on them neither not hard enough. Your child has free mortal agency meaning they have āfree will.ā In […]
Almost every new mom says “I did not know I could love someone this much”. This same love can turn a mother without combat skills into a fierce warrior when her child is in trouble. Love is what makes many mothers quit bad habits that could potentially hurt a child in their womb. For love […]

I wrote a 2019 final post but it was not published due to mommy duties. It ended up being deleted. Little children have a special way of throwing their parent’s plans out the window. The little one has interrupted my plans countless times. Now, I make plans with consideration and…
Half the year is gone, just like that! The current pandemic definitely changed many things about how we do life. It revealed the weaknesses in all systems and the fragility of life. While assisting the little one up the stairs yesterday, I was reminded that we would always need God. We will never be self […]
Every morning, I welcome the little one into a new day with a big smile on my face. I always get a smile back. Every morning, God welcomes us into a new day with new mercies. That’s the biggest smile I can think of. Receive God’s love and mercy, He extends them to you because […]
Simply dependent Simply vulnerable Simply trusting Simply loving That’s what I want to see when I interact with the little ones all around me. Beyond and greater than those “problem behaviors” is their need for guidance. Like a sheep simply in need of a shepherd. I choose to stay childlike in my relationship with God. […]
As I watch the little one sleep peacefully, my heart is filled with joy and gratitude. I miss him more when he goes to sleep, but I also look forward to him going to bed. I am thankful for the little one. He is a precious gift from God. God uses him to help me […]

The little one has developed new habits. He randomly screams like he is trying to say something or sing (my husband thinks the little one is testing the functionality of his vocal cords). He wakes up in the middle of the night for ‘playtime’ (this is perhaps due to frequent…

I’m the mother of an abused child.Ā While the abuse happened outside my home and far from my view or awareness, it often feels as if I carry full responsibility. I struggle with guilt and, if I’m honest, sometimes I struggle will condemnation. Ā These things aside, however, I can look…
Two years of loving, learning, and growing perfectly sums up my motherhood experience so far. LOVING: Two years of pouring out my love on the little one and other children. LEARNING: Two years of learning from the little one, for the little one and every child in the world. GROWING: Two years of spiritual, mental, […]
My son will be 21 years old this month and as much as I look forward to this new phase in his life, I canāt help but grieve for the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Joao Pedro and countless others who will never get to see their sons grow into young men. All the first experiences […]
