For some weeks now, I have been telling the little one to only do to his younger brother what he wants me to do to him. That is the only way I can help him become mindful of his brother during play. He is learning how to play safely with his brother, which has been […]
“My child fared well in school and had ambitions of going to college; now he’s out of high school, not working, and claims he has no plans to go to college.” “My daughter never calls until she needs something, and even then she is nasty to me!” Have you ever experienced similar experiences, or is […]

I pray that Psalm 68:5 comforts you today and everyday. 🌷❤ Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please say the […]
I am thankful to God for my late grandfather. My grandfather gave me two life-changing gifts- exposure to Christianity and value for education. As his first grandchild, he called me his “special child”. He carried me, cared for me, and prayed for me. I am his glory. Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the […]

The role of a mother is to support fathering and the role of a father is to support mothering. Last month, I was privileged to write a devotional in partnership with Mr. Michael Griego , a seasoned father and grandfather. He shared scriptures, prayer points, and 5 essentials for great and effective fatherhood, and I […]
Have you ever been disappointed with God? I have. Have you ever questioned God’s goodness? I have. The pain of an unpleasant birth experience, miscarriage, or the loss of a child can leave the taste of dirt in anyone’s mouth. In the devotional plan below, Sara Hall, a member of the Christian Mommas team teaches […]
There is a little human in my house who considers himself my happiness coach. He constantly inquires about my emotional state because we have been communicating with emotions. After doing something wrong, we often have the following conversation: Little One: “Mommy, are you sad?” Me: “Yes I am” Little One: “Nooooo, I don’t want mommy […]
If fathers were not uniquely important in the lives of children, we would not need them for procreation. However, there is more to fatherhood than procreation. Fathers uniquely discipline and comfort their children. 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV) says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and […]
Today, let’s make some declarations and speak life over our children, a pregnant friend’s baby, a new mom, or anyone believing God for a child. Fill the gap with a specific name. Prayer adapted from Luke 1:13-17 (NIV) Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please say the prayer below and let […]
Young mothers despise unsolicited advice, particularly from experienced mothers. Sometimes, experienced mothers belittle the natural competency of young mothers. Perhaps, this is why many young mothers resist counsel from seasoned mothers. What if seasoned mothers feel the need to provide unsolicited advice because they genuinely care. What if being condescending is not their intention. What […]

May you always be celebrated! To the moms and children grieving this season, my heart grieves with you. May your sorrow be […]
The media inundates us with images of loving mom and child relationships, their hands holding beautiful bouquet flowers. We see gifts, cards, and children bringing their mom food in bed while sentimental music accompanies the acts of love. For some moms, the images can bring emotional pain. As Mother’s Day approaches, we may begin to […]

SYNOPSIS Yes, you can have joy and be a mom at the very same time. You know all about crying babies, dirty diapers, toddler tantrums, potty training, school assignments, and the list goes on and on. Ahhh, Motherhood! But wait, there’s more! Judy Brisky wants…
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and child sexual abuse was highlighted in an email I received yesterday. Every time I read about child sexual abuse, my heart gravitates towards porn as a culprit. The spirit of porn does not only seek to destroy marriages and the soul of the one who watches porn; it […]
The connection of two mothers through adoption is multifaceted, amazing, and full of many emotions. I have experienced open adoption. For those who don’t know, open adoption can initially start as shared photos and letters through an intermediary and sometimes leads to shared identifying information and intertwined lives. It is not a legal contract; it […]
Yesterday, Mary Mesikapp shared a powerful post addressing our imperfections. She shared ways to combat imperfections with God’s Word. During a chat, fellow blogger Dawn Fanshawe shared that the theme scripture in this devotional is one of her favorite resurrection scriptures. I see God’s divine arrangement and confirmation that this devotional was written for such […]

It is interesting that I started writing this post on the 14th of May, 2019, and I am finally posting it almost seven months later. I wonder if there are other bloggers with a lot of drafted posts containing one or two sentences waiting to be completed. I am excited…
My first book, A Christian Mother’s Creed was published a year ago on the 4th of April 2020. I did not celebrate this milestone because I forgot. Meanwhile, I had my first book signing in Church on March 21st. Pictures below. I am thankful for your love and support. I am celebrating the impact and […]

Consider reading this Devotional this weekend on YouVersion, the BibleApp. http://bible.us/r/6SD Day 4 of the Devotional: You see, Jesus was an “unplanned” child for young Mary who yielded […]
It is not coincidental that this devotional was written in a month women’s history is being celebrated. I was not thinking of women’s history month when I wrote the devotional. Also, the theme scripture of the devotional was impressed upon my heart during Lent. Beautiful divine arrangement! I often remind myself that God is the […]
When our adult child violates our values, makes poor choices or gets in deep trouble, we often question who we are as a parent. Our self-doubt shout at us: Was it something I did or didn’t do? Would this have happened if I had been a better parent? Would this have happened if I had […]
Philippians 4:13 reassures me of God’s supernatural strength in me. This verse is helping me stay calm and sane this season. I truly believe worry or anxiety have been kept under control because I meditate on God’s Word as I take each challenge one day at a time. Having a scripture themed wallpaper can help […]
