Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
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 […]
I received several reminders to share this post today. This year has had its ups and downs, yet, I have not found myself wishing the year was over already. I am still dreaming and hoping for God’s best in my life, family, the Church, my community and nations. Y’all, this year is still loaded with […]
Today, I pray that we will live long enough to enjoy the fruit of our labor of love over our children. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Hebrews 6:10 Have a restful […]
To ensure my busy schedule does not affect the little one’s social and emotional development, visiting parks and going out more often have become a priority. One day at the park, I got introduced to a Russian grandma. Well, I had met this grandma at the park before. She was just sweet and friendly. I […]

Anxiety, a negative and burdensome feeling about the future. That’s one way to describe anxiety. An anxious person sees and desires a future, but is overwhelmed by the challenges that may arise. That is the best way I can describe my experiences with anxiety. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by apprehension and somatic symptoms of […]
My heart overflowed with joy and thanksgiving after seeing this news yesterday. When my spouse called me and said “God answers prayers”, I thought he was about to tell me about money matters. Then he showed me this news, worth more to me than money. We have been praying for child abusers to be exposed […]

Motherhood is a joyful experience and life is beautiful. Yet…… Sometimes, I have a heavy heart. Sometimes, I can feel thick clouds of darkness. Sometimes, it feels like there is a weight on me. Sometimes, I feel like crying as I pity myself. Sometimes, I feel hopeless. Sometimes, I feel…
One fun thing about homeschooling is that I get to explore my artistic skills. The little one tells me what to draw and I make it happen. Homeschooling a toddler should not be hard and I refuse to make it hard. I believe social and emotional development should be emphasized more than academic knowledge in […]
Last week, the little one fell several times. Most time he fell, it was a consequence for disobeying his parents. He disobeyed, despite being told some activities were not good and he was presented with safer activities. Every time he fell or hit his head, I did not derive any pleasure. I was not happy. […]

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, “How do you find time to take care of yourself while raising 5 little ones and homeschooling?” 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- Temi’s 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” […]

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 […]

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 […]
