Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
Since I only have one child and only one chance at raising him, I find myself reflecting on my parenting practices and experiencing a pang of regret from time to time. I am pretty aware that I could have done better or have done more or less. My child is 22 years old, and I […]
Telling my 5 year old son that his baby brother or sister had died and was no longer growing in my belly was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever done. Telling him that his uncle died just a few months later, and attending the funeral was a close second. Coming home from […]

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along […]
While driving the little ones to a pumpkin farm last week, I found myself reflecting on my motherhood experience and the sacrifices I have purposefully made for the little ones. I observed that motherhood has indeed given me the opportunity to redo my childhood. It has given me the opportunity to be the mother I […]
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) This scripture is both a commandment and a promise/covenant. God is faithful to do His part. Are we intentional about doing our part? Parents have the responsibility to start off their […]
Every year, Christian parents in the United States and a few other places in the world make decisions about what to do on Halloween Night. I pray that this reading plan guides you as you make your decision this Halloween and every day. Day 3 Preview: Hallow Him- Never Assume His Will Josiah was the greatest […]
Is there anybody who is more idealistic than the parent of a newborn child? Those eyes were fixed on that infant for hours on end. We were overwhelmed with emotion both of joy and fear: delight at the wonder of life and this creation that we held in our arms and fear at the responsibility […]
As we make parenting decisions this week, let’s put the most important thing first– acknowledging God as the One who can help us make wise decisions. Asking God to give us wisdom to parent is humility. Proverbs 3:6 (NLT)~Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Would […]
A few days ago, Isaiah 45:2 came to mind as I rushed to keep the little one from stumbling while climbing up the stairs. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: Isaiah 45:2 (KJV) […]
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Proverbs 29:15 (KJV) Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please say the prayer below and let me know about it here. Say this: Heavenly Father,I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe you exist and you […]
September is Infant Mortality Awareness month. It is also Suicide Awareness Month. Earlier this month, I shared a post on Infant Loss and Preterm Births. Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of infant mortality (Infant death before the first birthday). Sadly, infanticide or homicide is another leading cause of infant deaths. Homicide is […]
We tell our children that we are proud of them when they have accomplished something. Our children’s accomplishments are significant, but we should also recognize them for who they are. The things our children have done, completed, achieved, or produced make us proud of them. As a result of what they haven’t done, we feel […]
Sometimes, I feel like the little ones are getting in the way of my academic and career goals. I must not forget that family is more important than my academics and career. If I resent caring for my family because of my academics or career, it will reflect and affect my family life. I must […]
As we round out the last few days of National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, I want to share a story that has impacted me since I first heard it almost five years ago. Trigger warning: Although this story begins with sadness, it is a beautiful, present-day example of how beauty can come from ashes. ——— […]
Some of us lash out in anger, internalize negative emotions, or become bitter when dealing with an offense. All of these coping methods or reactions to offense are damaging, and they can cause a myriad of issues that have lasting effects on our life. Our kids are constantly learning from how we face challenges, lead, persevere, […]
Last Sunday was Grandparent’s Day, and I am here to play catch-up. Godly Grandparents are a blessing to every family. I admire their wisdom, patience, and love. Today and everyday, I celebrate the little ones’ grandparents. When parents honor grandparents, they cultivate a transgenerational culture of honor. Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Honour thy father and thy […]
The past few days have been uncomfortable for the little one, due to teething. Today, I realized I have not prayed for strength for him navigate this period. I prayed as soon as it came to mind and I am glad I serve a God I can talk to about my child’s teething experience. Trust […]
September is Infant Mortality Awareness Month. Infant mortality is the death of a child before the first birthday or first year of life. Premature birth is one of the leading causes of Infant Mortality. Whenever you see a preemie, know that you are seeing a miracle. While I have read scholarly articles to educate myself […]
