Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
Gratitude for New Connections 🙂 Springtime reminds me of new growth, the sound of robins and chickadees music to my ears. The call of a dove cooing to find her partner or maybe a new friend… The flash of movement as a rabbit scurries across the front garden searching for food or a hiding place. […]
In celebration of Good Friday, I reflect on Mary’s experience as a mother and it never gets old. I shared my Good Friday reflections in this devotional. 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 […]
Yesterday, my son- Jose said: “The Bible is like a bag of potato chips. Once you start reading it, you want more.” How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103(NIV) When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I […]
Foxes book of Martyrs is a long but important read for this age. Amber of Fish Full Life brought this book to my attention. I glanced through it and my heart was touched by the stories of those who died for the gospel. Some died so we can easily access the Bible today. May I […]
Some call two year olds “terrible twos” because little children strongly assert their independence at this age and this can be difficult to manage. I choose to call this stage the “thrilling twos” and intentionally speak life over the little one. This is one practical way to practice mindful parenting and thrive this stage of […]
More than ever before, we must reach out to the lost world. The current pandemic is not an excuse. As I think of fellow believers in underground Churches, Bible smugglers and those who go on covert missions to share the gospel in dangerous places, I see the current pandemic as a test of our ability […]
It was impressed on my heart to share this with you all. Join me in praying. The persecution will not end, but we have victory. Matthew 5:11(NIV) ~ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” Please take a moment and pray. […]
Do you see what I see? Can you sense what I am sensing? We are in the last days. Disguised as freedom, wickedness is becoming a norm and many are being deceived. The world wants us to be selfish in the name of happiness and mothering is being presented as bondage. The love of many […]

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. […]
We made it! This is my deepest desire and prayer for 2021: That God will fill us with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, […]

“Pray for mercy”..Those were the words I heard from the Lord as I prayed when the first wave of COVID-19 hit Europe. Within weeks of beginning a new year, full of hope, expectations and plans, a virus came from the east, swept over the world in weeks. Countries closed their borders, economies fell apart, people […]
The pain of unmet expectations and unanswered prayers can cause one to question God’s existence and love. This year, I had seasons of disappointment and I briefly entertained the enemy’s lies. Thankfully, God’s Word anchored me. In the valley, God reassured me of his love and presence. When I saw Tasting Dirt: When You’re Disappointed […]
What a year! We are almost at the finish line. What word or phrase spring to mind when you think of the year 2020? For me, it is- GROWTH. Welcoming divine interruptions earlier in the year made 2020 a year of growth for me. The blessings, challenges, heartaches and disappointments of 2020 helped me grow. […]
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 […]
As I hold a very dependent and vulnerable little one in my arms this Christmas, I am captivated by the humility God modeled. Truly, God modeled humility by taking on mortal flesh for our sake. The greatest one became a little one. The strongest one became one of the weakest and most vulnerable ones. He […]
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. […]

Journey with Christian Mommas for 5 days of reflection on Christmas scriptures that will position you to celebrate the wonder of Christmas daily. This short and powerful 5-day devotional […]
“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 […]

Yes, you read that right. FIGHT! In a few days, we will celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. A day American families near and far gather together to celebrate life and family. It is a holiday of joy and conflict. I suggest that we do the following to position ourselves…

Staying thankful is humanly impossible. However, God instructs his children to be thankful in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Few days ago, I almost stepped into the danger zone of murmur (Philippians 2:14). In the middle of little messes, it is easy to forget how blessed we are. Thankfully, I was able to count my […]
As we exercise the right to vote for the future of our children in the United States- born and unborn, let’s mind the state of our heart and attitude towards those whose beliefs and perspectives about the upcoming election differ from ours. Do you cringe when you see President Trump or former Vice President, Joe […]
