Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
One of our most important roles as Christian mothers is helping our children grow into functional disciples of Christ. It involves so much more than just taking them to church on Sunday. We play a critical role in our child’s discipleship process; we are also responsible for evangelizing to our children. Having daily Bible studies […]
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 […]
Here is a poem and scripture for everyone of us to reflect on: For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of […]

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 […]
I would like to address gender neutral parenting- a discourse going around in mom support groups and other parenting groups. Gender neutral parenting means raising a child without identifying him or her as male or female. The goal is to allow children to freely choose whatever gender they feel. Some states in the United States […]

If you are not a new or expecting parent, share with someone you know.😉 Also, pray for the group🙏 Topic: Preparing the NurseryTime: […]

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…

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” […]
Last Monday was my birthday. It was the best birthday ever because I was weak, yet I was able to say “I am strong”. In brief moments of strength, I was able to sing and dance with a grateful heart. I had lost my sense of smell and taste. My head ached violently. However, I […]
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…
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. 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. These things aside, however, I can look…
The little one is fast becoming a more responsible member of the family. I have honestly been waiting for him to run errands around the house. He is both a son and a servant in the house. He helps with his laundry, brings the TV remote (very important 😂😂), and helps with other minor chores. […]
It is normal to commend people after they have done a good deed. How about commending people before they do the right thing? It does not sound normal but this is what it takes to parent the little one this season. To make the little one return an item or do something good, we tell […]
Today, we remember those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom we enjoy in the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. America shall win the war. Therefore, I will work. I will save. I will sacrifice. I will endure. I will fight cheerfully and do […]
School closures due to COVID-19 has many families questioning the best way to educate their children. Even if schools open as usual this fall, some parents are trying to decide if they should send their children back to public or private school or take a completely different route and home-school. As they make such an […]
I was sad to hear that Ravi Zacharias passed away this morning. He was a man of great wisdom. He spoke the truth in love. While I sorrow that he is no longer with us, I am glad he is free from pain and I will see him in heaven. Dr. Ravi’s transition to glory […]
Many people think and say motherhood or parenthood does not come with a manual. We need to change that thought and statement. While reading Psalms 38 this morning, I was reminded that God in His wisdom has provided a manual for parenting. Psalm 38:1 states: LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline […]

When we think of divine intervention, it is easy to imagine God intervening for us to breakthrough or do the impossible. I believe that divine intervention also occurs when we are about to take steps or make decisions that can ruin our lives. As the little one continues to assert his independence, I am learning […]
