Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
In 2020, God opened up a door of partnership with YouVersion, the Bible App. Since then, I have made it a goal to write one or two devotionals/reading plans monthly. Other members of the Christian Mommas team have also freely contributed devotionals. Together, we have written 25 devotionals/reading plans to encourage our brothers and sisters […]
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)~ In every thing, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. As a parent, I am learning to give thanks for everything because it shifts my mindset and helps me master negative emotions. Much more than that, it is God’s will for me to give […]

John 11:35 Jesus Wept. Jesus wept, not because He was helpless. He knew what He would do. Jesus wept to show us what it means to mourn with those who mourn (Romans 12:15). His tears remind us that He is acquainted with our pain and grief (Isaiah 53:3). 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NLT) says: All praise […]
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. Psalm 68:5 Perhaps Father’s day comes with painful memories for you or your children. 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 […]
My prayer for all fathers: May you live long to enjoy the fruits of your labor. May you be celebrated in heaven and on earth. May your life reveal the love and comfort of God to every child in your sphere of influence. May the good Lord bless you and give you wisdom to make […]
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 […]
Dear friends, I am excited to share Kim Petitt’s devotional with you. On this blog, Kim speaks to parenting teen/adult children. She has been a great blessing to this community. What can you do when your child’s words and behavior communicate: “I reject you, your values, and your God?” In this plan, Kim Petitt shares […]
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 […]
“Do not waste your pain” became my theme few years ago. I had covid while pregnant last year. It was a painful but fearless experience because God walked my family through. I lost my senses of smell and taste, and it lasted into my birthday. I could not eat Chinese rice as my birthday treat, […]
In Luke 18:16, Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who are childlike. Jesus’ statement implies that the little ones around us can help us understand the faith life and God’s heart. In The Little Ones devotional, I drew a parallel between the life of faith and early childhood. You will learn how […]
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 […]
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 […]

Last year, I wrote a blog post on “God and the Sex Scandal Lineage“. This year, I wrote a devotional study on the life of Tamar- the first woman listed in the genealogy of Jesus. Tamar was traumatized, abused, rejected, and she committed incest. Yet, God saw it fit to have her in Jesus’ lineage. […]

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 […]
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 […]
Hello friends, Check out the devotionals I wrote about beating Covid-19 while pregnant. I learned a lot and grew in faith during my recovery process. My momentary trial has worked and is working for a far greater good. Be blessed as you read! But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for […]

How can we peacefully say “yes” or “no” to our children’s complicated requests this Halloween and everyday? Find out in the 3-Day Hallow Him devotional I wrote and please share your thoughts in the […]
Have you been feeling offended lately? I have. Every time I see individuals or groups advocate for policies that are detrimental to the lives of children and the family unit, I have found myself feeling irritated with strong negative emotions towards those people. I found relief after speaking out about my struggle and I allowed […]
This song- “The Voice of God” reminds me that God speaks and He does not make it difficult for us to hear. We just need to listen. I can remember feeling uncertain about a situation few months ago, then the little one suddenly started singing “standing on the promises of God”. That was the first […]
Why do some married couples begin to look alike over time? Why do they also seem to be experts in telepathic communication? “You look like the one you love and spend time with” was the answer that came to mind, and I was drawn to the following Bible verses: Walking in close fellowship with God.
