Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
Did you read the equality act? I read it because I like to conduct personal research instead of being programmed by the media. It takes few minutes to read it. It is interesting that bill is titled “equality act” while the bill seeks to suppress religious freedom to disagree with proposed gender ideologies. It is […]
Today, I am thankful for my salvation. It is a great privilege to belong in God’s family, to be fathered by the creator of the universe, to be loved and held by God. Having a relationship with God grounds me and keeps me centered. It is transforming me. It has given me a purpose and […]
I am currently writing a paper on mindful parenting from the moment of conception. So I thought to take a moment and remind you that our Father in heaven is always mindful of you. He was mindful of us before our conception and He will forever be mindful of us. God, the creator of the […]
It is important to teach our children about the love of God all year around. Valentine’s Day approaching right around the corner also gives us a great opportunity to teach our children about “true love.” Not the conditional love the world shows, not Eros (romantic love) or even Storge (family love). We can use Valentine’s […]
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.

Mindfulness is a way of life. It isn’t just something we do 15 mins or 1 hour every day. Mindfulness is being non-judgmental. This way of life emerges between ages 4 to 6. This means we all have the capacity to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is when Josh says or thinks “Maybe Friederike does not want […]
Mindfulness is being present. I have a 2-month-old. He received some shots recently. The day he received his shots, the shot sites suddenly became more uncomfortable and painful. So, he started crying. I had a lot going on..school work, business, etc. Yet, I told myself they would have to wait. I decided to be present- […]
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27 ESV The first step to teaching our kids how to “be angry and do not sin” is to help them learn to name their anger. We do that by naming […]

People mature as they grow older. As an adult, you are not the same person you were 10 years ago or even 5 years ago. Your desires change, your interest change, and truth is learned over time. Therefore, your understanding changed- and so did your experiences and your perspective on life. In the same sense, […]

The last two years, I felt a need to address how people view women and Gods purpose for them. There is a lot to say in this so I’ll try to sum it up as best as I can. God has indeed created a beautiful calling for women to be…
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 […]
“Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you” (Ephesians 5:14) How much more will it take before the Church wakes up and open her mouth? What kind of a future are we preparing for our children? Every time I pray about all that is happening in the world right now, […]
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. […]

“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. […]
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. […]

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 […]
