Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
Have you being 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 […]
Constipation seems to be common in early childhood because many children do not like to drink water or eat a balanced diet. Parents like myself have to figure out ways to keep our little ones hydrated and ensure they eat a balanced diet. Watching a constipated child try to have a bowel movement is not […]
Goodness! October is here. I am excited to see more golden, brownish, yellowish, and red leaves. The colors of Fall have a special place in my heart. What do you like about Fall or Autumn? The pandemic may have changed a lot about how we do life, but it could not change seasons. This is […]
Do you find yourself not practicing what you preach? Sometimes, I do. While I do not criticize others for not practicing what I preach, it is hypocrisy to not practice what I teach or preach. Hypocrites do not practice what they preach. Before writing the blog post- What being a student and mom looks like […]
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. […]
Psalm 23:1 is the little one’s first memory verse. My heart leaps for joy when he recites it. At the moment, he may not understand what he is reciting. In a little while he will understand and I pray that this scripture will become real to him. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. ~ […]
I did not get to post this on National Grandparents Day, September 13th. Better late than never…Whenever I see grandparents with their grandchildren, I smile because grandparents are: Graceful: Grandparents do not only carry themselves with grace, they extend grace to their grandchildren. Perhaps, their life experience and walk with God makes them more graceful. […]
As I meditate on Proverbs 1:8-9, I do not only see my children’s responsibility, I also see my responsibility as a parent. My responsibility is to ensure the laws I put in place are good and will ultimately be graceful to them. God, our heavenly father does not ask us to do what he has […]
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 […]

If we don’t put fear in its place, it would put us in its place of defeat and hopelessness. Today, we have a guest post by Udeme Etuknwa-Achiuwa. Udeme loves Jesus and she is a mother holding up other mothers in faith. She shares how fear stole her peace when the pandemic began and decisions […]
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 […]
To ensure my busy schedule does not affect the little one’s social and emotional development, visiting parks and going out more often have become a priority. One day at the park, I got introduced to a Russian grandma. Well, I had met this grandma at the park before. She was just sweet and friendly. I […]
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 […]
Anxiety, a negative and burdensome feeling about the future. That’s one way to describe anxiety. An anxious person sees and desires a future, but is overwhelmed by the challenges that may arise. That is the best way I can describe my experiences with anxiety. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by apprehension and somatic symptoms of […]
Naturally, we find it easy to predict people’s future based on their story or history. Particularly when something tragic or traumatic happens to an individual. It is natural to assume that such individual’s future is ruined. We often forget that change is inevitable, individuals can sometimes rewrite their stories through will power, and even more beautiful […]

Motherhood is a joyful experience and life is beautiful. Yet…… Sometimes, I have a heavy heart. Sometimes, I can feel thick clouds of darkness. Sometimes, it feels like there is a weight on me. Sometimes, I feel like crying as I pity myself. Sometimes, I feel hopeless. Sometimes, I feel…

If you are LinkedIn, let’s connect 🤓🤜🏻🤛🏻 This day 6 years ago, I achieved my American dream.. I became a naturalized American citizen through military service. It was a difficult legal […]
Last month, I suddenly had to resign from my job. I started a company shortly after, and I have no doubt that I am pursuing a dream or passion God has placed within me. Then, impostor syndrome showed up and I enforced my victory over it. Tonight, I am reposting a guest post I wrote […]
Last week, the little one fell several times. Most time he fell, it was a consequence for disobeying his parents. He disobeyed, despite being told some activities were not good and he was presented with safer activities. Every time he fell or hit his head, I did not derive any pleasure. I was not happy. […]

I get asked all the time, “How do you find time to take care of yourself while raising 5 little ones and homeschooling?” Truth is, we make time for whatever is important to us. Our physical bodies need attention just like souls do. If we want to be healthy spiritually, we need daily nourishment through […]
