Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
The day before Jesus was born, the earth was waiting for redemption and all the great things the presence of God in the flesh brought to earth. The birth of Jesus revealed the heart of the father. It revealed the love of God (John 3:16)- the God who manifests himself as the Father, Son, and […]
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. […]
It is Veterans Day here in the United States. To all military veterans, thank you for your service! Your fight for freedom will not be in vain. I consider it a great honor to have served in the United States Army. Although I enlisted to serve because of the benefits, my purpose changed once I was […]

Still in the spirit of celebrating veterans. This post was inspired by my husband while reflecting on a military documentary we watched, No Greater Love. My time in the military was filled with more ups than downs. I learned to value the civilian life, humility and the power of community.…
The third trimester marks the final stage of pregnancy. The excitement to see the baby is usually stronger. Excitement, a bigger baby bump, and pressure on the pelvic bone can make one tired of being pregnant.. The baby is almost here, but the day and time are unknown for many mothers without a scheduled cesarean […]
It is a beautiful day to be alive! The God of the universe is still on the throne. He is sovereign. The God of all seasons is my father, your father, our father…How cool! What a privilege! I stopped by to share this amazing praise and worship song. Have a blessed Sunday and hope filled […]
Dear friends, What are your plans for Halloween night? Doing something or nothing? Do you feel pressured to participate in Halloween? 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 […]
For the first 3 to 4 years of life, little children predominantly function with their right brain (more emotional side of the brain). It takes a while for the left brain (more logical side of the brain) to catch up and start communicating with the right brain. For this reason, little children predominantly live based […]
For the first 3 to 4 years of life, humans predominantly function with their right brain (more emotional side of the brain). It takes a while for the left brain (more logical and reasoning side of the brain) to catch up and start communicating with the right brain. For this reason, little children predominantly live […]
Like one who has lost her soul, I ran away from the one I love. I just could not take it anymore. My body wanted to rest, but a little human was in the way. So, off to the closet I went with my blanket. The quiet and freedom from the needs of another human […]
As we go about the week, let us remember to place God’s Word before our eyes and in our hearts. The Bible, God’s Word is our guide. We cannot live a purposeful and love filled life without studying the Word. We should never forget that some people laid down their lives in order for us […]
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 […]
Hi friends, Please checkout Christian Mommas’ new homepage and the Amazing Resources below! You will find them on the homepage as well. Thank you all for your support! I thank my God upon every remembrance of you ~ Philippians 1:3
I received several reminders to share this post today. This year has had its ups and downs, yet, I have not found myself wishing the year was over already. I am still dreaming and hoping for God’s best in my life, family, the Church, my community and nations. Y’all, this year is still loaded with […]
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 […]
