Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God […]
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace. Isaiah 54:13 (NLT) For the past two weeks, this scripture has been bubbling up in my heart each time I pray for the little ones. I declare it over them with all my heart. My greatest desire is that they […]
Tokophobia is the fear of childbirth. With access to overwhelming information and unpleasant stories about childbirth, many women become anxious and fearful about childbearing. Once upon a time, a very old woman conceived and bore a child for the first time (Genesis 21) by faith. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, […]
Writing on marriage today because two wonderful people in my life said “I do” again today. Marriage is a beautiful thing. We reap what we sow into our marriage. The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 (NLT) What comes to […]
Recently, I asked the little one to give his brother an empty pouch of caprisun in exchange for a full pouch of caprisun. He refused my offer because a full pouch was not in sight. I was upset that he could not look beyond the moment and help solve the problem at hand (calm his […]
Have you ever tried being friendly, but you were not treated in a friendly manner? I experienced that recently and it did not hurt my feelings. I remembered grandma Sally‘s comment on my post, “offense“. God is taking me to a place where offense and pride would be costly. So, I am working on being […]
Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18 (NLT) In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows […]

What should I post today? I thought to myself. The following scripture came to mind: Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Isaiah 3:10 (NIV) One of the most tragic events parents face is the death of a child. Yet, one mother said “everything […]
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58 (kJV) “Before you were, I was” is fast becoming a frequent statement in my house. The little one occasionally believes he knows better than anyone else. Sometimes, reasoning and reflecting with him yield positive results. When he doesn’t […]
For a course on cross-cultural understanding, I reviewed Hair Love, a children’s literature. It is an inspirational book about a father helping his daughter style her hair. During my critical review, I found an article that states: “Evidence suggests that from infancy to adulthood, warm, close, and responsive father-child relationships have diverse and significant influences […]
Are you still praying for children in your community or nation? Let’s keep the fire burning. And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall […]
A few days ago, Lisa shared a powerful post on the voice of God. Her post ties beautifully with what I am about to share. Almost every day, my spouse guides the little one to make some powerful declarations over his life. One of the declarations is, “I have the mind of Christ.” For who […]
The little one has a strong bond with my stomach. While pregnant with his younger brother, the little one would sit with his stomach touching mine. He has special songs for my stomach and has expressed his desire for my stomach not to be small. A few days ago, he finally said, “I want to […]
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25 (kJV) Father in the name of Jesus, take away every issue of shame in my marriage. Take us back to the original state of the marriage you created in the beginning, before the curse. Give us wisdom and empower […]
Happy Independence Day, America! We don’t have a perfect nation but we have a perfect God who gives freedom. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.(2 Corinthians 3:17) This great nation will rise again. Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please […]
Except one lives in a hole in the United States, it is impossible not to come across the LGBTQ flag or colors, particularly in June. While LGBTQ issues may be uncomfortable for many Christians to discuss, we must address it because Jesus was willing to address uncomfortable issues, and He modeled how we can respond […]
At some point in our lives, many of us have dealt with insecurities. We have felt unworthy, purposeless, or not good enough. Is it possible that we feel insecure because our sense of worth or value is rooted in our roles as mothers, wives, etc.? Is it possible that we feel insecure because our identity […]
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39 (kJV) I speak peace over your marriage and harmony be restored in Jesus name. 🌷❤ Let hope arise. Would you like to become a member of God’s family? […]
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 […]
“My child fared well in school and had ambitions of going to college; now he’s out of high school, not working, and claims he has no plans to go to college.” “My daughter never calls until she needs something, and even then she is nasty to me!” Have you ever experienced similar experiences, or is […]
I was 23 when I got married and 16 years later I am happy and in love more than I was on day one. This is not because everything has been perfect all 16 years. It is because the trials my spouse and I have gone through together have made me grow to love God […]
The media inundates us with images of loving mom and child relationships, their hands holding beautiful bouquet flowers. We see gifts, cards, and children bringing their mom food in bed while sentimental music accompanies the acts of love. For some moms, the images can bring emotional pain. As Mother’s Day approaches, we may begin to […]
The power of prayer gives me hope for the United States and other nations of the world. When the choices of our political leaders grieve our hearts, it should drive us to a place of prayer. Anyone can criticize, but not everyone can pray fervently for change. May we become people of prayer. It is […]
