Advancing God's Kingdom in the Family System
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24: 15-16 (kJV) In Acts 24:15-16, paul reveals three keys to mastering […]
The actions of loved ones, church folks, and unbelievers can leave us feeling offended. When offense lingers long enough, it leads to unforgiveness, bitterness, and a legion of negative emotions and sin. These things are unhealthy for our spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Most notably, they hinder our prayers. Mark 11:25 (KJV) says, “And when […]
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 […]
Offense is a negative emotion that stems from being dishonored, disrespected, or mistreated. We feel offended because of what we think about the actions of others. Consequently, our thoughts are responsible for the negative feeling of offense. While we cannot always control people’s actions, we can learn how to control our response (mentally and emotionally) […]
Last Sunday was Grandparent’s Day, and I am here to play catch-up. Godly Grandparents are a blessing to every family. I admire their wisdom, patience, and love. Today and everyday, I celebrate the little ones’ grandparents. When parents honor grandparents, they cultivate a transgenerational culture of honor. Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Honour thy father and thy […]
September is Infant Mortality Awareness Month. Infant mortality is the death of a child before the first birthday or first year of life. Premature birth is one of the leading causes of Infant Mortality. Whenever you see a preemie, know that you are seeing a miracle. While I have read scholarly articles to educate myself […]
Deuteronomy 8:11 (NLT) But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today. This year, it is more evident that many have forgotten. While grieving the state of the United States, […]
Hi friends, Since the beginning of the week, I have been refueling at my local church’s Summer camp meeting. Today, I realized I could get more people to drink with me and get the fire burning in more places. If you are hungry for something more, please connect with us online 7 PM EST tonight, […]
God is amazing! He provides us with glimpses of His character through our friends and relationships. We can see His nature reflected in the eyes of those who come in and out of our lives. A few nights ago, I explained to my daughter, “there are friends that stick closer than a brother or sister, […]
In response to fellow Christians’ outrage about Texas’ new abortion law, I posted the text below on my Facebook page yesterday. Thought it would be a blessing to share it here as well. Non-political and Mental health views on abortion. Please read the article.😉 If you disagree, respectfully scroll away and go conduct your own […]
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25 (NLT) They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the […]
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 […]
And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you […]
“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 […]
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. […]
Recently, my 5 year old son asked me ,“When is God going to talk to me?”I answered, “Well, He talks to us every time we read the Bible, bud.”Apparently, that wasn’t exactly what the answer he wanted.He further explained himself, “Mama, I mean, when will He use His BIG VOICE? …. Like with Noah!” While […]
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 […]
“You’ll be in my Heart” by Phil Collins holds a wonderful memory for our family. Tarzan, the 1999 hit Disney movie tells the story of a young boy orphaned after a shipwreck. His parents end up dying, and a gorilla mom and her family raise him in the jungle. At first glance, it may not […]
Last week, I caught myself telling the little one, “You are wasting your time.” I repented and spoke life over the little one by declaring, “You will not waste your time.” I have written a lot about speaking life over our children, but I found myself not practicing what I preach. I shared my shortcoming […]
In Luke 5:10 Jesus said “Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men”. In Luke 5: 11, Simon Peter and his fishing partners FORSOOK ALL, and followed Jesus. Those scriptures came alive while studying the Bible, today. So, it was impressed upon my heart to reblog this post and remind all moms here to be […]
Today is day 40 of 40 Days of Resurrection Scriptures! The resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. I am forgiven and transformed by His resurrection power. This is good news for me and everyone who believes in Jesus. Stay blessed! Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please say the prayer below […]
The story of Noah is perhaps one of the little one’s favorite Bible stories. If you ask him, “Can you tell me about the rainbow?” He would say, “It rained for forty days and forty nights. There was a storm. The boat on top of a mountain. A rainbow appeared in the sky. It was […]

A few weeks ago, my husband and I celebrated half a decade of covenant marital relationship. I used half a decade so that it can sound like a long time. Lol. I have been friends with my husband since 1999. So, it’s okay for me to feel like I have known him for decades. What […]
