Yes, you read that right. FIGHT! In a few days, we will celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. A day American families near and far gather together to celebrate life and family. It is a holiday of joy and conflict. I suggest that we do the following to position ourselves…

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 […]
Just like good parents do not like to keep record of their children’s wrongs, God does not take pleasure in keeping record of our wrongs. God is more willing to forgive and desires a relationship with us. Fellowship is the heart of the father. God is far greater, loving, patient, and enduring in mercy than […]
Parents of little children provide almost everything needed to keep their children alive and healthy. Clothing, shelter, food, and everything essential. We all came into the world naked and dependent on our parents/caregivers. Despite being the little one’s “provider”, I get excited and feel honored when he decides to share his food or anything with […]
This post is in response to my sister- Temi’s post about prenatal yoga. It is by no means written to hurt or offend anyone, but rather to share the truth as it has been revealed to me in scripture. I briefly mentioned my thoughts on yoga in the comments section of the abovementioned article. But […]
Growing up, superman was one of my favorite superheroes. He had superpowers and he maximized it by protecting communities. Christians have the ultimate superpower, the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) and this power is not just available for our personal use. The life of a Christian is not meant to be about “me, myself and I” […]
This quote reminds me of God, our heavenly father as a parent. God corrects his imperfect children, yet he calls them righteous/perfect and calls forth who they will become. God convicts his children, He does not put the weight of condemnation on them. Conviction leads to repentance, condemnation leads to separation. God models what wise […]
Almost every new mom says “I did not know I could love someone this much”. This same love can turn a mother without combat skills into a fierce warrior when her child is in trouble. Love is what makes many mothers quit bad habits that could potentially hurt a child in their womb. For love […]
Every morning, I welcome the little one into a new day with a big smile on my face. I always get a smile back. Every morning, God welcomes us into a new day with new mercies. That’s the biggest smile I can think of. Receive God’s love and mercy, He extends them to you because […]

The little one has developed new habits. He randomly screams like he is trying to say something or sing (my husband thinks the little one is testing the functionality of his vocal cords). He wakes up in the middle of the night for ‘playtime’ (this is perhaps due to frequent…
Two years of loving, learning, and growing perfectly sums up my motherhood experience so far. LOVING: Two years of pouring out my love on the little one and other children. LEARNING: Two years of learning from the little one, for the little one and every child in the world. GROWING: Two years of spiritual, mental, […]
Dear friends, I apologize for the unintended breaks and irregularities in blogging this month. COVID-19 has interrupted my regular schedule. I am a stay-at-home mom once again. This requires giving the little one a lot of attention while balancing other aspects of life. I wonder how moms of two or more kids manage their schedule. […]
Have you ever felt disappointed on Mother’s Day? You’re not alone. Over the years, I’ve had the same feeling. Each year would be different than the next yet the underlying emotion the same. This post is dedicated to mothers who do not feel appreciated. Who else can relate to the feeling of being estranged from […]
Have a Blessed Mother’s Day! God supplies all our needs according to His riches in glory! He is our strength and Shield. He is faithful and He keeps us! Recommended Reading: You Were Happy to Be Mom
A sad news was brought to my attention yesterday- China is experiencing a high divorce rate after COVID-19 lockdown and a divorce pandemic is expected to spread globally. Social distancing has left people with no choice but to stay at home with their spouse. Personally, staying at home with my spouse has been wonderful. We […]
As families face job and income loss this season, parents are concerned about the future of their children. Many worry about the daunting task of finding another job, losing their homes, feeding and clothing their children. This situation presents an opportunity for us to look to God as our source. For those living in capitalist […]
I have spent the past two years cherishing memories of my mother. Motherhood made me realize many things about her. One joyful news is that I finally received pictures of my mother earlier this year. We look so much alike. I was 6 or 7 years old when I last saw her. Although she lived […]
Dear friends, this season presents an opportunity for us to be our neighbor’s keeper. Please check on the single mothers living next door and families that have been financially impacted by the current pandemic. It is time to bless those we are in a position to support. As many of my clients have suspended therapy […]
When the little one wants something he has no word for, he says “mine”. He doesn’t not care who owns it. If he wants it, it’s “mine”. This behavior got me thinking about the power in claiming what is rightfully ours based on God’s Word. If God says it is mine, then I want it. […]
Most of us were born with skin so soft and fresh, but a few of us will leave this world with skin so soft and fresh. We all have scars to show for our experience here on earth. Our scars show what we have been through. They tell stories of our victories. Even the little […]
Arrogant people do not see the need to apologize. In fact, arrogance is usually subtle and it disguises itself in form of tradition. I was raised in a society where parents are always right and opinionated children are considered disrespectful. While a lot of children including myself learned to be obedient and follow the rules, […]
As I write this, we are a few days away from Valentine’s Day, the universal day of love. So naturally, I want to talk about love today. One of my favorite passages in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13, or the “love passage” as I like to call it. I have read these verses too […]
These are few statements I heard as a new mom: “let the baby cry, he will not die”, “don’t spoil that baby”, and “crying is good for his lungs”. As I reflect on these statements from people with good intentions, I realize that those statements are not completely true. We can never spoil a baby. […]
One of the birthrights of every child is a loving family. Every child deserves a family that responds to the child’s needs and nurtures the child’s spirit, soul, and body. God created family. Perhaps, that’s why the creator of all things is known as God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit […]
