Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings […]
As the year ends, my heart is filled with gratitude, and I find Ephesians 7:8 comforting. Last night, I spent time reflecting on the goodness of God with the little one (I encourage you to do the same with your little ones). This December feels like the final weeks of pregnancy. I have been waiting […]
Since I only have one child and only one chance at raising him, I find myself reflecting on my parenting practices and experiencing a pang of regret from time to time. I am pretty aware that I could have done better or have done more or less. My child is 22 years old, and I […]

I am thankful to God for this growing community. I am thankful I get to share God’s goodness with you. I am thankful for the United States of America and the Church. We have a great future in Christ. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:1 (NIV) Would […]

1 Timothy 6:12 (KJV) Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Fight the good fight of faith As we interact with family members this festive season, situations or conversations may set the atmosphere up for unhealthy confrontation […]
As I ponder the parenting styles of the past, I see that I did have guinea pigs to train. I was glad to be an older mom; I had more time to know Jesus after a near-death experience. Someday, I will share my experience. Before becoming a parent, I deepened my faith in Jesus and […]
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Matthew 2:13 (KJV) Joseph and […]
Happy Veterans Day to all military veterans! While I separated from the military about four years ago, I still find myself singing military cadences. Last weekend, I sang “I’m a steam roller baby, I’m gonna roll all over you…” as steam rolled out of my little kettle. Also, I marched around the house with my […]
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. Proverbs 19:13 (KJV) A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof. Proverbs 19:13 (NIV) Reflections: If I become an argumentative wife, my husband will not enjoy being home […]

I am thankful to God for the opportunity to comfort others out of the abundance of the comfort God has given me. I have met wonderful people on this journey. Last year, some of you organized a baby shower for me. I am thankful to God for your generosity and love. Thank you all for […]
Sarah obeyed Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him lord. And you have become her daughters if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led […]
While driving the little ones to a pumpkin farm last week, I found myself reflecting on my motherhood experience and the sacrifices I have purposefully made for the little ones. I observed that motherhood has indeed given me the opportunity to redo my childhood. It has given me the opportunity to be the mother I […]
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) This scripture is both a commandment and a promise/covenant. God is faithful to do His part. Are we intentional about doing our part? Parents have the responsibility to start off their […]
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34 (KJV) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it~ Ephesians 5: 25 (KJV) It is often said that love is not all […]

Is there anybody who is more idealistic than the parent of a newborn child? Those eyes were fixed on that infant for hours on end. We were overwhelmed with emotion both of joy and fear: delight at the wonder of life and this creation that we held in our arms and fear at the responsibility […]
Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4 (NKJV) When we take our eyes off the one who is worthy of all honor, we lose the ability to hold our marriage in high regard. Dishonor leads to defilement. Let’s be covenant keepers. For the believer, […]
What happens when we yield to the HolySpirit daily and live eternity-conscious? Forgiving others becomes easy. Let’s examine Acts 7:54-60 (KJV) When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of […]
Forgiveness can be difficult– particularly when offenders do not recognize or acknowledge the wrong they have done. It is also difficult to forgive when death or life-altering situations are involved. God is not ignorant of the various events that make forgiveness difficult. When it is hard to forgive, remember 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we […]
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 (KJV) 1 Peter 3:7 is a controversial Bible verse because some individuals do not want the wife to […]
