Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
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 […]
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 […]
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and child sexual abuse was highlighted in an email I received yesterday. Every time I read about child sexual abuse, my heart gravitates towards porn as a culprit. The spirit of porn does not only seek to destroy marriages and the soul of the one who watches porn; it […]
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. […]
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. […]
In response to the impact of COVID-19 on marriages, I will weekly share resources that can help strengthen marriages. How we do marriage impacts how we parent. My hope is that these resources will help families struggling this season or strengthen the marriages of those who are doing okay. Parenting requires a lot of sacrifice, […]
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 […]
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. […]
Praying over my husband’s head was the most viewed post on this blog in 2019. The post was inspired by personal events and a free 3-day reading plan on YouVersion. The plan was adapted from the book, Prayers of Blessings Over Your Husband. So, I thought it would be a great idea to give away […]
Whether we desire war or not, we are constantly at war. There is a war over our lives as Christian mothers and wives. The enemy wants to divide and conquer our homes. He knows fully well that the family is the bedrock of the society. If he can destroy families, he can conquer the world. […]
A young person asked me recently what is was like to adopt a child, “is it different?” That question got me to thinking just how similar adoption is to marriage. One day I didn’t know my husband, the next I did. A unique encounter that set us on this path of connection. We don’t have […]
I am a wife and mother of 2 wonderful boys: a 3 year old and an 11 month old. It has taken me 4 years to say that with dignity and gratitude. 4 years of repenting, cleansing, molding before the Lord, to truly own up that role of a stay at home mother. 4 years […]
The perfect marriage is the united relationship between an imperfect man and an imperfect woman serving a perfect God. This man and woman are after God’s heart despite their flaws. They work on their flaws while celebrating the beauty and uniqueness of each other. They forgive each other daily and do each other good everyday […]
Isn’t it sad that history repeats itself even when we say “I will never do that” or “I want something better for me and my children”? Why do most people who watched their parents fight constantly; watched their father get drunk and abused their mother; and noticed their mother or father obsessively control the home repeat the same thing. Why do they repeat their history of trauma despite desiring something better?
One thing I desired before marriage was to have a great relationship with my parents-in-law. I actually prefer to call them parents-in-love. Few months ago, I celebrated my mother-in-law for her love. Whether we like it or not, our parents-in-law come with the package when we marry our spouse. Our relationship with them can either […]

Most of us go into marriage with good intentions but selfish hearts. If you want to change your marriage, spend some time thinking about God as your Father-in-Law. ◊ From a worldly perspective, if you review even a portion of the vast array of books and advice on good practices…
Earlier today, I learned the possibility of experiencing heaven on earth in marital-relationship. So, here I am writing about what I learned recently as a wife. Marriage and Parenting: I believe a healthy marriage makes parenting easy. So, motherhood and marital relationship work together. To the single mommas, you are the strongest women alive and […]
Minutes ago, I received a very personal and timely email. The message brought me peace and calm. I believe it will bring you comfort and encouragement. This message is timely because I have been working on ways to balance all my responsibilities without leaving out the God-factor which holds everything together. I find myself in […]
Every woman’s life is a unique mixture of challenges, blessings, victories, goal achievements, failures, heartbreaks, divorce or marriage success and so on. Even motherhood takes on different set of values, experiences, and choices. This is because our career paths, mindsets, beliefs, and opportunities differ. Some moms enjoy the privilege of staying home full-time with their […]
Last month, I came across this amazing article by a fellow blogger, Tammy @ Grandma Mary Martha. My fundamental thought on daughter-in-law and mother-in-law relationship is this: Be the kind of mother–in-law you want your children to have. Be the kind of daughter-in-law you want to have. Enjoy and Be Blessed! I Dare to Write: […]
As a wife and a mother I spend a lot of the time making sure everyone is taken care of and things are accomplished. I am in the daily details, but if at the end of the day the things I am reflecting are ugly and poisoned I am doing no-one any good by having a clean house and folded laundry.
