Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
Yesterday, my son- Jose said: “The Bible is like a bag of potato chips. Once you start reading it, you want more.” How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103(NIV) When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I […]
Today, I am taking a moment to celebrate and support my sister in the faith, fellow momma and blogger- Alicia. While I am yet to meet Alicia in person, I have met her virtually. However, this pales in comparison to the strong spiritual connection we share. The blood of Jesus flows through our veins. For […]
Today, I am thankful for my salvation. It is a great privilege to belong in God’s family, to be fathered by the creator of the universe, to be loved and held by God. Having a relationship with God grounds me and keeps me centered. It is transforming me. It has given me a purpose and […]
It is important to teach our children about the love of God all year around. Valentine’s Day approaching right around the corner also gives us a great opportunity to teach our children about “true love.” Not the conditional love the world shows, not Eros (romantic love) or even Storge (family love). We can use Valentine’s […]
Posted this on my personal Facebook page, so i thought to share here as well.. I don’t have words to describe how I felt seeing my dear friend rock a shirt I designed. I am blessed to have this lady in my life (Proverbs 18:24).. You can purchase this shirt and other gifts for expectant […]

The last two years, I felt a need to address how people view women and Gods purpose for them. There is a lot to say in this so I’ll try to sum it up as best as I can. God has indeed created a beautiful calling for women to be…
Some call two year olds “terrible twos” because little children strongly assert their independence at this age and this can be difficult to manage. I choose to call this stage the “thrilling twos” and intentionally speak life over the little one. This is one practical way to practice mindful parenting and thrive this stage of […]
More than ever before, we must reach out to the lost world. The current pandemic is not an excuse. As I think of fellow believers in underground Churches, Bible smugglers and those who go on covert missions to share the gospel in dangerous places, I see the current pandemic as a test of our ability […]
Do you see what I see? Can you sense what I am sensing? We are in the last days. Disguised as freedom, wickedness is becoming a norm and many are being deceived. The world wants us to be selfish in the name of happiness and mothering is being presented as bondage. The love of many […]
Fitness is always on my mind and in my plan for the year. Faithfit devotional on YouVersion, is giving me the extra push I need to start my body off right this year. If you need extra motivation to start taking care of your body this year, the Faithfit devotional is for you. We need […]
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. […]
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 […]
Recently, I gave someone the middle finger. My family slowed down while entering a circle or round about, as a courtesy to allow another driver pass through. The driver behind us honked at us within seconds. I found it irritating. I turned around to look at the honking driver and she gave me the middle […]

As we exercise the right to vote for the future of our children in the United States- born and unborn, let’s mind the state of our heart and attitude towards those whose beliefs and perspectives about the upcoming election differ from ours. Do you cringe when you see President Trump or former Vice President, Joe […]
Dear friends, What are your plans for Halloween night? Doing something or nothing? Do you feel pressured to participate in Halloween? How can we peacefully say “yes” or “no” to our children’s complicated requests this Halloween and everyday? Find out in the 3-Day Hallow Him devotional I wrote and please share your thoughts in the […]
For the first 3 to 4 years of life, little children predominantly function with their right brain (more emotional side of the brain). It takes a while for the left brain (more logical side of the brain) to catch up and start communicating with the right brain. For this reason, little children predominantly live based […]
Like one who has lost her soul, I ran away from the one I love. I just could not take it anymore. My body wanted to rest, but a little human was in the way. So, off to the closet I went with my blanket. The quiet and freedom from the needs of another human […]

Have you being feeling offended lately? I have. Every time I see individuals or groups advocate for policies that are detrimental to the lives of children and the family unit, I have found myself feeling irritated with strong negative emotions towards those people. I found relief after speaking out about my struggle and I allowed […]
This song- “The Voice of God” reminds me that God speaks and He does not make it difficult for us to hear. We just need to listen. I can remember feeling uncertain about a situation few months ago, then the little one suddenly started singing “standing on the promises of God”. That was the first […]
Constipation seems to be common in early childhood because many children do not like to drink water or eat a balanced diet. Parents like myself have to figure out ways to keep our little ones hydrated and ensure they eat a balanced diet. Watching a constipated child try to have a bowel movement is not […]

Sometimes, this is what being a mom and student looks like. Playing the piano while studying because the little one doesn’t want to drum alone. He thinks it is more fun to have a musical session with me…So, I had one hand on the piano and the other on my computer. I may not have […]
As I meditate on Proverbs 1:8-9, I do not only see my children’s responsibility, I also see my responsibility as a parent. My responsibility is to ensure the laws I put in place are good and will ultimately be graceful to them. God, our heavenly father does not ask us to do what he has […]
