Spiritual Experiences of Motherhood
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 […]

Mothers know how to nurture and pamper their children. This natural tendency often makes it difficult to rebuke or discipline our children. We do not want to hurt their feelings or break their fragile hearts. We want to be their friend and parent. What a difficult task! As the little one continues to assert his […]

I received several reminders to share this post today. This year has had its ups and downs, yet, I have not found myself wishing the year was over already. I am still dreaming and hoping for God’s best in my life, family, the Church, my community and nations. Y’all, this year is still loaded with […]

As many of you probably already know, Netflix has a movie it recently posted called Cuties. After watching maybe about 10 seconds of the trailer, I stopped it and canceled my Netflix. The director claimed she was trying to criticize the exploitation of children but the problem is she…
Here is a poem and scripture for everyone of us to reflect on: For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of […]

To ensure my busy schedule does not affect the little one’s social and emotional development, visiting parks and going out more often have become a priority. One day at the park, I got introduced to a Russian grandma. Well, I had met this grandma at the park before. She was just sweet and friendly. I […]
I would like to address gender neutral parenting- a discourse going around in mom support groups and other parenting groups. Gender neutral parenting means raising a child without identifying him or her as male or female. The goal is to allow children to freely choose whatever gender they feel. Some states in the United States […]
Growing up in Nigeria, parents were always right. In fact, elders were always right. We had to apologize for the wrongs or acts we did not commit. This made me very gullible and I had difficulty challenging authority figures when needed. A culture where children are expected and required to apologize for the wrongs they […]

Motherhood is a joyful experience and life is beautiful. Yet…… Sometimes, I have a heavy heart. Sometimes, I can feel thick clouds of darkness. Sometimes, it feels like there is a weight on me. Sometimes, I feel like crying as I pity myself. Sometimes, I feel hopeless. Sometimes, I feel…
Last week, the little one fell several times. Most time he fell, it was a consequence for disobeying his parents. He disobeyed, despite being told some activities were not good and he was presented with safer activities. Every time he fell or hit his head, I did not derive any pleasure. I was not happy. […]

If you are not a new or expecting parent, share with someone you know.😉 Also, pray for the group🙏 Topic: Preparing the NurseryTime: […]
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 […]
Galatians 6:7~ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. In other words, “What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you”. I experience this in my life and I believe there are many who can attest to this principle. For every parent […]
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 […]

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother;” ~ Proverbs 1:7-8 For our country to survive the catastrophes we are…
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 […]

You didn’t fail as a mother. Not even a little bit. You could not have prevented this if you tried harder, prayed harder or was a better mother nor if you loved harder or wasn’t so hard on them neither not hard enough. Your child has free mortal agency meaning they have “free will.” In […]
Half the year is gone, just like that! The current pandemic definitely changed many things about how we do life. It revealed the weaknesses in all systems and the fragility of life. While assisting the little one up the stairs yesterday, I was reminded that we would always need God. We will never be self […]
As I watch the little one sleep peacefully, my heart is filled with joy and gratitude. I miss him more when he goes to sleep, but I also look forward to him going to bed. I am thankful for the little one. He is a precious gift from God. God uses him to help me […]

I’m the mother of an abused child. While the abuse happened outside my home and far from my view or awareness, it often feels as if I carry full responsibility. I struggle with guilt and, if I’m honest, sometimes I struggle will condemnation. These things aside, however, I can look…
