Advancing God's Kingdom
You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have […]
Our ultimate objective as Christian mothers is to see our children walk in their God-given destiny, not to make them happy. A variety of things make our children happy. No boundaries and late nights watching television make kids happy, as does a pile of sweets and loads of soda, as does letting them run wild […]
Peanut butter and Jelly are comfort food to me like friends who comfort. There are sweet jelly times and sticky, gooey, salty moments with a few crushed nuts added. A tall glass of milk or your favorite refreshing beverage helps the sandwich bites to go down. I have been blessed with older women who mentor, […]
In celebration of Breastfeeding Week, here are some encouraging scriptures on breastfeeding for new and expecting mothers. Feel free to print them as reminders. Sarah’s ability to breastfeed even at an old age gave me hope in moments of breastfeeding challenges. I pray theses scriptures give you hope and help you see that God is […]
What do you do when your adult children do not make the decisions you would like them to make? My friend told me about her daughter, who has moved in with her boyfriend and is behaving strangely. I could sympathize with her as I listened to her story. We are both moms of grown children, […]
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace. Isaiah 54:13 (NLT) For the past two weeks, this scripture has been bubbling up in my heart each time I pray for the little ones. I declare it over them with all my heart. My greatest desire is that they […]
Tokophobia is the fear of childbirth. With access to overwhelming information and unpleasant stories about childbirth, many women become anxious and fearful about childbearing. Once upon a time, a very old woman conceived and bore a child for the first time (Genesis 21) by faith. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, […]
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. […]
Recently, I asked the little one to give his brother an empty pouch of caprisun in exchange for a full pouch of caprisun. He refused my offer because a full pouch was not in sight. I was upset that he could not look beyond the moment and help solve the problem at hand (calm his […]
Have you ever tried being friendly, but you were not treated in a friendly manner? I experienced that recently and it did not hurt my feelings. I remembered grandma Sally‘s comment on my post, “offense“. God is taking me to a place where offense and pride would be costly. So, I am working on being […]

What should I post today? I thought to myself. The following scripture came to mind: Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Isaiah 3:10 (NIV) One of the most tragic events parents face is the death of a child. Yet, one mother said “everything […]
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58 (kJV) “Before you were, I was” is fast becoming a frequent statement in my house. The little one occasionally believes he knows better than anyone else. Sometimes, reasoning and reflecting with him yield positive results. When he doesn’t […]
For a course on cross-cultural understanding, I reviewed Hair Love, a children’s literature. It is an inspirational book about a father helping his daughter style her hair. During my critical review, I found an article that states: “Evidence suggests that from infancy to adulthood, warm, close, and responsive father-child relationships have diverse and significant influences […]
Are you still praying for children in your community or nation? Let’s keep the fire burning. And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall […]
A few days ago, Lisa shared a powerful post on the voice of God. Her post ties beautifully with what I am about to share. Almost every day, my spouse guides the little one to make some powerful declarations over his life. One of the declarations is, “I have the mind of Christ.” For who […]
Recently, my 5 year old son asked me ,“When is God going to talk to me?”I answered, “Well, He talks to us every time we read the Bible, bud.”Apparently, that wasn’t exactly what the answer he wanted.He further explained himself, “Mama, I mean, when will He use His BIG VOICE? …. Like with Noah!” While […]
Except one lives in a hole in the United States, it is impossible not to come across the LGBTQ flag or colors, particularly in June. While LGBTQ issues may be uncomfortable for many Christians to discuss, we must address it because Jesus was willing to address uncomfortable issues, and He modeled how we can respond […]
For some weeks now, I have been telling the little one to only do to his younger brother what he wants me to do to him. That is the only way I can help him become mindful of his brother during play. He is learning how to play safely with his brother, which has been […]
“You’ll be in my Heart” by Phil Collins holds a wonderful memory for our family. Tarzan, the 1999 hit Disney movie tells the story of a young boy orphaned after a shipwreck. His parents end up dying, and a gorilla mom and her family raise him in the jungle. At first glance, it may not […]
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. Psalm 68:5 Perhaps Father’s day comes with painful memories for you or your children. I pray that Psalm 68:5 comforts you today and everyday. 🌷❤ Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please say the […]
I am thankful to God for my late grandfather. My grandfather gave me two life-changing gifts- exposure to Christianity and value for education. As his first grandchild, he called me his “special child”. He carried me, cared for me, and prayed for me. I am his glory. Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the […]
My prayer for all fathers: May you live long to enjoy the fruits of your labor. May you be celebrated in heaven and on earth. May your life reveal the love and comfort of God to every child in your sphere of influence. May the good Lord bless you and give you wisdom to make […]
The role of a mother is to support fathering and the role of a father is to support mothering. Last month, I was privileged to write a devotional in partnership with Mr. Michael Griego , a seasoned father and grandfather. He shared scriptures, prayer points, and 5 essentials for great and effective fatherhood, and I […]
The story of Noah is perhaps one of the little one’s favorite Bible stories. If you ask him, “Can you tell me about the rainbow?” He would say, “It rained for forty days and forty nights. There was a storm. The boat on top of a mountain. A rainbow appeared in the sky. It was […]
