Advancing God's Kingdom
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)~ In every thing, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. As a parent, I am learning to give thanks for everything because it shifts my mindset and helps me master negative emotions. Much more than that, it is God’s will for me to give […]
And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you […]
“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God […]
Writing on marriage today because two wonderful people in my life said “I do” again today. Marriage is a beautiful thing. We reap what we sow into our marriage. The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 (NLT) What comes to […]
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 […]
Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18 (NLT) In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows […]

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 […]
The little one has a strong bond with my stomach. While pregnant with his younger brother, the little one would sit with his stomach touching mine. He has special songs for my stomach and has expressed his desire for my stomach not to be small. A few days ago, he finally said, “I want to […]
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25 (kJV) Father in the name of Jesus, take away every issue of shame in my marriage. Take us back to the original state of the marriage you created in the beginning, before the curse. Give us wisdom and empower […]
Happy Independence Day, America! We don’t have a perfect nation but we have a perfect God who gives freedom. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.(2 Corinthians 3:17) This great nation will rise again. Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please […]
At some point in our lives, many of us have dealt with insecurities. We have felt unworthy, purposeless, or not good enough. Is it possible that we feel insecure because our sense of worth or value is rooted in our roles as mothers, wives, etc.? Is it possible that we feel insecure because our identity […]
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39 (kJV) I speak peace over your marriage and harmony be restored in Jesus name. 🌷❤ Let hope arise. Would you like to become a member of God’s family? […]
Today, the little one prayed for me. It was the best moment of my day. I told him my stomach was hurting and he said “First we need to pray. It is well with you in Jesus name.” I have no words to describe what it felt like. I am glad he knows we need […]
Dear friends, I am thankful for you today and everyday. Reblogging last year’s Thanksgiving post because my heart aches for families this season. Politics, the media, and the pandemic have created resentment and unresolved conflicts within the family system this year. Please reflect on good memories, and remember every soul is valuable to God. This […]
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 […]
Some cities have begun the process of reopening schools. Many people are fearful. Prayer helps us to let go of what we can’t control and embrace the peace of God. God, we pray for a hedge of protection around students of all ages. We pray for the little kids who are too young to understand […]
Recently, I came across two heartbreaking stories in the news. The first was about a father who was facing a life sentence in prison, for causing permanent damage to his newborn. The father woke up in the middle of the night to sooth his crying baby, and got more frustrated as the baby continued crying. The older son was also in the room with them, and the father got even more agitated….
“Sleep in Heavenly peace” is a beautiful melodic phrase taken from the timeless Christmas Carol classic, Silent Night. Baby Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords slept peacefully in his makeshift crib in a humble stall, while Herod and Jerusalem were troubled about his birth (Matthew 2:3). The fully grown Jesus slept so […]
Have you ever found yourself thinking or saying, “I don’t owe anybody anything “? I have. The Bible says you and I owe something. We owe humanity the gift of love. Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. […]
It’s hard, difficult and pointless to be mad at my baby because he is yet to develop the ability to differentiate between wrong and right. In fact, he smiles when I tell him he has done something wrong.
Forgiveness becomes easy when we understand that those who have wronged us or hurt us do not truly know what they are doing……..
