During the week, the little one told me he was sad, but he does not know the reason for his sadness. So, we did one of the things I do when I am sad- Sing songs of praise and thank God! I do not only sing because I am happy, I sing when I am […]
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 […]

The most powerful and comforting Word I heard today: Isaiah 51:12-13 (NIV) I, even I, am he who comforts you.

This reading plan was written for such a time as this. We need love, empathy, and a strong awareness of God’s presence, amid persecution. I had a strong urge to write this plan and I got it done by God’s grace. 7 doctoral courses, 2 little ones and more… and I have not lost my […]
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 […]
I am currently writing a paper on mindful parenting from the moment of conception. So I thought to take a moment and remind you that our Father in heaven is always mindful of you. He was mindful of us before our conception and He will forever be mindful of us. God, the creator of the […]
You are reading this today because I was not aborted by my late mom despite external pressure. To me, abortion is personal and it is a matter of faith. My views on this subject is not based on politics or popular opinion. This post is for the mom considering aborting her unborn due to financial […]
Mindfulness is a way of life. It isn’t just something we do 15 mins or 1 hour every day. Mindfulness is being non-judgmental. This way of life emerges between ages 4 to 6.
