Encouragement and Support for Christian Stay-at-Home Mothers
2 deaths from near-drowning. 2 deaths that could have been avoided. When you care for young children, “don’t be complacent” should be our mantra. It is a grave reminder that we cannot lapse into complacency especially when young children are under our care. Be it at the pool or the playground. Or even at home. Accidents can and do happen anywhere. Read more…
Gone is gone. Death’s finality often makes me think. This time around, I am thinking… have I prepared my children adequately for Life? Have I taught them not just life skills but how to live a life that glorifies God? And also, how ready am I to meet my Maker? Have I been faithfully fulfilling my assignment in the Lord? Read more…
God calls children a heritage and a reward. Children are gifts from God. But, do we agree with God’s view of children? Do we truly SEE them as gifts and rewards? Not just SAY that they are. Because words are cheap. When you see children as God does, how you mother your children will change. Read more…
“I am just going to pray.” I am slowly but surely learning to say this and do this when faced with stressful situations. But it isn’t an easy lesson to learn at all. Worry is my default mode. But if I want the God of Peace to be with me. I need to do this. Read more…
21 Years Old! We now have an adult child in our house. Woah! Trusting God rises to another level when you have adult children. Learning to bite my tongue and back off is another on-going lesson one learns when we have adult children. But God is so good. Read more…

Then how did I end up accepting that Jesus is the ONLY way to God the Father? Why is an educated person following a religion that claims resurrection power? Read more…
I never wanted to have any children. But God has a sense of humour as you would have found out as you read through the other parts of this series. For someone who did not want any children, He gave seven. But God changed both our minds and hearts. Drastically. How? Read more…
Never Be A Stay-At-Home-Mother is Part 3 of My 4 Nevers. I never intended to be a SAHM and yet I have been one for more than 20 years. Only God. It started out as being a practical decision but by God’s grace, He used my journey of being a SAHM to mould and transform me for His kingdom’s purposes. God’s ways are surely not my ways! Read more…
I grew up in the 70s where the hippie, free-love movement coincided with the easy accessibility of The Pill. Since children were no longer a consequence of sex, what’s the point of marriage? Co-habitation for the win! Or so I thought. I happily lapped up the glamorous images and spiel spun by the media. I was sold. Getting married was so old school! But God had a better plan. Read more…
My 4 Nevers is part of a 5-part series of my testimony of how God changed my perspective and mindset on four of the things I used to say I would never do or be.
