Diary of Pregnancy #7 – My Homebirthing Journey
As I write this post to document my home birthing journey, I want to first give glory and praise and thanksgiving to God who saw us through our very first home birth. IÂ want to acknowledge his hand upon all of us. The birth process as He designed it is indeed wonderful! Home birth – planned […] Read more…
Depending on God

Held Hostage by the Children!
Do you sometimes feel that you are held hostage by your children? I have been reading and hearing about children who rule the home with their behaviour and it makes me sad. They have become the kings and queens that their parents have to pay homage to. We need to be firm and parent in love. Read more…
