Encouragement and Support for Christian Stay-at-Home Mothers
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.

“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…

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…

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.
