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

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.

The evil one is very busy and seems to be on a roll these days, aided by the world wide web, trying to get our children every which way he can.

Being consistent is hard. There are many things we are able to force ourselves to do if it is a one-off project. But to consistently do something is where many of us fail. Such as exercising or reading the Bible daily. Even when it is for the good of our children such as reading aloud to them daily, we fail or forget. But there is a simple resource that can help you achieve your goals – Habit Trackers. Read more…
Letting go and trusting God is critical if we want our faith to grow. Be encouraged, however, to remember that having the faith to trust God is not an overnight thing or even a one-time thing. It is instead, a process. As we get to know Him more and better, our trust in Him naturally increases. Read more…
As we head towards 31st December, many are talking about reviewing the year that is winding down and setting goals to prepare for the year ahead. Are you caught up in it, too? Goals are good because we all know that if we do not aim for anything, we will hit it every time. But what should our goals be? As you sit and write out your goals, do not forget this important piece of your goal setting plan. Read more…
Change. Something inevitable and yet almost always dreaded. A lot of times we resist change because of the fear of the unknown and, dare I say it?… laziness! Coz we hate to have to learn something new – right? But we need to embrace change since it is inevitable as long as we are living this side of Heaven. But how? Read more…
I nearly stopped blogging. Until God spoke to me about His assignment for me. TWICE. Are you like me, feeling discouraged and a little burnt out while on assignment from the Lord? Before you give up, go back to the Lord. Ask Him if this is indeed your assignment for the season. And if so, to empower you with His holy Spirit power to press on. Never give up before checking in with Him. Read more…
Feeling unappreciated or maybe just under-appreciated lately for the work you do around the house? It certainly is no fun to be stuck in this mode. It makes everything gloomy.
