Encouragement and Support for Christian Stay-at-Home Mothers

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?

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.

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…
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…
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. Feeling unappreciated must be the twin sister of feeling guilty that we are not enough. But wait, just who are you doing what you are doing for? And why are you doing it anyway? Do you know?

Have you asked, “Should I stay at home or should I go out and work?” Mama, that is the wrong question to ask. Ask instead, “What is God calling me to?
