He's Risen: A heart of praise this Easter

-

As we enter this sacred season, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and awe. We are walking into the time where our Lord was crucified—where He bore the weight of the world, our sins, our shame—and yet, He rose again in victory. What a powerful truth. What an unthinkable sacrifice. What a Savior!

Last night, while I was cooking supper, I found myself singing praises—just worship pouring out while stirring pots and flipping pans. Today, with a speaker in hand, I walked through the classrooms at our school, letting worship fill the halls. The children began to dance, to laugh, to sing. My heart could hardly contain the joy. Isn’t God so wonderful?

Even my own little ones—my precious three-year-old with his arms stretched wide, and my baby girl, lifting her tiny hands to heaven—worshiping like they know exactly who the songs are for. And I believe they do. That’s the Spirit of God. That’s the presence of Jesus in our home, in our hearts.

I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness for the gift of knowing Jesus. And that’s exactly what it is—a gift. One I never earned, but one He gave freely when He stretched out His arms on that cross. My heart aches for those who don’t know Him, who haven’t tasted this love, this grace, this peace. If I could, I would shake the world and say, “Please, just believe!” Because I know—oh, I know—how their lives would change.

But as disciples of Christ, we’re not here to force faith. We’re here to plant seeds, to love, to speak truth, to praise loudly and boldly, and then trust God to do the growing.

If you’re reading this, I hope you truly realize how blessed you are to know Jesus. And if you’re still searching, I want you to know this: Jesus is waiting for you. His arms are open wide. He’s not just a historical figure—He is the Risen King, the Savior of your soul, the Lover of your heart.

This Easter season, I encourage you:

Read the Word like it's your lifeline—because it is.

Praise Him with your whole heart, even if you feel broken.

Lay your burdens down and believe He is enough.

Pray like it’s your last meal on earth and watch heaven move.


Jesus is my Savior. My Provider. My Protector. My Father. My Friend. My Peace. My Joy. My Life.
My Jesus.

And if you’ve never chosen Him before—do it now. Don’t wait.
He will save you.
All you need is faith. Just a mustard seed. That’s all it takes.

A Prayer for Easter:

Father God,
As we remember the cross and the empty tomb, we thank You for the gift of Your Son. Thank You for the blood that was shed and the victory that was won. Lord, help us to live with grateful hearts, to praise You in every moment, and to reflect the love of Jesus wherever we go.
Stir our spirits, reignite our faith, and use us to plant seeds of hope in others.
And for the one reading this who is unsure or searching—I pray they feel Your presence now. I pray they feel Your love wrapping around them. Jesus, save them, hold them, and make them new.
We love You, Lord.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen.
Hello, I’m a mom of four as a self-employed business owner, I’ve learned how to juggle many roles, often feeling stretched thin, but my faith has always been a source of strength and guidance. Life hasn’t always been easy—marriage struggles and personal challenges have tested me, but each experience has deepened my faith and understanding of who I am. This blog is a space where I share my heart, my journey, and the lessons I’m learning along the way. I hope my story can offer encouragement and connection to theirs walking their own paths of faith and growth.

When Christians Judge the Woman Who Survived.

There is a kind of heartbreak that changes you forever. Not the kind that fades after a few weeks. Not the kind people write pretty quotes about and move on from. I mean the kind of heartbreak that lives inside your body. The kind that makes your stomach tighten when someone raises their voice. The kind that teaches you to stay quiet during conflict because your mind still remembers what fear felt like. The kind that steals pieces of who you were until one day you look in the mirror and barely recognize yourself anymore. For years, I fought for my marriage. Not casually. Not halfway. I fought with everything inside me. I was married for six years, but my husband maybe lived with me for less than two of those years because of drug addiction. And before anyone rushes to judge me, let me say this honestly: I was not innocent either. I struggled too. Addiction touched both of our lives. But somewhere along the line, God changed my heart. I chose to stop. I chose my ...

January: When Childcare Providers Pay the Price for December Choices.

-
To childcare providers, educators, minders, and centre owners around the world — this one is for us. January has become one of the hardest months in early childhood education, and not because we don’t love what we do. It’s because every year, many of us start the year unpaid, unsupported, and blamed for simply asking for what is owed. After December — a month of holidays, celebrations, spending, and “jollies” — January arrives with silence. Invoices that were sent in November are suddenly “not received.” Calls are ignored. Messages go unanswered. Payments arrive short — if they arrive at all. And when we follow up? We are told we are attacking parents. We are accused of being unreasonable. We are sworn at. We are lied to. Or worse — completely ignored. Let’s be very clear about something: Childcare is not a charity. It is not optional. And it is not something you can delay paying for without consequences. When fees go unpaid in January, it doesn’t just affect a business on paper. It me...

The Gift That Made Me Homesick.

Lately, this world feels foreign. Not dark. Not unbearable. Just temporary. The noise feels louder. The striving feels emptier. The rush for things that fade feels thinner than it once did. And deep inside, there is a quiet pull — not downward, but upward. A homesickness. Scripture says we are strangers and pilgrims on the earth (see Hebrews 11:13). I used to read that as poetic language. Now I feel it in my bones. I belong to Another. And His name is Jesus. 🌿 The Gift That Reveals the Father The gift of Jesus is not only about salvation. It is about revelation. When the Father gave His Son, He was not just solving a sin problem — He was unveiling His heart. In John 3:16, we read that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. He gave. Not because we were good. Not because we were stable. Not because we had proven ourselves worthy. But because love is who He is. Jesus shows us that God is not distant. He is not cold. He is not measuring us with a disappointed sigh. He steps int...
