Standing in Awe of God's Peace.

-
Today, I stand in awe of what it truly means to have God’s peace.
I woke up with a knowing deep in my spirit—that no matter what today holds, it is going to be okay. Not because life is suddenly easy, but because God has already carried me through worse. He continues to carry me through every trial, every storm, every unknown.
He is with me when I walk.
He is with me when I sleep.
He is with me when I cry.
He holds me when I am weak.
He strengthens me when I stumble.
And when I fall, He catches me.
Giving God complete surrender is hard. I won’t pretend it isn’t. I am still unlearning old habits and behaviors—still laying down parts of myself I know He is asking me to change. Yet, every single day, I feel Him making me stronger. I see His hand shaping me gently, patiently.
I feel the God I call Father pouring grace over my life—and over my children.
When I look at who I was two years ago compared to who I am today, there is no comparison. I am walking in freedom. Real freedom.
God humbles me when I need correction, and He corrects me because He loves me. I now find myself pausing, asking, “What would God want?” I feel a holy ache when I haven’t spent time with Him—not guilt, but longing. A desire to be close to the One who loves me perfectly.
For the first time, I truly feel the love I so desperately craved as a child… and even as an adult. The love I searched for in people—the love I clung to, hoping it would heal me—only to be disappointed again and again. That love is now given freely, abundantly, and without condition by my Savior.
This journey hasn’t been easy.
But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Lord, please continue to soften my heart.
Correct me when I fall short.
Convict me when I do wrong.
Finish the work You have started in me.
I cannot live without Your name on my lips.
I feel sorrow for those who do not know You, Jesus. And I feel righteous anger toward anything or anyone that leads people away from the truth—that denies who You are. You are God. You are Savior. You are Lord.
You are so good to me when I don’t deserve it.
You hold me so tightly, and I never want to let go.
You are my Savior.
My Father.
My Friend.
You are my morning and my evening.
My light in the darkness.
My healer.
My defender.
My protector.
My confidence.
I pray that everyone experiences Your love the way I have—because once they do, they could never deny You.
Lord, I give You my life.
My day.
My everything.
May Your will be done. 🙏✨
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...
