Millennial Caribbean Mom

  As a Christian mom, one of the things you are mandated to do is to pray for your children. Prayer is a powerful way to partner with God to help you to raise your children. Praying for all areas of their lives is very important. You may be wondering how exactly can you pray for your children.  In this blog post, we'll explore practical ways Christian moms can pray for their children, along with some specific prayers that can help you feel connected to God and confident in your role as a mother. Why Is Praying for Your Children Important? Before we dive into the "how," it's important to understand why prayer matters. Prayer is more than just words we say to God. It is a way to communicate with Him, trust in His will, and seek His help. For Christian moms, praying for your children is an act of love and it deepens our trust in God who is the author and finisher of our faith. When you pray for your children, you're asking God to watch over them, guide them, and...

  Some people will never understand your story. However, that's okay. Our validation doesn't come from man but God. He is the author and finisher of our faith.  I know that I have not been on here for quite awhile for I am back to share with you. I was living in another city for almost 2 years raising my daughter who will be 7 years old.  That's right, I now have a 7 year old child.  It has not been an easy journey. Motherhood is not as simple as it looks. It is a sacrifice. God has been good and he never fails. I have been amazed at the wonderful things that my daughter has been doing and her  passion for life.  There are days when I felt like giving up doing it by myself but I always remember that  God didn't bring me this far to leave me.  For all single mothers, continue to trust God and know that He will never leave you or forsake you.

  God has been faithful. We are in a new year. We have overcome the worst and are ready to prepare for a new season.  Keep focusing on the new things that are coming to you. Keep hopeful knowing that God is the same as yesterday, today and forevermore. He will make a way for you where there seems to be no way. Continue to trust as your Provider, Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promiser Keeper. He won't fail you. Be encouraged and don't keep remembering the past but know that He is doing a new thing according to Isaiah 43:19 - Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 

  I haven't been blogging for quite awhile but I am being lead to start the process again. I am currently going through a difficult situation but I am leaving everything in God's hands.  I know He didn't bring me this far to leave me. He is the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow. He will never leave me or forsake me.  I am reminding myself of his goodness and faithfulness.  Even in the midst of uncertainty, just know that all things are working for your good. 

  There are a lot of mothers out there that would love to breastfeed their child. Breastfeeding is really a roller coaster ride. No one prepares you for it and shows you how to stop doing it. I am going to be sharing a little about my breastfeeding journey and how I eventually stopped breastfeeding. GOT MILK? When I gave birth to my daughter in 2017, no one prepared me for the journey that I would endure. My milk ducts were totally dried up and the nurses were telling me that I MUST breastfeed my daughter. However, after showing them all of my attempts to extract milk, they finally gave in and offered to give her some formula. I thought they would make her starve to death due to their strict breast feeding policy. I was finally able to breastfeed after 5 days. My flow of milk was also very slow and I had no choice but to supplement breastfeeding with formula. She was constantly crying after she was breastfed and I knew she was still hungry. When I left the hospital, the nurses had ...

  As we wave goodbye to the old year and welcome in a new one, it's an exciting time to reflect on the previous year and to give God thanks for the hurdles that you overcame. 🙏 The new year is a chance to start fresh, set goals, and make positive changes. If you're looking to make the most of the new year, the first step is to take some time to reflect on the past year and think about the lessons you have learnt and also remember to celebrate your wins.   What did you achieve? What goals did you set but not quite reach? What could you have done differently? Taking the time to consider these questions will give you a better sense of what you want to focus on for 2023. Once you've reflected on the past year, you can start making plans for the year ahead and ask the Lord to guide your steps and help you to be disciplined and consistent. Proverbs 16:9 says The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps .  Consider what you want to focus on and w...
