The following post is very special. It is a guest post written by my husband, Patrick, and is a reflection on the birth of our son, and how it made him feel. He was an incredible support during the birth and is an amazing father. If you haven’t read our birth story, you can do so here. … More When God Blessed Me With a Son
Sunday mornings can be stressful. In this season of motherhood, I dread the morning rush and all the potential mishaps and mayhem that can happen along the way (blow-outs, anyone?). Not only that, but there’s the training of my now-teachable-but-still-fidgety child during the worship hour to look forward to. Training up a child to love … More Dear Mum, God Cares About Your Hectic Sunday Mornings
Today was Sunday, a day I have often thought of as the high point of my week – a day to refuel myself and refill my empty cup, allowing me to focus my mind and start off my week with God at the forefront of my mind. But like just about every Sunday of late, … More Dear Young Mum, Don’t Expect Sunday to Fill Your Cup
We were laying and chatting casually on the bed, when my husband suddenly got up. “I’m going to have a shower.” “Ok! Well, if you’re going to have a shower, then could you please bring me my iPad? The baby will probably feed for another 20 minutes.” My husband rolled his eyes and laughed, “…Because … More The Day I Remembered to Be Still
“I’m so glad everything went okay for you in the end. It’s so hard to explain to other women how scary giving birth is!” Post birth, I was a bit taken back by these words. Scary? I hadn’t found the prospect or the process of birth scary at all. It was something I was prepared … More Ezekiel’s Birth Story
When people think of the biblical idea of a woman, they generally think of a woman who is subservient, dim-witted, weak, and has no control over her life. However, when we see Gods picture of an ideal woman, we see the complete opposite -we see a woman who is in control. We see someone who is … More She Is Strong: Strengthening Every Part of Our Being {Proverbs 31}
Upon reading an article about one Singaporean pastor’s reaction and opposition to the LGBT Pink Dot festival held in Singapore (whose behaviour I must admit, sounded pretty irrational), one of my coworkers made a remark about how unloving some people were, then turned to me and said, “What would Jesus do?! He would just love everyone … More Love Wins, Every Time
We are taught it by Snow White and the Disney princesses from the time we are toddlers. We see posts about it almost everyday on our Facebook news feeds. We hear the young girls around us whisper about it and see the excitement in their eyes… then as they get older, the desperation. Perhaps we’ve … More The One Person You Need to Marry
[This article contains a frank conversation about intimacy in marriage. Please read this only if you are mature enough to handle such things – and if such things are likely to offend you, please refrain from reading. Thank you!] “Satan tries his best to make people have as much sex as possible before marriage, and … More Awakening Love: What to Do When You Just Don’t Want It
I’ve written before about how I am incredibly thankful my mother talked to me about sex before I got married. Unfortunately there are many girls who didn’t have as good an experience as I. These same girls often go into marriage carrying with them damaging misconceptions and/or expectations. I’ve had women confide in me such … More Talking Dirty // Why Christian Girls Struggle to Understand Sexuality (and How We Can Help)
