As I walked through my garden, it was my intent to pluck a few blooms to bring into the house and enjoy ~~ the aroma is simply indescribable! One of our trees is soooo tall ~~ now for those of you who know me, you’re chuckling right about now, because you know at 5’1″ (woohoo!), […]

“Purpose In Life.”
Funny how this blossoming tree simply showcases her beauty ~~ I suppose, nature was designed just that way ~~ to follow through on its “Assignment” as God ordained. I love my plumeria trees ~~ they openly display to me the tenderness of God to surround me with such aromatic grandeur! My yard is filled with […]
“My Disappointments Are God’s Divine Appointments”
17 Though the fig tree does not blossom And there is no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive fails And the fields produce no food, Though the flock is cut off from the fold And there is no cattle in the stalls, 18 Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the […]
“Motherhood Renewed My Faith”
I’ve always envisioned having a family and that concept became closer to a reality once I married my husband, Dave. We’ve thought and discussed, given our diverse backgrounds: he of Irish and Italian decent, and I of Filipino and African-American. Daydreaming what our offspring would look like, and if their behavior traits would mirror ours. […]
“The Role Reversal of Motherhood”
Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. As time passes, some of us come to the point in our lives where we are mothering our own moms. Medical issues can ravage the body too soon, or with […]

“Passing it On.”
You shall love the Lord with all your heart, soul and might … teach them diligently to your children … at home … on the road … when you raise up and when you lay down. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 I had never appreciated my Heavenly Father and my earthly mom as much as I do […]
As a young mother, I strived to raise my children to be good citizens and assets to society. I was able to be a stay-at-home mom and credited their success from my devotion to them. When we brought my dying mother to care for her in our home, I began to realize there was something […]
“Coffee’s On.”
I grew up drinking coffee. A little in my milk in grade school ~~ can you believe it ~~ a kindergartner drinking coffee?! Half milk and half coffee in middle school; by high school it was black, no sugar. It was how we lived, how we communicated. Everything was discussed over a cup of coffee. […]
“Mom’s Job Description”
There is no book, class, well meaning family member, or friend that can ever prepare you for the roller coaster ride you embark on as a mother. The joys of a new baby to the endless sleepless nights that don’t go away as they grow older. Regardless of age, they will always be your child […]
