How God Guides Us Through Motherhood

“Have you ever felt lost in the whirlwind of motherhood, wondering how to keep it all together? I know I have—many times. But it’s been faith that has kept me steady, guiding me through every challenge and every blessing that motherhood brings.”


My Journey as a Mom

When JJ was born, my life changed in ways I never imagined. My heart was filled with love for this tiny human, but at the same time, I was overwhelmed by the responsibility. The thought of him getting sick terrified me, and I often found myself worrying about every little thing. I remember pacing around the house, holding him close, praying, “Lord, please protect him.” The weight of motherhood felt heavy at times, but God reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this.

As I reflect on these past months, I realize that having JJ has helped me grow in every aspect of my life. God, in His infinite wisdom, knew that it was time for a real change in me—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. He knew that JJ would be a part of that transformation, and honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way. It hasn’t always been easy (lol, sleepless nights are no joke!), but it’s been a journey of learning, trusting, and surrendering. Through every moment—both the joyful ones and the tough ones—God has been shaping me into a better version of myself.

JJ has been a gift not only in the sense of being a precious son but as a reminder that God’s timing is perfect. There are days when I look at him, and I think to myself, “God, You knew I needed this.” JJ’s smile can brighten even the hardest of days, and his presence has brought such peace and purpose to my life. I’m not just growing as a mother—I’m growing as a person.

Motherhood has taught me that while I can’t always control the circumstances, I can always trust God’s plan. And every time I do, He shows up in ways I never expected.


What God Taught Me

There was another moment when I knew I had to reach out for help. A lot was happening in my life during that season, and I felt led to contact Apostle Simon Ruwa, the Founder of Disciple Building Centre International(DBCI).I didn’t know him personally at the time, but something about a post he had made on healing spoke directly to my heart. That step of faith was an act of obedience, and it was exactly what I needed in that moment of uncertainty. I’ll share more about that incredible connection in a future post.(To say the least I  didn't know that I was yielding to the voice of the Holy Spirit at that time)

But this is what I learned: Motherhood is not something we’re meant to do alone. God places the right people in our lives at the right time, and He’s always there to carry us through. The Bible says in the Book of

 Proverbs 3;5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

                   This little guy reminds me every day of God’s goodness and faithfulness in my life



How I Invite God into My Parenting

As I’ve continued on this journey, I’ve found that staying connected to God is essential. Here’s what’s helped me stay grounded:

  • Start the day with prayer. I begin every morning by asking God to guide me as I raise JJ. I ask for patience, wisdom, and most importantly, peace.
  • Lean on scripture. God’s Word has become my source of strength. One verse I turn to often is 2 Corinthians 12:9:
    “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Even     when I feel like I’m falling short, His grace is enough.
  • Surrender control. Motherhood has been a lesson in letting go and trusting that God is in control. It’s not always easy, but every time I choose to surrender, I find peace in knowing that His plan is perfect.

“God’s love for our children is even greater than ours. Rest in His guidance.”

Let’s Walk This Journey Together

Motherhood is not just about raising a child—it’s about growing ourselves. Have you experienced God’s guidance in your journey as a mother? I would love to hear your stories in the comments below. Let’s grow together in faith, learning from each other as we go.

A Word of Encouragement
I want to leave you with this verse that has been such a comfort to me in my role as a mother:

 Isaiah 41:10:

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

On the hardest days, remember that you’re not alone. This journey is about learning and growing, and God is with us every step of the way.

AMEN!

WHO ARE YOU?

There are moments in life when you find yourself asking, “God, where are You?” But the truth is, God’s response to us is always: “If only you knew, your life is in My hands, and I am taking care of you.” Even when you don’t feel it, God is protecting you, He is with you, and He has already gone ahead of you. Knowing this can inspire us to praise Him now for what we haven’t even seen in our future. As we reflect on this today, I want to speak on this very question: Where are you? Sometimes, we don’t realize how far we’ve wandered from the heart of God. We get caught up in the routines of faith but lose sight of the intimacy and fellowship we are meant to have with Him. Christianity is about relationship, not routine. Where other religions may have rituals and disciplines, Christianity is about fellowship with Jesus. But often, distractions or sins fill the gap, pulling us away from this intimacy. One of the most significant examples of this is the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of...

When People’s Opinions No Longer Define You

  Finding Your Identity in Christ — When People’s Opinions No Longer Define You There was a time in my life when I thought I knew exactly who I was. I was a partner, a mother, a woman who loved deeply and gave her all. JJ’s dad was my world — my everything. I built my sense of worth around that relationship. My heart was invested, my dreams were intertwined, and I honestly thought that was enough. But when that relationship fell apart, it felt like my whole world came crashing down. I remember nights of quiet tears, days where I smiled for everyone else but felt empty inside. His rejection broke something in me — not just my heart, but my sense of self. I didn’t know who I was anymore. And yet, that pain became the very place where God found me. It wasn’t rejection that defined me — it was God’s redemption that redefined me. The Danger of Finding Identity in People I used to measure my value by how others saw me — how well I was loved, accepted, or understood. But people’s a...
