When I was pregnant with my first child, I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition characterized by severe vomiting and nausea. This illness was so intense that I couldn’t keep anything down, not even water, to stay hydrated. I lost over 20 pounds due to sickness. Mentally, I struggled during this time, wondering how something…
Who nurtured the woman who gave birth? Who gave her the love she needed and the care she deserved at such a tender age? Who validated and told her she was special and wasn’t a mistake? Who told her that she was created in the image of God and that her worth was found in…

I’ve listened to men speak, heard the unspoken words echoing in their silence. I’ve seen their hearts fracture yet still strive to stand resilient. I’ve witnessed them giving everything, receiving nothing in return. I think of the man who yearns to be nurtured but is instead discarded, leaving him paralyzed in some areas. Where can…
Scripture Mark 9:23-24 NLT [22]…”Have mercy on us and help us if you can.” “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” [24] The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” Let’s Break it Down Have you ever faced a situation…
