Millennial Caribbean Mom

  I am currently in a season of self discovery and self care. I often times tend to feel burn out and frustrated and then the Lord had to remind me that it is important for me to take care of my body.  Our bodies are God's temple and so we must take care of it. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 states that,  " Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." In this new year, I am paying it forward by taking care of myself in every way. I am focusing on my Mental, Spiritual and Physical health.  I am learning that if I don't love myself then I cannot show love and be my brother's keeper.  Here are some ways that you can take of your Mental and Spiritual Health: You can read the Word daily and remind yourself about who God says you are  You can pray to God daily and include Him in all areas of your life and before you make hard ...

  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.

FINDING PURPOSE  If you told me 5 years ago that I will become a single mother, I would definitely tell you otherwise.  I am led to share this story with you.  In January of 2016, I had a medical abortion. The fetus had some abnormal complications and the doctors saw it best for me to abort it. I was 4 months pregnant. That journey was a rough one as I was not yet a born-again Christian. However, I believed in God. During the months after that I couldn't cope with the loss and I kept questioning why it had to happen. Why my first child? Why me? I didn't seek counseling to deal with the loss and I would constantly be crying or thinking about it.  I had prayed to God asking him to bless me with another child. In November 2016, I found out I was pregnant again and this time it was with my ex who was in another relationship at the time.  He answered my prayer but not in the way that I would expect. During pregnancy, I had to get used to doing things on my own as ...

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day offers a day of remembrance to parents, family and friends for pregnancy loss and infant death.  Pregnancy loss and infant death may include but are not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or the death of a new born.   I have a reason to reflect on this day as I went through pregnancy loss. A lot of mothers don't usually share their story. However, I believe it helps in the healing process.  Four years ago, I had to do a medical abortion because my son had a rare medical condition. I was four months pregnant at the time. It was the most devastating experience that I went through.  As I reflect on the journey, I just want to thank God for his grace and mercy as He kept me during my lowest.  I kept questioning and asking why it had to happen to me and I tried to replay all the ways that I could've had a healthy child. However, now I know that it was God's will for it to happen.  After going through ...

                            Don't Give Up We are now in the month of October and then it will be December. Then it will be 2021. Time really passes by quickly.  👀 This year has been filled with its ups and downs. However, you can still accomplish anything that you set your mind to.  Remember that God is still in control and He never fails. His timing is perfect. 🙏 For the parents that are about to start Virtual school with your children, just know that you will get through this. You overcame all of the other hardships in your life. You will definitely conquer this journey. This will be a completely new experience for me as my daughter will be starting Kindergarten. 😶 My baby is growing up.  Just remember that there is a first time for every thing- relax and don't be too hard on yourself. We have to work together with the teachers and be there for our children to encourage them in this new space of le...

LEAVING THE CORPORATE WORLD I n 2019, the Holy spirit was leading me to start my journey of entrepreneurship. This happened after I resigned from a job in the Corporate world. Without consulting God, I decided to move to Kingston because the salary was quite appealing. I took the risk to leave my daughter who was 18 months at the time. I felt uneasy during the entire process of moving to Kingston but I didn’t take heed to my feeling of uneasiness.  I was at the Corporate job for only 3 weeks and nothing was going right. After I resigned, I was wondering what I would do next. During this time, I was still Freelancing on Upwork and also working with another client who I met on Upwork.   JESUS IS MY PROVIDER I continued to tithe and God was my provider throughout the journey. I didn’t lack as all my needs were taken care of. In November 2019, I saw an open position for a Customer Service position. It was an opportunity for me to work remotely. I had always w...

REMEMBERING THE PAST In 2016, I was not yet baptized but I always believed in God. I was a hopeless case when I found out that I was pregnant; wondering if I will ever make it as a single mother. 😓 I was beating myself up about the decision I made. I wasn't ready mentally for this new season of my life. Postpartum took a toll on me in the first few weeks after giving birth in 2017. I wanted to end my life and even my child’s life. I had to cry out to God for him to heal me as I was mentally broken and overwhelmed. I felt alone and worthless and I kept wondering why me?   However, fast forward to 2020 and I am living my life according to God’s will. Everything is now falling into place. His ways are better than my ways. Motherhood is a part of my purpose. Since the birth of my daughter, there has been a shift in my life. I got baptized in 2018, after I decided that there was nothing left in the world for me to rely on and I knew that God was always with me. 💗 He w...
