Today, my daughter was sleeping alone in her room while I was in the kitchen making dinner. Suddenly, I heard a loud cry. I knew she had woken up. She was probably hungry, needed a nappy change, or simply wanted to be held. When I walked into her room and picked her up, she rested in my arms and immediately became calm. The funny thing is, I had not fed her yet. I had not changed her nappy yet. In fact, I could see the signs of hunger, and yes, the nappy situation was definitely announcing itself too. But the moment I held her, she settled. It was as though she knew, Mama is here now. Everything will be okay. And that spoke deeply to my spirit. Sometimes we labour, panic, cry, and strive, even when we are already in the Presence of God. But there is a peace that comes from simply knowing: God is here. God has me. Everything will be alright. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. His presence may not mean every need is met instantly, but it reminds us that every need is seen, known, and will be cared for in due time. May we learn to rest in the arms of the Father, even before the answer comes. Because when God is present, peace is possible.

Sometimes I’ve had to interrupt my daughter’s sleep for different reasons. Today, I needed to get her ready for a doctor’s appointment so I woke her up. Normally, if someone wakes you up in the middle of your sleep, it is not a pleasant experience. Most of us would frown or react with frustration. But not my daughter. No matter how deeply asleep she is, when I wake her, she meets me with the most beautiful, gummy smile. And she holds that smile as long as I stay present with her, almost as if she understands there is a reason. But the moment my attention shifts, that smile slowly fades into a cry. And it stirred something in me. How do I respond when life interrupts me?When things do not go as I planned? What if I chose to meet every moment, even the uncomfortable ones, with openness first? Through her, I am learning that peace begins with how I choose to meet the moment. 🤍 Reflection Have you ever noticed how you respond when your plans are interrupted?

I did not expect motherhood to shape my spirituality like this. Lately, I have been learning so much about God just by watching my daughter. The way she trusts me without hesitation. The way she cries and then lets it go. The way she does not overthink love, she simply lives in it. At the same time, it has been confronting. I see how different I am. How often I question, hold back, or try to control things instead of trusting God fully. So this space is for those small, real moments. The quiet lessons that come in everyday life. No pressure. No perfection.Just honest reflections on motherhood, faith, and what it looks like to grow slowly. If you are in a season where God feels present in the ordinary, or you are learning to notice Him there, you will feel at home here.
