You Are Not Alone !

 Titus 2:3–5 (KJV) “The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”💜

I believe that as women—whether we are mothers, wives, daughters, or pastors—we all need a mentor. We were never meant to walk alone. Mentorship brings guidance, wisdom, accountability, and spiritual covering, especially in seasons when both life and calling feel heavy. For me, I did not have a mentor. I had to learn through prayer, fasting, and often by learning the hard way. God was faithful, but some lessons came through pain and isolation. I do not desire that path for anyone else. No woman should have to struggle alone when wisdom is available through godly guidance. I do not want my daughter to experience what I did—having to learn everything the hard way without guidance or mentorship. My prayer is that as she grows, she will be surrounded by godly women who can pour into her, guide her, and walk with her in wisdom. I desire for my daughter to reflect Titus 2 as she grows—not out of pressure, but through example. I want her to see women who live with integrity, faith, and love, women who teach not only with words but with their lives. I want her to learn early that she is not alone, that seeking wisdom is strength, and that godly mentorship is a gift. If my journey had to be difficult, let it be so the next generation will be covered, supported, and equipped. This is my prayer—not only for my daughter, but for all daughters—that they would grow under godly leadership, rooted in truth, and surrounded by women who reflect Titus 2. Because of this, my heart is for women to understand that they are not alone. I desire to see women become leaders who reflect the heart of Titus 2—women who teach, encourage, and model godly living for the next generation. Older women mentoring younger women, not in perfection, but in faithfulness, love, self-control, and truth. As leaders, we are called to live lives that can be followed. Titus 2 reminds us that leadership is not only from the pulpit, but through example—through character, humility, and consistency. When women walk together in mentorship, healing happens, growth happens, and strength is multiplied.

Prayer 🙏

Father God today we pray for all the broken. For all who were neglected and ignored. I pray for a revival in our nation. Help us be the new generation that reflects Jesus' love, grace and mercy. In the name of Jesus Amen. 

I Will Surely Show You Kindness!

 “So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” II Samuel 9:7  

💛 When leadership becomes about competition instead of covering, when titles matter more than souls, and when insecurity replaces discipleship, isolation is the fruit. Many leaders are lonely not because God abandoned them—but because relationships were sacrificed on the altar of control. We must ask the sobering question: What will happen when Jesus returns? Will He find leaders who protected their platforms—or shepherds who protected His people?

Will He see women who guarded their influence—or spiritual mothers who poured themselves out? Will He say, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” or “Why did you scatter what I entrusted to you?” Jesus warned that many would say, “Lord, Lord,” yet miss His heart (Matthew 7:21–23). He is not returning for impressive ministries—He is returning for faithful ones. He is not counting followers; He is examining fruit. If competition is allowed to replace compassion, the church will continue to wound those it was meant to heal. But if repentance restores our vision, the church can once again become a refuge instead of a proving ground. There is still time. May we lay down comparison before it costs us connection. May we choose legacy over spotlight. And may we be found lifting others when the King returns—not standing alone, wondering where everyone went. This is one of the reasons so many pastors are walking alone today. The kingdom of God was never built through rivalry.

By His grace, I survived what should have broken me. And today, I see the same pattern repeating. Grace met brokenness at the table. The church must become one again. The answer is repentant leadership and courageous mentorship. The next generation does not need flawless women; they need available, humble, prayerful ones. May we never be the reason a woman stop going to church. Lets be the women who lift carefully, speak truth lovingly, and guard what God entrusts to us. And may no woman have to say again, “I left the church, I was betrayed in the house of the Lord.”

Prayer: 🙏
Father God! I pray 2026 will start the change with myself and my daughter. We ask for a breakthrough. Let us never be indifferent to any other young girl or woman. Help us heal. Help us restore. Father God Please forgive us! Help us again become the Church. Help us Love as you Love. Help us be the humble mentor. Lord, heal the wounds caused by silence and neglect. Forgive us where we have failed to lift others. Make us spiritual mothers who protect, guide, and nurture what You are birthing in this generation. Amen.

“A Call for Spiritual Mothers in the Church”

Scripture: 2 Samuel 4:4; 2 Samuel 9:1–7 Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was Lame in his feet. He was five years old when he news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel' and his nurse took him up and fled and it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell and because lame, his name was Mephibosheth. Now David said, "Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, Thant I may show him darkness for Jonathan's sake? 🕮

When I first came to Christ, I was hungry for God—but I was hungry alone. I did not have a spiritual woman to pray for me, to walk with me, or to lift me when my faith felt fragile. I loved God, yet I often felt like I was learning how to stand while already wounded. My hunger for God was undeniable—but so was my isolation. My testimony is real, and it is not polished. I was not embraced; I was ignored. I was met with silence. I was overlooked by women who were supposed to lead, guide, and cover me spiritually—and that silence became humiliating.

I was a new believer, yet God was already speaking to me through prophetic dreams and spiritual gifts I did not understand and did not know how to manage. I needed instruction. I needed discernment. I needed  a spiritual mother. Instead, I was left to navigate holy encounters alone while facing walls built by fear, jealousy, or unresolved wounds in others. That is what many women experience in the church today. Not everyone who wounds us does so by words. 

Some were wounded by absence. Some were wounded by silence. Some wound by refusing to see what God is doing in someone else. I made so many mistakes for not having a role as a leader pastor. It’s crucial to have a mentor. We all need mentors in our life. 

A mentor is more than a teacher; they are a living example of faith in action. Through guidance, correction, prayer, and encouragement, my mentor pastor helped shape my character, sharpen my calling, and strengthen my discipline in ministry.

The ministry is not built overnight. Just as a farmer patiently plants seeds and waits for growth, a pastor must faithfully sow the Word of God, love, prayer, and service—even when results are not immediately visible. My mentor taught me that consistency in sowing produces fruit in God’s perfect timing.

As a woman pastor, this discipline has been especially important. There are seasons of testing, moments of doubt, and times when obedience requires quiet strength. Through mentorship, I learned to remain rooted in humility, submission to God, and trust in His calling on my life. I learned that sowing faithfully—whether into people, the church, or my own spiritual growth—will always bring a harvest when done in faith.

Mentorship has also taught me accountability. A mentor pastor provides wisdom, correction, and support, helping me stay aligned with God’s purpose. This guidance has empowered me to walk confidently in my calling as a woman pastor, knowing that God equips those He calls. I want my daughter to be able to have a mentor too. Later, in years God brought me a mentor who is more than a mentor to my family. I needed a spiritual mother; I cried many times asking God to send me help. Today, I continue to plant and sow with patience, discipline, and faith, trusting that God will bring increase. My journey as a woman pastor is a testimony that mentorship, obedience, and faithful sowing prepare us for lasting impact in ministry. Scripture introduces us to Mephibosheth, a child whose life was altered in a moment. When his father died, the nurse who was carrying him dropped him, and he became lame in both feet. The tragedy was not only the loss of his father, but the fall that followed (2 Samuel 4:4). He survived—but he survived broken. If you were dropped by any leader; this is not your fault. Be the change you want for your sons and daughters.

Many women come into the church like Mephibosheth. They are alive in Christ, yet carrying wounds from being dropped—by people they trusted, by leaders who were absent, or by women who were too hurt themselves to help. Some were never intentionally harmed; they were simply not held with care. As pastors and mature women in the faith, we must ask ourselves: Are we lifting—or are we dropping the next generation? God later restores Mephibosheth through King David, who calls him to the table and reminds him of his identity and inheritance (2 Samuel 9). What Mephibosheth could not fix on his own, grace was repaired through relationship. Healing came when someone intentionally reached for him. Today, many say it is hard to trust women in the church—and often that pain is real. But mistrust is not healed by distance; it is healed by godly models. The answer is not fewer spiritual mothers, but healthier ones. New believers—especially women—are coming into the church gifted, sensitive to the Spirit, hungry for God, yet unsupported. They are being told to “wait” without being taught how. They are being seen as threats instead of daughters. And many are quietly becoming spiritually crippled—not because God failed them, but because those assigned to carry them did not know how, or chose not to. As pastors and seasoned women of faith, this is a holy warning. We are not called to compete with the next generation—we are called to cover them. We are not called to test their worthiness—we are called to disciple them. We are not called to silence the gifts—we are called to help steward them. We are not called to repeat their mistakes. We are not called to hurt back; instead pray, forgive and blessed. Yes, trust has been broken. Yes, walls exist. But the answer is not distance—it is repentant leadership and courageous mentorship. The next generation does not need flawless women; they need available, humble, prayerful ones. May we never be the reason a woman limps when she is meant to walk boldly. May we be women who lift carefully, speak truth lovingly, and guard what God entrusts to us. And may no woman have to say again, “I cried out, and no one came.”

Titus 2 calls older women to teach, encourage, and guide the younger. Not perfectly—but faithfully. Not from a place of superiority—but from humility and prayer. The next generation of women does not need perfection. They need presence. They need women who will pray when they are weak, speak truth when they are confused, and lift them carefully when their faith is still forming. May we be the women who carry others well. May we be trusted not because we are flawless, but because we are faithful. And may no woman say again, “I came to Christ alone,” when God has called us to walk together. In Butterfly by Grace I want you to know that you are not alone! Raise your voice. Be the change! Let’s help the new young women find their true identity in Jesus Christ! We are better together! We need each other! "Let’s be the church again". "Let’s turn to Jesus for help and make Jesus proud". "Please help me make the church a safe place again for broken women to be restored and not push or bully". "Help me spread this message of faith". 2026 I pray that we break the curse of not being the role model that Jesus was". "In the name of Jesus I bind every spirit of lies manipulation and division every spirit of jealousy between leaders, spirit of controlling and spirit of spiritual blindness must come down. I command you to go to the pit".

Prayer: Lord, heal the places where we have been dropped. Shape us into women who lift, nurture, and guide others with Your heart. Teach us to be spiritual mothers who reflect Your grace In the name of Jesus Amen. 💛

Devotional for Nurses & Preceptors: “Hands That Heal, Hearts That Reflect Christ”

 Scripture:

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

Nursing is holy ground. Every shift places us at the bedside of the broken, the fearful, the dying, and the hopeful. We are entrusted with lives. Yet, within this sacred calling, many new nurses walk through fire—misunderstood, belittled, rushed, and sometimes treated without dignity. In places like the ER, pressure is high, but that pressure must never excuse injustice.

Once upon a time this is my story too. I learned to turn injustice with a blessing. I learned to not let the ER label me. I knew at the moment that failure was not my name. “You are the God who sees” (Isaiah 40:27). “You are the God who sees me”. (Genesis 16:13)

Preceptors are not just trainers; they are gatekeepers of the future of nursing. Their words can either build or destroy. A single sentence can shape confidence—or plant fear. God sees every interaction. Heaven records every moment where power is used to uplift or to wound.

As a new nurse, I experienced unfairness and a lack of respect. There were moments when quitting felt easier than continuing. But I did not give up. By God’s grace, I earned my BSN, and now I am pursuing my Master’s degree. What the enemy meant to silence me, God used to strengthen me. In Butterfly by Grace Mommy and daughter blog  This devotional is a call to every nurse and preceptor: You are not only shaping skills—you are shaping souls. Jesus said, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for Me” (Matthew 25:40). That includes the new nurse trembling on their first code, the graduate still finding their voice, the one who learns differently, the one who is afraid to ask. God cannot be mocked. What we sow in others, we will reap. If we sow harshness, we reap division. If we sow mercy, we reap healing. If we sow pride, we reap broken teams. But if we sow grace, patience, and truth in love, we reap a generation of nurses who stand strong. Preceptor, you are a shepherd. You can say: “You’re doing better than you think.” “I’m here. Ask me.” “Let’s learn this together.”
Or you can crush a spirit with silence, sarcasm, or impatience.

One path reflects Christ. The other reflects the world. 2026 Let this be the year nursing turns back to God. Let our units become places where excellence and compassion walk together. Where correction is given with honor. Where teaching flows from humility. Where no nurse feels alone.

Prayer:
Lord, cleanse our hearts in the nursing profession. Forgive us where we have wounded instead of healed, where we have used power instead of love. Teach every preceptor to reflect Your heart. Raise up nurses who do not grow bitter, but become better. Heal those who were mistreated. Restore their confidence. Let our hands carry skill and our mouths carry life. May every unit become an altar where Your presence is felt. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Nurses Keep Your Hearts Clean

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” — Matthew 5:7

In  Butterfly by Grace Mommy and Daughter Blog as a Register Nurse I have been feeling the need to pray for all nurses.  This is a calling to every nurse new, seasoned, tired, gifted, struggling, and still standing. Nurses to guard your heart. Do not let bitterness, pride, gossip, or burnout contaminate the calling God placed on your life. The hospital may be busy, stressful, and imperfect—but your spirit does not have to become hardened. Do not forget the prayer you whispered when you first arrived. The prayer that said, “Lord, help me.”  “Lord, teach me.” “Lord, use my hands.” That prayer still matters. God still hears it. Nurses are called to mercy—not only for patients, but for one another. We are called to be humble. 

 If you are a nurse educator then you must know to use mercy when you teach. Teach with patience, not frustration. Remember that you were once learning too. You did not know everything. Someone slowed down for you. Someone explained again. Someone showed you grace. Be humble and remember God is watching our every move!  Treat new nurses with respect.  They are not a burden—they are a responsibility and a blessing. The same mercy that carried you through your early days is the mercy you are now called to give. Correction does not require cruelty.  Excellence does not require humiliation.  Leadership does not require hardness of heart.

Jesus served with compassion, even when He was tired. He corrected it with love. He taught with patience. If we claim His name, our hands must reflect His heart.  Let your unit be a place where: Prayer is remembered, even if silently, Mercy is practiced, not withheld, Patience is taught, not forced, Respect is given, not earned through fear.  This is not just about being a good nurse. This is about honoring the calling. The next time you teach or train a new nurse; remember to be merciful as Jesus had mercy with you. Practice Love and respect. If you want to see a change; start by being the change. 

Prayer

Lord, call our hearts back to You. Keep us from becoming contaminated by pride, anger, or impatience. Help us remember the prayers we once prayed and live them out daily. Teach us to lead with mercy, teach with patience, and treat every nurse with respect. May our work reflect Your love. In the name of Jesus let every new nurse feel welcome. Amen.

He Call His Sheep by Name!

 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory… He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” — Matthew 25:31–32

Jesus warned us that a day is coming when everything will be revealed. He will separate the sheep from the goats—those who truly belong to Him from those who only appeared to. This is not a parable meant to frighten us, but to awaken us. It is a call to examine our hearts and our lives. Time is almost up.

We are living in days where faith can look like routine, and Christianity can become culture instead of conviction. Many know about God, but few walk with Him. Many hear the Word, but do not live it. The sheep are known by their obedience, their love, their surrender. The goats may stand near, but they never truly follow.

Jesus makes it clear: belonging to Him is not about appearance—it is about relationship and fruit. The sheep hear His voice and respond. They forgive. They serve. They love. They remain faithful even when it is hard. This is why we must stay awake.

Families are breaking. Hearts are growing cold. Distractions are endless. Yet heaven is still speaking. God is still calling. Mercy is still available. But the door will not remain open forever. Now is the time to return. Now is the time to align our homes, our words, and our choices with heaven.

We cannot afford to live halfway. We cannot delay repentance. We cannot assume tomorrow is guaranteed. Today is the day to choose—to follow, to obey, to love, to live as sheep who know their Shepherd.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, search our hearts. We do not want to be near You without belonging to You. Awaken us from every form of spiritual sleep. Teach us to hear Your voice and follow You fully. Align our families with Your truth. Let us live as Your sheep—faithful, obedient, and ready. We choose You today. In Your name, Amen.

Stay Awake and Alert!

 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:6

The year has already begun, yet many homes remain wounded, relationships strained, and hearts drifting far from God’s design. The Bible calls us to stay awake and alert—not in fear, but in spiritual awareness. This is not a season for slumber. It is a time to rise, to watch, and to guard what God has entrusted to us: our faith, our children, our marriages, and our calling.

To be awake means to live with discernment. It means recognizing the subtle ways the enemy tries to divide families, dull prayer, and normalize distance from God. Spiritual sleep does not happen overnight—it comes through neglect, distraction, and compromise. Little by little, prayer fades. The Word is set aside. Forgiveness is delayed. And soon, hearts grow cold.

But God, in His mercy, is calling us back. He is calling mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters to stand in the gap. He is awakening homes to become altars again. He is stirring hearts to return to prayer, to forgiveness, to obedience. We cannot afford to be passive while families are breaking and generations are being lost. Now is the time to watch over our homes with love, truth, and faith.

To stay alert is to live intentionally—choosing God daily. It is forgiving quickly, praying faithfully, and teaching our children to seek the Lord. It is refusing to normalize chaos and instead declaring peace. It is believing that even what seems broken can be restored by the power of Christ.

Butterflies are transformed, not by accident, but by process. In the same way, God is transforming us. He is calling us out of spiritual sleep and into purpose. Let us rise. Let us watch. Let us build homes that reflect His heart. In Butterfly by Grace Mommy and daughter blog we are making a call today to everyone to turn to God in 2026. The time is now. The time is today. Do not wait! This is a 911 with tears I am asking to please turn to God. This is a warning! 

Prayer:
Father God, awaken our hearts. Remove every trace of spiritual sleep from our homes and families. Teach us to watch, to pray, and to stand firm in truth. Heal what is broken, restore what has been lost, and draw every heart back to You. Make our homes places of light in a dark world. We choose to stay awake and alert, anchored in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
