Be inspired to build, nurture, and enjoy wholesome relationships. I talk about family life, love, relationships, marriage, faith, and all things beautiful.
You can receive a supernatural confirmation for the choice of a spouse and still struggle in marriage because you're too stubborn to change that bad behaviour.
Marriage is a good opportunity to smoothen your rough edges. Even the ones you never knew you had.
Happy new week from my lover, and I 😍😍 We're officially counting down 29 days to 14 years since our happy ever after began🥰😍😭 Feels just like yesterday. What an incredibly beautiful journey. I absolutely love it here.
It was the first day of August, which is my birthday month. The joy and excitement were undeniable, and my husband was gracious enough to capture it in these photos as we celebrated the Building Forever Friendships Festival. It does feel good to be surrounded by good friends, and an extra point when your spouse is your number 1 bestie😉🥰 #flashbackfriday#bfffestival#aposstleoflove#friendships
Marriage can easily feel like a routine over time if you aren't true friends with your spouse. Friendship is the secret sauce that maintains the spark, warmth, and excitement in your home! 💖
A true friend sticks closer than a brother and loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17). Jesus Himself demonstrated the ultimate depth of love when He showed us what it means to lay down one's life for a friend. Just like marriage, friendship is a covenant.
Orgem and I continue to intentionally nurture our friendship as we build a marriage that is both fun and deeply fulfilling—and you can do the same! Go back to where it all began, invest in the friendship, and rekindle that spark today.

Dear Supermum! Today’s story is about the journey of discovery, acceptance, and trusting God for our child's growth and development! 💖 The Story: During the evening service of songs in honoir of my mother’s passing in 2017, K was 3 years and 7 months old. She wasn't speaking yet and engaged in repetitive behaviours that I didn't think much of at the time. While other children cried for attention or food, K spent hours in my late mum's room quietly shredding toilet paper—simply peaceful and content playing by herself. Some people thought it was wonderful how "self-regulated" she was! I was just grateful I didn't have to divide my attention while grieving my mum and carrying a 3-month pregnancy with V. Fast forward almost a year later—K was now 4, and I was getting increasingly worried. School reports were far from encouraging: frequent "pee-pee" accidents, no interest in academics, writing, or preschool activities. Visits to the pediatrician confirmed her tongue wasn't tied, and referrals for auditory exams, EEG brain scans, and CT scans all came back perfect. There was no physical brain damage, so we assumed it was just a speech delay and started speech therapy. But it was frustrating and concerning, to say the least. As I kept searching for ways to support her, I discovered the signs of autism. I cried my eyes out and prayed. We immediately brought in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) expert to begin early intervention when she was 5, and she was officially diagnosed with autism in 2022 at age 7. That acceptance, along with specialised support, marked the beginning of true progress for us! 💡 A Word of Help: Physical growth may happen naturally, but developmental, mental, and behavioral growth for an autistic child requires intentionality, special skills, and early intervention. Don't hide from answers or delay getting expert support. Early intervention, paired with complete trust in the supernatural power of God, could be the surest foundation for your child's development. ⚓ A Dose of Hope: I can tell you from both study and lived experience: it gets better! You will see your child grow, and you will learn better, more effective ways to support their unique journey. Growth and development may not follow the typical timeline, but with the right support and God's grace at work, progress is inevitable! 😂 A Touch of Humor: As a toddler, K struggled a lot with eating, chewing, and swallowing. Fast forward to today as a preteen? Do not play with her meals! 🙈 She eats like a hungry soldier, and food is never wasted in her presence! That area of her development didn't just improve—it went to a fantastic extreme!😅 🙏 Today's Prayer: A Prayer for Growth & Development Dear Lord, we acknowledge that growth is not by human might nor by power, but by Your Holy Spirit. I pray today for supernatural growth and accelerated development in every area where your special child experiences delay—cognitively, speech-wise, behaviorally, and physically. I declare that your child grows like Jesus. In wisdom, in stature and in favour with God and men. Dear supermum, receive the wisdom, patience, and resources to support them every step of the way. In Jesus' name, Amen! #ApostleOfLove#MumDiaries#IntentionalParenting#SpecialNeedsParenting#AutismAwareness
No longer I who live but Christ in me He is the hope of glory Oh what a privilege to worship Him To be for Jesus only
Whether I live, whether I die I'll let it be for Christ Whether I live, whether I die Your name be glorified Jesus I give all of my life I’ll live in sacrifice I say yes again I say yes again
Oh Father, not my will, but yours be done This is my fresh surrender Whether in joy or pain or suffering Oh Lord, you are my treasure
I remember a song I overheard my high school classmates playing years ago, and one line in the song said, "the more money we come across, the more problems we see."
Some people believe that this thought is a myth among the "masses." They argue that millionaires are often workaholics overloaded with so many problems that they don't have time to enjoy life. However, I think this is nothing more than an excuse that a lot of people use for being broke. It's as if they're looking for a reason to avoid success by making it seem unattractive.
In my opinion, the problem is not money itself, but rather our mindsets towards it. Money has no inherent significance other than what an individual gives it. It is our relationship with money that truly matters.
So, what's your relationship with money? How do you perceive it? We all have different money mindsets, and understanding this relationship can help us make better choices and improve how we handle money matters in our relationships.

If you're too proud to learn, adapt, and grow, you will be miserable in marriage. #Apostleoflove #marriagelessons
