Dear Beloved Mother!
Welcome to TEAS BLOG!
Welcome to this sacred space — a gathering birthed in deep travail, refined in the fire of affliction, and established by divine command.
In 2013, my world shifted when my son, barely 15 years old, fell under the weight of rebellion. I watched, heartbroken, as the child I raised with love and faith began to speak, walk, and act like those I knew were leading him astray. His athletic dreams vanished. His choices darkened. And my heart grew bitter (not just at him) but at the friends I believed had influenced him and stolen his light.
The more I tried to win him over, the more things got worse. I was confused and the negative role model present in today’s society made matters worse.
In 2014, matters came to mind when an argument broke out, and my 16-year-old son walked out of our home and out of my life for three years.
I was broken. Devastated. It felt like my soul had shattered.
Then, the Lord whispered, “Pray for them.” I didn’t understand the command.
I heard it again ” Pray for his friends” I couldn’t. I was angry. Too angry. But the instruction would not go away.
How do I pray for friends who I believed were not helping matters? How could I pray for friends who I believed were responsible for the mess I was experiencing (I must confess, I was ignorant at the time).
I began chasing God with all I had, attending prayer meetings, vigils, conferences and searching for help, for change, for healing. But the more I prayed, the worse things became.
This pain became my altar. And through the years (over seven long years ) God took me on a journey of intercession, of fasting, of spiritual warfare. He began to reveal visions of battles in the spirit. I stood my ground, declaring to the enemy;
“You will not have my son!”
I reminded God of the covenant I made when I carried him in my womb. Even though I didn’t wait to have him, like Hannah, I dedicated this child to God before he was even born. I reminded God of this covenant each day. And in time, God answered.
Today, my son is fully restored (a graduate, an entrepreneur, and a living testimony of God’s power.
It was during this season of pain that the Lord commissioned me to raise this prayer altar for mothers like me, women raising kingdom children, and for those fighting unseen battles in their homes. This group is not just a fellowship but a watchtower. A place where we war together, cry together, and rise in faith together.
You are not alone. You are part of a family of warriors who believe in the power of prayer, covenant, and divine restoration.
As we stand in the gap for our children, homes, and destinies, may the Lord continue to guide, defend, and strengthen you.
Welcome to the family.
Welcome to the fight.
Welcome to the victory.
With love and grace,
