My emotions are still running high —still teary-eyed 🥹 but no longer weeping 😭 after hearing the GOOD news— a mother, I am very close to had her daughter returned to her loving care, and is now living with the family!!
More than ever, I am very adamant that young children need to be with their mother, which used to be the mindset, and “it goes without, saying” where younger children were expected to live.
Sadly, this began to change the more women began to demand the same rights as men whereby the men began demanding the same rights and getting them my custody and even spousal support when they didn’t even need the money.
This is why the position of being in submission to our earthly husbands and taking all of our concerns to HEAVENLY husband Who by the way, also happens to be the Lord of host, a.k.a. The leader of the Armies in heaven. A Husband Who will battle for us and Who always WINS on behalf of his bride.
Since I’m not sure how much this precious mother has shared, I’m not at liberty to share anymore, so I’ll remain discreet and let her comment or post her own praise. Regardless, I think all of us can easily rejoice and grab our husband, which in my case meant, burying my face in his chest just to weep finally completely relax that this daughter is home with her mom.
Now, for part two. While replying in my voice note impregnated with my tears of joy with this mom, I envisioned something, and began to share it with her. Now to share it with each of you moms. Let’s agree if it is his plan that HGM will become a mother/daughter and mother/son duet who will begin running this very very, very important and special website. A platform to encourage mothers (fathers too) to homegrowing their children and instilling, planting God’s principles and promises into the lives of their children through the resources here.
My husband already led me to help move this in the right direction more than a week ago, by breaking down one of the books into small bite, size chapters. https://homegrownministries.com/hp/ww4hp/otr/ This makes it easier to post for instance, on the Encouraging Women, but also, it is much easier for our sons and daughters to voice record these very short chapters.
That’s part of what I envisioned…that Adina’s daughter and son may just be who helps record some of the chapters, or even working on the website. We all know that younger children excel in anything with computers, tablets and phones – – and even social media! So why not use this through ministering and planting that seed of using the Internet for ministry early into the most precious, soft soil?
Not just Adina, but Yvonne and her son and daughter. Kristine and her children. Paula and her son and daughter.
The truth is None of us can make this happen, but God can do the impossible, especially when we join our hearts ❤️ and agreed that nothing is impossible with God.
It is so amazing to hear that a child was returned to her mother!! And especially a daughter who needs her mother so much when she becomes a big girl and needs her mother’s guidance!
I am so very blessed that despite my current situation, my daughter still turns to me with all her questions. When she became a big girl, her Heavenly Father blessed me with the opportunity to be there for her and she still asks me questions regarding it.
My son, who is only 9, showers his mommy with so much love and said he will always look after me, I get so many hugs, kisses and cuddles from him that makes me feel so spoiled by my Husband. He is just the sweetest little boy.
And it is true, with feminism and women demanding the same rights as men, things turned around so much and now men can take children away from their mothers as they please. Feminism destroyed so many things that was good and that He created for a reason. It destroys families and in the process children.
Every time I go and visit my aunt at her nursery school, and she takes me to the baby class, my heart breaks when I see those 4, 5, 6-month-old babies being there, some of them spending 12hrs per day there because their mothers are chasing after careers. I was there too, I had to work for a long time, before I got married and had children I wanted a career, chose Electronic Engineering and worked in that field for many years, to really show that as a woman I am capable of anything. But I was never happy, and after I got married and had children my unhappiness grew, deep inside I wanted to be a housewife and a mother. I hated dropping my children of at the nursery school, my heart always broke and I knew it was not what I wanted, I wanted to be at home with my children, my family, I cried so many times and prayed to be delivered, my fh also never understood why I felt like that because he was the one that insisted that I continue to work, and in the end it contributed a lot to the destruction of my family.
Despite my current situation, I am still trusting Him to be able to home school, especially now that my daughter is a big girl, a “tween” and there are some things that worries me a lot, but it is in His hands. For now, I can only leave them in their Heavenly Father’s hands and trust that He will protect them from all the temptations and bad influences at school. Even if they are in a Christian school, I heard and seen enough to make me pray more.
Adina, I have seen your children and many of your videos – – seen firsthand the love between all of you, but also the way that they are sweet gorgeous little faces glow, and reflect the love of God.
Just the fact that homeschooling is now legal in South Africa is incredible and it’s simply you trusting and resting and the wisdom and ability of your husband to bring them home because we know nothing is impossible with him. When I used to be on the homeschooling speaker circuit in Missouri and first in Florida, there were many mothers who wanted to homeschool, but it was their husbands who are not on board. As quickly as I could I did my best to explain to trust the authority over them, and their children, plus how often God used a crisis to turn the heart of their husband to trust only their children’s mother to educate their legacy. I can’t tell you how many times mothers would run up to me, letting me know that God did the impossible with a variety of stories… Each a mini to even major crisis that God used.
Yet, even when he does not move in this direction, the time that we have with our children to arm them, with the truth, sewing it (sowing it) into their hearts but ultimately it is trusting Him. As you probably read in WW4HP I lived in I was exposed to the most morally dangerous city in the entire United States as a very, very young girl. Nevertheless, my heavenly father helped me to navigate around every danger coming through better than unscathed. I came away with an understanding because of my first hand account, without really ever having to be exposed fully keeping 90% of my innocence. All I knew is that it was not good, evil, and therefore I knew to flee.
Thank you Erin, it gave me so much hope to trust in my Husband as the authority over my fh to make this happen! And yes, it is wonderful that home schooling is now legalized in SA, although many are fighting against it, but we must keep on trusting that He will not allow their schemes to succeed and that home schooling will flourish in SA!
Wow this is so great . Praise the Lord for this restoration. When I think of the moment I realized I had lost my daughter a few years ago for a while. Every day I cried, But now recently I have her back permanently.
The promise of Psalm 127:3 I have often repeated to myself.
I totally agree with you Erin that children should stay with their mothers. Our Heavenly Man knows how important that is. For He has given us the gift of bringing up children according to His ways.
I also agree that the mindset and thoughts of many women who think they are equal to men has led the government to give men more rights to keep children away from their mothers. I am thankful to my Lord for loving me so much that He has placed in the heart of my FH the belief that children should continue to see each parent after a divorce. His love has ensured that I have never lost custody of my children.
Here in the Netherlands we do not have the opportunity to teach our children at home. Every child is required to attend school until the age of 18. It turns out that this is not good for many children. Including now my eldest son is one of them. But I choose to trust my Lord in this that He is still in control. And a mighty testimony to the glory and honor of Him will follow. He has already started the good work by my children on their own level

Kristine, thank you so much for joining this conversation and sharing your help because of your restored daughter.🥳🙌🏻 this gives hope to those who are still waiting and trusting Him.
There are many countries where homeschooling is not available, so having this representation from a mother, who is trusting her husband and her children’s Father is a vital part of our body. https://biblehub.com/romans/12-4.htm
Agree with me that we will be able to form a PG “profile grid” custody group (at present. We’re still learning this plug in yet trusting him for his perfect appointed time).
P.S.
Because I saw you needed approval for this amazing comment, I updated you are profile level to AUTHOR ✍️ Because you had your profile picture 🥳 I see now that this is the easy and light path that I trust he’ll show me how to make known on all of our websites.
thank you Erin, i agree with you that a PG “profile grid”custody group is a great thing. Because not always the children are left behind with their mothers. During the Fellowship meetings there were ladies that had their children not with them. Giving them encouragement would be good and lovely to do.
and i would like to add some more comments on the other Blogs but i can not do that. I won’t allow me to Register.

They have beautifull things to joy in the praises
If I had to guess, it’s because you’re using an already registered email in your name? You may not be the only one this is happening to, so maybe you can ask your Husband how to explain this a bit more so we can SSG for the solution—then you can post a praise.
📌 even though I still can’t wrap my head around and understand hashtags fully, my husband has led me to start adding them again in order to thread 🧵 these important discussions together.
#RCP “RESTORED CUSTODY PRAISE” is now part of this thread. https://homegrownministries.com/tag/rcp/
Now I believe that needs to be transferred to a webpage, which I don’t believe we have yet. Thankfully HLM and I will therefore wait to renew my strength. https://biblehub.com/isaiah/40-31.htm
#HSP “homeschool praise” is also a prominent and important thread. My husband had me to create, and also to firmly plant on top “why home school” page. https://homegrownministries.com/why-homeschool/
HEY, this is fantastic. When you create a #tag add the # so when you copy it, like I did the new page I’m working on https://hopeatlast.com/ev/ it’s an easier COPY Paste!!
“See, I have authorized, appointed, set you, this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up, uproot, root out; to break, tear down, to destroy, to uproot, overthrow—in order to build, rebuild, and firmly plant 🪴 in solid ground.” J110
What we are operating, breaking down, and destroying are all the lies and myths that have been excepted as true to death and detriment of our children. It’s time for wise women, and mothers to come together with a united trust and intimacy with our Husband and our children’s Heavenly Father, knowing He WILL continue the good work that came from the crisis of our lockdowns and Covid that brought our children back into the safety and nurturing of their homes by their mothers.
