“Many daughters have done virtuously, nobley, excellently, worthily but you excel them all…a woman who fears the Lord she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:29-30).
Yvonne: My daughter is the second child my dear Beloved blessed me with, even though I did not know Him back then, He certainly knew me! I remember when I thought about my "white-picket fence life," I always imagined I would have two sons. When the doctor told me, she was not absolutely sure, but this one looked like a girl, I refused to believe it. I had no idea how to raise a little girl and turn her into a young woman. I was terrified.
Everyone bought me pink clothes, and all the gifts were pink. My family was very excited for this little girl to come because from all my siblings (we are 5), only my one sister has 3 daughters, the rest all have boys! I kept telling them, the doctor was not sure, and that it may still be a little boy. The first thing I asked when she was born was: "Is she really a little girl?"
Then our eyes met and I was in love with my little girl. I still did not know how to raise a little girl, and then I found the Lord as my Saviour, my Friend, and my Husband, and He has been teaching me through RMI, and she is now an amazing teenage girl. Here are some of the praises I wrote about her so you could get to know her.
My Daughter Chose to ask Him, her Father
My Heart and Soul Explode with Joy!
Feeling So Helpless When It Comes to My Children
She Called Him “Daddy” Instead of “Father”
Adina in South Africa: My daughter Elaine is my firstborn. I got married at 35 and was initially afraid of having children. But when I found out I was pregnant, something changed in me. The first time I felt her move, like a little butterfly, I just knew I would never be the same again. I also knew that having a daughter comes with a lot of responsibility, especially in today’s world with the influence of social media and feminism. I am so grateful that my Beloved Lord took me on this journey with Him and changed me so much because I was a feminist and if it weren’t for Him, I would have taught Elaine everything I used to believe about being a woman.
As I have the privilege of homeschooling my daughter, I can see how different she is from her peers because homeschooling allows me to teach her what a godly woman and wife should be, and that her Heavenly Father should be her first love.
Elaine loves to draw, and her Heavenly Father has truly blessed her with such talent. I am blessed and privileged to watch her grow and grow in her relationship with her Heavenly Father.
Marta in Brazil: I praise my Beloved Heavenly Husband for giving me a daughter who is a special gift from Him to me...
Brincy is the fulfillment of a dream of being a mother. Since I was young, I dreamed of having a girl, and even though I wasn't intimate with my Husband at the time, I asked Him that I wanted to be the mother of a girl, and when I was almost old enough, Brincy came and completely changed my life.
Being Brincy's mother is a blessing. She is my best friend forever. In every gesture, in every word or reaction of hers, I know that there is a reflection of what she has experienced with me, of the moments we have spent together, and most importantly, by His side.
I thank Him for being here, for being transformed into the Woman He wants me to be, so that I can continue with faith, knowing that Brincy's destiny is guaranteed in Him, because it is He who has taken care of and guided her on her journey as well.
Brincy loves playing volleyball and beach tennis, but what most catches my attention about her is that even though she is only 12 years old, she is very mature. She loves reading the Bible and every day I see how her intimacy with her Heavenly Father has grown and taken place in her heart.
Anastasia: When my Beloved gave me the desire to minister to young women through a dream in which He spoke to me, I was surprised, since I am not yet a mother. However, I have become a mother to many young women whom I can guide on their path to becoming wise women who will build strong homes on the rock for a future much more challenging than the times we are going through.
It is an honor for me to be part of His plan so that these beautiful young women can find their purpose and the desire of their Heavenly Father's heart for their lives.
I was not a wise young woman, however, it is my experience and what I learned from my failures that I can share with you.
Erin Thiele: Passionate about being a mother, since I was very young, I always desired to have sons —primarily because I was a tomboy and I got along better with boys and was a daddy’s girl. After three sons, as most of you know, God bless me with a daughter, and I quickly was way out of my depth. “God uses everything together for good” and “He has a plan that’s far higher than our plan” that is for sure. First, it was GOOD because it was having my daughter that gave birth to A Wise Woman.
Fast forward and not only do I have three daughters but as of 2025, I have eight “new beginnings” granddaughters! With three teenage granddaughters and three baby granddaughters, I can say I am the most blessed Mimi on the planet.
Now with a stronger and marinated passion for daughters/granddaughters, I’m excited about this new HomeGrown Branch and trust that GOD plans to use it to minister and encourage YOU and that YOU, in turn, will be an Encouraging Woman by asking God, who (what mother, granddaughter or what girl) He is calling you to minister and pass this information onto.
