I think I love having a blog. I can be faceless and tell all my secrets. I can share all the embarrassing moments. I can relive the fun,humorous, stressful and sometimes lonely moments of a single parent. But the thing I love the most is that maybe I can free up some room in the brain and then be able to remember some of the simple daily things that I keep forgetting!
I am a single mom. I just got divorced this past month. I have 2 teens.One girl and one boy. At times I wish I had more and at other times I am glad I am 'blessed' with only 2.
As a single mom I think I struggle the most with guilt. I am always feeling like I let my kids down. Although the divorce was not my choice I know I was also at fault. My ex (wow that is weird) did a lot wrong. Most of them were major no nos but I know that I was not the Godly wife I should have been.
I grew up in a family of women. My mom got divoreced when we were young and my father soon died (no connection). My grandmother lived with us most of our lives. I have one sister. My mom comes from a family fof 5 kids. Only one was a boy. All the ladies outlived there husbands.
Now you may see that I had no role models except for strong women (all with kids) in a world that had just started to stress 'women's rights'. In other words I grew up stubborn and set in my ways!
I find it hard to ask for help even from God. God is teaching me so much about myself. The problem is getting my heart and mind in sync with each other.

I have come across many women who have had similar upbringings and I have seen the Lord pour such grace into their willing hearts. He can do that for you too. Be still and listen......
