The reasons I chose the name Single Mama for Jesus for this blog were various. 1~ Single I'm currently going through a divorce. Very sad when a family crumbles, however how freeing spiritually it is to be placed in a position to grow in Jesus alone and as a single individual depending solely on Him! 2~ Mama I'm Mama to my sweet kidos. As is my own mother my Mama. My whole life there has been something so soothing and comforting in that name. Occasionally I'll get a Mom, Mommy, or in a moment of their pure irritation a MOTHER! But for the most part I'm Mama and always have been. It is a joy to hear my children call me Mama and I can think of no other name Id ever love better! 3~ For Jesus Jesus GAVE me these to precious gifts. They are under my care for a little while but they are His children! He loves them way more then I could ever even imagine ( just as He does all His children). He's entrusted them to me to teach and train them so that they will grow in Him and share Jesus with others. But most important Hes called me as their Mama to lead by example. So its up to me to learn, lead, an practice what I want them to know. I want them to know that without Jesus we can do nothing. I want them to share that with Jesus all things are possible. I want them to remember that we are never alone He is always with us . I want them to believe in Jesus and know that all salvation rests in Him. I want them to know, share, remember, & believe that the greatest thing in life is to love God, love others and let that be what changes the world. So what do I need to do as a Single Mama? I need to know that I cant do anything without Jesus! I need to share with others how all things are possible when you have Jesus in your heart! I need to remember that no matter what I'm walking through I'm not walking alone, my Jesus is right here with me! I need to love God with all my heart! I need to show love to those who ,lets face it, are not so lovable at times.....even when in the checkout line at Walmart! Can I do any of this on my own power? No. And that's ok. In fact that's better then OK! Cause my Jesus can do anything! Even use a simple single Mama like me. Scriptures for today~ John 15:5 Philippians 4:13 Isaiah 41:10 Acts 16:31

Christy, FANTASTIC .... that you are willing to share in your journey with others along the way. I can see that being not only a blessing to others reading it, and possibly going through some of the same feelings; but also as an encouragement and ministry for you. I too went through some of the same things so I have an idea where you're coming from. Stay strong and turn it all over to GOD. For HE has a plan that is much better than anything we can do alone.
