Now that I'm a single mom, I’m much more aware of how other people can offer support to those of us in this challenging role.

When you list off your failures and stay there in the defeat, nobody wins. Just keep loving God. Just keep loving your kids.

Every day, I am watching my children’s naiveté be stripped away from them, and it’s heart-breaking.

Here are some simple ideas to think about adding to your holiday season to make it more meaningful for you and for your family.

How did we get to this place? What small choices have I been making that have led us to the point where my child thinks she doesn’t have to do what I say?

While it is OK to deal with my feelings, I must remember that it is not my children’s responsibility to know my every thought and sadness.

Do you remember fifteen years ago? Where were you in life? What were you doing? Who were you with? What did you love?

Instead of considering limiting their interactions and instead of just praying that my child’s faith be untouched by this situation, I’m going to pray that my child become an influence of light on this friend.

I met a woman this weekend who was married for over twenty-five years, whose divorce was finalized a year ago. She had many questions for me on getting through her divorce but the one that stood out the most to me was this: Why did God let me stay...

I have this epic fear when it comes to my children and it’s bigger than any of my other fears combined: history repeating itself.

Cloth vs. disposable. Pacifier vs. thumb. Bottle vs. breast. And that’s just the first few years! Mothering decisions are overwhelming.

I am very aware that my kids will not be with me much longer. So, I am taking mental pictures all the time.

First, to paraphrase Beth Moore, “The moment you got married, your husband became God’s will for you.”

Here is wisdom I want to give my daughter: treasure your friends, don't rush to find a husband, and Jesus will never leave you.
