If you’re reading this, then you know or have faced the challenges and sometimes lonely moments of being a single parent. Weather it’s when you’re out with the kids and you see a couple or on a certain holiday those times can be difficult. I have definitely experienced these challenges myself being a single mom of two.
Two incidents in particular that I remember happened fairly recently. One was with a manager that was telling me about her husband and family. As I was looking at pictures of her family in her office I was thinking “Gosh they look so happy” and wishing I was at that stage in life. The other was with a friend I ran into at Mcdonalds who was with her boyfriend and daughter. Again I started thinking about my own stage in life.
Of course I was happy for them. But as a single mom sometimes you find yourself thinking about the moment in which God will place that right man in your life. Am I right? But ladies let me tell you how amazing God is and how well he knows exactly what we are thinking. Not even 5 minutes later in both incidents with these 2 ladies God revealed to me the issues and chaos they were dealing with.
My lesson and advice to you: Don’t compare your season to someone else’s outside. Meaning the season that you’re in right now is where God needs you to be. The place that you see someone else in from the outside may not be all unicorns and rainbows or they may have already gone through that waiting season to get to where they are. So ladies no matter what it is that you are wanting and believing God for, trust his plans for you. While in the process; trust, listen, and obey. God will reward you with what was meant for you not for someone else.
He is forever faithful mamas.God also needs to prepare you for what he has for you. Allow yourself to be worked on and taught. I encourage you during this time to learn the voice and works of God. He does not operate in chaos, strife, or confusion and you should not want that either, especially in a relationship. You don’t want to jump into anything and end up being stressed, confused, or things going downhill because you didn’t wait on God. Everything you need and want is in him.
God also does not move on emotions. I know some days may be longer than others but always remember God is our refuge. Don’t move too fast. Believe and trust God for what you want. Stay focused. Stay encouraged. And most importantly, don’t compare, just obey and praise.
Prayer🙏🏾, Faith, Confidence💪🏾, and Coffee☕️
