These past three years that I have walked through the fires of single parenthood I have truly learned the meaning of these verses. Through all of the hurt, confusion and hardship the Lord has been my ever-present help. I've lived week to week not knowing if next week will be a week that I don't get paid enough to meet the bills. When I first started this walk I was anxious all of the time. I drove everyone around me crazy. Over the years I have mellowed and have started to learn to just rest in my faith that the Lord will indeed provide for my needs. He truly has NEVER failed me.
He wraps me in His love and let's me see myself through His eyes. I have never known such wide sweeping judgmentalism as I have known since becoming a single parent. I have had to rest in the Lord and know that I have value to Him and that my value is NOT determined by other's opinions.
This has been a hard walk but one well worth the taking. All of these hardships have driven me closer to my savior and deeper into the knowledge of Him. What the devil has meant to break me the Lord has used to make me stronger.
Remember, as you are walking through your own fires, that God loves you and is watching out for you. Sometimes God will calm the storm and other times He will calm His child while the storm rages. Either way you are His and He has you in the palm of His hand.
God bless
