With the birth of my children (a daughter and four sons) who are special gifts from the Lord, I had dreams of raising them with my then husband (a pastor) and as a family serving the Lord.
However, the Lord redirected my journey and I have had to adjust my aspirations. Some remain the same and some are different, as I move forward alone, but ‘godliness with contentment is great gain’ remains true from then until now.
Christian single parents are real people living in a real broken world who have to face the consequences of the brokenness, for themselves and their children. The majority are unwilling divorcees having to deal with a Christian spouse’s wrong choices and actions. Others are widowed or were unmarried. But the reality of Christian single parenting is the same for all. It is a hard task for we are not ‘Superdad’ or ‘Supermum’, but weak and frail human beings with needs and desires, like everyone else.
