Dear single mama,
I know everything in you feels like you can’t anymore. You’re pulled in 100 different directions a day. You feel alone. You feel and see the lack of so many things. Dying to be restored and refreshed. The more you try, the more things fall apart. You do everything by yourself. Everything is on your shoulders. With no sympathy from family. No encouragement, but instead being belittled. Like you’re supposed to do it all and be okay. It feels like you don’t have anyone in your corner. You do everything by yourself anyway, what’s the point. All you have is me. All you need is me. I’m why you’ve got this far. I’m the only good in the whole world. Everything else is imperfect and will hurt you. The sooner you realize that, the better. I’m the one who took you out of the black hole. I’m the one who put you on your feet. I’m the one who saved you. Im the one who created you. Why go to anyone else or handle it yourself when it ends in unmet expectations. Take comfort in, this is not your home. Your forever place. There’s hurt and evil and wrong and it will be like that until I take you home. Rest is all you can do. Deep breaths and try to take it a day at a time.
If you made it this far, I got the okay to publish my devotional “Dear Single Mama.”
The Lord has been good, but that doesn’t mean depression doesn’t last. I’m not on here to fake it till I make it. Christians go through hell. Even more hell than nonbelievers. But they are the ones who also get to stand on the highest mountain tops. I believe there are seasons of dark deep valleys, that’s life. And I will stand with you in them. Especially with my single moms. I wish the world knew. I’m rooting for us always.
Talk soon
xx
