Philippians 2: 13-14 reminds us to "do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. I know, Single Parent, you're thinking - they're going to criticize me either way right? You know throughout my single parenting journey, I've learned some incredibly valuable nuggets, one of which is "know your audience". In knowing myself, I know you and knowing us means that I can assuredly say, we're not looking for fan fair, criticism or much else really, we just want support! Am I right?... I cried as I recorded this and so many episodes, but today's cry was different. This cry was a sigh of relief in that I made to the the other side of what I then believed were insurmountable feats. It was a cry of RELEASE and CELEBRATION all at once; like, being at the highest mountain top, but due to depletion the lowest valley- simultaneously. Have you ever felt that way Single Parent? More importantly, what do you do when you find yourself in this or a similar situation? In this episode, we dive right into it and I discuss my example of being beyond depleted, as so many of us are, while outlining the highlights and strategies I used to get me through.

Renewed Strength

Isaiah 40:31 " But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not be faint."

HOW incredibly Powerful is that scripture Single Parents?! I mean my spirit was lifted, just typing the message out. I felt renewed, hopeful even, which is a great Segway for this episode..

Those that wait.. whether you are a new to single parenting or not, strength feels like a lightyear away. There's never enough of it and it almost never feels like it's our turn to receive. Or is it?

Today, I want to know where your strength comes from. How do you get your adrenaline to push forward. What's the driver or force behind it? More importantly, how do you sustain it? In this episode, we dive right into it and I discuss my example of being depleted, but somehow getting renewed strength just when I am on the verge of giving up - trusting the ultimate SOURCE to see me through! I further pass along a few tips that will help you gain this same renewal, manage your tasks and calm your mind. We talk about getting those insurmountable tasks out of your head and into quick action.

Hard Pressed..

2 Corinthians 4:8 says “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.”

This scripture surely was written for Single Parents- right?! It summarizes our distinct journey, yet gives us hope for what's on the horizon.

To the point of this episode.. Single parenting is BEYOND crushing no matter the stage in which you're end. There are always questions about doing enough or needing to do more. Satisfying / being satisfied.. trail and Triumph! But that's that good part...when you can look back and see how far you've come even when you're still going through.

In this episode, we dive right into it and I discuss my examples of being perplexed, crushed, and even what I thought was despair. Yet, through my journey there was a fight within that gave me reason, strength, comfort in not leaning on my understanding, but trusting the ultimate SOURCE! The question is, where is your battle today and how do you know you're not in despair.

Where Your Treasure Is..

Matthew 6:21 says “For where your treasure is, here your heart will be also.”

Without a doubt, my children are the sparkle of my eye. They are my treasure and where my heart resides. Seems I waited all of my life to say / have that feeling and now that it’s here, the experience is so very different than I imagine. In part, my treasure is split, hurting and confused over circumstances, honestly, I put them in. Which then begs the question, am I truly valuing my treasure? Without hesitation, that answer is a resounding yes, Yes & YES! To the point of this episode..

Single parenting is incredibly overwhelming for us adults to process and work through. How then, do we expect out little ones to deal with the same, specially when, they are not even equipped with the necessary tools to lesson the impact.

In this episode, we dive right into it and I discuss one manner we are utilizing to cope with our transition, confront our stressors and (slowly but surely) move to the other side of this. The question is, what is your treasure and what will you do to ensure it’s protected and cherished?

Wisdom vs. Understanding

How does this title feel reading as a Single Parent ? Do you feel you've achieved one or the other, possibly both? Or do you feel lost, beat down from exhaustion or still not understand why you are even in this season of your life? I wonder how many of you actually feel relatable to this title, worthy of claiming wisdom, understanding your "why" and propelling forward based on these revelations. There's a lot of truth and validity on both sides. So let's talk about, which side you're currently on and the side you'd like to move towards.
