We have The One

Every single parent comes  from a different circumstances. Something that doesn’t have to be brought out all the time but I guess in our culture, it does.
You will always be asked a lot of questions like – where is he now? Is he married? Was he married when you two met each other? Is he seeing your child? Is he supporting your child?

My daughter was born out of wed lock. She is now two years old. At that time when I had her I was working as a ministry staff, so I knew people would question my integrity.
Yes I made a big mistake but I had repented and I came back to Jesus. Coming back to Jesus meant giving up a relationship that isn’t in line with his will. So I chose Jesus not because I was a minister but because I wanted to choose my relationship with Jesus. That  also means becoming a single mother. Yes, some of you would question what I did but it was still the best decision I ever made.

Raising hannah being single I knew is hard. Providing her every need was also an everyday struggle. I came to admire mothers who have to raise two or more children on their own.
There’s also this wondering on how my daughter be able to cope up with all these questions thrown upon her when she’s grown up. What future lies ahead of and a lot more.

 All these being said, one thing is for sure. Choosing to trust Jesus. Choosing to believe on his promises.
Yes, we are single mothers but we are married to the One. We are married to the King. And though sometimes we feel like we are carrying the world alone, we are not, our husband, the King who created everything is beside us trying to ask us to entrust what we are carrying to His palms.

He can carry the world for us.

Psalm 48:1-7
God is our refuge and strength,
An ever – present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Thought the earth give way
And the mountains fall into
The heart of the sea
Though its waters roar and foam
And the mountains quake
With their surging
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will no fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar,
Kingdoms fall;
He lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
The God of Jacob is our fortress.
