Motherly Reflection

REMEMBERING THE PAST

It is two days before Mother’s Day and here I am reflecting on my life and how the Lord has brought me through it all. Two years ago, I was a hopeless case,wondering if I will ever make it as a single mother. I was beating myself up about the decision I made. I wasn’t really ready mentally for this new stage of my life. However, I am living one day at a time. Everything is now falling into place. I am living and fulfilling my purpose that God has for me. My daughter will be two next month and it has shown me that time waits for no man. I can’t believe my little baby is now a toddler!

GROWTH

During these past two years, I have grown stronger- mentally, emotionally and spiritually and most of all, I have learnt to forgive. I have forgiven all those who have hurt me. As the Bible says in Matthew 6: 14-15:  “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” In my earlier post, I told you that I took the leap of faith and moved to the big city.I am still here learning and improving as a single mother. I am trying to be the best person I can be for my daughter. I had a lot of naysayers who told me that I wouldn’t make it on my own.  However, by Faith, I will get through. God has been my source of comfort, my provider and King. I stand by the word and I read it daily as encouragement.

NEVER GIVE UP

Just remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.  As the Bible says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us,who can be against us?” Through the midst of the storm, there will be a calm. God will never leave you or forsake you.When you are ready to throw in the towel, just hold on to His word.

Happy Mother’s Day to you! You are a great mother. Continue to be the strong, super woman that you are!
