Single Parenting

This single parenting thing is hard.  It's no joke.  To make every decision, settle every fight, have the listening ears for all complaints, stories, problems, to be in charge of all discipline, correcting, instructing, etc.  It's exhausting, and I feel like I'm failing at it many times.  No matter what the future holds, this is what I want to remember about this season...I couldn't have made it without Jesus.  Though this season is very hard, it's good for me to be brought to a place that I must rely completely on my God.  It's humbling, and we all could use a little humility in our lives.  I know I could.  Some days I sing..."I need Thee, oh I need thee...EVERY HOUR I need Thee."  Some days I tell the Lord, I don't just need You today, I'm utterly relying on You every hour.  I mess up daily, but He gives me the strength to continue on.  Praise God for His Word that says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.....For when I am weak, then I am strong."  These little people are so worth it.  They are worth every effort.  I must bring my best for them and trust the Lord with the rest.  They're in His hands anyway.  They are His children.  I just want to do my job of daily pointing them to Jesus.
