TO SINGLE MOTHERS

As important as marriage is, I don't believe it's one of the things that qualifies one to "make heaven" or not. I don't see any sense in staying married at all costs. If you're married to an abuser or an UNREPENTANT philanderer, I RECOMMEND that you walk away. If you choose to stay, NEVER compromise your well-being just to "keep your marriage". Forget that thing about doing it for the children... Children that grow up in abusive two-parent homes are usually worse off than children raised by RESPONSIBLE single parents. The key issue for kids is STABILITY. They also learn from the adults around them. Believe me, they need RESPONSIBLE fathers and mothers...Responsible is the key word...

Are single fathers better than single mothers? Are single mothers whose kids don't stay with them better than single mothers whose kids stay with them or vice versa? Why all these attacks on SINGLE MOTHERS? Are widows with kids also part of the "causes of all the nation's ills"? (They are single mothers too, you know). What of those that were raped and chose to keep the child?
Do you know that after Hagar was sent away by Abraham and Sarah, she became a single mother YET God was with her child? God still loved Ishmael...

To every single mother reading this, you have my respect. If you choose to get married, make sure it's not because you want to "roll away the reproach of singleness". You are a queen; you're not "damaged goods". If you choose to stay single, you are still a queen.

Whether married or single, please stay godly. And if you've lost your way, there is a Father who keeps looking out of the window, waiting for you to come home. Why not reach out to Him? Please send me a message so we can take the journey together. My email address is womentellingafricanstories@gmail.com.

Enjoy your day.
