YOUR STRENGTH IS SO MUCH TO BE ADMIRED

You think you have it tough, but moms that have children with disabilities are challenged as a mother more; especially as a single mother.  Although this child wasn't created alone it seems when the long nights never seem to end, many father abandon these women only because they cannot handle the pressure.

A child with special needs really takes a special person to take on this responsibility.  Many women give up on their children because the journey they have to go on is not what they planned on.

I was in the emergency room, and I just had to give God thanks and also ask forgiveness because the stuff that makes me argue with my healthy child, some mothers will never experience it with that particular child. Image see a mother with a child that is sick not just from a flu, but from some sort of disability.  This isn't a 24 hour episode, but a 365 day that never seems to end.

Seeing this woman comfort her child, letter her child know that she was there, and being so overly protective show that you can experience your child's love regardless of what limitations they may have.  This something that made me want to praise these mothers with special needs children is that in spite of, their love far surpasses what I could ever imagine.

The long sleepless nights, doctors appointments, unconditional love because they are your own.  Never giving up on them the sacrifice that is made 365 days of the year.  No one can really understand it unless your going through it.  I thank God for your strength, your unconditional love and especially for that gift that you have to love in spite of. That shows me your love runs so deep it can never be measured.                                                                             

 If your going through this, please stay encouraged, your strength and your faith has already gotten you this far.

Just a little fact...

I was reading a beautiful article and I wanted to share.

http://typeaparent.com/single-mom-statistics.html

Moms your the back bone of your family, and the time you put in with your children makes a tremendous difference in how they turn out.  Don't let the hurt of the past, whether it is the babies father, past abuse situations, or the fact that you came from a back ground where your father wasn't there.  You be the change you want to see in your life, as well as your children's life. Break that cycle everything starts with YOU!

When I Start to Loose Focus

There are times that I find myself numb to what life is throwing at me.  I almost turn into a caterpillar and hide in my cocoon, hoping to find rest.  We focus so much on the problems and never stop to realize that this is just a pit stop to our next level of greatness.  Keep the faith moms, remember this too shall pass.

Time to let go....

Hello beautiful mothers, I was watching Madea today and something got in my spirit and I had to share. I often wondered why I was always spending time alone and didn't have the desire to go anywhere or do anything. God didn't create us to be alone and he desires the best for us. He told me to quit hiding from your past hurts and pain. Those hurts help me become the person I am today; you cannot love without feeling some kind of pain. Some at sometime is going to hurt you and disappoint you, and whatever didn’t kill you made you stronger, I am encouraging you mothers to get out and enjoy everyone and everything around you.  Go for a walk in the mall, or the park. Go to the movies by yourself. I know with the gas prices and the money situation it just seem possible. If we take a little bit of time for ourselves we won’t focus so much on our past hurts, but new possibilities.

God's Plan for mothers...

As the morning begins it so hard for us to realize what we were put on this earth for. We get so caught up in the every drama that we forget who our creator is. We were created for worship, obedience, prayer and to listen to the Holy Spirit as it guides us.


We have to take this time out as single parents to give God what is supposed to be his. He loves us so much that he gave the most precious gift to us, his son Jesus Christ. If he thought so much of us to give us something so valuable, why can't we give just a small amount of time to him? He doesn't ask for much; but the reward is far greater than the sacrifice.

Be Blessed and continue to look for EMPOWERMENT.

We have to learn to listen

Communication is one of the hardest areas that a parent can encounter when dealing with their children. Children first learn how to communicate not with their words but with their actions. When they are first born it’s with their crying as they get older it’s with their actions, then eventually with their mouths and soon their lack of words. The reason I bring this up is that I got a scripture Proverbs 22.6, says START a child in the way they should go and even when they are old they will not turn from it.


I hear parents speak about how they cannot communicate with their children; the fact is most parents don’t start communicating with their children until they start getting into trouble, and a parent form of communication is yelling. The last time I checked communicating take one to listen and one to speak and vice versa. I hear so many parents talking to their children but many don’t take the time to listen.

If you ever pay attention to mothers and their children you always see a mother talking to their children, but don’t realize they are brushing them off at the same time. Then the wonder as they get older why their children brush them off.

Stay Empowered Moms

We cannot let our emotions control what we want for our children.

Hello beautiful mothers, for years I was hurt because I was unable to keep my family together. Not only was I upset with myself but then I started to over compensate with my child. I almost felt like I was the one to blame so I gave everything to him to make up for that hurt that I was feeling. Children need structure and discipline; don’t let emotions make you feel guilty for the decision you had to make.  Walking away sometimes is the best thing not only for you but also for your children.  A negative environment is not only unhealthy for your children, but also for yourself.  A stressful relationship can not only hurt our children in the long run, but could have them emotionally scared in the future. My motto has always been what ever is in the best interest of the children. Staying in an abusive relationship is far worse than leaving. Sometimes we have to cut our losses in order for us to gain our future.~ You are empowered!

Taking Care Of Our Most Sacred Temples

Hello Beautiful Mothers, this month I want to focus on the body and what we need to do in order to take care of it. While being single we are the head of our household while God is over us. If we cut off the head, then how does the body function. Not having God in our lives, who in an essence, the father,  in our home and not taking care of bodies, which belongs to God is nothing more than disobedience and a sin. We have to make a full conscious decision to take care of ourselves or else we are just like Solomon says we are just a wind, here one minute and then gone. We were created with just one breath, it only takes loosing our breath to no longer exist.  We were put on this earth to be good stewards over little, and if we cannot take care of the little how can he trust us with much. I challenge each mom to start focusing on taking care of ourselves s over little, and if we cannot take care of the little how can he trust us with much. Stay empowered single mom and lets start taking care of our selves.  

Why Should Single Mom's Reach for Empowerment?

Women in general carry the center of the universe; those that understand this know that the power of a woman lies at her center.  A woman gives life, something that no man can ever do; but something that scientist works on creating on an everyday basis. Women are host to producing life and when women understand the real power they posses they will never think less of themselves and the value they are worth.  Many women have gone through rough situation in their lives that they let the past determine their true value.  Women are worth so much more and when as individual they realize that not only will true value flow from us, but it will trickle down to our children.  Children need to be raised in an environment that is stable, and confidence is everywhere.  Toxic relationships, behavior and thoughts, along with words, only create a toxic environment for our children.  So why should single women reach for empowerment? If mothers don't take control of their lives, then their lives will take control of them.  Each individual needs to be in control of their lives and understanding  ways to do this WILL take you to that next level, and empowerment will be within reach.

Welcome It's Time For A Change

There comes a point in your life that you have to stop and realize that it is time for a change.  You look back at yourself and realize this is not what you planned for your life.  Any time you want a change in your life, you have to first acknowledge that you are ready.  Being EMPOWERED, means making a conscious decision that you don't want to be where you are.  It's realizing that if you don't make a conscious decision, not only for your but also for your children. So where do I start and how do I move up?  Let's take the first step together, which is first making a conscious decision that you are ready for that change.  If your not willing to move out of your comfort zone and and be willing to take on some growing pains, then this is not for you.  If your ready for this empowerment then get ready to get on board to move into enlightenment and letting go of your old way of thinking and creating a new generation of children who ready to look at the world in a new light.  Walking around in the darkness only keeps you blind, if your ready to then come on let's take this journey together.

The Fear...

 Fear is something that hinders a lot of our plans, and when we allow our fears to keep us from our goal,s not only is that sending mixed signals for our faith and trust in God, but it tell our children that when your afraid to take a chance it shows that we are limited. Moms show your children that it's ok to take chances, it just might be in your favor. You are Empowered!

Thinking about someone other than me

 I often wondered when my relationship was over if I was forever going to be by myself; with the exception of my child. I was so caught up with me and my problems that I forgot that I could be in worse. Taking the time to give back let's you realize that you could be in a far worse situation.

Encouragement goes a long way

Hello BEAUTIFUL mothers, isn't funny how we can encourge others or tell some else that we love about them but we can never do that for ourselves. I have a challenge for you, find something about YOU that you love about being a mother pr even about you, I would love to hear about it...hmmm, let me start...

I am just in between my dreams

Where are my strong beautiful Empowered Single Mom's? No one knows the power that you all have. Don't ever let any one tell you that you can never fulfill your dreams, tell them your presently in between dreams...just waiting for the right time to get back on track. So watch as I go get what belongs to me!

What's behind your name?

A name has so much to it, when we think of Jesus we know his name has power, but what value do you put behind YOUR own name? Your name should have something that says something POSITVE about you as well as something that your are DOING for OTHERS. Sit down one day and put something behind your name.Then your on your ne...xt level of empowerment. Continue to look for empowerment.

Leave it all behind

Hello beautiful mothers, it's a New Year and there are some anchors that you are holding on to, there are some things that you have to let go of in order to move to the next level in your life. What are you holding on to that you can't let go of? Hurt, disappointment, etc. Don’t let small things keep you from your future ~stay empowered!

Some who inspires me

Hello Beautiful Women, how has your week been? Wanted to put this thought out there...Who is your mentor, who inspires you? Who helps you when it seems like there is no way out; mentally. Honor these women, without them we would be a bunch of mess...lol, I know I would be. These women are angels never take them for granted. ~Stay empowered.

Time is too important..

Hello Beautiful Mothers, time is precious, and so are our children...they grow up so fast and before you know it they are starting their lives. Don't forget to spend time with them we only get once chance to spend with them when they are 2, 3, 15, 17...make each day count ~ Stay empowered ladies make your time count.

It's all in the way you plan

Hello beautiful mothers you are the ones to create your own destiny in life, no one can make things happen unless you take the first step. Don't let what you did last year be the same thing you are doing this year, make a list this year of what you did last year. Put that list on your fridge or mirror as a reminder of things you plan to improve.~Stay Empowered.

It's never too late....

Hello beautiful moms, a mother I spoke to told me when she had her first child while she so young, she barely had a high school education. She now feels so intimated by her children now because they know she is less education than her. Empowerment is first admitting you have a weakness; the next is doing something about it. ~You are empowered

Hello beautiful mothers who are worth far more than what people see them as. I wanted to share something with you that was shared in church, “death and life lays in the power of your tongue”. So if you are in a dry place in your life, or you’re trying to get the next level, write it down, make it plain and then speak it into existence; you are empowered!

It only take one step

Hello Divas, who just happen to be mothers, God has put this on my hear and I wanted to share this with you.  We all know what we want out of life, well atleast an idea, but none of us are really planning or making strides to get there.  What are you doing to reach your goals? What steps have you already put into place to reach it? All it takes is one step, God is already 2 steps ahead. ~ Remember YOU ARE EMPOWERED!
