I originally started this blog in 2010 during the start of a rough patch in my life. I could feel myself separating from God and I was desperately trying to steer myself back in the right direction but I had doubts or questions about mere Christianity that filled my head and had to be let out. During this time of questioning and separation from the God that I known most of my life I started to watch my life crumble because of my bad decisions.
I separated from my husband.
I became pregnant.
I divorced my husband.
And I am now a single mother.
So I am going to try and figure it out- my life, I mean. Can I survive my sins? Do I have the strength to be a good mother? Can I manage financially? Will my relationship survive? Am I worthy of love? Will my sins always follow me?
Can I raise a beautiful, God-fearing, responsible, loving son all by myself?
I can. But I have a feeling the road will not always be easy.

You have a beautiful son and that will be your strength. Every time I was tempted to stray from my path, my son, daughter and wife were my anchors and I tried hard to not let them carry the burden and stray too often. As you recognize from my blog, not everyday is perfect, but the lifetime trend has been a fairly decent stroll in the park with lots of fond memories.

of course you can. I do not actively practice any religion but I to practice myself. Life is not easy always, but I do what I can to strive on my path to happiness.

Keep the faith, keep smiling. Your son is the reason that you can do it! He’s adorable!

your raw honesty is inspiring.

We have a similar story, in some respects. What are the sins you are hoping to survive? I guess I don’t think of ‘sin’ as the bad/hurtful choices we all might make at times, but as being out of alignemnt: with my purpose, with God’s purpose, with life.

PS I loved the pics from the drive-in. Kid Newton once loved the drive-in, but now it just keeps him awake. I sure do miss it though.

Thank you for sharing your heart so openly. Reading a spiritually based book, The 12 Steps of Forgiveness (a practical manual for moving from fear to love) by Paul Ferrini was a great help to me. Blessings on your journey, *you can do it*!

God forgives everyone. I have had to learn that, after conceiving my son out of wedlock, it has been hard for me to forgive myself for my sins, but I can calm myself down knowing that God has already forgiven me.

I am sooo glad you found me!! And we mothers, single or married MUST connect and stick together, bc we have so much to share about our lives. To advocate, commiserate, and validate bc no matter which way we go, parenting is tough business. Yet wonderful! I like your about. Your work is honest, and I do believe God sees that. If He is your center, then you always have a light in the dark. Thank you for your work.
