Motivation and Inspiration for Single Parents.
“Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.” – Colossians 4:5
View every interaction as an opportunity. An opportunity for God to work through another human being to help you reach your full potential.
Act now and determine how that resource will bring you closer to your purpose.

Eleanor Roosevelt said it best. “Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
With all the turmoil and uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, it is easy to fall into an inferior mindset. Specifically, single parents carry most of the weight by balancing their roles of serving as a mother and a father.
Single parents, it is important to stay encouraged and pay close attention to the signs of feeling inadequate:
When one has feelings of inadequateness then try one or all of the following:
Children are observant and are like sponges. They soak up the values we display and the response to change. No matter how big or small the situation, a child observes how a parent responds. Let them see how to overcome a crisis by empowering and surpassing levels of inferiority.
Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9
To all my single parents who have had that overwhelming feeling of helplessness, unworthiness, or inadequacy, take a moment to brighten someones day. Buy a cup coffee for a friend, make a dessert for a family member, or treat a co-worker to lunch.
Don’t tell a soul what you’ve done and watch the blessings flow. Eventually, those negative feelings will be a thing of the past.
Hang in there and soon you’ll be living in the overflow.
