I grew the most as a Christian when my children were born. I think it finally sunk in how much God loves me. I knew He did but when you look at your children and know that you know that you know how much you love them and what you would do for them it hits you that Gods love for us is so much deeper than that. WOW!
I grew, am growing the most has a single mom. A homeschooling single mom at that. 8 years of solo mom, 3 kids (18,16,12- girl, boy,girl), has transformed me drastically. Stripping my own controlling ways of -this just has to be like that- ideals, made be humble. Never homeschooling before, started 4 years ago, not coming from HS back ground, but being a pioneer in my family of origin, made me surrender. Not working the typical 9-5 work day, made me trust. Parenting through tough years of hormones made me, approach the throne bodly. Listening to heartbreaking cries at night as to- why isn’t dad here, why does god allow pain – questions, made me broken and honest. Learning to parent my young, adult teens has made me realize how weak I am and how strong HE is. This oh so hard lot in my life has brought me closer to Jesus & breathed grace through and through, unbelievable. God has proven over and over his provision in every way possible. It took me going through such a difficult and not expected way of life to completely receive his love. His grace. His strength. His faithfulness. His power. His purpose. God has made no mistakes in my life. I’m so grateful that he loves me, he sees me, he knows.
I continue to grow in my faith on a daily basis but began knowing the Lord as a teenager. Ii is beyond me how anyone can carry on in this life without having Jesus as your Best Friend, Savior and Lord of your life. It is a constant comfort to know I am not alone. God Bless you
