I thank God for helping me and my sons so many times throughout the years of singlehood. Relying on God is all that has gotten me to this point. I remember a couple of weeks after my divorce, I was praying, "Lord, how will I ever make it through the next 18 years????" He has provided, supplied, carried me, and been there every step of the way. And I know He will continue to do so, no matter what happens. Sometimes when I open my mouth to mete out the punishment, it has to be Him talking. Because I am just too tired.
People talk about how the 'empty nest' is so bad. It will be an accomplishment. Raising two sons with no male in house, has been hard. I think, once i get them 'grown' and they are out of college and on their own, will be just fine. I will have completed my task from God. And maybe rest. Ya think?
Job 16:20 My intercessor is my friend, as my eyes pour out tears to God.

My sister is in the very same boat...God is The Man in her house, too. She worries about her two daughters not having a man in their life, but she worries even more about her teenaged son!
(God bless these poor, fatherless children all over the planet! And thank God for the MOTHERS who stay put.)
You know that I love you! And when all else fails I pray then run to you for advice!
