Todays has been overwhelming. I received a call from the school letting me know that my son has been suspended from the bus again, making this the fourth incident. They showed grace by choosing not to remove him from the bus for the remainder of the school year. Instead, they decided on a 15-day suspension, considering my current circumstances with limited transportation and financial challenges getting him back and forth. The school has already put several plans of action in place, and I have truly been trying, praying, but it just feels like nothing is working right now. Not sure what I am needing.

So many of us who are raising kids without our child’s other parent present have gotten used to calling ourselves “single parents.” But I had to step back and ask myself… Am I really “single”?Or have I just accepted a label God never gave me? Because let’s be real...sometimes the word single can feel like: • less than• rejected• unseen• unappreciated• left to do life alone But God NEVER called you “less than.” He calls you: Set apart.Chosen.Beloved child.Redeemed.Forgiven.A friend of God.His workmanship. So today I’m being honest… I’ve called myself a “single mom” FAR too much.And it stops today. Because I am not abandoned.I am not forgotten.I am not unloved. ✨ I am a CHOSEN mother.✨ I am a REDEEMED mother. And you.... yes YOU...YOU ARE 🧡 a chosen father🧡 a chosen mother🧡 a redeemed father🧡 a redeemed mother🧡 a SET APART parent Be careful what you label yourself.....because words carry weight. So watch your mouth when you talk about God’s chosen…and guess what? YOU are chosen. You are not raising those babies alone.God IS your help.And He is sending you help... in His time, in His way. Help is on the way.Wait patiently… not as someone abandoned…but as someone FULLY LOVED, FULLY COVERED, and FULLY CHOSEN. With your beautiful / handsome self. 🧡

Because this is not just about behavior… This is about understanding your child AND supporting you as a parent. This week we’re going to talk about: • how to correct behavior without constant battles • what discipline actually looks like with ADHD • how to get your child to listen without repeating yourself 10 times • what to do when they won’t sit, won’t focus, or seem like they don’t care But we’re also going deeper… We’re going to pray over: • the parent who feels overwhelmed • the parent who feels judged or misunderstood • the parent who feels embarrassed in public • the parent who feels like they’re failing • the parent who is tired of being triggered every day Because this journey is not just hard on the child… It is heavy on the parent too. So this week is not just about correction… It’s about support, strategy, and covering your home in prayer. If this is you, drop below: “This is me.”
