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 — 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. 🧡
