Still, I have felt the peace of God and His guidance and presence through it all - He has been with me every step of the way.

I have been praying and praying and asking everyone I know and some people I don't even know to pray! I remarried and hoped to bring the kids with me to another state. I did the right thing and asked his permission first, he made it seem it would comply, but told me no, so I got my lawyer the very same day and started the process which started in Aug. Some think I am selfish and that I have abandoned my children, but it is quite the opposite. The people I DO know well know my ex has kept control over me for years. Ever since the divorce was final, I kept record of everytime he called to say he couldn't keep the kids, brought them back to me early, or denied me communication with them. He never carried insurance on them like he said he would and he got a big break in child support because he was suppose to carry the insurance. He got a break, because he asked to have them 40%, but he didn't hold up to that end of the bargain, he doesn't take them to church, nor their extracurricular activites. My daughter is in seventh grade and was in Girl Scouts since Kindergarten and he made her quit bc he din't want to drive her to meetings. My son was involved with Royal Rangers at church and he doesn't want to take them to that either. I sometimes get caught up thinking negatively and thinking evil prevails in this world, and I cry...but I pick myself up and remember God's promises and take refuge in his strength...for He is my shield and comfort!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918897662828373907.post-73753447867426004962014-10-21T19:51:45.337-04:002014-10-21T19:51:45.337-04:00Thanks so much Donna!

I have compared myself to 2 parent families at daycare thinking life is somehow "better" for them...dad dropping off /picking kids up, they have houses and mom is making goods from her garden. When I start comparing myself to others I remind myself to thank God for my home, warm bed, food in our bellies, etc. This gets me in the spirit of thankfulness. I then can see how blessed I am. When it comes down to it, it all about the thoughts we "choose" to feed or give power to. It can be as simple as saying Im not going to entertain limiting beliefs about my life, but noooo we dont like "simple" at times and go for complicated instead. It's a blessing that there is a scripture for whatever challenge we face in life. <br />And although I am single Mother, God knew what he was doing because I have never read the bible, prayed and rejoiced in Lord this much in my 33 yrs of life. He is so clever!<br />I love your posts! You and your daughter make a beautiful family! Thank you for writing. Your words are a blessing to me! :)<br />Warmly,<br />KandiceKanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768228269546635546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918897662828373907.post-47466939032193963102014-09-29T15:21:08.347-04:002014-09-29T15:21:08.347-04:00This is a great reminder!

This would help the child and the mother as well. Indeed, if the father truly is abusive or anything of that sort, the child would eventually know about it anyway. I hope all single parents, moms and dads, do follow your suggestions. Thanks, and take care!<br /><br><a href="http://thebridgeacross.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-truth-about-lives-numerous-single.html" rel="nofollow">Carlos Strey @ The Bridge Across</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575041883836940182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918897662828373907.post-19852960698808336152014-08-10T22:41:05.895-04:002014-08-10T22:41:05.895-04:00Thank you friend . . . love your sister Christina....Thank you friend . . . love your sister Christina.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982111046067853572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918897662828373907.post-23865687618477821712014-08-09T14:41:40.857-04:002014-08-09T14:41:40.857-04:00This is the best back-to-school guide I've rea...This is the best back-to-school guide I've read!

Before I had my son it was all about me and I went out a lot. When he was a baby it took an adjustment because I was not able to go out as much. But I came to learn that I could be goofy with my son, play, and we have a good time all on our own. I no longer feel like I am missing out on anything, and I love being a mom.
