Get past "what might have been" and look toward "what can be."
Today's single moms find it increasingly difficult to juggle the demands of a full-time job, raising children, and finding time to keep themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.
Author and single mother Lela Gilbert believes that you can apply a common-sense solution to this delemma: Get your life in order first, which then allows you to better help your children.
- Improve your parenting skills using fifteen proven principles
- Manage finances and obtain legal help
- Find friends and a friendly church
- Forgive others and yourself
By focusing on eight core personal challenges, Lela provides practical guidance and a welcome dose of hope and encouragment. As you learn to trust God with yourself and your children, you can gain a new (and much-needed) positive perspective on life as a single mother. Each chapter includes discussion questions for use in small groups or personal reflection.
