When one is growing up, especially the girls, we all think of how we are going to bring up happy families with loving husbands by our side.
Most of the time this is far from the truth.
No one ever gets prepared enough to become a single mother.
Being a single mother myself, I know pretty well the struggles one goes through every day trying to raise a baby on there own.
Its not the worst thing that can ever happen to you but there are emotional struggles on the way.
This is especially if you had not planned to be a single mother.
The guy ditched you.
When this happens and probably you were in love, you feel betrayed and very lonely.
You wonder if you can ever be able to love the product of such betrayal.
It is not easy carrying a pregnancy and at the same time dealing with rejection.
This can cause serious health problems not only to you but to the baby too.
You need friends and the most important person to carry you through, God.
When this happened to me, I thought it was the end of the world.
I did not have a job.
I had no idea of how I could ever get through with the pregnancy on my own.
God chose this time to reveal his true self to me.
It was not easy for me to forgive and let go but with the power of God, I did it.
Forgiving the father of my baby opened a door for me and my daughter to have a real relationship.
Sometimes we feel that the man has hurt as so badly that we cannot forgive him.
Jesus understands all the emotions we go through here on earth as he lived in it as a man too.
When you go to him and ask for his help in dealing with the situation he will.
Do not let the hurt of a broken relationship affect your relationship with your child.
That child is very innocent.
It is a gift from God.
It has nothing to do with whatever happened.
I remember telling God that I do not want anything in my baby that will remind me of the man.
Funny enough the baby has no resemblance with the man though it does not matter now since God has helped me get over the hurt.
He can do the same to you.
Allow him to.
