Single Parenting

It is so hard to trust God with finances  and your children! Especially being a single parent!! Because you are the sole provider for your child or children and so it falls all on you! So if you need help with your child/childrens needs:  financial, food, clothes, etc....then you feel you are not succeeding at being mom and dad because if you were succeeding at this then you would be able to provide all their needs....and that's where trusting in Jesus to supply all your needs and trusting in Him for your children is so hard!
I think this is because the single mother/father parenting is not how it is meant to be! Children  are suppose to have a mother and father and now in the culture we live in it is almost fashionably correct to be a single parent. This just shows how far far far we have drifted from biblical foundations in our country!
So back to the trusting, the single mother/father  is now a normal thing and since this has thrown the biblical meaning of family off balance it puts all the pressure on the single parent to be the mom and dad and to be the sole provider and the nurturing one. Whereas  before the father was the sole provider and the mother stayed home and was the nurturer and things were balanced out. 
Now the new normal is single parenting,  no matter how we feel about it it is true.  I am a single parent, and so we have to be  both parents and we have to learn how to Trust in God to be the Head of our families however the family may look now.  I think, No I know, that God gives Grace to the single parent and gives them super natural strength and patience to make it through the day everyday! 
No matter how the family looks now, one thing still remains the same! And that is Jesus is the head of the family and the Center of the home!
