Its Time...............

I have written in a previous post that it is time to get serious about my Father's business. I have received confirmation in more ways than one since I have written that post. So, this post is me getting serious about my Father's business and His plan for my life. I  have always found my foundation of faith to be in Jesus Christ because without Him nothing is possible but with Him all things are possible. I began this blog because I have a genuine passion for women who are single mothers but I have a soft spot for those who are single mothers to boys. Those of you who know me would say that I have that soft spot because I am a single mother to a wonderful son. However, that is not the case. My love for single mothers raisng sons is because I want to see the men who are our future be raised to be the men that God needs them to be. There are so many women who are single mothers to young men because the men who fathered these sons are not (or may not have been taught) being the men that God needs them to be. We (women) have had to become independent which made us less dependent on the one who holds it all in His hands. I am not indicating that we are not supposed to be independent and self-sufficient but I am saying that we should not have to.We should not have to be both mother and father because God created both man and woman for a purpose. We (women) are a strong creation and at times we don't recognize our own strength (I am talking to me first). God may have made us from man for man but not to be "the man". When did the woman become the head of the household? When did the woman become the provider? When did the woman become the protector? Now, before I go any further I am going to say this: Not all the men in the world are lacking. So, I give praise when praise is due to the men who are taking care of their responsibilities as a father and the head of the household. Enough digression, back to the heart of the matter. Men we (women) need you and you need to know that but you also need to know that a lot of us have lost our femininty because of the masculinity we had to carry.  I am raising my son to understand that his household should not consist of only mommy (unless it was God's will). Our young men coming up n the areas of where I live need postive males in their lives when negativity is coming at them from every angle. Boys in general need their fathers. Let me be clear that paying child support does not make you a father.......who would have thought???? We (women) can only do so much before it becomes detrimental for the father to step into the boys' life and take the wheel....So, ladies and gentlemen let's make our future shine above our past and present by getting these upcoming men the tools they need to succed in all facets of their lives. Let's break the cycle of imprisonment............
