Patience is a virtue

As a single mother, you may often wonder if you will ever love or be loved by a man again. It’s one sad thought that keeps many single mothers up at night. Although we literally share our lives with our kids, we sometimes feel a strong dose of loneliness from time to time. I mean the really tough kind of loneliness; the kind that seem to knock you down and may even bring those uncontrollable tears that just keep coming - the kind of loneliness that only a single mother can relate to.

I know it’s easier said than done, but patience is a virtue. Many times we rush into the wrong relationship out of fear of doing it alone, but sometimes we need that “me” time to get to know our true wants and desires. And if you are like me, you truly believe that God has something great in store for you. He just wants you to be patient long enough to transform you into the woman that can appreciate that man that he will soon bless you with. So get peace in the reality that this is only temporary, and the man that you thought you wanted does not come close to YOUR real man, your real husband. Just keep it on ice and stay cool; your time is nearer than you think.
