It's A Single Mom Thing

Send Sherry a Text Message

Dating in this season comes with new terms of engagement because although you may be a solo momma, you are not solo! You've got your kiddos to think about. It can be tempting to focus on romance when you're in love, but when children are involved, you have a sacred responsibility to make wise dating decisions that reflect what's best for all involved. 

That's a lot to consider when you haven't even cast your line out into the fishpond yet. 

Remember, you want something different and not the same mistake with a different person! 

So, if you think you are ready to date again or are even considering it, let's toss around six practical tips to guide you through the process. 

1. Your Healing Comes First
2. Know Your Motivation
3. Become the Right Person
4. Choose Character First
5. Guard Your Sexual Integrity 
6. Wait to Involve Your Kids

CAUTION SIGNS: You need to put a stop to your dating relationship if the person you're dating does any of the following:

• Pressures you to get married before you're ready to do so.
• Has an extremely different approach to parenting than you do.
• Is addicted to alcohol or drugs.
• Demands to be the center of attention all the time.
• Can't stop his or her ex-spouse from interfering in your life.
• Wants to live with you before marriage.

It's a Single Mom Thing, Not the Single Thing That Stops You!

Valentine's Day is a season and reason why many solo mommas and Christian single women get bitter - it's hard, it hurts, and it highlights what we think we don't have instead of putting a spotlight on what we do have!

So today, we are going to focus on the relationship we do have, and some wisdom that is sprinkled in His Word. He is our hope, and it is He who is preparing us right now for relationships with Him, and the man who is yet to come into our life.

Luke 14:34-35 says, "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, it is thrown away.

So why would He say such a thing? What does salt do that is worthy of his word to you?

Find out more as we forget the sad and get a little bit salty up in here.

Show Highlights

• You are single and saved.
• He is the relationship you are looking for and He will prepare you for the relationship He has for you.
• We are not capable of loving someone without conditions if we don't know the one that loved us first.
• We are singled out for His purpose. 
• We want God's best, forget the rest.

As a solo momma,  you may feel that there are some things when it comes to relating and dating that haven't been quite working out for you. 

Whether you are recently divorced,  lost your spouse, or ended a long-term relationship, dating as a solo momma comes with new terms of engagement. 

While being single in this season can be lonely,  it certainly is not a reason to be sad, but it is a time to get a little salty.  Come back on Valentine's Day as we try that one on for size, followed by "6 Tips for Single Moms Who Are Ready to Date", on Feb. 21, and "Would You Date on You" on Feb. 28.

It's time to discover and uncover the plans God has for us when it comes to relationships and relating to others - getting to the heart of the matter.

Show Highlights

1. Jesus loves us enough not to leave us where he found us.
2. Keep walking and working out what isn't working for you. 
3. It may be a single mom thing, but it doesn't have to be the single thing that stops you.

Hebrews 11:1

You are a solo momma, and that plate of yours is full!

For some of you, like us, you may be spinning more than one plate and if someone serves us up one more thing for you to do, all those plates are going to come crashing to the floor, and guess whose job it will be to clean it up.

That’s right you!

So, what plates as solo mommas are we spinning and why do we feel the need to take on more? Have we given you some food for thought?

Today we are going to serve up solutions and see what is on that plate of yours!

Quoted Bible Verses:
Romans 7:15-19              John 15:5
Philippians 4:13              Matthew 11:28-30
Luke 10:40-42                 Psalm 23:5

Resistance Training - Toning Up and Tuning Out Temptations

As solo mommas raising our kiddos, who has time for resistance training, right. Most days, our kiddos are resisting us and it's all we can do to get them out the door and to school on time. That certainly doesn't leave much time for resistance training, does it? But, what type of training are we actually talking about here? Today, are going to stretch ourselves and try on some "next-level" resistance training, for what we resist persists, and will WAY into the new year. Now, that's not a good look for any of us. So get ready, get sweaty, and let's get uncomfortable. Together, we are going to isolate a temptation that gets us bent out of shape, affects us to our core, and we are going to learn how to tune it out.

2 Corinthians 12:10

As solo momma’s we all have baggage that we carry on "the daily" and it weighs us down! That baggage keeps us from our purpose and from living on purpose! We wear it like an oversize t-shirt called pain that hides all the good stuff we have underneath. It’s time to let go mommas of the bags, the excess weight we carry and get on to the plans God has for us, for they are good! In this show, we will unpack all the hidden bags we carry and be sure to drop some unwanted pounds. We’ll leave looking good and feeling oh so lighter.

Take a load off and learn more ways to support yourself in this solo momma season.

There are some things you simply can’t control. The passing of time is one of them. You cannot stop the hands on the clock from moving forward. Time marches on whether you like it or not. And once it's gone, it's gone for good. How can you make the most of your time?  Make every second count? Especially as a single mom with so many responsibilities resting on your shoulders.

Everyone knows that goal-setting is important. Whether we do it consciously or not, we always have our minds set on goals. It’s instinctual, actually.  So, why are so many of us not reaching our goals?  Because the real challenge with goals is not determining if you want the results, but if you are willing to accept the sacrifices required to achieve them.
