Christian resources on identity and spiritual growth for single moms
A collection of post focused on strategies for spiritual growth including: prayers, bible verses, bible studies, and topical christian resources.
Ladies, I have wanted to write about this topic for a while. But now it seems more important than ever to touch on the subject of trusting God. With coming off of a year of crazy politics, our world on locked down, and the health of others jeopardized, there’s no time more critical than now to trust God with the future of your family, country, and this world.

Sometimes as a single mom, we can feel isolated, ignored, and invisible. We not only feel this way with our peers, but we often feel this way with God. But that is far from the truth. God loves us, and there are things that God wants single moms to know that will change the way you feel. (more…)
On my Journey to 30, I have definitely been transformed by God and the truth I find in His bible verses. For this post of the Journey to 30 series, I want to provide you all with a list of some of my favorite bible verses for moms or scriptures that have been pivotal in helping me overcome and thrive on my single mom journey.
Being a Christian does not make my circumstance problem free. But it allows me to see life from a different perspective, kingdom perspective rather than problem perspective.
My favorite way to lean into the scriptures or bible verses for moms is through topical research. What I am going through at that moment I find a scripture to help me understand why and help me get through to see another day.
Scriptures or bible verses (whatever you prefer) are our weapons for the enemy. We fight our battles and the lies that come to take us out with His truth.
I will tell you from experience….it WORKS!
The bible says:
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21
I don’t know about you but I choose life no matter what. So making sure I filll my thoughts, my heart, and my words with truth and life giving statements are a must. Therefore, I created a list of scriptures to keep in my arsenal to uplift me as a woman and as a mother in the busyness of life. Check them out now!
I hope these scriptures sparked a fire in you or pruned you where you needed to make adjustments. God’s Words individually are impactful, but when you take each scripture that speaks to you and begin to meditate on all context around it, the bible comes alive.
I’ve used various lists of scriptures or bible verses to be a starting point. If you have trouble knowing where to start to study the bible. Look up scriptures around what you’re going through at the time. It fills me everytime and quenches my curiosity.

Today, I want to share with you ways to get in God’s Word that are easy, structured for busy moms, and will get you well on your way to being thirsty for the Word of God. (more…)
A while back I posted a few Facebook statuses for others to share what they admired about me and what they believe I would speak on as a Ted Talk presenter. In general, most people admired my positivity, my spiritual commitment, and discipline. Which in my head, I felt I struggled in all these areas. But through embracing this side of me, I’ve seen my spiritual health improve significantly.
You look online, watch tv, and even sneak into break room conversations, people are talking about health. Whether it’s the health of the nation, mental health, the physical state of your body, fitness programs, and eating trends, health is very important to our culture.
But there is one area that many communication outlets tend to neglect, in regards to promotion, is spiritual health.

Spiritual Health refers to your core being. The place where you find hope, a future, and peace. The part of you that finds harmony between your body, mind, and soul.
Spiritual wellness helps you to process what you see in the world and how to respond to what you experience. Your spirit guides you in finding the meaning of life and identifying your unique purpose.
Every living breathing creature on this earth should be nurturing their spiritual health. Our spirit is the life-giving component to our being. With that being said, tending to your spirit is vital.
We should reassess and check-in on this aspect of our health daily. I say daily because there is so much going on in this world right now that is affecting every part of our lives. If we’re not careful, our spirits can be wounded to the point that makes recovery difficult.
If we’re not being attentive, we can unintentionally allow things in our spirit and begin to see changes in our thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and interactions with others.
You can work on your spiritual health in many ways. Here are a few that can help:
Of course, there are plenty of things you can do to improve your spiritual health. However, I wouldn’t be walking in my calling if I didn’t warn you of the challenges that will impact your progression in this area of life.
There’s a great deal of challenges that we have no control over. But there is an opportunity to understand the challenges, know the reasons why spiritual health is important and keep the benefits at the forefront of the way we live. Below I address three reasons why we shouldn’t neglect it on our single motherhood journey.
Like I mentioned before, as troubling as the world looks right now, this too shall pass. We should not lose focus on what’s ahead because of the circumstances that we see right now.
Working on your spiritual health helps you maintain discipline to live out your vision and not get off track when the wind comes. As a single mom, we get a great deal of wind and obstacles, but our response is what determines our future.
I have to work on my spiritual health for this very reason. I am such an empathic and highly sensitive person. Therefore, I do things from a good place but not everyone is accepting of who I am. I have to really work on being confident and rooted in who I am so I will not allow the actions of others to ruin my view of goodness in me and around me.
If you are at a place that you don’t trust anyone, it is probably time you need to take a look at your spiritual health.
It is so easy to get caught up in your own life and your own problems as a single mom. When life becomes all about you, everyone around you suffers. There is more to you than your situation. I heard a speaker at Life of A Single Mom say “look at life through a window, not a mirror.”
When you look through a mirror, all you see is yourself. But when you look through a window, you start to notice the beauty around you, the people who love and want to help, and the needs of others. Everyone is doing life right now, it’s better to do it together.
As a certified life coach, clarifying questions and action steps are my favorite things in the world. When it comes to your spiritual health, you should be able to answer those thought-provoking questions and have steps in place to build endurance over time. Here are a few questions, I want to ask you regards to bettering your spiritual health:
All in all, I encourage you to lay out three specific things you will keep, add, and remove from your spiritual life to care for your spirit as a single mom. That way you have a solid vision and actions to be proactive in your own spiritual well-being.
Hope this blesses at least one single mama!
