Gaining self-esteem as a single mom can be complicated, but it affects every area of our lives.

One day, I woke without any self-esteem. Oh, yeah, that’s right, it was in the third grade; the cool girls I sat next to in school told me that I was absolutely “not cool.”

I remember being slightly shocked. Even though I didn’t get it, I knew this was not good.

Don’t feel too sorry for me. My life was full of friends, good parents, and many happy memories.

But the truth is this thing called self-esteem is hard to keep a hold of.

It’s like riding a wild rollercoaster and expecting to keep your hair nice and neat. We can’t make it through this life without being worn down in this area.

The Full Armor Of God

Fighting Spiritual Battles

I’ve never given much thought to putting on the whole armor of God. It was just a random verse in the Bible. But lately, I’ve seen the wisdom to apply this verse tangibly and comprehensively. My lack of putting on the whole armor of God has resulted in me being weak, indecisive, passive, and helpless. I sit around, waiting for the subsequent defeat. The next thing to go wrong. And the other shoe to drop. Whining. Moping. I’m sitting here on a battlefield without armor or weapons. No wonder I feel I feel helpless and knocked about. It's time to put on the full armor of God.
