I don’t think my mom expected me to be single at 32 any more than I did. She got married at 18 and had me at 22, so our 20-year-old lives were very different. As I look at my Baby Girl, I already have expectations for her even though I don’t like to admit it. I know that God has a very specific purpose for her life, and I would never want to thwart it, but it’s still hard not to look at where I’ve been and hope for different for my Baby Girl. I try to not hold on too tightly.
As moms we have to embrace the life seasons God allows in our daughters’ lives – even if these season are not what we would choose. My season was made up of prolonged singleness. It wasn’t my dream, but it was my reality, and I needed my mom to come alongside me and help me through it.
Today I am at More to Be talking about how to be a mom to a single daughter. I would love for you to join me there as I share what I needed during this time in my life.
