Who Are We? Do We Truly Know?

I was going to bed when I chose to take a quick peak at facebook and a friend had shared this video that was very moving about women and how they see themselves or how how they are. It was very moving and I could see why this would be huge for women to watch however, I would like to take it a step further...

How many of you out there think that you are just getting by? That this single parenting thing is really tough and you are not good at it? That your kids don't appreciate you and all that you do for them?

How many of you think that you must look a mess because of all the running around you do?

Well the truth is more then likely you don't really see yourself in the same light as others see you! Chances are your kids think your pretty darn amazing they just don't tell you all the time :)  Also think about how many times have you heard "Oh my God how do you do it all by yourself?"

We are a pretty amazing group of parents who give up on a lot to assure that our children have what they need and feel that they have just as great a family as Timmy down the street with two parents in the same household! Don't ever forget that single parents are pretty amazing and we are raising some pretty awesome kids or we have raised some pretty awesome kids!

Watch this short 3 minute video...


 
And, so it goes...

    The best thing is to block out Hollywood's and those glossy magazines' idea of what beauty is and focus on how God sees us. "Fearfully and wonderfully made" in His own image! I would have described myself as the beautiful woman I know I am :-) And yes, my kids may not say it everyday, but they know how blessed they are, just as I am blessed to be their momma.

    I was a single mom since my daughter was 4. This video reminded me of how harsh we are on ourselves. Thanks for sharing.
