Today I woke up with gratitude. Not because life has been easy—but because through every broken piece, God has been faithful.
As a Christian single mom, divorce left me feeling like everything was taken from me. My heart was shattered, our home life was flipped upside down, and financially—I was brought to my knees. There were days I didn’t know how I’d pay for groceries, days I cried quietly in the bathroom so my boys wouldn’t see. The enemy tried to convince me that I was abandoned and alone. But God never left.
Today, I’m walking in spiritual healing—not because my circumstances magically changed, but because God changed me in the middle of them.
This morning, I told my boy we were going on an adventure—a simple walk through a local park that looks like a little European town, with fountains and artistic buildings. On this walking trail, surrounded by God’s creation, I’m teaching them what healing really looks like. That even when your world breaks apart, you can still trust the One who holds it all together.
We talked about how nature shows God’s love: the flowers blooming after winter, the water flowing freely, the sun shining after storms. Just like that, God restores what is broken.
💧 Divorce left us with little, but God has given us more.
🍕 Today ends our first vacation—a humble, budget-friendly staycation full of laughter, splash parks, pizza slices, and little boy giggles.
🌿 And in the middle of it, He’s showing me that healing doesn’t always come in big, loud miracles. Sometimes it comes in quiet walks, answered prayers, and holding your children’s hands while telling them how good God is.
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
If you’re a single mom going through it too—hear this: your story isn’t over.
God sees every tear, every fear, and every empty wallet. He’s not only your provider—He’s your healer, your protector, your peace. Keep Him at the center. Don’t stop praying. Open His Word. Speak life over your children. Speak life over yourself.
You will get past the past. You will rise. Not because of your strength, but because His strength is made perfect in your weakness.
So today, I'm choosing joy. I’m choosing to see God’s goodness. I’m choosing to walk in healing. And I’m teaching my boys that even when life falls apart, God builds something even better.
With love from a mom who’s been there—
Kerri Anderson ❤️
