When Carol Floch realized that her marriage was about to end and
that she was about to join the ranks of moms left to raise their
children on their own, she could not stop crying. She mourned her
shattered hopes and grieved the loss of the family she had always
dreamed of. But mostly, she cried for her children. Into Carol’s
grief, regret, and fear, God’s Spirit came with a message from
Psalm 84: Build your nest near my altar, and I will be your
children’s source of security, protection, provision, and
blessing.
In The Single Mom’s Devotional, Carol tells her story and
shares with the sisterhood of single moms how they can build their
family’s nest in the protective shadow of God’s presence. Single
mothers, whether on their own after a divorce or a husband’s death,
will discover how to find true life in Christ and allow the
strength of that inner life to be the compass by which they
navigate an unpredictable future. Near God’s altar, the cross of
Christ is where single moms will discover life through
relinquishment, power through dependence, and hope through
surrender. Anchored at the foot of the cross, readers will find
daily security and hope as they nourish their souls and nurture
their children at a place near God’s altar.
