Single Parenting
Evangelist Aleacha Sweeting
As overwhelming as the responsibilities of single motherhood are at times, the love between mother and child can overshadow the negative or challenging times... I speak from experience when I said being a single mother can be one of the most difficult challenges any parent can have to deal with, it doesn’t matter your age, sizes, race or even financial status, no one wants to raise their children by themselves, no one want to have that full responsibility of raising a child (dren) without both parents.
For me I can truly say it has not been easy and having a son now fifteen does not get any easier. Not only do I have to raise my son but I have to deal with the challenges of him being a teenager. While I can compare my life and what my needs were as a teenager, I still cannot tell what a teenage boy deepest feeling are because the fact is, I am not a man.
As a single parent we do it all. We cook, drop our kids to school, pick them up, clean up after them, stay up with them at nights and if they are sick we nurse them. We teach them and help with homework. We spend time with them, teaching them the small things and life. We sometimes teach them to ride a bike. We support them fully making sure that even if we don’t eat our child (dren) never goes to bed hungry and making sure they always have clothes on their backs. Showing up to every school event to support our children and teaching them and most of all teaching them Godly principles is also important. While we teach our children Godly principles, steer them in the right direction and mold them into being an adult, the truth is a woman can never truly mold her son into being a man. This is why it is important for us as single mothers with sons especially to find that strong male figure that we know to assist in raising our son(s). It maybe a grandfather, uncle, brother, men in the church, neighbor, or whomever you can trust. It is great to have a male figure in your child’s life on occasion. This can help reinforce your parenting as well, and like myself, if you have a son, they tend to relate to that male figure on a better level.
I know it is hard being a single parent but I say this to you…God has great plans for each of our kids. These plans were created long before the earth was spoken into existence. And God also knew before we did that we would have to raise our kids on our own depending on him for His help and direction. Our kids will be something great when they grow up, and all for the glory of God. Nothing happens by Chance and as hard as it may seem now, our experiences are from God. Trust God and watch as our Children Grow up to be just what God has called them to be.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Breaking free from your mind
Evnagelist Aleacha Sweeting
Most times we experience things in life and you begin to point fingers.. Playing the blame game.. Pointing finger on who’s fault things are … But if the truth be told, most things that happens to us, we have control and the upper hand of it a head of time. But we become complacent and sometimes think we are above all things and think we have total control that we forget to actually take control.
We sometimes open doors to our minds and we let the devil in, we give him full access to pollute our mind, and so he walks in.. not alone ..but with all his gang members, some of whom are doubt, of fear, some of confusion…..ome of restlessness and self pity,and together they form an alliance and put chains on our minds and before we know it. we start to lose faith in our abilities and talents. We stop thinking positive and all our thought have become negative “I can't." “I don’t know if I can” We begin to developed the feeling that no one care and no one love us.. We avoid new people and new experiences because in our mind everyone is the enemy and everyone is against us except our own mind..
The mind that is telling us everything contrary to life, everything that will keep us chain and keep us in bondage to our own thoughts and away from what truth is. In all this some people want to stay in that same form of mind set away from others, away from truth, because it’s their way to stay inside and play it safe. However there are some who will cry for help, cry for freedom. Because they now realize that the enemy of the mind have them stagnating; it has them trapped in the cage that they once found comfort in and now they can’t understand what is going on or when it started.
What had first seemed such a safe and comforting way to live and to think is now confusing you and pulling you away from the plans of God and his call on your life. The Cry out for help is sometimes unheard by man but your spiritual cry for help in pain in agony ,because there is no comfort in the comfort zone, This cry Is never unheard by God….You now know you can do it!!, you now will live !! Now as you allow yourselves to break free from your self-imposed boxes, bars and chains that had your mind in captive. No matter how hard it seem and no matter how long gone we may seem, it’s not and will not be too late to transform or renew your mind, to renew your mind “We take captive of every thought to make it obedient Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; .. 2 Corinthians 10:5 … I say to you let us commit ourselves to the continual “renewing of our mind”, that we might be, filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; To walk in God’s perfect will and plans for your life and to be fruitful and increase in the knowledge of God. Today is the day, this hour is the time to take control of your thought and your mind, don’t let your mind control you. You have to power to choose what you think. Today break free, Free from the chains in your mind. Free your mind!

Even in the Darkest Hour God’s way is there to Light your Path
Even in the Darkest Hour God’s way is there to Light your Path
YOU ARE never ALONE!!
Sometimes it may seem like the enemy surrounds you everywhere, it may be that moment in your life that you feel alone. These are the times when no one on earth can truly understand what we are feeling and why, There are even times when you may try to find comfort in friends, in family, or even in our spiritual leaders, but for the most part of it, non one is there when you really need someone to talk to.
During these times even thou it may not seem so, God is right there
You may feel God is no where near, But God wants you to remember that he will never leave you by yourself; he will never forsake you, he knows your pain and every situation you go through and he is there to help you and most of all to heal you every where you hurt Isaiah 43:2 he said ; "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 (KJV): So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure
It proves that the savior knew that we would go through some rough time, but he also wanted to let us know that whatever situation we faced, He would be our shelter to us and he will be with us.
If you believe this, then you need not be afraid to be led into the future, because we are confident that we won't face it alone and that whatever the future may hold, the Shepherd goes ahead of us, preparing the way, turning even the most difficult circumstances into an abundant blessing
David showed much confidence when he said in Psalms 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." David was sure that God was with him and because of his confidence he did not fear any evil that may seem to rise up against him He knew that he was not alone, even in his darkest hour God would be there .
God wants us to trust him, no matter what situation we go through, he wants us to have faith in him and not to be moved by the things we go through.
1 Peter 4:12-13 (KJV): Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
So be confident that whatever your dark hour may be, you won't face it alone, God wants you to cast your care on him because he cares for you He wants you to know that no matter what situation you face he is there and his way is there to light your path.
With strength and wisdom to guide you to the light from your shadow of darkness. Be strong; be brave for God is right there with you!

Suicide
We often wonder why someone would commit suicide, and how is it that for the most part, people around them never see their cry for help.
One of the most common things said after an individual dies by suicide is… "I would have helped the situation had I known what he or she was going through".
The truth is... most of us always know what the victim experienced before he or she chose the path of suicide, but by the time they are gone, we realize it is actually too late to help them, so we cry out in remorsefulness of not being there to help that individual before they would have chosen that path.
As human beings we always seem to have an opinion as to how and what we could have done differently to help save a persons life, but the truth is... very few people come up with a solution that can help to save someone contemplating killing them self.
There is hope for people who contemplate suicide, but for most people the word ‘hope’ does not exist when they have a want to die. So it takes more than just telling them there’s hope, but rather by reaching out and touching that person's life, showing them love, care understanding for whatever it is they are going through, sometimes it takes going the extra mile
Remember what you take lightly someone else may take it to heart, we are all made up differently and the things that affect someone else, you may be able to fight through it .
If someone tells you he or she wants to commit suicide, wants to die or don't see the need to live, you should not take that lightly, if you are not in the position to help them, I would advise you to get someone who is qualified of help them. A.S.A.P
Confidentiality is not important when a person tells you he or she is desperately considering suicide. Most times an individual will never say it out in words, but, there are many cries and signs that a person is crying out for help. Some of the signs to look for are:
Changes in sleep habits, sleeping not much or not at all, Change in your weight or appetite, Loss of interest in usual activities, withdrawal from everyone, not wanting to see or hear from people who you would normally talk to, or always wanting to talk to people but have nothing of substance to say, sometimes just wanting to know that someone is on the other line, feelings of hopelessness, feelings of rejection, worthlessness, unloved ,always looking for approval from someone, or always looking for friends or love in the wrong places, most of these also fall under depression and depression can be the main factor which can also lead to suicide
Though not everyone that suffers depression end up as a suicidal victim, depression serves as a common cause that does lead to suicide. Depression is not a sin; it is best describe as a weak, uncomfortable feeling that makes you feel or have the attitude of hopelessness and despair.
Fighting against depression is not easy, but it can be done through Christ, the power of prayer, Bible study, and, fellowship among other believers.
The Feelings of depression can go away when the depressed person focuses less on himself, or his situation, and put that focus on Christ. It is also important to seek help right away, and talk to someone about what you are going through.
I believe that eighty percent of people who commit suicide do it out of selfishness, thinking about their feelings and not thinking about others. It is also a form of rebellion, rebellion against the will of God and what he has planed for your life, notwithstanding that God has created us to go through trials and tribulations.
The other twenty percent of people, who commit suicide, I conclude, suffer from mental illnesses or they are demonized by witchcraft or a spell, and that person doesn’t know what he or she is doing. However, it still does not justify the act; it is self murder and HELL! Awaits you.
People, who suffer from depression, often commit Suicide or have suicidal thoughts BUT I want to advise you, that suicide is never the way to go. Suicide only serves as a devastation to our loved ones you never intend to hurt; it is a horrible, terrible tragedy and anyone who has someone or knows someone who committed suicide knows the devastation it brings.
It is not fair to your loved ones to go thought this devastation. So if you or maybe someone you know is contemplating suicide please don't let pride get in the way. Talk to someone, not just anyone, but someone who is capable of helping you.
Satan's job is to convince those who feel unloved, unwanted and hopeless that there is no other way, or no way out, but if you kill your self, YOU WILL END UP IN HELL and there will be no way out! So speak life over your life, you shall live and not die. God has a plan for your life. God forgives every sin if you pray and repent for forgiveness. However If you commit Suicide, you have committed self murder, and you cannot repent because you would have died already died.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV) [16] don’t you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? [17] If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.

God’s Plan for your life
We have so many plans for our lives, but are the plans we have for our lives the plans God has for us?
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. God's will first and foremost… is that you have a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. When you develop a relationship with Him he will lead you to whatever plans he has in store for you. The word of God declared in Jeremiah 29:11-13 for I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Proverbs 19:21 (New King James Version) There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord's counsel—that will stand.
The scriptures show that God’s ultimate purpose for all of us is that He be glorified…That we seek him….That that we should align our plans with His, because in the end His plans will always succeed and they are eternal. .
God wants the best for his children; sometimes what we want for ourselves isn’t always what God wants for us but God always assures us that his plans for us are greater than we can ever ask or imagine, God wants us to trust him he wants us to always cast our cares and concerns on him because he cares for us. We may never see things the ways they really are, but if we put all our trust in God he will surly direct your path, things aren’t always the way they seem and so the word of God assures us again in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust In God. ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight”
As we study the word of God the Spirit of God will quicken our mind letting us know and understand the plans of God for us. The word Of God says “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. {9} Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. {10} Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. Psalms 32:8-10 NIV)
So remember whatever plans you have for your life, commit them to the Lord. In your ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy path. God’s plans and perfect will for your life are eternal and will always succeed.

Worry Flees When One Believes
Worry Flees When One Believes
I use to worry a lot about everything, but then I came to realise that when we worry it is a sign that we don't trust God to work things out for us.
My now experience is when you turn to God,He will lead you through what ever it is that you are going through. Things may seem hard and unbearable at first, but God will give you knowledge that will evenutally make all your worries go away when you have obtained a deep enough faith and understanding of what is going on in the world and how you should respond to it all.The key to getting through your hard times is to understand that it is a test of faith, and that God is asking you, will you follow God no matter what? For following God no matter what is one lesson we must master to have all our worries go away.
This does not mean you can just lay in bed and wait for a miracle. Just let Him guide you and keep the faith.How to start this process? Make a sincere offering to God, pray and tell God you want your worries to be lifted, that you want to find the way ask for wisdom and knowledge, and ask God to lead you to this,leading you with little signs showing you the way but its then up to you to follow those leads .
We take our worries to the Lord, knowing and trusting that He is in control,... when we live our lives living for the Lord, He brings peace to our hearts and mind.
There are times when we would liketo think we can solve any problem and we like to be in total control of any situation. But God has the final say in our life and itisupto himk to lead us through, He is in control of every situation in our lives. The Bible says we will be tested. So we will have to make sure we keep believing. Events in your life that you see as horrible, could turn out to be a gift from God years later. Read the Bible over and over, pray though out each day, help others all the time.
The Bible also tells us that we can spare ourselves a whole lot of stress and honor God a lot more by turning our problems into prayers. In Luke12 :22 :31 Vs. 22. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory 1 Kgs. 10.4-7 · 2 Chr. 9.3-6 was not arrayed like one of these.28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.So you see... God is big enough to handle our cares. He's much more experienced at solving problems than we are. If you trust in Him, seek Him & believe He sent His Son to die for you, you'll bear fruit & grow patient,to be more capable of dealing with life .
Prayer,fellowship,teaching and communion are requirements and are very important to help us through life's journey.
When you start to get worried, choose to be
clear-minded, instead. Remember that you can cast your cares upon God because he cares for you.

I use to worry a lot about everything, but then I came to realise that when we worry it is a sign that we don't trust God to work things out for us.
My now experience is when you turn to God,He will lead you through what ever it is that you are going through. Things may seem hard and unbearable at first, but God will give you knowledge that will evenutally make all your worries go away when you have obtained a deep enough faith and understanding of what is going on in the world and how you should respond to it all.The key to getting through your hard times is to understand that it is a test of faith, and that God is asking you, will you follow God no matter what? For following God no matter what is one lesson we must master to have all our worries go away.
This does not mean you can just lay in bed and wait for a miracle. Just let Him guide you and keep the faith.How to start this process? Make a sincere offering to God, pray and tell God you want your worries to be lifted, that you want to find the way ask for wisdom and knowledge, and ask God to lead you to this,leading you with little signs showing you the way but its then up to you to follow those leads .
We take our worries to the Lord, knowing and trusting that He is in control,... when we live our lives living for the Lord, He brings peace to our hearts and mind.
There are times when we would liketo think we can solve any problem and we like to be in total control of any situation. But God has the final say in our life and itisupto himk to lead us through, He is in control of every situation in our lives. The Bible says we will be tested. So we will have to make sure we keep believing. Events in your life that you see as horrible, could turn out to be a gift from God years later. Read the Bible over and over, pray though out each day, help others all the time.
The Bible also tells us that we can spare ourselves a whole lot of stress and honor God a lot more by turning our problems into prayers. In Luke12 :22 :31 Vs. 22. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory 1 Kgs. 10.4-7 · 2 Chr. 9.3-6 was not arrayed like one of these.28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.So you see... God is big enough to handle our cares. He's much more experienced at solving problems than we are. If you trust in Him, seek Him & believe He sent His Son to die for you, you'll bear fruit & grow patient,to be more capable of dealing with life .

Alone and Hurting...
This article is dedicated to those who suffer,to those who worry, those who hurt, to those who are unsure.
I dedicate this page to you... May you find peace, Joy love and Happiness, knowing that all these things are found in Jesus
May god bless you. I love you, but God loves you best!!
God loves you and wants you to have life more abundantly,, God wants to heal you every where you hurt, every where there is pain, or suffering he wants to heal and comfort you.
Trials comes only to make us stronger, don't give up, don't give in, God is able to do all things, He will not leave us nor forsake us...Trust him knowing that you are not alone, whatever it is that you are going through, I am here to tell you, some else has already gone through it.
'ISAIAH 43: 2-4'When you pass through the waters,I will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers,they will not sweep over you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you a blaze.For I am the Lord, you're God,the holly one from Israel,
you're savior...You are precious and honered
in my sight.
PSALM 91: 14-16' says:
He will call upon me, and I
will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and
honor him.
With long life will I
satisfy him
and show him my salvation.
There is always a word to assure us that God is with us, he knew we would have has heart aches and pains , and he also knew that there would be things in life we would go through, so he left us his word to comfort us, to heal, us. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass, you may seem alone and have no one to talk to, but know that God knows your deepest inner most feelings ,God is willing to help you my friend, just ask him to comfort and keep you, He will do it for you... cause He's done it for me.
May God Bless you Comfort you lead you and Guide you always.
Love Aleacha
