For the past 3 years I have done this and am always amazed at the powerful stories you share with me.  This year I want to share an update on our 2010 single parent winner, Andrea.  Here is what Andrea wrote to me:

“At the time I won the single moms contest in early 2010, my husband of almost 15 years had just left our family for another woman.  It was a sad,hard, and confusing time.  However, I knew that God has never let me down, He was faithful.  No matter how hopeless I felt,  I knew he would pull me through.  My kids are doing so much better and I would never take back the closeness that I have with them because of our struggles.  I have recently been blessed with being able to build my own home through the blessings of others.  It’s my first home and I am so excited!  The kids and I moved in just last week and we are already making incredible memories in our new home.  I am so thankful for the opportunities I have been given and I feel so empowered by all I have been able to accomplish being a single parent.”

I hope her story will give someone the encouragement they are needing today.

Make sure you share this with your friends with Facebook, Twitter, email, etc..  Let’s make sure this reaches as many single parents it can!
