My Journey as a Single Mom of 3 (Part One) - Lucille's Story

Being a single Mother is no easy task! Single Moms must work hard, persevere through challenges, have a sense of stability, all while barely finding time to do what they enjoy apart from raising their children. Many married women would venture to say that raising children in a two parent household is no easy task, so to do it alone without the assistance of a spouse must be an even greater task to bear!     In Part 1 of this episode (see link to Part 2 below), you will hear some of Lucille Patterson's (Mother of Iyana Hood from episode 16, see link below) journey as she shares: what her life was like before she became pregnant, what led to her becoming pregnant with her first child at 18 years old, what her emotions were like when she found out, what she discerned early on about the role of her children's father, her emotions at the birth of her first child, the events which led to her second and third pregnancies, her desire of wanting to be married and eventually becoming engaged in addition to her lukewarm relationship with God during this time, her encounters with God and Him calling her out of her toxic relationship, and more!
