Hannah was unable to have children, however, she did not give up on God. She prayed until something happened. Hannah made a covenant with God to give her child back to him once born. God in his own time allowed Hannah to be with-child. Hannah kept her promise to God, took her man child to a priest to be raised under the leadership of God; however, she too was a constant influence in his life. The man child's name was Samuel, who was one of the most influential & Godly men in the bible.
I, raised my children as a single mom. 1 girl and 2 boys. Who said we can not do it alone? Well some of us has proven society wrong. I agree it is hard raising boys alone; however, if there is a relationship with God, the right people will be placed in their path to assist along the way. If not, God will show us (women) how to raise them, and how not to raise them. Although I was not barren like Hannah, nor did I have the assistance that Hannah had; my men child had my constant Godly influence, which shaped their lives all the way into adulthood.
Raising my boys was hard, but God always made a way. I was a tomboy, so that helped in many ways. When God converted me into living the characteristics of a full blown woman, raising my boys seemed harder. I still enjoyed sports with them, but I did not know how to reach them when they got older and had man problems. In some areas I succeeded, while in others I failed. The moral of this story is, we can never take the place of what man can do with a man child, but through Christ, we can do all things. Give your man child to God, and watch the changes in his life.
In giving my boys to God, they have faced many challenges; because still today, they love God! Despite those challenges, they have always found their way back to Godly principles and relationship with God! Its their life long sustenance. Both of my boys are influential; try talking with them about the word of God
and you will see. #APROUDMOMOF2MANCHILDS!
