After a series of bad choices, Shelly was a single mom without a clue of what to do next.

Then she got married and discovered a powerful resource for her family.

Focus helped with parenting, helped with marriage, you know, struggles that, resources

that they suggested.

They helped me tremendously in getting over guilt and shame, walking me through that

so that I knew how to be a believer and how to be a good mom.

So I can't imagine my early walk or my walk at all with that focus on the family.

Well if you're single it can be easy to get discouraged, especially if you've been

single for a number of years. And today on focus on the family, our guest Cheryl Martin,

has some great encouragement for you.

And I reaffirmed in my heart just the other day, Lord, I trust that you're going to give me your best, even if your best, a man or no man. You have to get to that point. You'll hear

how Cheryl got to that point of trusting God on today's episode of

Focus on the Family. Your host is Focus President and author Jim Daly and I'm

John Fuller. John we often hear from older singles in our audience saying, don't forget about us.

There's a lot of us out here.

Well, today we have inspiration for you.

Whether you're widow, divorced, or never married, and Cheryl has a lot to say.

So we'll get right to her message.
