As a single mother who lost full time custody of her children, I know exactly how difficult and heart breaking this situation is and my heart goes out to all woman who are facing this incredibly difficult trail.
Erin:Yes! I agree, it is one of the most ignored and most heartbreaking 💔 but accepted atrocities in our society. Not just for the mother but for the children who are suffering and damaged from these horrible practices.
Adina: I’ve heard about so many women who ran away with their children to try to “protect” their children and to try and run away from the custody battle and losing their children. I’ve read about a woman who committed suicide after losing custody of her children. As a mother, I think this is one of the most difficult things we will ever face.
Erin: I’ve witnessed the same thing Adina. No matter how difficult adultery abandonment and everything else most women come here seeking hope who are desperate— when it’s a mother and her children are at risk of being abused in this manner by being separated from their own mother—the pain and suffering is turned up seven times hotter.
“Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and his facial expression changed toward the three youths. Then he gave a command that the furnace was to be heated seven times hotter than usual.”
But my HH blessed me the day I found this ministry because He knew exactly what was up ahead on my journey. He not only prepared me through the Wise Women book, but HE also led me to translate the Facing Divorce Book that gave me the principles to face the litigation that came against me, at just the right time …… Because HE knew!
Erin: just the way you began Adina BUT… But for Him who has compassion on us, as mothers understanding that all of his creation is created with a mother, as the nurturing parent, who is ready to battle to save, and protect her young, even at the cost of her own life. Yet just as fighting a spiritual battle to save a marriage will result in devastating consequences even more so when it’s the children at stake—seven times as serious and dangerous.
I’ve learned so many things last year during the first year of my children staying with their dad and me being a weekend mom. And I would love to share my experience with women going through the same and to help them to grab hold of the ONE, their HH, to help them get through this trail and use it for good.
Erin: Adina we all need to hear this truth and encouragement if not for ourselves to be equipped and prepared to minister to other mothers who will face this wicked and cruel act against the mother and children.
I would love to share the biblical principles I’ve learned from FDA and how it can also be applied to custody issues while appointing your HH as your Mighty Counsellor.
Erin: Let’s set your blog to post each THURSDAY to be ready and be prepared for mothers who will need our compassion and support from wise women.
I am trusting and SG to show me a way to integrate FDA and what I am learning from Homegrown in order to best minister to other women in the same situation, I trust that He will lead me in this.
Erin: I’m confident He will speak through you and be the voice “for such a time as this” so more mothers and children will not only survive but thrive and GLOW—radiant reflecting GOD’S Love 💗
“They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed.”
“Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.”
📢 UPDATE: Adina says:

I’ve been SG and how where and when to post on HGM and He laid some things on my heart like integrating FDA with what I’ve learned as a mother who faced a custody battle.
He is leading me to share on Monday’s since I am a weekend mom and I can share my praises and overcoming challenges after each weekend the children where with me and what He showed me that weekend, also on Monday’s after the kids weren’t with me and how He leads me to go through those dreaded weekends with peace and joy.
At the end of last year He also placed the desire in my heart to do a FDA “course”, almost like the WW course on Thursdays on H@L. But I am SG about how, where and when \o/
Erin; As I commented yesterday… “The mind man plans his way, but directs his steps” rings true after reading your second comment, Adina. My mind naturally planned a schedule … which I will go and update right now.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.“
It was easy to confirm that Adina was correct because it is what my husband my maker has been saying to me and I’ve been saying to our ministers—we must post what’s REAL and RAW and FRESH. Thank you Adina!! 🤗💗
Thank you so much for encouraging me here once again Adina and Erin, although I have no idea what you are going through, I can also relate to some of the things as just sending my children to their dad was and is still sometimes difficult for me. Knowing that whatever I teach them, is not the same values they are necessarily taught there. I have the peace to know that when they are with their dad, their Heavenly Father is there with them. This gives me peace and also comforts me.
