J. Rosemarie Francis

Have you ever wondered how someone can rise from repeated abandonment, three failed marriages, and the brink of homelessness to create a life of purpose and hope? Sometimes our greatest struggles become the foundation for our most meaningful work.
In this deeply personal recording, I share the raw truth behind my transformation from a woman questioning her worth to someone dedicated to supporting solo mothers through their darkest moments. This isn't just another success story. It's a testament to what becomes possible when we stop running from our pain and start learning from it.
After my third divorce, I faced a choice that would change everything. Instead of falling into bitterness or blame, I chose to look inward. What I discovered through a simple but powerful exercise changed not only how I saw myself, but how I approached every relationship moving forward. The process revealed baggage I didn't even know I was carrying and patterns I had been unconsciously repeating for years.
The real test came when I found myself alone with two young sons, facing potential homelessness in Atlanta. What happened next required a leap of faith that still amazes me. A series of events so perfectly timed that they could only be described as miraculous. From an unexpected phone call to free plane tickets, from a stranger's generosity to a 900-mile move with everything we owned packed into a Toyota Camry.
But this story isn't just about divine intervention. But it's also about the courage to act even when fear threatens to paralyze you. It's about recognizing that our children are more aware of our struggles than we think, and how they can become our greatest source of strength.
Through this vulnerable sharing, you'll gain insights into:
This experience became the catalyst for my devotional "Courage to Believe: 21 Day Devotional for Single Moms". This is a resource born from the realization that grace meets us exactly where we are, even in our messiest moments.
Whether you're freshly divorced, widowed, or simply raising children while feeling utterly alone, this story serves as a reminder that you're not walking this path by yourself. Your current chapter doesn't define your entire story.
Sometimes the very experiences that break us open are the ones that prepare us to pour hope into others.
If you've ever felt like you're barely keeping your head above water, or if you're ready to stop repeating old patterns and start writing a new story, this episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for the road ahead.
