Expressions of Sacrifices: A Single Mother's Journal

By Mz. G

This book is a collection of poems that express that emotions I had while making the sacrifices to be a mother to my children. It was never a struggle to be a mother to my children. Not to say that I did not struggle while I was raising them. I wrote this journal of poems to encourage and inspire others going through the struggle of emotions and the events of life, actually as I ministered to my own events of life. Of course, it is relative to mostly women, single mothers, mothers of teens, women trying to find their way and place in relationships. Writing is and was my therapy. I hope and pray that it will provoke healing, laughter and strength and that it will be relative to the readers that are looking for that spoken word to take you through.

My name is Gwendolyn Dorsey-Bryant; most people call me Mz. Gwen or Mz.G. I ended my teenaged years abruptly by allowing myself to get pregnant and then marrying the father. I spent over thirty years married to him. Why? I am glad you asked. Because I was committed to the principle of being married and because I was raised by parents and blessed to be in a family that had longevity in marriage. So I was not “experienced” in the psychology of broken relationships. Over the years and through pleasant and unpleasant events, I learned how to become a woman of integrity, how to overcome hurt, how to laugh when there was no laughter in me, how to sacrifice myself, my emotions, my pain, my smiles, and my frowns for the sake of covering my children and making them feel the safety I felt from my parents. That is where I got the strength to share with others how to leave the pain in the rearview mirror and move on. My heart goes out to anyone, especially women, when I see them unable to get past the hurt. God was always consistently faithful to me, even when I failed to be consistent in my faithfulness to Him. After the pain, I was blessed to be given the gift of a loving husband who has the revelation of what God expects of him. He is my provider, protector, priest, and prophet. God restored my belief in the institution that he created, marriage. I pray that the words of these writings find each reader peace, comfort, and even strength. I appreciate my struggles more now that I can share my testimonies of success.
