So, keep your head to the sky and know that everything is going to be all right.

Your Superwoman Stories
I am a 33 Year old single mother of four who has survived a brutal attack with a hammer that resulted in 232 staples in my head, limited use of my right hand, a grateful servant to The Lord Jesus Christ, a full time student . And am striving everyday to become a better woman, mother, someday wife, and ambassador of Christ. I have endured many abusive relationships, and several kinds of abuse. But in the end has made me a stronger and more diligent person. Thanks to God Almighty!!!

My name is Jodine and I am 28 years old. At times I to, feel like a superwoman. I have recently become a single mother of 5 year old twins. My husband and I split due to his drug addictions. I have been faced with many challenges that to some would have knocked them down, but to me it has been pure motivation. It is important to me to provide my children with the best future possible. So in order to do so I have decided to go back to school so that I can achieve my bachelor's in Business Management, while working full time and raising my two beautiful daughters on my own. I now know that anything is possible as long as I believe in myself and I refuse to give up. Life is a journey and I have learned throughout all my heart break that a positive mind-set can bring light to even your darkest hour.

i'm a 26yr. old women with six kids. I live in Altus, OK. Im struggling with my husband for 6 yrs. I only make enough money to pay bills and maybe go out to eat only once every payday. my kids are my life and I will do anything for them. There are times that I want to do is fall down and just cry because every time I think its going to get easier and things are going the right way, Everything goes in the drain. We have to start all over. I had worked two lobs to pay our bills. then I started to have these attacks. Im too young to have to take pills everyday. but I got laid off my job cause my boss said I was undependable and to take it easy and get rest. Then when I was going back to work she didnt want to put me back on the schedule. I ended up quitting. I had the other job but it didnt pay as much. We are finally getting back on our feet. Then we are going to marriage counseling. I feel like giving up everyday. When I listen to your music it makes me feel like im that superwomen. To

I am a 27-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for the last 5 years. I recently filed for divorce due to a violent relationship. I also recently moved into my own apartment. I am a student and this is my last year! I am also a medical assistant, literary magazine designer, and I work part-time in IT Support at my school. Between many counseling sessions, violence at home, school, work, and having an illness, it's a wonder I'm still standing! But here I am single and on my own two feet for the first time in my life! Go me! It took me many years to realize my worth and I've always been inspired by great music and other people's stories. I hope mine inspires all of you as well!

I am a 35 year old mother of 3 chilrend with one more on the way. I had a fantastic career that I gave up to join my Italian husband in Italy...now that I'm here, he has moved in with his parents, had me removed from our apartment since it was in his name, filed for divorce, told me we're incompatible because I don't speak Italian very well (we've onloy been here for 3 months) and scheduled me an appointment for an abortion which I don't even want to have. I lived happily in the United States with his man for years, but now that we're in his country, he's a completely different man who just decided he no longer wants to have a family...I heard the lyrics to this song and cried all of my hurt out--I know that my story is only 1 of many and I AM and WILL BE A SUPERWOMAN! I am going to stay in this country somehow until our divorce is final and then I'm going to raise all of my children by myself, to the best of my ability. Keep fighting superwomen/better days will come.
