Single Motherhood

I am married to a great man. Truly he is, but it's that time of year again, it's summer. And for many of us in the mid-west (especially farm wives) that means long long hours of work and no daddies to be found. It's time again for single motherhood. I have to admit I was pretty familiar with camping ministry before we were married and started our life working on camp. But I seemed to miss the part where you become a single mom over night. It's like whammo, you are now the sole parent in your home. Sure we still see Big, from a distance, but to actually have him around to help disciple (which is desperately needed in our home right now) Ha! You might as well wish for diamonds to rain from the sky. I know he needs to work that that God has called us to be here, in this place doing His work, but it's days like today that I morn this time of year, when all I can wish for is the calm of winter and to have Big home, at least for a few hours a day anyways. I simply cannot fathom how any single parent manages the storms that come along. Kudos to you! As for me, I think I will take a nap. After potty training, and tantrums, I'm ready for a break.
