Tough Work!

I have recently found comfort in the words I have read on the blogs of other moms. Words of encouragement, wisdom, experience, and just humor. I have also enjoyed keeping up with dear friends by way of the blogoshpere. Having always had a therapuetic enjoyment of writing myself, I figured...why not?!
My first thought for a post is my recent discovery of the major challenges of single parenthood. By God's grace, I am experiencing such challenges only temporarily as Luke trains for his new job with Aldi Foods in the Nashville area. We are about to hit the two month mark on this season of separation, and at times it seems as if it has flown by while other times it feels like forever! Lord willing, we will make it to the six month mark and soon look back on this time as a growing, learning season where God has much work at hand within all of us.
Having a 10 month old son has made this time especially difficult, but visits to see Daddy have made it a little easier. Soon he will come home for a few days, so we are all eagerly anticipated that!
Other unique circumstances have added to the situation recently. Lincoln has developed an infection that won't seem to heal and for some crazy reason we decided to go ahead and take a stab at selling our home. Both of which require extra attention and energy. Needless to say, I am spent! However, I am confident there are joyful things down the road as God prepares us all for the days ahead and with that hope in mind... we press on.
I suppose this is all my very tired brain can come up with at the moment, but I can imagine future postings with include plenty of diversity, emotion, ramblings, and the like. For someone who 9 times out of 10 can't find the car keys in her hand, you'd be surprised at all that wrestles within ;)
