I mentioned in my last post about waking up each morning with Grace as I tackle single mommyhood. I regret saying that and feel like I should clarify. I know I’m not a single mama. Those women are some of the strongest, most humble, self-sacrificing people I know. In fact, I’d rather go up against Mike Tyson than a single mama in a fight because single mamas are incredibly strong and have learned how to fight for themselves and their family when no one else will.

While yes, somedays its tough when I don’t have my partner here to physically share the responsibilities of little Bud and the household with, I know that he is taking care of us in his own ways. He prays for us constantly. He provides for us financially so that I can stay home with Bud. And he is so loyal to us. This isn’t a burden forced onto us, we have also chosen this path and are so honored to be in this position. And most importantly, it’s temporary. He is coming home at the end of the year. I know that those things don’t make me a single mama, just a “temporarilyalonewithmychildgimmesomecandy” kind of mom.

So please take my apology/clarification that I know I’m not a single mama for the next year. I am very blessed to have a husband who will show my boy what its like to pursue a calling no matter how tough and to confidently put his trust in the Lord’s provision not only for his life, but for his family’s.

There, I’ve said my peace. Now, here is my no-make up, early in the morning apology face. I mean…. how can you not forgive a face like that?
