The Single Mom Life

What:

I am not married, nor do I have children.  But I do have a lot of cousins that are younger than me who've always felt more like nieces and nephews to me.  So naturally when their mom goes out of town she asks me if I can take care of them.  There are only three of them but if eel like it still is crazy how much there is to do.  Soccer games, practice, even just meal times all seem to add up.  I had another chance to watch them this weekend and I couldn't believe how crazy busy it was.  I was running to and from, forgetting one kid in one place, trying to get the other to the next thing.  Quite honestly, I couldn't do it myself, but with the help of some of my friends and family we made ends meet.  So I guess what I learned is that moms, and specifically single moms, must have a diving gift bestowed upon them with motherhood.

So What:

I think that this is important for me to learn because it honestly sometimes makes me scared for motherhood.  I can barely juggle my own balls, much less the rest of my family's stuff.  But somehow God helps them out.  Whether it be through photographic memory of where cleats are, or by sending angels to help you get someone to their game on time, he helps them out.

Now What:

I guess I need to calm my fear of not being adequate enough for motherhood, whenever that point of my life comes.  And I need to be more aware of the single mom's out there working hard and performing miracles everyday.
