Welcome back to the Motherhood series, join us each week as we take you through our vast range of scenarios to provide you with encouragement, inspiration and a few laughs. Motherhood may seem like a passive job to some, or an inconvenience to others, but to us, motherhood is more than meets the eye.

On July 11, 2012 I wrote the following in my journal (four months after arriving in my new home):
Oh how I long for friends, but fear being vulnerable. Having a toddler certainly makes it harder to meet people and develop relationships. Of course, I have no regrets about being a stay at home mom, nor do I harbor an ounce of bitterness toward my baby, because being a mom is one of my greatest joys. It is a gift and a blessing! Yet, I long for friendships. I’m lonely. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. ~Romans 5:6 Pull me out of my fatness and need for comfort and ease. Give me eyes to see Your will.
I was so tired of waiting for 5 o’clock to get here so I’d have another adult to talk to. I was so tired of wondering if we’d ever have friends. I was so tired of going to the park by myself. I was so tired of waiting on the Lord to supply friendships and fellowship in one of the most un-churched towns in Colorado. I was so tired and so lonely. How does a lonely stay at home mom without community do it?
