Last week Peter went to Camp Mimi from Saturday to Saturday while Paul and I were at Youth Camp from Monday to Friday. Last summer we left him for four days while we went to a wedding. But this is only the second time we have left him for more than overnight. When we dropped him off Saturday I cried and cried. I'm sure the other moms out there know how I feel. I tried to explain it to Paul but I don't think I did a very good job. Right now, Peter is my job. My days are consumed by what he eats, when he sleeps, what he is doing. It was like I left a piece of me behind when I left him. Paul did a good job of keeping me busy that day so I could kind of get over it. Now don't get me wrong, I missed him so much that week. But I had an amazing time at camp! I'm a mom. It's what I do and it's who I am. And I love it. But for those five days of camp I was just a follower of Jesus. I could worship and fellowship undistracted. And Peter seemed to have an amazing time. Mommas, if you have a chance, I highly recommend it!!
