1 Kings 19 When a king is gone, does he need to be replaced? Yes. When a priest is gone, does he need to be replaced? Yes. When a prophet is gone, does he need to be replaced? Yes. Elisha was not clergy. He was a farmer, a worker. And he did not work for his own. He worked for his father. He honoured his own father. Sometimes the road to be a prophet is not by going to Bible School. You can be working in the world when you are called. But remain faithful. Even to your own parents until the day you are called to be a prophet under training.
Lack of sleep can turn any nice person into a monster. Also, no expectations means no disappointment. I just do it the easy way -- I co-sleep. Also, I imagine I am a single mom and have to do everything myself. I tell myself all the time: if a single mom can do it, so can I. I am not in any way less capable than a single mother just because I have a man by my side. If he wants to help me, that's a plus but I am tired of demanding for his help and tired of being disappointed if he doesn't live up to it. The difference between me and a single mom is that when things go south, there's still someone around I can call upon for help -- I still have a hero around to save the day.
