This morning in my quiet time, I came across a passage of scripture. I want to share it with you in the Message version. “Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time—pray that our God will make you fit for what he’s called you to be, …

God’s protection and storms of life
Last week, Emily and I visited some friends in Delaware. On the way home on Tuesday, we decided to stop in Washington D.C. so I could show her a few of the monuments. We weren’t going to stay long because we needed to get home, but thought it would be a fun preview of a …
Take that, Murphy!
When Hubby was in AIT one of our vehicles had a flat tire, and I tried to change it myself. I failed miserably. When he was at JRTC, Murphy (of Murphy’s Law) tried messing with our truck, but HE failed. I can only chalk that one up to a true miracle. Now that Hubby is deployed, Murphy …
One year ago – how we’ve changed
A year ago yesterday Hubby left on a bus after a very un-romantic goodbye for his first day back in the Army after being out for 13 years. That day, and all the days that have followed, have changed our lives and definitely for the better. My Husband I’ve seen my husband grow and transform back into …
Real feelings
I need to just be real today. This past week has been hard for me. Not hard in the grand scheme of life, but harder than before. I miss my husband so much it hurts. From the time we found out about the deployment up until several weeks after he left, I have been fine. …
The military does not cause poverty
This may not be a popular post, but I feel like writing it, so bear with me while I express my opinion. A while back I saw a petition going around for people to sign trying to get free internet for deployed soldiers. As people sign, they can also leave a comment. I had trouble …
4th of July at Fort Bragg
Yesterday, Emily and I went to the 4th of July celebration on post. It was one HOT, crazy day! I was able to reserve a spot ahead of time by paying $25 for a 10×10 foot space with a canopy tent already set up for me. SO glad I did – totally worth it! If …
Strong Bonds Retreat at Myrtle Beach
Emily and I had the privilege this past weekend of attending a retreat in Myrtle Beach! It was so fun! It was sponsored by the Army Chaplains and this one was for the spouses and kids of the deployed soldiers in our brigade. They paid for the hotel, and most of the meals were provided …
Patience & Trust
There are many, many verses in the Bible about being patient and waiting. “Love is patient” (1 Cor 13:4) “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” (Rom 12:12) “For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? …
Deployment Week 3
It’s been just over 3 weeks now, so how are we doing? I’ll tell you! I hesitate to say it’s going well, because I don’t want anyone to think I don’t miss my hubby. I do. A LOT. At the same time, I’m getting to talk to him almost daily, and I just have to …
