4 weeks and counting...

Wow... 4 weeks and my husband will be back from deployment. This is my first deployment of many and let me say, it has been one emotional roller coaster. I can see the light at the end now, so I know i have made it. While in the midst of all this time has seemed to stop. But looking back to saying goodbye time has really moved. I have learned a lot about my husband through all of this, and most important about myself. I have learned how strong I really am. I know that I can make it through the toughest seasons in my life and still come out with a smile.These last few weeks have been the hardest. I have been going from friends house to friends house. I am so thankful for them, but really looking forward to a place of my own! I believe escrow closes on our home Nov 24. So I will be at ease when I have those keys in my hand. It will be such a mix of emotions as everything is coming down to the wire... ahhh....  love my life and my husband. I wouldnt change it for anything!

Well... 1 year has passed

Hmmm... where to start. I guess I will sum up my experience with YWAM. This was a very trying time in my life, marriage and just a season God was teaching me to depend on Him. I had such am amazing time with my new found faith that was stronger than ever and living my life with my new family. Annie, Alex, Reanna,Katie and the Tores family really became family to me the 3 months I was there. I had some personal reasons on why I left the trip early, but I know it was the best  decision for my husband and I. I still pray for those who are there and are still being his hands and voice, I pray for those who came home and still follow the lessons learned and for those who have fallen off his path but are trying to find their way. I pray for each and everyone of you! I thank you for what you thought me and know youll all be in my heart!

 After the month I came home (back to SD) I packed up all my stuff and drove cross country to Florida where I now call home with my husband. We are going to be stationed there for about 3 years. This has been a hard transition for me and I know that God is always here for me, but a lot of the time it hard to feel Him. I suppose its because I dont allow enough quiet time...

My husband left for deployment May 31, 20010 and it had been so hard on me I miss him so much. My heart is just so sad while he has been gone, and to be honest sometime life just sucks. I dont know why I believe the lies being fed, but sometimes it hard to see and understand Gods plan in all of this. I cherish our memories of our "honeymoon" ( first family vacation) and the love i have for him in my heart till he gets home. We just hit the halfway mark so just about 90 more days and my love will be home.
