Well, we have a new mission. This one includes the family I fear. DH is on "standby" of sorts. I don't really think about it daily but I am reminded in tiny moments that he could be swept away with a phone call.
Our marriage has never been typical. Our home life is always different. I think I resent that at times and other times I relish in it. This mission is no different.
Either way it is reality, and one I cannot change. So I will add this to my list of prayer requests and go on as all good army wives do. Or more importantly I will remain thankful for each moment and not complain about the things I do not have. I will pray for a contented heart and find joy even in my trials.
That is so much easier to type than do.
Kenna!! I kept meaning to ask if you were Sgtzapple, and now I know for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'll put your prayer request on my prayer request list too. There is something about being on standby that is just unsettling.
Kathryn,
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe you didn't know since I rarely use my first name and try to keep family names out of the blog as well. But I do read yours every time you post since I check it in Google reader with the other blogs I read.
I love your pictures.
