Sometimes you just have to wonder if God knows what He is doing. Stuck in limbo, what is a person to do? Waiting for a loved one to deploy is never an easy thing but not knowing when that will be is even tougher. Waiting from one day to the next to hear whether or not a flight was found or a date was set is beyond frustrating. It is heartbreaking to see my husband going through the stress of the waiting. The soldiers are ready to get this thing started and then, at the last minute, they are put on hold. We are ALL ready to start the countdown to the return date but we can't because they haven't left! Now don't misunderstand me...I do NOT want my husband to go over there but I know he has to and the sooner the better. Trusting in the fact that God does know what He is doing is all that is keeping my brain inside my head. I have to trust in Him and in Him alone.
On top of my own heartache I am hurting for my daughter as well. Her boyfriend is set to deploy soon as well. I have to say good-bye to my husband but she has to say good-bye to her Daddy and the man that God has put in her life for her to love. Being a military wife/daughter/girlfriend/whatever is NOT easy but it is honorable. Our loved ones serve our country in a way that is seen by many. We serve our country in a way that most people never see. We are the ones that keep the homefires burning. We are the ones that keep our families together. We are the one expected to keep hope alive. We are the 'hidden' support. We cannot do this without our own friends and families to support us. Please remember us in your thoughts and prayers. Not only are we serving God and country...but we are also serving YOU.
Oh, and in case you are wondering...I do KNOW that God KNOWS what He is doing.
