Only a couple more months and my husband will be home. I don't think people really grasp what it is like to be a military wife with a husband who is deployed overseas. There is so much heart ache, and so much longing for them. I have heard a lot from other people that they don't know how its done. They don't know how I could do it with 2 kids...being away from him for so long. Knowing where he is and what kinds of things he is having to do. There is only one word that comes to mind...LOVE. When you love someone more than words could ever explain, then the distance isn't anything. It is vaguely a speck in time compared to the lifetime that we have to spend with each other. I would do anything for my husband. I would die for him. I support him in all that he does, and if that means that I have to be away from him for a year, then so be it. He is doing what he has wanted to do, and has trained to do. So I will stick by his side while he is away, and when he comes back. And for all time. Distance cant shake the bond that God creates between a man and a woman. I think about him everyday. I do what I do for him. Sometimes I cry...ok I cry a lot because I DO long for him to be right next to me as I lay down in my bed. But I know that God has a plan...and it is a perfect plan. As horrible as the place that my husband is in, I can go to bed at night and know that all will be ok no matter what happens...because of His perfect will. True I can sit around and worry about what is happening right at this moment. but what good would that do me? Doesn't the Lord want us to trust in Him no matter what that means? No matter what that means we have to go through? Yes...He does. No I am not perfect and I do worry sometimes...I am only human. But how can I live if all I do is worry about what is going to happen next.
Love conquers all. The Lord loves us. I love the Lord. And I love my husband. I love him more than words could ever explain.
