the time has come ...
tonight after the kids say goodbye and goodnight
to their dad
i will drive him to Davenport
and
this whole deployment cloud that we have been living
under since last year will finally ...
be moving along
we have had this whole last week together ...
playing, doing family things, laughing, crying
and now ...
well we both agree
now it is just time... and we are *gulp* ready
we have had our talks with the kids...
i have been instructed on how to manage the bills...
we have our skype ready
let it begin ...
but my heart ... well now my heart that is awhole other thing
my heart aches already
i will miss my best friend
i will miss getting lost in his arms
i will miss him walking through the door
i will just simply ... miss him
but
i know this ...
it is what it is and today... i am choosing to TRUST
choosing to OBEY
choosing to keep running forward in FAITH
without knowing ...
I TRUST
one day at a time
yes
one day at a time
Joshua 1:19
have i not commanded you ...
be courageous... do not be terrified ... do not be discouraged
for the Lord you God will be with you
wherever you go!
yes ... my soul finds rest in God alone ... Psalm 62:1
