Personal

“Many people ask me how it feels to be the wife of a soldier?" I can sum it all up by saying it is "PERSONAL" It is "OUR" story, it is "OUR" life, it is "OUR" Sacrifice, it is "OUR" lost time...This deployment is directly pulling at who and what we were, who we are today and what we will become. For Jeremy he is stuck in survival mode, just getting through each day is a scary, almost uncontainable. The only outlet of compassion is me, the only place to vent is in my ear... Sometimes a punching bag is what I become. I can honestly say this has pushed my limits, and I bring you to 1 month 3 days. Personal... In 1 month 3 days I have learned that living out our vows, is overwhelming, important, and real. For Jeremy it is physically and emotionally, and for me it is psychologically and emotionally. In all times good and bad he is my husband and I am his wife, his job is to survive the fight and get back to us... My job is to survive and be ready for his return. Holding down the home front is a struggle all of it's own, learning to do things alone is a task that I honestly figured would be easy. Yea, not so much...We have to hold our marriage together even at a distance and still figure out how to be together even when we are apart. Rough...We have to stay true to each other even though we are going through this long, very long separation,living two different lives as one. This is our story, our history, our legacy...

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. — Psalm 103:8


I want compassion, I want to be gracious, I wish I was slow to anger, and I want the love for my husband and kids that is so abounding that I can't contain it. PERSONAL.... Bookmarked <3
