Love God, and do as you please.
-St Augustine
Bowl of peas, glass of wine; commence writing.
How do I distill my life, or a year, or one day into words? At any minute my husband will walk in the door and I can go on to the next thing. Tonight's particular next thing might be watching the premiere of ST:The Next Generation before falling asleep beside him. For the next 16 weeks he is getting his CNC certification on top of providing our living, requiring him to be gone from 7:30am to 11pm five days a week. I can promise you I would never be able to handle being a military wife, and only by the grace of God will I be able to endure these four months. I have tremendous love and respect for my "Bachelor of Arts" whose dream job is jack-of-all-trades! I greatly anticipate both hearing all about his first day of school as we wind down tonight AND the completion of this certification come May! I look forward to what God has to teach me, meanwhile. About lavishing love upon Norah and other friends & family who I can focus on during the week. About stewarding my talents and time. About His character, and becoming more like Him in every way possible.
Above all may I exude thankfulness, for I am very, very blessed.
