You have heard me talk (or on some days complain) about my hectic schedule with work, the kids, and my class I am taking right now. I have written about what my days are like and how little sleep I get. Deep inside, I know it means something and I know there is a reason that I am doing what I am doing. On days like today, however, I am so exhausted and frustrated that I lose sight of why I am putting myself through all of this. It is these kind of days that I get random texts, calls, or emails from my family, friends, and husband. They always try to encourage me.
Today, for example, my best friend, who is a very busy person herself, sent me a text out of nowhere and told me how proud she was of me and how she knew I could do this and do it well. She told me that what I am doing is important and that it will be done before I know it. It was unexpected and yet just what I needed at that time. My parents and various other friends have given me many words of encouragement like this, too. My husband tells me all the time that he is proud of what I am doing and that he supports me, even from halfway across the world. Deep down, I know I am a pretty strong woman, but I also know that without God and the support from my friends (some of which I have never "met" face to face), my family, and especially my husband, I would not be strong enough for this. Their encouragement helps push me through this, through not only this class, but also through this deployment.
Another day is done! I am getting closer to R&R and when that day is finally here, this woman is going to be the happiest woman in the world!
