Today was a typical Sunday. I went to church and after church took the kids to lunch. It was a good time and we even saw a member of our church there and had a mini get-together. After we got home, we relaxed a little bit and then went to see the lights at BLORA with my awesome friends, Lyssa and Nathan, and their kids. We all piled in the car and the kids had a blast looking at the lights. We got home later than expected and I got the kids to bed as soon as possible.
Today at church, I was telling my best friend here about the news of my job being extended. As I was telling her, she asked when I found out and the answer was Tuesday. I told her that the principal found out Friday about my job but hadn't had a chance to talk to me until Tuesday. As I was telling her this, I realized it was God's way of dealing with me. I am a worrier by nature and have tried many times to let things go. I suck at it. As I was worrying last week about the fate of my job, Ian kept telling me to give it to God. Over the weekend, I struggled with it, and had not truly let it go. Monday night, I finally let it go. I decided that whatever happened, it would all be okay. It would be part of a plan that I have no idea about. Then, after fully giving it to God and accepting whatever happened, that next day I got the news about my job being extended. It was a sweet realization I had right there with my friend and it made me grateful for the anxious times of waiting. It helped me realize that things will work out as they are meant to and I have to just remain faithful.
So, here I am. I am remaining faithful that God will get my family and me through this. I am remaining faithful to the strength of my marriage and the love my husband and I share. Faith is the rock of my life and the thing that will get me through this deployment. Faith in God and in all He can do.
