Well...in conversation with Sean's wife, I find out that the weeks I thought we had with Dee, between the Louisiana 3 wks and the Savannah 6 wks....well....not happening! As usual, the Army has changed things! So he will come home Friday night, February 27th, he'll have to work on the base Saturday, 28th, then he will have Sunday off. Then they leave March 2nd for Savannah. That leaves us two weeks in April before he deploys.
I truly don't think I can do this. I don't have the physical strength to keep up with two kids, homeschool, household chores, finances, and trying to work part time....by myself for 15 months.....and all while trying to deal with my fibro, my stomach problems and my back problems. How will I cut the grass? How will I sleep? How will I be able to do all the things that Dee helps me do?

ReplyDeleteHey Lori. My heart just breaks for you in reading this entry. I know for sure I could never do what you are doing. I need my husband home at night...EVERY night. It just grounds me.
I am praying for you that the Lord provides for you a system of support greater than you have known. I am praying that you will be able to graciously accept the help (you may or may not feel) you need. I am also praying that you feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and the love of God, a Friend who sticks closer than a brother, while Dee is away.
You guys' sacrifice for this country is greater than anyone outside of the military can possibly comprehend. Thank you both for all that you do for our freedoms!
Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI am just now seeing this comment. Sorry. I haven't quite learned how to do this BLOG thing. So now I know and will watch for more entries. It's always nice to see a comment.
Some days I do feel stronger than others. The real challenge is when April 23rd gets here and the upcoming year. It breaks my heart to hear Jolie tell her friends....my daddy is leaving and won't be home until I'm almost 7. (She is 5 1/2 now) And to hear Jessie say, "Daddy is going to miss my special 13th birthday..when I become a teenager." But God is my strength and I know I can do all things through HIM. I have an amazing Sunday School class full of caring ladies. I just love them. My Mom and Dad and Dee's Mom live 5 miles from us. I have alot of support...it's just not the same as having your husband by your side every night. That's a hole only Jesus can fill...so keep praying.
Love,
Lori
