I'm heading into week 4. The 3 H girls are doing really good. Adjusting to having Mr. H gone has not been the most easy thing. It's been a true challenge to really rely and trust that when God said we can have a peace that surpasses all understanding that He wasn't joking. When I have a tough day I repeat that scripture to myself until I rest in that peace. I don't have to be upset everyday, I don't have to be mopey, or pout all the time. Yes, I feel like I'm missing a limb. Yes, I wish that everything in the house didn't decide to break all at once while I'm playing husband and daddy too, but I must say I rather enjoyed being able to tackle installing a ceiling fan on my own. Lemons into lemonade! (Which reminds me of a sermon/book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson, great read!) My Bugsy decided to dump water all over the kitchen floor, so, I decided it was a good time to mop. Haha! Do I break down here and there? Sure! But, I'm not staying down. I'm going to get up. I'm determined to look back on this time and be proud of how we pulled through this and all we were able to accomplish. I will control my emotions, they will not control me.
My point is this, you can be in tough situations and pull through them with dignity, overcoming, winning.
On another note, I do get to see Mr. H one last time within the next month before we go through the very long stretch of separation. I am anxious to see him, but also not looking forward to the next separation. Stretching my ability to rely on God will be a complete understatement in the months to come, but I will give it my very best, I promise.
Coming up!!!!! I have 2 posts in the works. One of them is a little crafty post. Nothing fancy, but practical money saving idea. Keep checking in!
Until next time
