It's The Beginning: Deployment

Deployment update:

I've been busy, no lie.  This season in my life will just be this way, I'm okay with it, I accept it, I'll not fight it.  Sometimes intentionally busy, to keep the time moving forward.

We are no longer in the pre-deployment stage.  The mister has now been dispatched, all visits have been made, all plans have been put in place.  I'm now a "single" mom and the mister is now without his family.  It's a big pill to swallow.  However, God is bigger than this situation. 

The girls are responding well to Mr. Hagge being gone.  It was tough in the very beginning, but they've settled down.  There is still the "I miss Daddy" everyday, but it's with less tears. 


God:

Is amazing, sustaining, faithful, constant, challenging.....

Speaking of challenging, I've been thinking a lot about where I want to be in 5 years.  No lie, 10 years ago, I wanted to be a little further than where I am in my knowledge of God and the Bible, okay, okay, a lot further.  You know what, the blame lies with no one, but myself.  If all those hours spent watching TV alone went to studying the word, wow, I just don't even know.  So, I find myself talking to God, hearing Him ask me to devote myself more to Him.  Devotion, now ain't (my southern side speaking) that a strong word... love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for God, His activity, His cause.  Now that's something to ponder.  What am I really devoted too?  TV?  Business?  Sleep? Food?  I can't say that I have been entirely devoted to God.  When this world takes away our Bibles, our churches, our music...will it be planted in your mind and heart because of your devotion to Him?  Will it be planted in my heart and mind?  Whew!  I need to get to work.  It's a wake up call.  I'm awake. 

That's what's on my heart today.  I hope I've been worthy of your time. 

Thanks for stopping by!
