Patience

Usually, I am a very patient person. Lately, my patience is starting to wear very thin. Justin's job is always in the front of my mind because I know he is very unhappy and all I want is for him to be happy. I keep praying for patience and I know that God is always there for me and won't put us through anything that we won't be able to handle, as long as we depend on Him. It's just so sad to me that grown men get a kick out of making fun of people just to see how weak they are. I do have to say that I am so proud of my husband for not stooping to their level and if it does get to him, then he's good at not showing it.

It's such and exciting/nerve wracking time not knowing where we are going to be or what we are going to be doing in the next year. As soon as Justin signs papers, we go where the army tells us to go. The good thing about it is he is going active which means where he goes, I go. It'll be an adventure and at first I was scared, but now I am kind of excited. I will be without him for 10-22 weeks depending on the occupation he decides to do. He is leaning toward MP(Military Police) or Firefighter. The training including basic training for MP is 19 weeks and 22 weeks for Firefighter. Woo...but they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. We are hoping they need one of those in Southern California or Arizona for the warm weather! How awesome would that be. When I think about it, it kind of makes me sad that I will be leaving this place that I have been for 10 years...but then I think about how Justin will get 30 days of vacation a year...and we will come back and visit since this is where our families and friends are.

Some verses for thought today are Joshua 1:5 and Romans 8:27-28. They got me through the day yesterday.

Thanks for reading!
