My mind has been going nuts lately. There are a lot of things going on right now. I am about to go on my first mission trip in a few weeks. I am very excited but anxious at the same time. It is going to be quite an adventure. I know there will be things that I will not like and things that will not be so appealing. I also know that God is going to show me things that I could never imagine. I know we will be a blessing to those we are going to help but I also know God has blessing for those sent. I am excited to see what happens.
On another note, my husband is leaving at the end of July to start his Active Duty career in the Army. This is going to be a big change for our family. We have lived in the Spartanburg area for the past 6 1/2 years. Neither my husband or I stayed in one place for very long so this new adventure will fit right into our "Adapt and Overcome" motto. He will be gone for about six months. We have been through one deployment that lasted longer but that doesn't necessarily mean that this will be easier. I think it will just be different.
I have also noticed how this is affecting our extended family members. Most are supportive in that "We Love you no matter what, and the We will pray for you." Don't get me wrong I am a firm believer in prayer. I just think some people tend to use it more as a cliche like they know it is a good thing to say in a situation where you don't know what to say. I love my family and am very blessed to have them. I have also noticed the walls going up on both sides so we don't get hurt when we have to leave. I think this is somewhat normal but I also think we could have so much more quality time together if we would realize it is coming but we are not gone yet. Sometimes it is easier said then done but I think it will really help our relationships in the long run.
Well my mind has plenty more that can be written down but I think this is good for now.
