You guys…this has been the LONGEST week ever!
Which makes sense because it has also been one of the longest months I’ve experienced.
In the last month, I have struggled with seeing a purpose in…well, really in anything.
I had a minor surgery and was so thankful for Keith’s mom coming to help out for a week.
Getting over that hurdle was a big relief and now I feel like I’m finally coming back up for air, or seeing the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
Keith will be home on leave to visit for two weeks tomorrow and I CANNOT wait to see him! I cannot wait for my kids to have their Daddy home with them.
And that’s why this week has been d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g by so SLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLYYYYYY!
There have been so many moments this week when I find myself looking at the calendar or the clock and wondering why it isn’t Friday yet.
We’ve been counting down the days for a long time now and we’re finally at the just one more day mark. Because of that I’m breathing a little easier today.
Every deployment and every separation is so hard, but I have really struggled with this one. I think I’ve struggled more because I am just. so. tired.
I’m thankful that when I’m not motivated my husband is so faithful in encouraging me….even from such a distance.
I’m just praying that we’ll be able to enjoy every moment we have together over the next two weeks. I’m also praying for rest and renewal to complete the next four months of this separation when he goes back to Korea at the end of the two weeks.
For any of you that are still reading my posts here and have stuck with me over the last month…the last year…and the last many years…THANK YOU!

Oh, love, I’m so, SO GLAD Keith is home for a little! What precious memories you ALL will make. Enjoy every second together!
And you and I should get together again. I, too, have been struggling with finding purpose, especially lately. It seems we’ve been thrown a lot of curve balls over the past couple of years, and it all just keeps building. There are good days and bad; but ultimately, I think that we’re not doing what we feel called to do and don’t know how to be successful at doing such. I feel like the Lord has let me down in more ways than one. I feel forgotten. I feel stuck in a rut. I feel like I just want to run… run away from certain people, run away from all that is comfortable, run away toward what I’d be doing if I didn’t have a family to think about. How does one balance it all?
