Prayer

So, DH left last night for his 7 months deployment. I don't know what I'm feeling...lost, sad etc etc etc...who knows. BUT, I think this parting was much better than the '07 deployment. We, DH & I, did much better.

Children are doing exceptional well. DD Bri and DS Peyton did asked/said "Where's Daddy" "I miss my Daddy"...=(

Not much going on today...trying to keep my mind busy...it's crazy *in* there...sighsss...

I leave with this prayer. My good friend/adopted-stepmom (lol) Pat gave this when DH was deployed in '07.

Dear Lord,

Give me the greatness of heart to see
the difference between duty
and his love for me & our children.

Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he is away.

When he is in a foreign land,
keep him safe in your loving hand.

And, when duty is in the field,
please protect him and be his shield.

And Lord, when deployment is so long,
please stay with me and keep me strong.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!

As I worrying myself ever since I know where he's going, DH just informed/called me that he's not going to the initial country that he was supposed to go. Yay!! Not that the new destination is much safe but it's much better than the initial one....phewwww...I'm relieved.... but still sad...Who says separation is easy...pfffft!...
