OK! This is a hard post for me as I have to tell you that my husband is leaving again tomorrow for another deployment after just getting home from the last one just six months ago. I know that there are lots of other Army wives who deal with this all of the time. This being the third deployment you think I would know how to, but, guess what, I DON'T!!!! Usually we have a few months to digest the fact that Joe would be leaving but in this case we have only had about 2 weeks. So, hence the Tears of Frustration. So, I guess I am asking you to pray for all of us and we deal with once again being separated for a lot of those special days that were missed last year, like my birthday, Isaac's bday and death anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Nathan's 1st birthday(which Joe missed his birth too!). Lord willing, I will get over my frustration and continue to know that God's grace is sufficient for me and His strength will be ever present. Even as a Christian sometimes it is hard for me not to focus on the circumstances and keep my eyes on things above as they are suppose to be. I guess I am only human and still have that sinful nature to be this way. We love all of you and thank you for always keeping us in your prayers. May God Bless all of you!!

I will pray with you Lori over the next 4 months. I can't even pretend to understand the frustration you must be feeling - along with a myrid of other not so great feelings and thoughts! REST in God's understanding - you are not alone - Psalm 139 "You have searched me and known me...you understand my thought afar off...How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God...Try me, and know my anxieties...Psalm 142 I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication. I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path...

Thanks for your wonderful encouragement and I know that you are praying for all of us and it is so appreciated. I know that God is in control of all of this and I am resting in that fact. My frustration will fade after of few days of getting use to Joe being gone, not that you get use to it. Love you my friend and appreciate you so much.
