reality

A couple of soldiers in my husband's company were injured the other day. One of them is in critical condition, but has been listed as stable. It's been a harsh reminder to many of us of where our husbands are. For those of us who are not new to deployments and the military, this deployment felt like not that big of a deal. We're nearing the end of time in Iraq, and the location that they were being sent to was supposed to peaceful. I realize that for many of the newbies, it was a big dramatic deal. But for the rest of us, we weren't afraid of our husbands getting hurt or killed. Well...now that's changed. All of a sudden the fears of where my lobster is at are settling in. He isn't in a safe place. I am sad. Of course, I am 100% thankful that I have a God that will take care of my husband and us, but it's hard not to feel sad. I find so much peace and comfort in that my husband is in the Lord's hands. Where else can we turn to for strength and comfort, but our God? I am so grateful that He holds us in His hands.
