I feel for those who have traveling spouses. I appreciate mine all the more since he left yesterday afternoon. I cried like a baby and didn’t want to let him go. I was not looking forward to facing my children alone. . . them against me! My dad flew in today for 8 days. He tries to help, but he still doesn’t replace my husband. We work together as a team, and now that I am the team, I miss my teammate! I lost my self-control as I was getting the kids ready for bed. I use the term self-control rather than patience because that’s the truth of it. I yelled, I angrily and sinfully performed tasks, and I had a rotten attitude. The Holy Spirit brought these verses to my mind, so please pray for me to recall them tomorrow as I face the same trials. Also pray TJ has a safe trip home Friday. Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 places I have been or would like to go. . . 1. Santiago, Chile, South America This was my first trip when I was in the military. It was awesome! 2. Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. Traveled here with the military. I had a great time, although I only stayed for a few nights. It was too cold to swim in the ocean but it was nice to see the beach. 3. Palermo, Sicily, Europe This is my family's roots. My great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Palermo, and it was so awesome to be able to share in my heritage. I traveled here while in the military, and I loved every bit of this country. Mt. Etna is also located in Sicily, and on several occasions (I've been to Sicily several times), Mt. Etna was erupting. It was majestic to see, especially at night. Too many highlights to say what my favorite part of this country was, but the memories I hold will definitely last a lifetime. 4. Rota, Spain, Europe Again, traveled here with the military....
