I totally agree with you on the helpmate front... and I think you are making the most out the of situation... honoring God before all else. THere is no fault in that!<br /><br />For you to think you are not AMAZING just because you sometimes feel like you need help is silly!! Aren't the most amazing people the ones who accept their limitations and the seek help and support?? <br /><br />You ARE AWESOME. You are making good choices and doing whats best for your kids. WEll done!<br /><br />God bless-<br />AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810046131669131958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15740379.post-17449540774713764452009-05-22T00:32:55.398-05:002009-05-22T00:32:55.398-05:00((Christy))) I can't say for sure that I prayed fo...((Christy))) I can't say for sure that I prayed for you/Chad every day of his deployment but it was probably at least 85% of the time, maybe more, maybe less. I think we need to give the praise and glory to the Lord for being with you/Chad during this time. I specifically remember praying for a specific thing for you/Chad and seeing that that particular prayer was answered in something you wrote in your journal so I'm giving the glory and the honor to Him for carrying you through this deployment. THANK YOU LORD!<br /><br />has it been easy??? by no means no. Did you do what you had to do when you had to do it? Yes. Did you do it the best you could? Yes, you tried even though it was overwhelming and tough and so very hard, but you tried to stay the course. You tried to hold it together, to raise your kids without your help mate there walking beside you, you tried to educate them and teach them about Jesus and feed them,clothe them, clean up after them, love them etc and you kept after it day after day after day knowing there was no end in sight. And even though there is only 6 weeks left, it is still 6 weeks, 42 days, give or take, those many hours, those many minutes, etc. each one will be hard, but I know the Lord is right there with you, walking hand in hand with you and when you are weak, when you can't go on, that's when he is carrying you lovingly on his shoulders like the Good Shepherd that he is and you are his little lamb. <br /><br />I think it is neat you have things planned in the days ahead to help count down the days. They sound like fun adventures too! I'm sure they will be enjoyed by you and the kids!<br /><br />(((((Christy)))))<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15740379.post-709866154783036722009-05-21T20:44:50.875-05:002009-05-21T20:44:50.875-05:00I can't imagine how hard the next 6 weeks will be....I can't imagine how hard the next 6 weeks will be.
