The Red Cross will not send my husband home, but his command on the naval base will. James will be taking commercial flights from half way around the world on someone else's dime to be with me during this time. Praise God. It feels so good knowing someone in the Navy has me in their corner. So often it feels like they treat dependents like burdens. For once I feel like I am valued by them. I will see my husband either Sunday night or Monday. I guess that means I better clean the house. :) I have no idea if they are going to send him back, but I am taking it one day at a time, and any time with my sweetie is better than no time at all.
This morning in the shower I thought: Things always work out in our favor. We just don't immediately recognize what that favor will look like.
We often want things right away, but more often than not, more goes on than we can see and understand that needs to happen in order for us to get what we want or need. As long as we have the love and support of others, we can be patient knowing that good things will come. So dance in the storm, and wait for your rainbow. It's brilliance will shine when you aren't even looking for it anymore. How great is the God that provides the trials that leads us to be closer to Him, while offering up the loving kindness of my family at iChange.com I could not be more blessed.
