I am excited to tell you about this new bible study I am in that one of my friends here is leading. Our first meeting was on Tuesday, and it was so honest, encouraging, and insightful. I am excited to go back again next week!
We talked about how army wives tend to become a little hardened as we "roll with the punches." I cannot tell you how many times I've heard the sayings: "yeah...welcome to the army," "soldier on," "you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it," and "army strong." We start to take pride in being able to handle everything on our own and don't ask for help from anyone, including the greatest Counselor and Savior.
Thinking about this got this old hymn stuck in my head. I so enjoy this rendition by Bart Millard.
I am trying to remind myself that Jesus delights in being my friend and helping me. He wants me to depend on Him, so I do not need to be prideful and say, "don't worry, God, I got this." Ever notice that usually after someone says they "got this under control" something terrible happens? In our house it usually means there is about to be a huge mess in the kitchen, haha!
Just a little reminder, for you and me, that we don't have to do life alone. :)
Love you! So happy for you. This sounds great! Luke and I have been meeting with our officiant, and it has been great actually talking about our relationship with both each other and with God. It's something we've never really talked about together. I will say that hearing you talk about how strong you and Jake are in your faith has definitely motivated us. :)
