When I Least Expected It . . . . . . .

It came at a time that I was not expecting it. It came in a way that I was not expecting. Many prayers later and Mr. Awesome came into the picture. It was more than I prayed for and I didn't know how much I needed him until he came. Thank God that he gave me an opportunity to love someone who has such passion, vigor, and great character.

Picture Perfect

I was reflecting the other day about the many blessings in my life and how this picture alone says much about some of these blessings. This picture reveals some of the abundance that God has poured into my life. With all of the beautiful green grass and tress in the background, my loving husband that has always supported me standing beside me, and our bundle of joy that we are in love with, many may assume that things are perfect. Although this picture gleams of that notion, there are some things that are not shown in this photo. Yes the grass and trees are a reflection of the beautiful Spring time, yet someone had to mow and care for it to make this picture colorful. Yes, my wonderful husband is standing beside me supporting me on this joyous occasion, but there have been times that he had to exercise extra patience and love to deal with some of my moodiness. There have been times when my own smile was not there for him because he was testing my patience. Yes, I am rockin…

Top 10 Things That I Learned From Deployment

As is with military life, deployments are a part of the routine. However, the Lord blessed Mr. Awesome and I to enjoy wedded bliss for three years before he had to go off and sail the horizons for 7 months. As many spouses do, I had to put on my "big girl drawers" and get ready for the journey ahead. As expected, the deployment stretched me in ways that I did not anticipate, but during the time that hubby was gone, I learned and grew a lot as a person. Here are the top ten ways that I grew in the time that my hubby was gone.

1) My reliance on the Lord increased as it already does daily. 2) The great love that I had for my hubby grew exponentially. 3) I had to take out and dust off Ms. Independent a few times to get some business done that hubby would normally have been here to take care of. However, it was not the same. 4) There are some really caring people in this world who understand the plight of military family sacrifices. 5) The lawnmower and I do not (an…

-I Corinthians 4-7

On a recent trip to the city of brotherly love (Philadelphia) to visit with family that I haven't seen in a long time and to get some authentic Cheesesteak sandwiches, we stopped to take a pic with this all too famous sign. As we braved the type of cold that Philly is also famous for (at least in my book), we were able to get some other nice tourists to capture this moment for us. Although the original designer of this sculpture, Robert Indiana, did such an artistic notion by making this display, we have to give all honor and credit to HE who constructed the concept of LOVE in the first place.

Many times we think of love as that "tingle-in-my-spine-and-butter…
