UGH

Just for those who don't understand what my blog is about - I want to clarify that I'm not trying to make people feel sympathetic towards my family or belittle their own struggles but to voice my own because I know some people feel the exact same way and need someone or something to connect to. I just like to write and now I feel as if I shouldn't because I might hurt someones feelings, which is totally not my point. There are many military families out there and it's not that I think my struggles are bigger than theirs because they are going through the exact same thing. Some issues are bigger than others but, I am just able to whine publicly about mine. Some people should try it.

Everyone chooses their own path in life and I chose mine. Or I like to think that God chose it for me. He knew I was strong enough to handle this and I am, for the most part. Most of my encouragement comes from Him, but also from my family. Some of my family members are on Facebook or in the Blogger world so I thought this would be an efficient way to relay my immediate feelings so they might know what I'm going through a bit more.

I certainly do not regret this lifestyle. I actually love it. Now, again, do not get me wrong. I do NOT love my husband being gone, nor do I even like it in an ounce, but it is the way things are. Life is not easy in the military, but Jim and I feel as if we belong in it. We both feel that we are able to handle these struggles with the strength of God and with our marriage. We do struggle with life, in general, and we survive.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, everyone chooses. We chose. You all chose. This is just my way of sharing our choice and our life with all of you.

If you do not want to read my blog or find it offensive, then don't. I just want to be encouraging on the days I feel like being encouraging and I want to be depressed on days I feel like being depressed. So please understand, this is me, and I am allowed to have good days and bad, just like everyone else.
