So I am officially the wife of a police officer. That being said, there really isn't anything that exciting to blog about. Things in our life are different, that is for sure. But not different in an exciting way. So I thought about ending our blog, because I actually don't even know if anyone reads it. But then I thought, it might be good for me to keep writing about our lives now that it's taken a huge turn in a new direction, even if I am the only one that reads it.
I am sitting here wishing Nate didn't get called into work 3 hours early. I feel cheated out of my time with him. This is definitely going to get some getting use to. Start work at 4 pm, get home at 4 am (suppose to be 2 am) sleep until 11, wake up, eat and go back to sleep for a few hours before he starts all over again. And here I am again alone with Kate, trying to figure out how to entertain an almost 2 year old.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am more than excited for him and his new career. I have know for a long time this is what he wanted to do and what he felt God was calling him to do, and how hard he has tried to get his foot in the door. And I have and will continue to support him through it all. I am super proud of him and am blessed to call him my husband. But after 5 1/2 months of him being in the academy and now we are back together, I just want every minute I can get with him! I am selfish :-)
So begins the next phase of learning for me.......I am definitely a work in progress. I am continually learning to rely on the Lord for everything (much easier said than done) and to trust that the Lord is with Nate every moment he is working. That He has a perfect plan for our lives, and He wants to be our strength and our joy. That my joy and my peace can not depend or rely on my husband or my daughter. We never know what is going to happen day to day or moment to moment, but we do know that God never changes. So when Nate works 4 hours later than he was suppose to or Kate is throwing a tantrum every 5 minutes because she isn't getting what she wants, I need to stand back, take a deep breath and remember to take one day at a time. God will get me through each moment, if I let Him.
