H just called. He has to check in off of leave today and they may pull the ship out tomorrow, ahead of the storm. Because they cannot get everyone back on time, off of leave, they will pull back in, but may not let everyone off the boat.
I could not help myself and said, damn the kids are really getting shortchanged on spending time with you before you leave. H said he knew but there was nothing he could do about it. I said no, you are right, them changing the deployment date and the hurricane moving in are out of your control and I am not blaming you for that. It just seems so unfair that they lost out. I am pretty sure that he got my point, though.
Told me he will be home around 3 and we can talk to the kids together about the boat having to leave early.
This is sucking bad. I am feeling realyl down, but i know that this is just circumstances. God did not change the deployment date, teh Navy did. God did not send the hurricane, natural forces do. I am hoping though, with all the other storms and the fact that they are not coming close to shore right now, but will be in the ship's path, maybe they will go ahead and back the crusie date up. Wishful thinking, but MAN it would be nice.
I do see the positive--H called to tell me as soon as he found out, rather than dumping it on me when he got home this afternoon. He does sound genuinely bothered by the changes. I will workwith what I 've got and continue to pray.
Father, I know that these trials are not meant to punish but instead will merely serve to continue to build my strength and resolve. I thank you for having enough confidence in me to allow me these tests, knowing that I will come out on the other side, faith intact and stronger than before. While I am saddened by this turn events, I will continue to praise and glorify You for all that has been accomplished thus far and all that will come in the future. It is your Divine guidance that will bring me to full marital restoration, all in order to bring honor and praise to You and serve as a testimony of how powerful You are. I ask for the protection of these brave sailors as they depart on their journey, knowing that You, your Blessed Son Jesus, and the annointing of the Holy Spirit will watch over them and guide them safely home. I ask this all in tribute to the glory of You. Amen
