Well, I thought I would be much sorer this morning than I actually am. Of course, it was only one day of working out, but after years of nothing....
I slept like a rock last night when I finally went to bed. Just having the rest was amazing. I also learned a very valuable lesson--wear my rings to the gym!! I had left them off, as they are loose and I was afraid of either losing them or pinching my finger. Well, after the second admiring glance and the obvious checking out of my finger, I will go buy a ring guard today to ensure I can wear my rings from now on. Then there is no pretense or impropriety implied.
Less than 6 weeks left until Homecoming. While I am nervous about it, I am not anxious. It will be whatever it is. The nervous is more like anticipation. I have faith that the Lord is tasking care of things and all will work out according to His will in time. What that is, I have no idea right now. Good thing I have been a military dependent for so many years. I have the concept of things being revealed on a "need to know" basis down.
D17 and D9 know exactly when DH is supposed to be coming home. Luckily the little ones do not have the concept of time needed to really understand. Otherwise, I am certain they would be driving me nuts.
I spent an hour and a half on the phone with my inlaws on Monday night. They are the king and queen of acting as if. We could all take lessons from them!! My FIL seems like he is almost hoping for DH to get orders to another ship or the be sent IA after deployment--both of which are a very real possibility. I am guessing he thinks it will force DH to re-examine his decisions and do the right thing, especially if the orders involve having to move to another area. I will have to let God lead me if that happens, as I do not think I would want to move away from friends and family with out some sort of a commitment to work things out from DH.
Romans 8:28 has become my guide for this time. "And we know that all things work for good to those who love God and who have been called according to His purpose."
Off to clean something.
