Jake leaves, again, this morning. This is the third time in five months. He asked me last night how I feel on nights like 'this'. Sad, depressed and since it's the third time...tired. I continue to just grab hold of my Jesus. No, this is not what was intended for a marriage but at the same time, I serve THE God of comfort because when does life ever serve us 'what was intended'? We messed that up in the garden right? Pray for us once again. It's only a week this time. That's not my favorite word right now...'only'. People said 'only' last time and he was gone for five weeks. There's just no such thing as only.
Perserverance develops Character right? Bring on the Character! Our biggest prayer is that these 'away' times never be wasted. Never. Please pray with us for a '...but'.
"He was gone a lot, but...." That is our deepest desire. Our life is God's story, not our own.

that just plain bites. Sorry, Holly. hang in there. You guys are amazing and set such a great example of endurance--
I've got a "but" for you...But God is developing a strength through your distance that no trial or tribulation can counter or overcome! What an incredible gift you will receive! Maybe not today...but someday! Faith and love know no distance!
