It never Fails ... Chris and Parker left on Wednesday for a guys camping trip to the High Sierras and although I love that they get to take these trips ... I was less than thrilled about the timing of this one. So, off they went and then it happened .... as it usually does .... morning sickness returned, contractions picked up, Tess and West have a meltdown every 2 minutes (not adjusting well to daddy and bubby gone), water is pouring from under my kitchen sink, there's a dead mouse on the patio, a minor car accident and a phone call to the police to our house one night! Really, my very quiet calm life ... except when Chris leaves!
It always seem to happen this way ... when I "need" Chris most, he seems to be out of town. Every time this happens I start to get settled into my pity party and then the best thing happens ... as it always does .... there is this other "guy" in my life that quietly makes himself known. He gives me rest, he gives me peace and he gives me the strength I need to handle all these things that my great husband would usually handle. This "guy" is always here, he never goes on vacation, he never leaves me .... He is my strength, He is my Courage, He is my peace and He is he best "guy" you could ever need! It sometimes takes these times when Chris is away for me to remember that God is always walking with me. I need Him and He is always faithful.
We struggled through the weekend because I am human and flawed but because of His strength, we made it through. I am so thankful for the reminder that He carries me through and I am also so thankful that He has blessed me with a tangible form of His love in Chris and that he will be returning home tonight!
