There are a few areas in my life that I would like to work on improving. We should always be trying to improve ourselves, and I do try to, but there are three areas in my life right now that just need that extra oomph! And that would be my marriage-living the first year of your marriage pretty much apart while raising a newborn then throw in a deployment; things can get rough. Another thing I am struggling with lately is getting mad at Kaydence. I feel like I have so much anger from other areas of my life that builds up inside of me that when she does the least little thing I just snap. I can say that this area of my life has already improved tremendously and Kaydence and I are closer than ever and I absolutely love it and I am enjoying every moment that I have with her. The last thing is kind of two in one. This deployment has taken it out of me, emotionally and physically, and its only been two and a half months. But I have to realize that I have to be the 'Rock' for my family right now not only in the physical and emotional sense, but in the spiritual sense as well. So these are three quotes and thoughts of my own that I put together to live by. These are posted in my kitchen as a reminder and that really helps.
"And don't be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are tight now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there." 1 Corinthians 7:17
If I can be nice and polite to strangers then I can do the same with my child.
"I am the rock, a foundation of love, solid and true, with strength from above. I keep this family going; I stand beside my man, I live without knowing, but I am the Rock."
So whats been going on around here? Kaydence has gone from this:
to this:
And she is keeping me very busy these days. Daily posts to come...
