Keep Your Courage

Sometimes this life makes it feel like our whole world is coming apart underneath us. Well, those are the exact moments God asks us to trust him. And it turns out, those are the exact times that build the strength we need to get through those exact kind of times.

We experience such strong community with other military wives who are going through the same hard things as we are. I wonder, do we see our marriages the same way? Is it possible for these hard things we go through to be an opportunity to get closer in our marriage? Let's talk about it.

We are the military wives who keep going no matter what. What then, do we do about those times when we actually can't keep going any longer? I think today's episode just might be exactly what you need.

We know that one of the harder parts of this military life is that every 2-3 years we have to pack up and be the new girl. Sometimes we begin again with a broken heart after a hard pcs, sometimes we don't want to find new friends at all, doubting you can find your people in a new place.

When we said our marriage vows, I thought the phrase "to have and to hold" was literal, that I would actually be able to hold him.

This life forms us and shapes us, sometimes in ways we don't even realize. And here's the thing- it's forming and shaping our spouse in meaningful ways also. And our military friends, and our military neighbors. What would it look like for you to think about how you have been changed, and then ask someone in your life about their experience? It just might a building block to help you be more connected and have more strength to handle this life. I'll show you what I mean.

In this military life, it can feel like you are always the one that has to adjust, laying your desires down for the greater cause. It can leave you feeling like you are the supporting actor in somebody else's story. I've felt my soul a little faded from putting myself last for the sake of the military, but I have also felt myself come back alive, find that zing from doing something I, myself, love. You can do the same.

No one ever told us how hard it would be to make friends as an adult. Throw in frequent moves and military life, and needing community but not having it is a common theme in military spouse life.
