Solider's Wife

A Soldier's Wife
Roxie Dean
Breaking News from a desert town
Smoke and rubble on the ground
The names we do not know right now
And it cuts me like a knife
With a tearful goodbye kiss
I sent him off to this
But I've gotta stay strong for our kids
I'm a soldier's wife
I run the houseI sleep alone
I live for e-mails
And the phone calls home
I tell my children he will be all right
And I hope it's not a lie
I'm a soldier's wife
We do the things we used to do
Go to church, go to school
But you could drive a truck right through
The hole that's in our lives
My little boy shoots me a grin
And says he wants to be like him
And I feel my heart start caving in
I'm a soldier's wifeSometimes I'm angry
Sometimes confusedI live and die by
The evening news
But I tell my babies he will be all right
And I hope it's not a lie
I'm a soldier's wife
I pray for strength
I pray for peace
I pray that he comes home to me
And if you would please pray for me
I'm a soldier's wife.

“Desert Time”

S- “In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron” Exodus 2:16
O- Have you ever felt that you were in the desert? You feel like NO one care, NO one is around you to help you out and you have NOTHING. God will draw us out of our comfort zone. He will draw you from your everyday normal routine to the desert. Our move to the Army and to WA was a big drawing to the desert. We had all we needed and wanted in Havelock. We had a wonderful church that was our family, we had wonderful friends and we were very Comfortable in our lives. A- The “Desert Time” is going to be a dessert time when it is all said and done. God is my Strength, My Rock and my Sweet daily Manna during this desert time. I will rely on the Lord for my strength. I will stand on his word. I also will take is word and make it Sweet Manna to share with others.
P- Dear Lord,
Draw me out Lord to be closer to you and feel your presences in every step. Lord you are my Manna in this “Desert Time”. This growth that is being done is to Glorify You! It is going to be a sweet sweet “Dessert” in the end!
Your Princess,

Strong Foundation

Strong Foundation

Scripture- Luke 6: 46-48"Why do you call me Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who come to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck the house but could not shake it, because it was well built."

Observation- We got thru building times in out faith. We add more stones to our foundation. We build it up for the upcoming storms in our lives. Sometimes those storms are foreseen and sometimes they are not. Sometimes they come one right after another or at the same time.

Application- During thease storms, I will remember the building times. Look back over sermons, scriputres, SOAP's and continue to seek the Lord. My foundiation is in Christ! I can weather ANY STORM!!!

Prayer- Dear Lord,Please help me to remember you are my foundation,. You will see me thru it all! I can trust you and know you are here for me. You will see me thru the darkest times!Your Princess,Meredith
