Settle my soul

l really love being a military wife. I love exploring new places, meeting new friends, establishing new roots and learning to be flexible. Yes, these are the good things. But in the same breath of loving it, my soul can feel unsettled. It's so up and down.  It is hard to get established only to move again, meet new friends only to say goodbye, always being in limbo ( you are moving to Florida. Oh, wait, it changed. You are now assigned to Mississippi... you move in June, wait, no, July.:)) I find the hardest part being away from our families. I long to be closer to our parents, siblings and cousins but God has allowed us to be away so we look forward expectantly to visits when we can. ( and get sad when we leave!) It's also hard for the kids the older they get to experience these same emotions. I really do love being a military wife, BUT truthfully I can get sad to up and go again and live in the "in between" and away from the ones I love so dearly.

I hear the sweet words in my heart. "You are called to this life.  Be satisfied and content where I have you." I  then remember God is the One Who will settle my soul.

I love following my husband as God has called him to a job in the military. I am thankful to go where God leads. God is at work changing my heart in this time of uprooting and replanting. May I bloom where He puts me.

Thank You Lord for settling my soul.

I
