Hey girl, I have a few minutes between all of the craziness finally. Just got back from church (prayer & praise) and it was great!! A guest speaker was there from TBS. He is a retired colonel and a great man of God. He talked about being content with whatever circumstances you are in.

I have another two-hour post tonight but it is at 2100-2300 this time, and it is outside. It is getting cold here now. Today was very frosty and windy in the morning. We also had pugil sticks today but I lost both times I wen tup. The guys I went against even said that I should have won but the ref didn't see my stabs to their face.

My bones get more and more sore with each day that goes by and I can't seem to keep my eyes open if I sit down for more than 20 minutes but there are only 22 days and wake-up left until I am done with this place and the only reminder that I will have will be two gold bars.

Well I am going to bundle up for walking around a parking lot for tow hours.

I love all of you -
Huge and kiss the girls for me -

I LOVE YOU! Adam

It is a mere two weeks until our family will be reunited. So much has gone on in these few months, that it's sometimes amazing to consider where we've been and where we're headed.

Mostly, I think Adam and I both have really just felt God's hand of faithfulness on our family. He's shown so much favor to Adam throughout OCS, He's kept the girls and I safe and healthy, He's drawn us closer to Him, and to eachother. It's easy to look on this time as a reminder of God's sovreignty. There's a lot of peace and rest that comes in knowing He is our provision, our King, our Savior.

We look forward to December - and the months that follow. There are possible changes ahead that I wasn't expecting this soon (like a possilbe move in January) - but I have that litmus test of God's will in the forefront of my mind - and that is being filled with peace in the midst of what should seemingly be turmoil. At tht end of the day, God is still God, and each day is an opportunity to know Him better.

My girls are such a blessing. Bryna is still loving the Marlins Swim Team. She averages about 3 practices a week. Sometimes swimming for an hour and a half. You can imagine how well she sleeps!

Livia just turned three and is always offering me her humorous insight on any given situation.

Although my head is often swimming...or discombobulated - I'm managing. I'm exhausted...but still here. Learning a LOT about contentedness. Also learning to know what to say no to. Priorities take on a whole meaning as a single parent. You really have to pick and choose what gets added or eliminated from the schedule. I seem to learn the hard way, but I'm getting there.

We couldn't do any of this without the INCREDIBLE ongoing suppport of family and friends, and so appreciate all the prayers extended on our behalf. We feel it...and need it!
