So my husband is a submariner in the Navy and I can't begin to describe how proud I am of him. I just can't imagine living for months at a time in a huge enclosed metal "whale" without seeing the sun! Being in those things for so long takes a special man. And Derek is just that!
Derek and I have talked several times about whether we want to stay in the Navy or get out after a 2 year shore tour. After he got home from his most recent deployment, I really thought that we would be getting out. At least that's what I thought, until Sunday. Apparently Derek is really praying about the possibility of re-signing. He said that for some reason last week he just felt like God was really telling him that we should stay in. Now we don't have to commit to anything yet, so we're praying, a lot.
I like the idea of staying in the Navy, mostly because of the security that it provides. I also like thinking of my husband as a super hero! :) But I know that God has been preparing me for this life for a long time. I can handle it, so I'm not afraid thinking of the future. I get excited thinking of the challenges that I'll face! I don't know. We'll see what happens in the future, but until then, pray with us about what God wants us to do! I can't wait to see what's in our future!
