And So It Begins....

So today begins the Journey my husband has been striving toward for 6 years. We are sitting at orientation for his new job and I am praying to God for guidance and clarity on how I can be supportive and fulfill the role God has given me.
In verse 12, this woman who fears the Lord is said to do her husband good all the days of her life. Being supportive and available to my husband is doing him good. Being at orientation with him is not only showing him my love, but showing the rest of the staff that I am there for him. I am excited to learn more about ways to do good for my husband all the days of my life...

Verse 25 is the most powerful of all for me in this journey, and has been a coveted verse of mine for time. Strength and dignity are her clothing... Even as i am all dressed up right, putting on strength in front of this crowd is the most important, and difficult. Who am I to stand among a room full of department of Fish and Wildlife staff? I am a woman who fears the Lord!

Verse 25 continues with am image that I, not only now, but throughout this experience will have to remember... She laughs at the time to come. Wow.... The next year will be an adventure, and I say year because yes, the section of training is 8 months, but then on site training is 3 months after that. I laugh Lord at the time to come, these are happy tears right? Oy. I am clothed with strength, I am clothed in strength.
Once back at the apartment, that surreal feeling was still overwhelming as we started to relax. No time was wasted in my husband pulling up work and getting started, while being completely exhausted, I had to succomb to the request of Lady, our golden retriever, who decided she was not satisfied to sit in the house and play. We went for a long walk in the rain. I have to admit that Lady knew what she was doing, the walk was refreshing and calmed my nerves. She listens to God very well :) Just before bed, I put a drop of Lavender on my chest and feel into a peaceful sleep.
