We have been at Holloman AFB, NM just shy of one year and yesterday a group of people decided where are next destination will be. Do we know that destination? Nope! Will we hear rumor of where it might be? Hopefully! Could it change? Yes!
Our next location and Scott's next job could have been decided yesterday and we won't know where that will be until the fall of this year! Does that cause some anxiety....UMMM......totally does! Seriously, our next stop on this journey has been decided and we have no idea where that is. Does it make me nervous....HECK YES IT DOES! Knowing that our next journey in life was decided yesterday by a group of guys that I barely know freaks me the freak out until.....
I read this.....
"We are so often
caught up in our
destination that we
forget to appreciate
the journey, especially
the goodness of the
people we meet on the
way. Appreciation
is a wonderful feeling,
don't overlook it."
Perfect quote for this moment in our lives. I am so worried about the destination and letting it stress me out that I am forgetting to appreciate what is in front of me right now! The things that are in front of me right now are awesome! We are living the dream! Scott is in the job that he dreamed and hoped for his whole career. He is a Commander! How flipping cool is that?! Together we get to change people's lives, we get to make a difference. God put us in the perfect place and we love it! It has been the hardest best assignment we have ever had. It has allowed us to exhaust ourselves in a way we never imagined. We get to be part of a squadron full of awesome! Together we support people through the best times of there lives and through the hardest times of there lives. The Pirate Family is amazing and I proud to be a part of it.
I am proud to be part of the whole military family! Each destination has brought amazing people into our lives. People that we will forever hold close, even if we only chat through FB posts! Yesterday was a prime example of the amazing people placed in our lives. I received a FB message from a friend that we were stationed with in ND and again in NM. Over time we had lost contact with this friend but reconnected via FB recently. Yesterday he sent me an amazing message of motivation and kindness. It made me appreciate him so much, it gave me that wonderful feeling!
I have received several messages like this from so many of the amazing people we have met on this journey and I appreciate all of you more than you will ever know! You have given me a wonderful feeling when I haven't felt so wonderful! So today, I will not focus on the destination, I will focus on the amazing people we have met along, and the AWESOME life God has given us! I will reflect on the amazing journey we have had so far. Remembering that every step has made me who I am today. Remembering that where we go does not matter, it is where we are right now that matters. Appreciate today and celebrate the people we are with now.
Gracefully I look up thankful for the amazing crazy life that we have been given. Thankful for the amazing and crazy people we have met along the way! Trusting that God is choosing the right path for us to follow and appreciate what I have now, not what is yet to come! Because now matters!!!!
