A New Journey

This blog has been a long time coming. I have a lot to say!
 First, let me explain the "Grace, Bindings & Semper Fi". #1 God has given me a LOT of grace. I'm sure a lot of people can identify with that in their own lives.  #2, God has given me bindings. What do I mean by bindings? Well God tells us
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (psalms 147:3).This is a verse I have clung to for years. This is my life verse. I have needed numerous bindings. Not just one. I have had so much brokenheartedness in my life. I was broken. Not JUST my heart. Whenever I needed the reminder I went back to this verse and read it again and again. Sometimes I read it and felt like there was no way for my brokenheart to heal. But I read it to remind myself that he said it, so he would.
 Lastly "Semper fi" is there because the Marine Corps is a big part of my life. I am not a marine, but I often feel like I might as well be. I don't know, because I've never been one, but I don't feel like a "normal" wife. There are so many struggles that military spouses face, and military families, that just are not a part of regular everyday life for most people.
 Don't get me wrong! I am not saying my life is harder. I am not saying I don't love it. I'm just saying it is different, and yes, it can be really hard. It also has great joys!  This is where I would like to share all that with you.
  Like I said, I have a lot to say, but it's not always easy. So bear with me as I try to walk this out. I want to share my testimony with you as well as my life. This is something that has been on my heart for a long long time. Years. But I have been too scared to step up and share. I'm having faith and trust in the Lord. I'm just going to walk this out and see where it leads me.
 Thanks so much for reading.  If you have something on your heart that you want to say, please say it. I need support and encouragement.  And I always appreciate prayers ♡
