Wide Awake...Again!

Well it is late again and I am wide awake... again. My husband is away...Fort Jackson South Carolina at Chaplain School with the US Army. This is my first blog, so here I go...
I am relatively new to military life. My husband, Scott, officially joined the Chaplain Candidate program last October. He is serving in our local National Guard unit, working full time, and attending seminary. He has approx 2 years of seminary left ... and a few more online classes... before he will have enough hours to accession to the Chaplaincy. Eventually, we will be in the Army full time. It is all in God's timing! Tonight he is ten hours away!
I had never even read a blog until about four days ago. It was late, I was lonely, and I began searching the Internet. I sat down and clicked around on different sites, nothing really catching my eye. I came across You Tube and thought I would waste a little time there. Why go get in bed... a big lonely bed? I sat for a moment and randomly typed in "Army Chaplain." As I scrolled down the page, I saw what appeared to be a three year old little boy. Being the Preschool teacher that I am, he immediately caught my eye. As I clicked on his page, I noticed a caption that said his song was for his Daddy at Chaplain School. As I read the posting date, I realized that I must have found someone that had something in common with me... a soldier away from home!
I posted Rachel, the wife, a comment on the video and told a little about my husband. It turns out that our husbands were indeed in the same place and had met. A fellow Chaplain Candidate's Wife! I had never met one of those before.
Rachel and I shared stories via e-mail about our husbands, our trips to Fort Jackson, and our children. We talked about the struggles of feeling alone in the journey as a CC's wife. We agreed to pray for one another. Then she introduced me to what has become an addiction- THE BLOG! She told me of other Chaplain's and wives that had blogs. The new friendships of the fellow wives that have been brought into my life these last few days have been such a blessing! It is so amazing to have someone else that "gets it!" I found so many great pictures of my husband! Most of all, I found the encouragement of other women going through the same journey in life that I am on. God has shown me an awesome support system! So tonight I am here... hoping to tell just one more wife... hang in there...you are not alone... and God is good!
