Hurdling away from me
Today, the love of my live starts a on a journey that will take him half way around the world. Further apart than we've ever been, even before we met and knew that being apart would ever be an option. Of all the ways I know our days will be different while he's away, there's a multitude of ways that our everyday will be exactly the same. Our lives are connected in a way not measured by space and time, but deeper, more profoundly by soul and spirit. There's a peace and reassurance knowing that the same God I have chosen to trust with my eternity, I can trust to protect him and bring him home safely. Ironically, while we're 6500 miles, and 13 hours apart I can't help but hum that old childhood favorite... 'He's got the whole world in His hands...' Big hands, small world, one day at a time.

Indeed He does!
I will be thinking about you. I just got home about an hour ago from a 17 hour day which included driving to Salem, VA to meet the inlaws and pick-up my little one. She was 16 hours away from us for a week(but who is counting??!!) She had been away for a couple of weeks at a time before, but only 8 hours away. I didn't think that the extra 8 hours distance would really make that big of a difference, but it did and I/we are oh so happy to have her back home with us...even though she leaves in 2 days for 2 1/2 weeks with her other grandparents in AR. Anyway, I know this isn't exactly what you will experience, but kinda. And, yes He in fact does have the whole world in His hands. Also, remember that when you look up at the stars and moon at night, he will be looking at the same stars and moon with you!!
