So much change so little time

Well the time has come, in my head I hear the music from Jaws playing....but I have to kick that music and go to what is going to keep me going through the next 4 months and that is Gods word.
The husband is leaving, he's been added to the roster and we don't know the exact date but within the next few weeks (or less) we will say goodbye to our Soldier as he goes to Afghanistan to join the others who left last fall. We are so grateful that its not a whole tour, but about 4 months.
It will be a long spring and start of summer but the girls and I have a good support system here at Fort Campbell and we know our families are there for when we need them.
Right now our prayers are for Jake, that he have a hedge of protection all around him while in country. That his travels there go smoothly and quick. I am praying that The Lord guards his heart and mind while over there and the pressures, anger, frustration, evils, of war do not way heavy on his heart or mind while gone.
I can't say enough how happy and grateful we are that we have had him stateside for the last 3+ years. Not many families can say that. I am scared silly when I sit and dwell on the act that he could possibly miss the birth of our baby. But, I am holding strong and getting those ideas out of my mind, they just aren't worth it! I will figure out a plan B should daddy not make it...and we will face that as the time draws closer if need be.
I have been praying with the girls this last week and will continue to do so... The 2 scriptures I am clinging to and with my girls are these: "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV)
I want my girls to know that even though mommy might be having a bad day, or that Isabelle is missing/wanting her daddy, that God wants us to turn to him and he will be there and lift us up!
And the second verse is: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NIV) we are praying this for Jake and will write it on some pretty poster board and pray it daily.

We are also jamming out to this song to keep our spirits high...it's awesome to just sing Gods praises even in the midst of sadness and unwanted change! (Kristian Stanfill-one thing remains-Passion 2012)
