In the 100s! #countdown #ldr #deployment (Taken with instagram)
One of those nights when I wanna see him over FaceTime or even just hear him over the phone. We don’t have to talk much either. Just knowing he’s on the other end would be more than enough. Its so lame of me too cause he hasn’t even been gone for a week…we’ve had longer streaks of not talking than this, but like I posted before its different now. He’s way farther, 12 time zones away, and in possible danger.
I know though that him and I will always try our best to communicate, support and be there for each other.
“Pinky Promise”
Goodnight.
// I don’t know what it is//
but talking to Hans now feels so different. Praise God for wifi, 3G and the Viper app.
The calls dropped and failed a few times, but we got a little conversation in. Better than nothing at all right. I teared up a little (I’m happiness of course). I’m just so glad he’s safe.
:’)
I will now cherish every minute we get to talk, text, email, anything together. :)
// Never a goodbye//
It’s weird to think that only last week we were together, it almost feels so distant, but now here we are sulking on another “see you later”. I promised you I would be strong, I would keep myself busy, and I would be here when you got back. I intend to do those things. Along with that though..I promise to stay positive, prayerful and patient (and to send you food and other things every month).
We have nothing to be scared of. We’ve got Him on our side and His plan working through us.
I will miss you. Be strong, be positive, always have hope, always pray, pass time, do work and come back safe. We’ll be waiting.
See you later.
// Thoughts before lift off;//
After finding out Hans was (unfairly) not given leave before his deployment I thought about not seeing him off and, even more so, not seeing him till next year. My heart was crushed.
Quickly God blessed us both.
I am so grateful to Tita Shirley and Ate Chiara for sending me to Georgia and to my mama who allowed me to go. It’s funny to me how tita and ate keep saying “thank you for saying bye and doing this for us.” when really I am the thankful one.
I am thankful for their love and care they’ve shown and given me in this little time they’ve known me, for accepting me and most especially for trusting Hans and his heart with me.
Praise God for the people He has blessed me with and for this opportunity.
Fiat.
// Feeling blessed//
So when Hans told me he was deploying I thought to myself “what am I gonna do?” Not to sound like one of those clingy “oh my gosh what am I gonna do without him. Waaah!!” but Hans is the only one I talk to everyday other than family. I told him myself that I would deal with this much better if I was in Oregon and had my friends around to keep me busy.
Anyways…I prayed that something would occupy my time outside of work or that I would somehow see or make friends while he’s away.
WELL this is where the blessed part comes in. In a small but huge way He answered me and is sending me familiar faces every month till about August.
So blessed I can’t contain it. :)
Less than 2 weeks till days like these!
:D
Counting down the days till you get here. I try to avoid counting the days to your deployment, but I know that’s soon to come. Like we agreed talk of that day won’t be brought up unless necessary so instead ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS TILL YOU’RE HOME!!!

Dear you,
We can do this.
Last night I was thinking about his deployment. Of course i was quiet and he kept asking what i was thinking about, but i wouldn’t answer. Then out of no where this fool finds a penny on his bed and says “penny for your thoughts? :)” It doesn’t show here but I hella started laughing.
Rather than dwelling on what is to come I shall live in the moment. :)
The roster that everyone’s been mentioning. I Didn’t think it would have came so soon. I knew it was going to happen, but not at this rate. All we can do is prepare for the worst and pray for the best.
Prepare for the worst but always pray for the best.
Well I know that neither of us were expecting him to go so soon, but God obviously has a different plan for us. Both of us had plans this year and were looking forward to be able to do things with each other…I guess we just have to put those plans on hold.
I don’t know if there’s necessarily a proper way to prepare for this…I do know though that I have to put my faith in Him and His plan.
My prayer now is that God helps us to be strong for each other leading up to the day and especially the days that he’s gone. I pray that He gives him courage when he’s afraid, his comfort when he’s sad, his strength when weak, his company when lonely, and especially his faith and direction when he’s lost. I know we can get through this and like I’ve said before I need to trust in God’s plan no matter how uncomfortable it makes me feel.
Fiat.
