As an army wife, I have had my fair share of “see-you-later” moments.
I call those challenging farewell experiences “see-you-later” moments because I despise the word goodbye. “Goodbye” seems so… final.
And if you are a Jesus lover like me, there is no finality to the separation with our fellow Jesus-lovers.
This truth alone gives me strength/courage/hope to get out of bed each day and face whatever challenges God has divinely placed in my path.
Although I sound all macho-rock-star-confident about the see-you-later moments in my life, I wasn’t always like that.
I remember my first “see-you-later” moment with my then-boyfriend-yet-soon-to-be-husband Brandon.
Want to hear the “Rest of the Story?” (Sorry… I know that is a little bit Paul Harvey-ish.) Stop by my dear friend Beth’s place today to read how I dealt with my first see-you-later moment and how we can all deal with those moments, military or otherwise.
(Here’s a small spoiler hint: We never really have to say goodbye when we have hope in Christ. Keep reading here.)
Oh, and feel free to leave a comment here or there. I read and respond to every one!
On that note… I will be seeing you later.
Clinging to His Promise,
