If you have been an army wife for more than 35 seconds, you have probably already discovered that this crazy ride is, well, crazy.
Somedays it makes us happier than a five-year-old at Christmas… then a few moments later, we crumble into big, smoldering pile of ugly-crying heartbreak.
It can be exhausting, I tell you. In my personal journey as a wife of my beloved infantry man, my emotions have stretched enthusiastic optimistic to Debbie-Downer pessimistic of epic proportions.
Now, nearly half a decade into this army-marriage party, I am starting to find my middle ground. Kind of. Ish. Somedays.
I want to be realistic with my expectations, still experiencing the great moments when I can with full joy, but not being crushed to bits when things fall apart last minute.
There are a lot of ways to accomplish this challenging feat, but one technique that has really helped me to find my balance is to celebrate everyday Army miracle moments.
Did you catch that? Everyday.
Want to know how to accomplish this seemingly impossible feat? Read on over at Army Wife Network. (And to all of my non-army-wife sistas– this applies to you as well. Keep reading.)

“Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.” ~Psalm 138:1-3 MSG
