Cleanliness is close to Godliness!

Today started off as one of those "Do I even want to get out of bed" days... So, I read my devotional and took on the day. Went to work then met my mom at her work and we drove to the chapel, it was beautiful! So we booked it! Chapel is all set! Things are REALLY coming together! Then I went back to work and decided I didnt want to lay in bed all afternoon so I went and watched my mom and dad with the dogs in their agility class! It was fun to watch my babies do fun jumps and such. As I was driving home I really started to miss Russell, I haven't heard his voice today, but I have been so spoiled the last few days with phone calls I cant really complain! Then I came home and cleaned the HECK out of my room and bathroom, I really love the smell of bleach and I found some, so I poured that baby in the tub! Vacuuming is my all time favorite though as I HATE stepping on little things in the carpet. My dad said that "so and so" Im not sure who, maybe his mom or grandma would always say "cleanliness is close to Godliness." But then again what lady didn't say that back in the day?

I'm really trying to find friends who have their significant others in the military... it's very hard when my "civilian friends" just don't get how crappy the situations and hard times can be. I have my "online" military friends, plus being in a town where the nearest military base is probably 8 hours away makes it harder.

It doesn't help the fact I have cancer too, without having my thyroid and being off medication, no one REALLY gets it, or understands unless they themselves don't have a thyroid. Yeah, being tired sucks, I know what being tired feels like. But not having a thyroid and trying to do your normal everyday crap, is ten times harder. I would LOVE to workout hardcore after work every day, but people don't get it. Its not that I'm being lazy, I just physically CAN'T do stuff right now. I need thyroid cancer friends.

I am planning my wedding which is 72 days away, working FULL time, going to college FULL time, preparing for a year long deployment with my "husband", and dealing with cancer. I know I have my friends and family to help, but I find comfort in knowing that everything I am feeling and dealing with, Jesus has felt it too. I need to trust and resting in Him. Russell knows how I feel, at least he remembers everyday that I'm tired and sick. But he doesn't understand the full extent of it and I don't blame him.

If I could find a Thyroid Cancer military spouse, we would instantly become friends as we would both know how each other feels physically!

Ahh but Trust in God. Ask and you shall receive right? May not be tomorrow, the next day, or years down the road. But I believe someday I will find my "friend" I am looking for.
