Watch out what you ask for

Haven't we all heard that before and probably from our mothers.

When I pray I always ask GOD for protection...at nearly 30 I am still terrified of things that go "bump" in the night, something I still need to work on. But protection comes in many forms, not just from illness, injury or the boogie-man but also from those who would derail our journey.

There is a group of wives here that I have tried to be apart of, I see them at events and I have even had to them over to eat. Our husbands share the same rank and we are close to the same age but somehow it nevers works. As much as I do the inviting, I am not invited in return...this can be very distressing. As I was talking to GOD a few days ago, he mentioned that maybe these wives we not a group that he wanted me to join. Well, that had never occured to me, I always thought it was me, something I did. They regularly go on "girls nights" and this was an activity I need to miss.

He has instead directed me to another group of wives, although they are older and their husbands' greatly our rank mine, we are kindred spirits. We love the arts and having korean adventures that get us home before the "men" get home for dinner. It is a friendship where age is just a number, rank is never mentioned and laughter is always found. Only he could have done this.
