These three precious nights Sonia and I had together was an awesome gift. She came home. Home to my heart and arms. It was brief but intense. We both realized that time was too precious to waste on trivia. It was all about our God and our passion for people and our dedication to each other. It is hard to sit here without tears of yearning. Sonia has left. She's gone to prepare for her flight to Iraq. Yet nothing can separate us from the Presence of God. Now I lay in an empty bed . . . for now. I have supreme confidence that I will see her safe soon again. We know the Army allows leave after six months in the field. So our hearts prepare for a two week respite this coming Easter tide. Regardless of the timing, God will get His say in our lives. I pray that the love that Sonia and I share will continue to reflect the power of God's mercy and love. We wish to honor Him with our lives and to thank Him for every opportunity to share the wealth of His wisdom. There may be one less sleeping in my bed tonight, but Sonia’s heart is still beating strong inside of me. I thank God for this wonderful gift.
