Last night was the first time that I've slept without my bride beside me since our marraige back in October. It was a little unnerving. When we go to sleep I am closest to the door in our bedroom because of that internal "save the ones I love" mode. I postulate, and maybe ignorantly so, that if I'm closer to the entrance and someone is trying to get into our room to hurt us that I am the one that will block my wife from harm. I don't like not being there. I however have a God that is bigger than anything I can even imagine and he can protect my wife from harm weather or not I'm there. Thank you God!
So I woke up this morning and desired my wife, morning hate and all, to be right there next to me to have and to hold. Let me explain that previous statement a little. Ella-Kate does not like mornings. Her job requires her to get up around 6am and I wake up with her to help her out the door. When my phone rings to wake me I roll over and turn off that hateful noise, because I too am not a morning person, and then proceed to make the attempt to wake my wife. It usually starts with a soft "good morning" or "I love you sweetheart" and is followed by me rubbing her back or her leg to help wake her up. Usually this is met with stiff resistance the likes of grabing my hand to immobilize it and an iron-like will to not wake to the world. I love my wife and take no offense to this and continue my "assault", as she views it, until she finally gets up. I've grown accustomed to this and kind of missed it this morning.
My wife is my gift, my partner, and my best friend and I thank God for her every day. I miss her already and I've only been away from her for 24 hours at this point.
God give me strength and a peace that comes only from you. Please protect my bride and comfort both of us as we are away from each other. Please continue to show me your will for my life and give me the ears to hear your voice. Thank you for this day and the opportunity you have given me to learn more about cells. Amen!
