My Greatest Challenge

Thanks for sharing your challenges - we all have them - and mostly new ones come by all the time. Sometimes we conquer them and sometimes they just move over and make way for another. (Those that move over always come back though!)

My greatest right now is spending time with Ron. Since he started working we have conflicting schedules. He used to be home all the time and when I'd come home, there he'd be. We'd have time together until I went off somewhere else.

For those who don't know, I've worked like this - three days a week in Houston - staying overnight at least once - sometimes more -- for about 15 years. So me not being home is not new. What's new is that he's not there all the time when I get there. We meet in passing sometimes - like this morning - I got home from Curves just as he was leaving for work - We kissed as he got in his car and drove off.

When I'm not working there's Awana, there's church, there's babies, there's shopping, there's my Mom, there's something else..... I've had to stop and really think about what's happening to our relationship. We tried the Homebuilders class this summer - I think we actually made about two or three of them - but it didn't accomplish what I wanted it to for us. Those of you who actually pray for prayer requests, will you pray for us? We need to get back in tune with each other.

So that's my challenge!
