The Beginning

Military spouses are an interesting breed. They live many days without their spouse, and yet remain strong. I am an Army Wife. Yes, just like that show on Lifetime, except REAL! I believe in God, and that belief keeps me strong in all the times of loneliness, because I am not really alone. God is always near. This is my life:

I've talked to quite a few who start a countdown for the day their spouse comes home. At the suggestion of a very strong Christian military wife, I want to approach this year in a different way. The title of my blog says it all. Don't count the days, make the days count. Instead of starting a countdown until his return, I will be blogging my attempt to make each day count for the Lord.

Living in Europe, it is easy to just go and travel while my husband is gone, but I want to do more. I want to make an impact and I want everyone I meet to know without asking that I am different, that I am a Christian. That means that I must live through my actions.

This may be a lofty goal for myself, but I have never shied away from a challenge.
