I get asked all the time "How do you go 3 months without seeing Travis?" or "How do you not just worry ALL the time when he's gone?" At first it was really hard. He's out in the wild, with bad weather, predators, and encounters a few "idiots with guns" I call them. Several have thought Travis and/or his hunter were an elk or two! Well, that's what he gets for being a REALLY good elk caller!
Recently, it wasn't the easiest when Trav told me the story of the wolves surrounding him and his client. Whatever happened to "what happens at elk camp stays at elk camp"? Sheesh!
But I know about the peace that God gives me that surpasses all understanding, and I try really hard to think eternally. Not temporally. In the whole grand scheme of time - eternity - what is three months? Nothing. If I focus on worry, and not my trust and faith in God, then I'm not considering all the good He has planned for my life...at a table He has prepared for me. Here and now...and for all eternity.
Today I am grateful for that perspective. Time is just bananas to me, anyway, but it goes by fast. In three days I'll get to see my beloved and I can't believe that three months has already passed. But it's faster than the blink of an eye. And an eternity.
