“How do you do it?”  I get this question A LOT! Depending on the day my answer could go a couple different ways lol. I have days when I feel like I’m just not getting anything right. Most of the time I’m feeling feel SUPER accomplished and of course there has to be some days where I’m just being a big cry baby! 

Hitting the road with my hubby is something I want and have to do at least 2 times a year. We get to spend all our time together and it reminds me just how hard and stressful his job is. He’s on a constant road trip, Eating out everyday, showering in the truck stops, driving for days, scheduling his help for upcoming jobs, the list literally goes on and on! When arrived at the customers house he works even harder than his help cause he wants his trailer loaded with perfection!! 

  
You can’t just stack up the boxes any ole way! It’s like playing Tetris! There can’t be any holes! This is a load we picked up in San Diego. Customer is moving to New Jersey and I’ll see them on the other end! 

  

This is how the trailer looked after we unwrapped all the furniture! Who’s gonna fold ALL those blankets and seperate these rubber bands? ME! But I like doing it, good arm excercise and it gives him a break. What happens when I’m not there? I don’t know how he does this? After unloading, taking everything into the house, putting EVERYTHING back together chairs, tables, beds, do paperwork with customer then come back to trailer and clean it up for the next load, drive to the truck stop, find parking, eat then wake up and do it all over again! Shheesh! I’m out of breath typing all that! Needless to say, when I’m home n I call him and he sounds like he’s grouchy I know he’s tired and not to take it personally! 

So this load was EASY because he was just dropping off what he already packed and his truck n trailer fit in front of the house nicely. IMAGINE if his truck didn’t fit down the road to your house/apt! What does he do? Well this is called a SHUTTLE. He rents a u haul, transfers everything into smaller truck then drives over to your house and unloads. Same would apply if he were packing up your house! Hard labor huh? 

Let’s talk about the Apt. In New York that didn’t have an elevator! Wow! Carrying 9000lbs of boxes and furniture up what would feel like a million flights. This is a definite TRUCKERS BOOTCAMP! My poor guy tho, he’s so motivated to just finish. I’m sweating like a pig and he’s carrying 2 huge boxes on his back running up the stairs! Omg! I’m praying for the Lord to give me strength. Then I say to myself I’d better loose some weight if I’m gonna go as fast as him! I turn on the burners and stop worrying about the sweat and when I’m done I’m done. Can’t move and my babe is now laughing at me! Lol! Ok that’s fine, I’ll let you have the last laugh only cause I can’t think right now lol! 
When we get to a job and it’s supposed to be a shuttle but corporate surveyed it wrong! Ugh! No time to rent a uhaul. We have to park load up a huge box on wheels and a few Dolly’s a go back and forth! 

   
   
Ok this uphill incline, dangit! The scale had better show me some good numbers! I can’t believe how hard my babe works! I love him so much more seeing him work and trying to keep up with him! 

Back to the question “How do I do it?” Well I’ve hit the road and helped him work for the last few weeks! When I get home and he leaves I know exactly how his day is going and how tired his mind and body is! All of this make me want to try and accomplish even more while he’s away! 
If you are a new truckers wife you have to experience and learn exactly what he goes through everyday so you can appreciate him even more and know how to help him when you’re on the road with him! He’ll love you even more for the effort! Trust me💜
Love my Road Runner❤️

My kids have had so many questions about ALL that is going on in the world. How do they respond to police of they come in contact, will war (bombs) come to our country, will we have to hide our faith, why are gay right so important, why did the whole white house turn into a rainbow, did Martin Luther kings work not change the world? Here’s my answer about gay marriage… 
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Matthew 7:3

It’s NOT our job to JUDGE anyone or argue our point. Not all our friends will view our life here on earth and eternity the same as we do. Our life and every DECISION we make is a CHOICE. There’s no room for self righteousness or perfection in our home. Lets keep our eyes focused on the CROSS.
“As for me and my house we will serve the Lord” Joshua 24:15

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself.” Gal5.14

We are ALL sinners. I am on my knees daily asking for forgiveness. The world will tell you to accept this, be like this.. But as I’ve always told you. This is not our permanent home, don’t be a follower, be yourself and know who you serve and what your willing to stand up for! Respecting others choices doesn’t mean you agree, realize we have our own backyard to take care of and our faith calls us to pray and be examples of Christ’s love. The most LOVING thing I can do for anyone is to pray for them. 

Do I have to agree and support all my friends decisions? NO I don’t.. I DO NOT support same sex marriage. Do they have to support my choice and belief, NO they don’t and I’d never expect anyone to be just like me in order to be my friend. Not supporting a certain lifestyle doesn’t mean I can’t TRULY LOVE someone. There is no sin greater than the other, sin is sin and trust me I sin and fail the lord daily. 
Being a Christian does not make me perfect or better than anyone else. Not all my views are correct and I do not have an answer for everything. I do know that We all have a DEFINITE   appointment with the Lord and I CHOOSE to raise my children and live my life according to the living word that the Lord has given us, The BIBLE.  In a perfect world I wouldn’t loose any friends due to this issue but as we all can see the world is far from perfect. 

There’s a few phrases I have say to my kids DAILY. “Put your seatbelts on” lol, “Leave each other alone”, “How would you like it if he did that to you?”, “Say you’re sorry and tell your brother you love him”, “TREAT each other the way YOU want to be treated, with love and respect”
Kids, the bottom line is you gotta LOVE without judgement because Without love we have nothing❤️ I pray you will remember

Love, 

Mommy💖

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. http://esv.to/1Cor13.1-13
