You Are Not Forgotten...

Worth More Than Birds

This scripture was literally what got me through the hardest time in my life while my husband was away at academy and I had a new baby. The unknown of life can weigh us down, it can control us and damage our spirits and our bodies. If you are feeling burdened with worry today, may I remind you, God's faithfulness extends to us because of His love. He sent His son to die for our sins, do we really need to question our worth? His love did not stop the day Jesus rose from the dead.

 He loved us then, He loves us now, and He will love us tomorrow. 

We are valuable and loved, even through our struggles and hardships. We need not worry for tomorrow. As we tend our own children, in the same way, the Lord tends us. Have faith today! Believe in your value and celebrate the things you have been given!


I can do all this through him who gives me strength.  Phil 4:13 NIV

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.  Isaiah 40:31 NIV

 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deut 31:6 NIV

I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.. Psalm16:8 NIV

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22 NIV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Phil 4:6-7 NIV

I am a Police Wife

 I am a Police wife. Just like my officer, I am brave. With courage, I watch him walk out the door, not knowing if he will come home. I know the risks but I'm still strong. I am still proud, and I still have faith. I am the support behind the badge, the counselor, the encourager, the friend. I am the helper in tough times, and the first person to celebrate in the good. I stand alone at times, but our family is strong and our determination firm. I am in the shadow of the badge but I don't care, I love the heart behind it. I will stand behind him forever, I am his first line of defense. I am his link to normality. I am his shoulder to lean on through trials. With honor, I keep his secrets, with love I tend his heart. I am strong enough to do this job. I am brave enough to survive. I am hopeful enough to endure. I will never quit.

 I am a Police wife.

We are awesome. YOU are awesome. Today, I want to remind you of what YOU do. Our Officers are great, but don't forget the vital job we do. You are important. You are made for this. Look at the words in bold...

Brave, Courage, Strong, Proud, Faith, Counselor, Encourager, Friend, Helper, Good, Determination, Love, Defense, Honor, Tend, Survive, Hopeful. 

All these traits are within YOU!

There are days when we feel overdone and burned out. We are tired of the routine. We are tired of the struggle. Don't give up! Don't listen to the lies that you can't do it, that this is too hard, that it's not worth it. You are GREAT! You have purpose! You were meant to do this job and you will.

We spend nights alone, we raise kids on our own, we have figured out how to repair things and build things. We are the mom & the dad sometimes. We have overcome fear and heartbreak. We have loved despite the risk of losing. We have been the defenders, the lovers, the counselors, and the friend. We are the support, we are the safe place. We are the glue that holds our family together. 

Read it again and take a second. Did you let it sink in? Did you really read those lists. YOU DO THIS. You as a Police wife contain the gumption and the strength to do the hardest job. Sometimes we let the momentum of life just push us along without really taking a moment to pat ourselves on the back. It's ok to recognize what WE do. We are some pretty freakin' amazing, caring women to support and love the way we do. We are important. YOU are important.

Be encouraged today that, though you struggle sometimes, what you do is important and it makes you GREAT. I'm going to write it again because I want you to GET IT! You are GREAT! You have purpose! You were meant to do this job and you will!

I made this to go along with this post in hopes that you will save it. Print it out and put it on your bathroom mirror, add it to your desktop, Pin it, keep it as a bookmark, pass it along to someone else who needs it. I hope you can use it as a reminder that we are great women and awesome wives and we have a wonderful life!
