Being a firefighter's wife

Yesterday we got a text that is similar to one I often fear getting. Where there is a phone call or a knock at my door. Except thankfully, Joseph was the one handing me the phone with the text, not the one that it was about.
Joseph's lieutenant siezed while at work yesterday. After hearing the details it was awful. Thankfully he seems to be doing alright, but it scared this wife's heart. This line of work that Joseph does is scary, but it is also much needed. I am not sure I will ever get used to hearing details about calls with machetes or ever stop worrying that I will get that call that something has happened to J. But what I am going to do is continue to trust more and more that God is sovereign and looking out for us. That no matter what, HE is in control.
Pray for the guys who had to work on their own "brother" yesterday. I'm feel very protective over these guys and when they all hurt, it makes me sad. Pray for the LT. That he will continue to recover and get back to his normal self.
This isn't normally what I put on this blog, but it does seem to be a big part of our current journey, so I figured why not include it! Love you all!
