America, what will you do when the voices behind the badge have had enough?
Posted • Giving some insight to a police wife’s brain.

We woke up this morning to some scary news. I texted a leow and we talked about death before 8am. We push our feelings and thoughts aside and go to work. We are now going to bed with heavy hearts. Two deputies were killed in the line of duty tonight.

They will never go home. They will never work another shift, put on a vest, or lace up their boots. People will raise money and plan a funeral. Friends and family will be broken to their core. Their department will be numb for weeks and months. Law enforcement families will once again rethink and question everything. Some will relive their own trauma.

Unfortunately many of us know the feeling.

We wake up to evil and we go to sleep with evil. We see and hear about it every single day. It’s easy to get distracted. It’s okay to be angry and sad. It’s okay to go to therapy and take medicine. It’s okay to be confused.

Just remember, it is so important to be in God’s word everyday— a reminder to you and myself. We do not live in fear because we know our future. We keep doing our best, living in the moment, being the light, and leading others to Him. Stay focused.

But please, make it stop.
