A field guide for military spouses who did not know what they'd signed up for.
âYou knew what you signed up for!â Megan B. Brown has heard that hint of condescension more times than she cares to remember. But did she? Honestly, no. She fell in love with a military man and had dreams of adventure.
In much the same way, when we surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ, we really had no idea what we were âsigning up for.â We were probably so overwhelmed by His love; we werenât necessarily focused on the sacrifices that would follow.
Five moves. Ten different houses. Four children. Two deployments to combat zones. Megan has discovered that this lifestyle takes its toll. She has sacrificed jobs, communities, friendships, and personal dreams. She has comforted children whoâve cried themselves to sleep over missing their father. She has bravely stood in the gap when her husband had boots on the ground somewhere else.
In Know What You Signed Up For, Megan helps military spouses see that weâre right where weâre supposed to beâchosen for this specific time and place. Weâll find life in our roles as military spouses, mothersâor spiritual mothers. Weâll discover the passion of the gospel, the wisdom held in Godâs Word, and the strengthening of His church. Weâll hear His call to be radically hospitable and unconditionally loving. Together, weâll see what it means to follow Jesus, love people, and live on mission.
