Naturally im up because i cannot sleep. i woke up this morning tearful, and find myself in the same position yet again tonight. My daughter was laying in her bed earlier, pondering the first day of kindergarten tomorrow, and she herself is feeling the stress of daddy being gone. I even sat in church today and listen to a wonderful message, and a wonderful song sang by Mrs Stacey Cook. But i feel as if the message really spoke to me today, like Bro Guy was taking directly to me. He talked about how awesome our God is, and played several songs that truly exemplify His glory. He brings us through so much, and without Him there would be no way to make it. I know that He knows my heart, and He's watching over all the 204th with loving eyes. He knows that we sacrifice for the good of man, and I think He's loves our soldiers, and that he would never punish us by taking their lives. I heard a song by Casting Crowns called " I will praise you even this storm." and it truely spoke to me. He wants us to turn to Him when we are afraid, lonely, scared, anxious, whatever the need. Let me give you some of the lyrics:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
Powerful right???? i know. I know that God hears their cries, He knows their fears, and He will strengthen them and give them the courage they need to press on. I just talked to Jonathan, he's landed safely in Maine, will be departing soon... PLEASE pray for Macy and Baylee, all the families of the 204th and our soldiers, may this year fly..... oh yeah, and in about an hour, happy birthday to me!!!
With love,
Meg
