Thanks much, Johnnie… love your recent blog post on what to do with yourself “between churches”… I commented over there.
Great. Nothing like faith experience to get you there!! My story? My hnausbd and I lost three babies. I was deeply depressed. Prayed hard for the Lord to send me a child. THEN I became pregnant and had this wonderful little white blond baby boy. I was so thrilled, I didn’t put him down for three weeks literally!!! Ok, so he grew, and grew. 6feet 7 inches, to be exact.. Played varsity sports, had 3% body fat, blond, beautiful. Went to college, played college basketball. You get it. Eagle scout, involved with church. Perfect, right? So,Sept of 08 at age 25 he up and enlists in the Army. His military occupational specialty? Special forces. Fast forweard to December 20, 08. He is home on leave frojm Basic training. Everyone is celebrating the holiday, and what is Mom doing? Crumpled into a little ball crying with her Bible, in complete terror that he will be killed. He expects to go to Iraq. Ok, so after 8 hours of crying and praying, Jesus teaches this Mom. I made him. I will protect him.’ OK, so from then on I am at COMPLETE peace. Fast forward. he is assigned to the 101st airborne. Jumps out of helicopters, goes after the bad guys.’ Fast forward again to Feb 12 of 2010. We wave goodbye at fort campbell KY. He is off to Afghanistan. My friends are praying for him daily, all the way to the Phillipines. Across many states. He flys missions, kills bad guys, fires 15,000 rounds of ammunition in combat. We are still at home praying. Our church family is INCREDIBLY supportive. Sometimes we don’t hear from him for a month BUT still, I pray for a hedge of protection, and go about my business, giving him over to Jesus. Daily. nightly, during the night. On February 7th, we make another trip to Fort Campbell, to welcome his unit HOME fom Afghanistan. I always thought I had enough faith for anything, but little did I know it would be tested. I love Jesus, and would love him the same had things turned out differently. Bev
