Today has not been that great of a day. I'm gonna discuss death today. I am not personally scared of dying bc I know where I'm going and that my family would make it through w God's help. I am however scared of the death of other people. Yesterday I learned that a young soldier from my friend Rian's husband's unit lost his life in Afghanistan... being there less then a month. This is definitely a scary revelation. Then I've also experienced my own share of death today bc my uncle Chester lost his life today. At least I can say his was a long full life.
I try not to think of the death of soldiers, but reality is it happens. I pray everyday for my husband's safety and health, strength, and endurance. I know he prays as well. You never know the plans God has for your life but I do know that God knows them read Jeremiah 29:11 i believe in this verse so much i wear it on my wrist everyday. I also know that God doesn't take people away... the devil does. It's not God's plan for this soldiers life to be lost or my beloved uncle to die, it's an evil work of Satan. My heart goes out to this young wife and to my own family tonight .... always remember to pray for your loved ones and stay close to them bc you never know when their last day will be.

So the battle to loose 50 pounds is going really well so far. I've already lost 10 Ibs. and I know the weight loss will start to get less but I'm prepared for anything at this point. I've been working my butt off at the gym literally... the other day the machine shut off and said slow down and lower heart rate... this is a true story lol.
Anyways, there have been some challenges I've had to face in the past few day's but I'm so glad they happened in some way's bc they've caused me to grow more as a person and to stick up for myself and my friends bc It's not all about me. I've handled thing's really well and learned that my friends here are sooo unbelievably true to me , like it makes me wanna cry when I think about how much they've been there for me the past 2 day's. I love you guys.
Also Ben said I could go to Florida this summer w my BFF from home and I'm so freaking stoked about it. Were gonna have a blast. Were both Army wife's and it will be smack dab in the middle of deployment so it will be much needed time together. See my husband is in Afganistan and her's is in Iraq.
Hope everyone has a great week, despite the thing's that have happened to me I'm still gonna have one and want everyone else to as well.
