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.
