T-39, Day 52

Family day is getting closer....34 days

It is one of those days where "the fear of the unknown" rattles your often peaceful existence. I awake this morning in a "letter received" euphoria to realize the radio is discussing a "CODE RED" level for homeland security. The fear of this has been the root of ALL my concerns for Tim and his role in a military career. I just realized, last night at church the preacher talked about faith and believing the promise of God. I NOW KNOW, God sent that message to empower me for the next phase we will be going through. What this alert means is still unclear, but what is clear is...

Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.


That is my promise from God. I will cling to it and trust Him.

Where will Tim be in six months....Right where God wants him.

For EVERYTHING there is a reason.

Ecclesiates

3To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

How can I NOT trust God.

For all this, there is a reason.

Thank you Lord for your divine love and help. Praise your Holy Name!
In JESUS Name,
Amen.

Just keep praying, praying, praying.
