For years I have prayed that God would keep Jay home from this war. God has been so faithful. 3 times when Jay, could have been deployed with a certain unit God, would move him to a different unit. I trusted that God also knew the day and the time he was going to be deployed, and that we knew God’s plan is perfect. I trusted that when the time came, I would have total peace. I don’t remember the exact date…However it was a Friday (a weekend that Jay had guards) I was praying and spending time with the Lord, I had this overwhelming feeling to pray for and release any anxiety I had about Jay being deployed. I knew that it was going to be okay. The next afternoon Jay calls and tells me he has been told he will be deploying. Of course I was shocked! I didn’t think it was going to be the NEXT DAY good grief!
God is amazing and He PROTECTS our HEARTS and MINDS!
Psalm 118:24
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
The tears began about midnight last night, after one of the boys had some tension explode. All I could do was cry. Thank you for to those that were praying. This morning I woke up with the song “Bless the Lord” on my heart and Yes, I cried when Jay left this morning. However as soon as I started to sing... The sadness lifted.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
