On our way into MEPS on Monday, to get Brandy processed, we were each handed a small Bible, covered in the latest camouflage. It was a perfect size, designed to fit in the pocket of fatigues, or in our case perfect for my purse and for the back of the toilet. As silly as it sounds, that little Bible, containing the New Testament, is the best way to spend a few quiet minutes when we're in the bathroom. D has found it ideal and I believe, has even traded his pocket yahtzee game and opted to read a chapter or so.
Every time I see the little cammo Bible, I feel comfort knowing that Brandy is carrying the same one. I'm excited to think about the comfort it will bring her over the coming weeks and more importantly, thoughout her life. This week has been difficult and at those moments when I'm filled with pain and despair and worry, I realize that it is because I am not trusting in Him. Not hearing His word.
So I pray, I pray for her and I pray for me. I pray for all of the other members of our military who so selflessly are giving their life for our country and I pray for their families who, I'm sure, feel the same pride, yet who miss them while they're serving.
