Soldier On, literally.
Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid of what my new phase of life spent serving the nation in the army would be like but I’m guessing I’ll be as ready as I’ll ever be. 2011 has been a phenomenal year of healing, growth, enjoyment, travelling, bonding, building new relationships, strengthening old ones; so many have come and gone, so many seasons have passed, and yet my core stays the same - poor in spirit, desperately in love. I felt a void because of a lack of love and attention but God… not only does He provide and love, He put skin on when he gave me my friends who are now my family. He showed me love and I just am unable. And really, in all honesty, what the heck is army when I think about the ones I love and those who love me? I know I want to grow and I know a change brings that. So here’s to living my best life for the next two years. He already has gone before me and so I am secure, I am hopeful, I am faith-filled, I am trusting, I am provided for, but most of all, I AM LOVED.
