Courage

The past few books I have read have been about military relationships and that sort of thing... I just have to say, those of you who are dating or married to someone in the military: you are amazing. The strength and courage that takes is amazing. The faith and trust it takes is unreal. I don't know how you do it.

My good friend just recently told me that he is thinking of going into the Air Force. When he told me, my heart sort of stopped beating. I have always been scared of losing a loved one to the military. I don't think its wrong, I'm thankful for what they do, it just scares me.... Its one of my biggest fears. So I had to stop and think when he told me this. Do I want him to be happy? Well, of course I do, I love the guy. Do I want him to get hurt? Heck no! Then came this thought: Do I trust God? Yeah, I do. So even though he is still unsure about his decision, I'm sure of mine. I will trust the Lord to keep him safe.

I know this situation isn't a huge deal or even a possibility, but that scares me still. So I pray that no matter what happens, I will have courage through the Lord.
