Are you scared to die?

Today I visited one of my dear friends on post.  WE were talking about this hole Jackson thing with dying.  In the conversation she was telling me that when her and her husband flies she get 2 separate tickets on 2 separate planes. In this conversation I learned that she was scared that they both would die, and who would take care of the kids!! So that was my chance to tell her how God would take care of her kids, How everything is in Gods timing. She believes in God and that's all!  So my challenge while I'm still here is to show her Gods love.

Update on my husband:
Hes coming home on Tuesday, he is healing,and I'm learning

We still have a long road, with some 2nd opinions with the traumatic brain injury.

After Duane was shot in Iraq I made a bag and put on it WE ARE SURVIVORS
I look at it and thank God that we are!!

Just asking for prayer!

Its been a very bad day for Duane!
Yesterday I said goodbye to a very dear friend of Duanes who is on his way to another deployment. He was with Duane when he was injured in Iraq.  It brought back so many memories for me! I spent some time talking with his mother listening to her fears, remembering mine. His wife and brand new baby are strong, as this is her first deployment, but I know she will do fine!
She reminds me of myself of independancy and courage! 
God gives us all special gifts to be able to get thru life, as I look back thats what God gave me courage to get thru anything and to be able to stand tall when life is not tall! and independance to be able to go time with out my husband by my side both physically and mentally.
I will be praying for our friends during this time that they will be strong and take care of themselves both physically,mentally and spiritually.

I love you D and M and L
