My 27 year old 'baby' is a marine vet who I thought was back in civilian life for good after 8 years but has decided to join another military branch. Civilian life isn't his thing even though he has a great IT job. He has a wife and two kids that are affected by this lifestyle. The jabs worry me every minute of every day. I fear that by going back in, they may push more poison into his body (he's had 2). The working out, weight lifting, running, exerting beyond what most people do, makes me wonder every day if I will get that phone call. Reading your posts has been comforting.
Thank you, Ivy. He sounds like a warrior! It must be his calling. I hope and pray you never have to go through it, but if you do, God will hold you like He has me.
I will pray that you work to stop worrying. That is no way to live. If I learned one thing, it's that God is in every detail and He will not let you down. There are some good plans about worry in the YouVersion app I recommend as well. Thank you for reading and commenting, and I'm glad you find this blog meaningful. That helps me see some light coming out of her death.
Yes, I know that worrying 'is no way to live'. I really do try to give everything stressful to Him, which has worked beyond belief sometimes, but I am also a worrier. I do work on it and tend to spill my guts sometimes, but usually not. You have been so open about your feelings and I appreciate that you are so open. Thank you for your heartfelt writing.
We are all a work in progress for sure. I was a worrier for many of the years raising the kids, but in hindsight I can see what a huge waste of emotion and energy it was.
I pray for you.

So sweet about that little boy. I’m glad you had that blessing and I’m glad you shared it with us. I pray tomorrow is a much better day for you.
Thank you Bella!
