I was raised as a Christian, but I'm the first to admit that my faith has wavered during this deployment. A friend sent this to me and it made me cry for a couple of reasons. One, of course I thought of my husband and how fervently we pray for his safety and despite a couple of close calls he's 99.9 percent whole (some hearing lost due to one IED he was in). Two, I wonder where God was when the 2,200 plus soldiers and Marines were killed and the thousands of others wounded. Wasn't someone praying for them too? I know, I know, this is war. I guess having strength in God doesn't mean you'll live a perfect, safe life. I think prayers are for us mere mortals, so we can have some peace of mind in this crazy world.

I'll keep my trap shut on the religion talk, because I know I could upset someone, and that's not what I want to do.
I will say this, be positive, and we're all pulling for you and your family. War is an ugly thing unfortunately... :-(
No man knows the mind of God. ;)
Don't let your faith waiver. Use this time to let God streangthen you. Lean on him for your support.
I know it's hard. And by saying I know, I KNOW. There are days when you just want to stay in bed and cry but you can't because the kids need to be fed.
Hang in there. It's almost over.
I feel for you..the sooner this stupid thing is over the better!
