Day 81, August 26, 2009
Years ago when Noah first went into the Marine Corps I was given great advice, "If he is deployed, don't listen to the news." These were truly words of wisdom spoken from a woman who had "been there".
The other day I was on the treadmill at the gym, surrounded by a bank of televisions, one which was on a news channel. I couldn't hear the narration and I wasn't really reading the closed captions, but the visions and images of desert cammie-clad soldiers walking along sandy streets made me think of my Marine and my eyes welled up with tears. For a few minutes it was a struggle to maintain control, but even though my emotions were in turmoil, my faith was sure.
"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear." Isaiah 59:1
". . .This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that He hath spoken." 2 Kings 20:9
My son's safety is of the Lord and the Lord will work all these things for Noah's good, because, as for the Lord, His way is perfect.
