Bitter Sweet Weekend

We were glad to welcome Bubba home for the short 3 days he had to spend time with his family. It was a time of laughing and sharing but all to soon we had to put him back on the plane to head back to duty.

Brandon picked him up from the airport around midnight Wed. and Robert and Brandon dropped him off around 5:30 a.m. this (Sunday) morning. They were on their way home when Bubba text his brother saying they didn't have a seat assignment for him. Brandon's advice was to tell them he was military and had to get back to his base. His next text was... the word military works wonders and some time later he text, first class is great. They found him a seat. He was back on base by noon today.

Tomorrow is a big day for Bubba...it is his birthday and he will be 22 years old and taking his first jump out of an airplane. I really don't want to think about it. I will be the most relieved mom in the country when I get the call that he has made it safely on the ground and no bones have been broken. I know it is in the army's best interest to get these men on the ground in one piece with no broken pieces but I am a mom and I will fret until I know he has made it this first time...MAYBE then the following jumps will be easier!!!

I totally believe Gods word is a two edge sword. It has life and peace and promises that I can hold on to. This is my scripture for Bubba for this time in his life and what he is going through. Habakkuk 3:19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He will make me as sure-footed as a deer and bring me safely over the mountain. PTL God's word is alive!!! All I have to do is open God's word and look for what I need and it is there.
