I spent two hours mowing our lawn today, and just as I finished up with the front, my next door neighbor came over to tell me that he'd be happy to just keep on mowing our lawn when he finished up with his own. I assured him that Justin was usually here to take care of it, but what a sweetheart, right? And just yesterday my neighbors across the street told me that they frequently pray for our troops, and they added Justin to their list of people they pray for every morning. They even told me that before I told them that he's deployed! So that meant a lot to me too.
Prayer is powerful. For starters, how miraculous that Gustav did as little damage as it did! There are still a lot of people inconvenienced and without power, but praise God that there were so few casualties, and from what I've heard so far, everyone has a home to go back to--including the McBrides! And on a personal note, as I was mowing this morning, it just hit me that you all must be praying for me while Justin's away. I really haven't been sulking in the fact that he's gone, and that in itself is miraculous.
Seriously. That is not an understatement.
The last time he was gone for three weeks, I was a little pitiful, I'm not gonna lie, and I told God that if He ever got me through one of Justin's deployments gracefully, I knew that He would be the reason why. So thank you all very much for your prayers and support!
In the spirit of this post, I'm not going to leave a question this time. But if you have something, anything, you would like me or others to pray for, please don't hesitate to leave a comment or send me an e-mail.
