About a month ago when my husband was ready to deploy overseas, there was an entry in his profile stating that he was not medically discharged for the mission. Therefore he stayed behind while his unit deployed. Although he was aware of the contents of his profile, he knew this newly found entry was God's doing.
He was transferred to another state in which he will undergo laser surgery and therapy for a few months. My husband was fearful of being totally discharged from the military for financial reasons. He was grateful that God kept him from fighting this gruesome battle that has taken so many lives of his friends already. But the guilt of not being there for his unit was overwhelming him and the fear of not being able to financially take care of his family filled him with regrets.
We serve a mighty God that is aware of all our worries and needs! He put my husband's guilt at ease and made a way for him to receive ample benefits when he is discharged that will enable us to live comfortably for what we need!
Truly there is no one like our God! He is concerned for our well being more than we are ourselves!! He demonstrated to us that for Him there is nothing impossible. What man declares, He overpowers!! Man said you will be discharged without benefits, God said "You will be honorably discharged with benefits!"
Military personnel would cry out that it is impossible for that to happen. Well, I guess they don't know THE CHIEF COMMANDER as we do!! To God be the Glory!
Its been a long journey but I am grateful that this one is soon ending and another one beginning. Our new venture will be walking out our destinies in Christ. We know what we have been called to do and we, by God's grace will walk it out together!
Until then, I wait patiently for the day my soldier comes home permanently!!! Thank You LORD! And I want to thank each of you who have kept my husband and our family in prayer! God has heard!!!!
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
