He is with you too!

Today is Sunday. A day of worship. In all I speak and do, I pray let it be to the glory of God.
I've had a great time here in R&R FOB. Not so R&R for me. I was very busy and never got the rest that I sought. But I did find a wonderful church. The only time since I've been to Afghanistan that I went in and actually knew people. I found comfort and fellowship...and a chance to learn.
I went to a movie last night that spoke of lonely jobs...oil riggers, hunters, contractors. We are the ones on the outside... adventures, loners, seekers. What is it that we look for? Opportunity? Peace? Life?
Why does the Lord call us? What does he want? The answer is: To shine his glory to all. He is so magnanimous. You wouldn't place a light under the covers. No. You place for all to see. To come to him... To find the answers and the way.
So what are the answers? For me, in every situation I look and say, "why did the Lord place me here?" I go with all circumstances because it's not as if he whispers the answer in my ear. But I know, (faith), for every second of my life he is with me and there's a plan and a path that I am following.
So when I'm back against a wall, being bullied by the meanies, in a bunker as missiles fly overhead, and my family and friends are far away and I get the tug towards loneliness...I know He is with me. I always have him with me.
SO it was on this little base that I found contentment, appreciation, peace, fellowship and rest. Maybe it wasn't the kind of rest I wanted, but just some down time with God. I've really appreciated my time here, and I praise him for the path that he's led me on and the love that he's given me in my life.
That was my reflection as I ready to move on. Thank you for allowing me to share.
