I am a blue star mom. My eldest is serving in Iraq and I have more children coming of age, willing to wear the uniform of our country and serve. There are many nights when in my heart of hearts I fear what stepping into this arena of service may bring. The first part of Psalm 94:19 captures my feelings perfectly: "When my anxious thoughts multiply within me..." What are my anxious thoughts? My loved one is leaving, he's going far away, he will be in harms way - he could be injured or even worse! Those thoughts multiply within me at times, but the second half of this verse brings me back to focus on the LORD JESUS, and His Word. "...Your consolations DELIGHT my soul." In other words, the promises God gives me in His Word, the Bible, fill me with comfort, peace and hope!
It is my desire to share the comfort, peace and hope that I have found in the person of Jesus Christ, through His Word the Bible, as HE takes my hand and walks me through this path of my life.

Hi Nanne - Mom shared with me some of the things Mark was sharing about this at the prayer meeting. I think the Lord has been preparing you for a long time for this ministry. This is definitely one of those things that will be impossible for you and yet a joyfully trying, amazingly surprising journey as you see what He does through and in and for you. He is sufficient and as you are glorifying Him in this new arena you will find great joy in Him. Fight for the joy Nance! I will be praying for you and lifting my heart up alongside of yours. I love you sis.
