It's Time to Let Go

Today, I am completely letting go of all the 'unnecessary' feelings I have in me. It's final. I am letting them go by surrendering them all to God. I will now rest in His assurance that He will make everything all right.

I just finished talking to my husband and in his email, he told me they'd be leaving to do their mission later in the afternoon. For the first time since he first told me about it, I didn't feel scared or too much worried!! I already have prayed for this and I'm still and will always be praying for them. I know that everything is totally out of anybody's control now, but God.

It's time to let go of worrying. God is in control of everything and I know He will keep each of them safe and deliver them from any harm.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalms 23:4 KJV

It's time to let go of fear. My husband draws his strength from that of what he sees in me. I have to stay strong for him as what he always reminds me to be. I have God with me and any moment I am afraid, I will trust in Him.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9-10 NIV

It's time to let go of crying and feeling down. Instead, I should be focusing on more important things, as what my husband would always tell me to. Crying won't do me any good. I must be tough and willing to endure whatever life throws at me. I may not be out there doing the same thing that they do, but as a wife who is standing by her husband, I know I am helping him by just being one.

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalms 31:24 KJV

Here's a short message from my husband.

Mahal,
I need to log off sweetie and get ready for bed. I have an
early day tomorrow and we are leaving in the afternoon. I can call you
I am sure and I will hop online even if I can't with my computer. I
love you mahal and pray for our safe trip my darling wife. I love you
and your D will email you as much as he can and I will come home to
you!!! Mwah!!!!!

Reading his message no longer brought fear to my heart, but so much pride!! I know my husband is a great soldier and he's really good at what he does. I know in my heart that he will be just fine, I believe in it. With God watching over them, what is there for me to fear about?!

I am letting go of these feelings that I know will just destruct me rather than give me some peace of mind. But, I am never letting go of all the hopes that everybody will make it home safely.
