Well we have all known for sometime now that Justin would be leaving us soon. But soon came this last weekend. I'll remember my 31st birthday as the day my brother Justin left for the marine corp. Words cannot describe just how much we will miss him while he is gone, and We will all be praying for his safe return quickly. He has wanted this for a long time and we are all so very proud of him. We had a farewell party for him and I had wanted to say a special prayer for him then, but I was overwhelmed with emotion and I couldn't get my thoughts out. So I want to take the time now to pray for him again; Dear God, Thank you so much for my wonderful family. As we send Justin off I ask that you place a hedge around him and keep him safe. I pray that you will always fill his heart with warmth of your love and presence even when he feels alone. Let him find your light in every dark situation that he will soon face. Comfort him in his times of need. Lord help me understand the sacrifices he is making for the good, and not the bad. I know you hear me and I thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for sacrificing your son for us. All this I ask in your precious son's name Amen.
