Strangers, Friends, and God
Since I've been here in Iraq, I've recieved about four letters from people who support the troops. They're nice people for taking the time to write me. In the letters, they tell me about what's going on in the states, where they live and a bit about themselves. They ask me questions to learn some about me and so that they have a better idea of what to send me in the care packages. If you know me, you'd know that I told them that their prayers and support are enough. Also, their letters boost my morale and brighten up my day. There's just something about seeing your name on the board for mail. It feels good.
I have yet to recieve anything from my friends. It's all good because I know some of them support me and pray for me. Plus, I tell them I don't need anything when they ask me and I haven't sent them anything either so I guess that makes things even. Some of them message me online sometimes and it's great to hear from them. Some of my friends, I think they forgot about me haha. I understand they're busy living their lives and trying to enjoy the summer. I'm especially grateful for my friends that are here with me.
Strangers and friends, it makes no difference. Unfortunately, the truth is that they come and go. But, God will always be there. For me, at this point in life, God is the most difficult to rely on but, the only one I can fully depend on. Does that make sense? haha. My mind drifts to think about my family, friends, current situation, future, and trivial things. I don't think about God as much as I should. When I do think about God, I think of all that He does for me. I just tell God that I'm sorry. I really don't deserve His love. That is why God is so amazing. He can love someone like me unconditionally. His mercy and grace are something out of this world. Not many people can forgive and love people who've turned their back on them. That's what separates us from God. Not many people or better yet, I bet no one at all would give up their one and only son for the people in this world. With that, I say God is awesome.

God is awesome. May he keep you in his perfect peace.
Thank you!
thanks for sharing bro!
btw - i have no idea how long it's going to take - but something should make it's way to you soon. it was a lot easier to send you something than i thought so expect random embarassing crap coming to you - unless you actually tell me what you want. otherwise, i'll continue to send you panchees.
