Quote: Yes, she is watching. You're still doing well.
As I told Amy, I certainly hope she is watching. Again, I will continue working to keep myself above reproach. I will also work to learn from my backsliding and NOT beat myself up to much for my inevitable mistakes. I am continuing to do what I've done here from very early on, which is to keep on keepin' on, nurture my PMA and continue fighting the good fight.
Thank you all for being here for me. I lean on all of you more than you will ever know. Most people in my every day life have no idea why I am still hopeful despite how bleak everything looks. My courage and strength comes from The Lord and from all of you. I don't feel alone and the grade of my uphill battle is less steep than it would be if I didnt' have all of you to run up this hill with me.
I was watching Band of Brothers again this week and there is a scene when an A-hole captain sends a private on a 12-mile hike again b/c he disobeyed an order. The scene shows the paratrooper struggling up a steep hill and then, out of nowhere, 3 of his fellow paratroopers ran up behind him and they all picked up the pace because the first paratrooper was no longer alone in his journey and the fellowship/encouragement pulled him along faster and stronger. You all are my fellow paratroopers, pulling me up my hill even though you don't have to, simply because you want to. Thank you all for believing in me and giving of yourselves.
