Praying my daughter through
As a praying mother, I am praying my daughter through the bootcamp journey she is facing with her fellow recruits, and I will pray for her fellow recruits as well, she left February 3 2015.One of the hardest feelings for me to acknowledge was my oldest baby leaving me. But by praying for her and her fellow recruits will help me to get through

Thank you so much for your prayers, my family forms a circle at night before we lay down to sleep and pray up for everything, we will enter your son in our prayers as well as our daughter and other recruits. My daughter and our family is in day 4 now and every now and then "I call out her name and say "mommy loves you" and you can do this". And I believe by faith God got her. Thank you so much for letting me know what's going on with her right now in the boot camp phase and that for me at this point to look forward for her graduation.
Praise God
And may God Bless

Hey, God Bless you so much, Jesusintheboat, for writing me such a blessed post. Just know that in Roaman's 8:28, God is working everything out for the good of your Son for the good of you and your family based on your love for God, according to his purpose for you and your Son. You just like me is a praying mother and I believe by faith and trust in God he is moving in the favor of those that Love him, God's favor is more positive than man's and he will move through man to give us favor on behalf of us. My daughter praise God called Saturday, it was such a delight me and her family long for her call and be happy to hear her sweet voice. She has a cat named "Block" who misses her terribly, he sleeps in her room and stays in their looking at her bed. I understand you very much, emotionally. Trusting in God's power is the only sanity I have right now that gets me from day to day, and it works throughout the night, just thanking God for casting a host of angels for protection around my baby helps me go to sleep at night. Jesusintheboat we are blessed mothers praying for our children, and I will continue to pray for the mercy and grace to extend for our children and the other recruits.
