It’s hard to not be scared. I am praying. Keeping the faith. Staying engaged and reading, refreshing this website non stop. DC and the swamp cretins are stoking the flames and trying to enrage the rest of the world and make it a bigger problem. I’m hearing chatter the USA could bring back drafting and forcefully send away our men and are preparing to as soon as a state of emergency is called. And I’m scared if we fail, or if Putin fails to take out the DS, WWIII is happening and they will have their war. I’m terrified about my boyfriend getting drafted and if you are a girl/boy/she/he/they etc(had to be inclusive for a sec) and have a boyfriend/girlfriend, you understand. My boyfriend said it’s not my choice and he’d do it for us for the money but I am scared if WWIII breaks out the US government will take the only thing that keeps me sane and okay in this crazy time. I don’t know what I would do if I lost my partner. Or if my brothers got drafted. I’m praying to God that everything will be okay. They have taken our freedom, sanity, and everything they can from us and now there’s rumors they could take our partners by force. I think I am just being overly paranoid and anxious but I always consider the what ifs. I sound silly and dumb. I just don’t want to lose anyone I love or care for to these money wars.

God has you. God has ALWAYS had you. If you're anything like me, if you look back over your life, it has most likely been filled with miracles, both small and large. I should have been dead many times over my years and my mere survival at this point tells me that God had a hand in that.
I'm in a fellowship (33 years now) that has a saying: "Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous." I can see that now, looking back over my life.
But if one truly believes in God, a LOVING God, we know that this place and this brief time we are here is not our home. What awaits believers is something I can only dimly see, but cannot describe. Meanwhile, this life, this time, and our presence on Earth is a sort of school, or "boot camp" if you will.
Learn lessons, help each other, defend what is right. That is what we are called to do while we are here.
God bless you, God bless all of us, as we navigate these times. We were born to witnesses and participants in this moment. Courage is not being unafraid; courage is transcending the fear and still doing the right thing in spite of the fear.
