Comments on: How I Revised My History http://illuminatedhuman.com/god-talk/revised-history/ Inspiring Spiritual Integration Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:16:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Lisa http://illuminatedhuman.com/god-talk/revised-history/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Lisa Thu, 26 Feb 2009 01:29:54 +0000 http://illuminatedhuman.com/?p=201#comment-4 Jon, I think as military "brats" we all experience the separation, depression, and challenge to continue when everything has changed. Although I didn't have to leave before I graduated, we were there almost 9 years total. When I came stateside I was 21 and had no clue what "civilian" life was all about. I thought I was doing the right thing by trying to stay put for my daughter, let her grow up in the same area, same school, same friends. I was giving her the stability it seemed never came when I was a child. But I soon realized, am I really doing her a favor? Nothing stays the "same." So maybe I'm hindering her ability to be able to cope with life changes. Life is what we make it. But when I look back, I know when the Lord carried me and when I crawled to get back to the path next to Him. He doesn't stray from us, we're the ones who wander.
