In light of what has taken place in Germany against two of our airmen, I want to remind each of you  are loved. You are loved by friends, family, and most importantly by our God.

You serve overseas and it is hard.  Especially when an attack takes place.    Right now fear and anxiety can be high; that is normal.  It is good and healthy to cry, talk and cry some more. Do not lose hope!  Please know you have sisters (and brothers) in Christ who are praying for you.  You are LOVED.

Remember that though you are far away, we are here to walk with you every step of the way.  It is tough to convey through words sometimes because they can seem empty, but know that we will sit silently with you to listen and cry.

As you go through the next few days, weeks, months and years please remember a few things:

You are loved.

Many people are SO thankful for your sacrifices.  When people find out we are military, the first words out of their mouths is, “Thank you.”  At this moment it may not seem like much, but know there is appreciation for you.

God will never let go.  Cling to Him, He will provide comfort as you allow Him.

Get in touch with your Chaplain or base pastor if you need to talk more.  They are there for YOU.

Each of you is very heavy on my heart at this time and for that I am thankful.  You are beautiful, you are loved and I am so humbled I get to be a part of the community in which you serve.

prayers and hugs,

Rachel
