You know, I really can relate to this SrCmdr, I really can because he is not
the only one at this threshold. It is going around. the same thoughts are
recurring all over and we have to stand against them. If we are there for the
mer convenience of it, then we need to step out, but if we are there because
God Called us to be there, I believe that no matter how discouraged we get,
(and many of you know I get discouraged) We need to keep on with the calling.
If God is calling elsewhere then make the move then. All things considered.
This Cmdr is apparently frustrated and we really need to be praying for him.
How can a Cmdr Command if his supply (prayer) line is cut? He is not the only
one with these feelings, but please hang in there. Remember the boys and not
the beauracracy.
