“Determined to do it GOD Strong”

Thank you soo much for being faithful to the Lord and writing the book “God Strong.”  After reading the first two chapters it was almost like being under the same roof with you, I have related so much to what you have written.  I’m a co-leader of a military bible study group and one of the gals asked if you were the first person to come up with the phrase “God Strong.”  I told her I’ve never heard it before.

My husband is starting his second deployment and I am determined to do it God Strong this time.  As the FRG is forming and everyone is using the word resiliency I’m using the word “God Strong.”  I’ll be on the side ready to point the military wives to “God Strong” when the resiliency and me strong poops out on them.

Recently after dropping my husband back off at the base after his four day pass I was in my hotel room and the Lord asked me “Are you going to be God Strong or me strong?”  Holding my bible I was reminded of all the people who had trials before me that followed the Lord regardless how scared they were.  I was able to share what God Strong was with a military wife experiencing her first deployment.  Later in the week I was able to share with a family programs employee with the army about the same thing after she used the term “pull up my big girl pannies.”

Thank you for your faith fullness and how the Lord is using you to serve other women!
