11/2/2014 "White Phase Sunday"

I will not fear the arrow
“You will not be afraid of..the arrow that flies by day.” Psalms 91:5

Today’s Sunday service was about being a warrior and defining yourself. It reminded me of a passage from Psalms 91 the book I am reading.

You are in a spiritual and life battle zone. Every assignment is directed to your life to defeat you. They are seldom aimed at an area where you built up but at points where you struggle. Believe by faith, overcome, and keep pushing on.

Today is recovery day. With Daylight Savings time change and Sunday wake-up not until 0545; plenty of sleep was had. I woke up for 0200 fireguard; mopped the bay; went back to sleep and woke up at 0500. Decided to get up and do 100 push-ups and sit-ups. Took a shower, then turned the lights on and woke everyone up. Now we form up as a platoon, but we can march to chow without a DS so it’s more relaxing. Chow is a little longer as well. Until evening chow is free time so we are squaring away our lockers, cleaning weapons, and writing the “Soldier’s Creed” 50 times because someone screwed up. Because I am a team leader I will walk around to make sure my team is on point and everyone’s ruck sacks are packed tonight for tomorrow’s 8K march. The weather is still chilly but feels much better.
Even though I am settling into the schedule and life here... I am ready for the next month to blow by. Looking forward to home and checking in with my civilian job. I hate not keeping up with what’s going on there and the thought that I may be falling behind.
Anyways- Sunday’s are great here and back home so hoping everyone is taking advantage of the day. Another day in paradise. J
