He Took Your Place

God's love says come as you are, but it will not leave you the same. It was I who sinned, but His blood was shed for my transgressions. I didn't deserve but He put His life as a payment for mine.

He is beautiful. When I held him for the first time; I fell in love with him. I knew I wanted to bring him home with me. Jack and I have spoken about it many times and we were ready!
****
It was early when I got the news. I received a call in the morning after my engagement ceremony. I have no idea what I was going to tell Margaret; it will be hours before I have to get onto an airplane and be on my way to Baghdad.

You may find yourselves in these stories, but even if you don't; He has a plan for you too.
