Hi!
Never thought that in the land of Disney 🌎 World and Universal,there is a military base.
Bible in a Year:
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
In Isaiah 26, the prophet declares that God’s people can trust in the Lord forever, “for the Lord . . . is the Rock eternal” (v. 4). He’s able to sustain us with supernatural peace in every situation (v. 12). Focusing on His unchanging character and crying out to Him during troublesome times revitalizes our hope (v. 15).
When we face any loss, disappointment, or difficult circumstance, God invites us to be honest with Him. He can handle our ever-changing emotions and our questions. He remains with us and refreshes our spirits with enduring hope. Even when we feel like our lives are falling apart, God can make our faith unbreakable.
Reflect & Pray
Have you ever struggled with being honest with God when life feels overwhelming? How has God helped you deal with the death of a dream or expectation?
Loving God, please help me believe You can always be trusted with my honest emotions.
I’ve never been in that part of Florida, but would really like to go soon!
“Never thought that in the land of Disney 🌎 World and Universal,there is a military base.”
I went to boot camp in Orlando in 68’. No Disney then.
There sure is. True story, hand to God. When I was first married my husband and lived in trailer on 17 acres on the St. Lucie River here in Florida.
Now for reasons unknown to me our phone number got crisscrossed with the Orlando Naval Station. Mind you this happened when the operator dialed for people trying to reach the base. It happened so often I finally just gave callers the direct number for the base. Usually a “No, this is not the naval base, here is the number. You can call it yourself.” But not for one person. When I told them this was not the Orlando Naval Station they seriously asked me “Are you sure?”
I told them I would certainly notice a bunch of sailors going about their business all day and that though we owned a jon-boat I would hate to think the naval defenses of the U.S. were counting on it. I bet to this day they think I was pulling a prank.
I lived in Orlando in ‘67/’68 and my brother was in the Navy.
I could not believe him when he called me to tell me the Navy was moving him to Orlando! NO WAY! THERE IS NOTHING HERE! Then Orlando was a sleepy central FLA town with lots of pretty lakes and NOTHING going on.
He told me the Navy was opening a new training base there, and when he came down we shared a house on Livingston Ave.
Then Disney made the huge announcement about Disney World, and the rest is history. Sweet old Orlando is long gone......
I went thru and graduated Navy Boot camp in Orlando RTC, September 1987, C-172! Fond memories!
