The Things They Carried

This is a Picture I took at southeastern last year, it shows how truly amazing God is.

Survival is often defined as a living or continuing longer than, or beyond the existence of, another person, thing, or event; an outliving. The story " The Things They Carried," demonstrate how important it is to be psychologically prepared as a soldier during war. This story don't only apply to wars between countries, but also the content can easily be applied to spiritual wars that many Christians faces.
In the story, "The Things They Carried," each of the soldiers did not only carry the items that
were essential to their ranking as a soldier, but also items that were a necessity for their psychological survival. The main character Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried with him these letters from this girl name Martha, even though he was not sure that she was in love with him, he had that bit of hope that she could be in-love with him instilled in his psyche, and that hope that he had stored, played a major role in his survival.
In life we as Christians go through these spiritual wars and sometimes we just feel as if we can not battle anymore, so we find these different items to carry with us in-order to survive and when we understand the idea of God's omni presence in our psychological understanding there is no war or battle to major for us to overcome.
