Dear Jesus:

   With all that I have endured since becoming a WAC I pray You give me the strength to keep on going through the days. All that I have witnessed,all that I have heard it has been hard to sleep for I started having nightmares. I wake up in cold sweat and my body trembling. I try to remember your words to comfort me and to help me finish my duty. I go to work sewing, collecting, and handing out supplies to the soldiers, but I have a hard time keeping focus on my tasks. I have met so many people along the way some worse off than me. I know You have me where I need to be, but why do people have to be so cruel? Why does there have to be so much pain? The thing I remember most is with this suffering there will come a great reward at the end of it all because of your love and grace. Please watch over all who need You.
