If I were in Lieutenant Jimmy Cross’s unit I think there would be many things I would carry depending on the different situations and missions like the other men did; however, I think there would be a few items that I would be important for me to always carry. The first and most important item that I would carry would be my Bible. God’s Word is vital to my life and I need it everyday to live. My relationship with the Lord is the most important aspect of my life and without His living Word, I would not be able to have the relationship that I have with Him. His Word allows me to know God more and God uses His Word to teach me and speak to me. The Bible would be an imperative item to carry because it would help me get through the bad days as well as the good days. The book is filled with stories, lessons, and words or encouragement for anything and everything I have to face in this life. The Book of Life would be my crutch if I were a soldier. The words of God give life, hope, joy, and peace unlike any other book.
Along with my Bible, I would bring a journal to so that I would be able to write things down each day. I would use this journal as a way to record different things that happened along the journey, memories from each day, and different things the Lord is teaching me along the way. The last valuable item that I would bring carry would be photographs of my family and friends. The people that are in my life are so important to me and I know that if I were a soldier, I would miss them terribly. I would have to have pictures to remember them and the fun times we spent together. My Bible, a journal, and photographs of family and friends would be the three items that I would carry with me at all times because they represent the most important aspects of my life.
