Hallowed LAKE FROM Scott


All over the world people are shutting themselves off from society for different reasons. I shut myself off from the world after I left the Army because I was angry at everything: God, America, Family and myself. I spent days doing nothing, sitting in my only chair without a thought in my head. There was no reason to move, nothing I did brought me joy. After a few years of just going through days of existence I decided I was not going to be that Veteran. I did not want to be that guy who never made a difference with the people around me. So I picked myself up and forced myself to become part of society again. There are some key factors which I believe every Veteran needs in their life to live so they can sleep at night.

First, I have always had a healthy belief in God and began praying and reading my Bible again. I asked God for forgiveness and to restore my relationship with Him. Having a quiet time every morning is a must.

Second, I began to place people around me who I could trust. These are people who may not understand me all the time, but they are willing to stand beside me. Likewise I force away those people who are toxic and only seek bad things.

Third, I started doing something nice every week to bless someone else without them asking. For instance, I mowed my neighbor’s yard for her and every once in a while she will bake me cookies. I still mow it for free now.

Forth, I stopped watching the news and basically TV, and really only watch things I like on YouTube. I am slowly cutting out negativity in my life.

There are other life patterns I am changing and will go into some another time, but for me, these are the basics. I have realized I am going to fail, I will let myself down and other people, however, I am fully aware that I am the one who has to make those failures right with God and the people. I am telling you this because someone needs to hear it and this is what Hallowed Lake will stand upon. We will have strong foundations to build upon so Veterans can have a place to rest and “find themselves” again. We may never be the person we was before war, but we can be a stronger, better person then what our past would have us believe. Scott
