Oh Caroline, I am so sorry for this news for your family. I can’t imagine all the emotions that you and the others are feeling or have felt in the past. I will be praying for you and your family. I know that God is in control and that He will give you the grace to walk whatever path He has for you.
Rachel, OH my gosh just found out this past week..I am so sorry. I will be praying for you also.
May you both feel God’s peace and assurance in special measure today.

I hope that you have found comfort today. In a way, it is encouraging to see how many here are military families. We are too (Air Force).
I have always found that the Lord is in control of our lives and even the military. He sends us where He needs us – families and spouses. We can kick and scream all we want about hole-in-the-wall assignments, but there is always a reason; even if it takes us years to figure it out. I truly believe each of our orders were divinely inspired. As were his deployments. They taught me to accept charity instead of just give it. And we grew closer as a family and surprisingly, it strengthened our marriage.
I guess what I’m saying is I really hope he doesn’t deploy, but if he does the Lord will provide. Wonderful blessings will come to your family as you grow and sacrifice.
And I’d also like to give a big shout-out to all those who do sacrifice for this country. We pray for you daily. Thank you. And God bless.

Heather, that really touched my heart. I have a little story to tell that bears our what you just said. My mom died of cancer and was buried on my birthday when I was 27. It was the hardest day of my life. Three weeks later we moved across the country for the military to a place I had never been and was scared to death. I had lost 30 pounds from stress and was skin and bones and very unhealthy with severe tinnitus (ear ringing) I wanted to die; I was just so spent.
but… over the next two years I found a closer relationship to God and my marriage grew stonger through that tumultuous time. We had always lived in the shadow of family and hadn’t solidified as a married couple. We were both more children of our parents than spouses to each other. Being alone in a strange place was the best thing that ever happened to us. I had always loved God, but His word was the only thing that fed me during that time and He somehow lifted me out of despair for I realized that He wouldn’t/couldn’t fail me.
I guess I just wanted to say that I know God has had a hand in all 12 of our moves and he will guide this one as well. I will somehow manage without the man that means everything to me. I still pray we can stay together and go home and farm and be the normal family I have been craving, but that is for God to decide not me.
This board is such a blessing. Words cannot express how much you have helped me. 🙂
I just have to say a big hearty thank-you to all you military families!!!!!! For giving up your dear husbands as they may be put in harm’s way, for handling life as a single parent while they are gone, for all the moving around that you often have to do, for all the stress you deal with big and little. Wow! It touches my heart what you do to protect and defend. May God give you extra special strength and peace to endure. I will keep you all in my prayers and keep us posted as to specific things you need prayer over. THANK-YOU!
Blessings,

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!I just got word that they will not be moblizing people who are already mobilzed–namely my husband and his bosses. I am so excited I could bust. Now we may actually get to retire and hang out on our farm and get chickens, goats, Dexter cattle…. I think 24 years is enough, but we will PRAY about it and do what He leads us to do…
Caroline,
I’m so happy for you! I can’t imagine what a relief you must feel. Praise God for His faithfulness!
Faith 🙂
Praise God Caroline for this wonderful news. I do hope that soon you will all be enjoying retirement and your farm and that now you feel a whole lot better.
Rachel, I will keep you in my heart and prayers, and pray that your husband has a safe deployment along with all the others serving this great country. If you ever need a specific prayer, please ask. God bless you all.
A favorite quote of mine
Trials are not enemies of FAITH but are opportunities to prove God’s FAITHFULNESS

Hooray!!! I’m rejoicing with you today, how wonderful it is when families get to stay together! Hopefully my hubby won’t be gone too long then you can all rejoice with me at his safe return
I consider times like these to be tremendous “trust opportunities” when my roots can grow deeper into Christ’s abiding peace. Thanks for your prayers, what a terrific group of ladies y’all are!Rachel
