On Standby!

For those of you who read this I like to apologize for not posting in quite some time.
Mark and I are both working different schedules now and it has taken, and will continue to take, quite sometime to adjust. I am now working 12-9 pm and Mark leaves for work at 9pm and arrives home around 5:30 or 6 am. So, needless to say things here are not normal at all. We have heard from the Army and it looks like we are headed for Ft. Hood, Texas this coming fall. Mark will report to Ft. Jackson, SC the first week in June to attend CHOBLC, (Chaplains Officer Basic Leadership Course). It seems that I change my mind daily but as of right now the kids and I will stay in Crete through June and then we will go to Wyoming to spend so much needed time with my beloved sister & brother-in-law as well as my nieces & nephew's. I'm hoping we get to do some fun things this summer to help ease the hurt of moving yet again. I fear this will be the hardest move the kids have ever experienced and my heart hurts for them. There is part of me that would stay so that they can finish school, but family is so important and I don't want us to lose a minute of time together. We have such little time left with them. I don't want them to finish growing up without their daddy! I know that God will work in their young lives and make this okay for them. I would ask that you would all hold us in your prayers as there has been a lot of changes in our family as of late and we could use the extra prayers. Please know that we think of all of you often and give thanks that we have you as prayer warriors for us.
The one huge realization that my husband and I this past week is that we have lived hard and for as young as we are there is not much we have missed. Mark turned the big 40 today and we celebrate that God has led us to have so many wonderful experiences, to meet people near and far, to minister to even more and he has always managed to put people in our lives to lead us through each new situation we face.
Father, I lift my heart in praise to you today for your never failing love and guidance. Thank you for giving us the joy, the strength and the drive to move forward and to continue to serve you in a new and different way. I pray that you would provide, protect and fill us to overflowing so that we may pour ourselves out to be a blessing to another person. Love you so much....
Amen!
I wish you a day that is filled with enough grace, love and hope that you would be able to give of yourself freely!
