Got a phone call from this guy! So very very good to hear his voice again. The SAT phones break a lot, so calls are still sparse.
Their time there is winding down and oh so close....not too much longer before they will be boarding trucks to head back towards Leatherneck.
We pray constantly for him and all of those great guys and wait expectantly to get that message saying they are out of the combat zone. The last days are almost as hard for us over here as the first days... of course it will start all over for another battalion full of guys taking their place, .. whose families will wait and pray... God keep them all.
So much is going on right now. Life events here in our home keep us talking to God often, which is a GOOD thing. We are glad to know that there is ONE who is in total control of all things....and we can lay the burdens and desires of our hearts down before Him, and trust that all will work out for good.
Blessings and Courage to all who drop in here today....
Yay for that call...and yay that we can call upon Him, I wonder if he waits for our calls too? God bless that good son of yours, may he come home soon and I pray that I, and all of us, will see the day when there is no need for war anymore. :D
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you got that call! I am praying for your sweet Justin's safe return! Everytime I hear of something bad happening over there... I pray that your Son was somewhere else! Life events keep us all in steady contact with our God! I love that verse, BE STILL:)

Praise The Lord!!! Oh, Julie I am so happy for you. Those last miles of the trip are the longest but the wait is worth it. I am praying for their safe return and for all our military men and women. Still no word in our waiting but we are waiting with confidence. Hugs and blessings.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your
ReplyDeletesweet blessings and

boomerang, they are
heading right back
atcha! Happy to hear

what you mean about
wanting to throw the
doors and windows wide;
I get tired of A/C

Julie, just a little while longer and then your son will be home!!! Yay!! Still praying for him. It is good to know that there is someone "up there" in control... I need that daily reminder, so I won't worry about everything.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! You must be SO proud of your son... and I can't imagine how happy you must be since he is coming home soon. One of my sons best friends left for Afghanistan this week. He is a gunner on a convoy and we are all holding him up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments on my blog!
I really like your blog... it is such an inspiration! Your quote from Elizabeth George... is so true!
Blessings to you!
Janet
Prayers always
