Literally. Mike will be going downrange this spring...he'll also be gone a minimum of 7 months - ILA. He has been told he'll have 1 to 1 1/2 months combat training. THIS is when it hit me - combat? He doesn't carry a weapon? He's never done combat training for the past 3 deployments? What is up? Then I knew. It is common to send the from here for the training and then immediately on to the "site". Is it the same with you being in AK? We are begging and praying that they will let him do his training in Jan/Feb and be home for March. He's to be in country 1 April. I have two overseas trips planned in March. I can't wrap my mind around this. I have always feared my husband wearing the cross into a muslim country and being a POW....yeah...I have an imagination...but he informs me he will wear the cross and he will be in a muslim country - you can imagine the fight the enemy has begun in my thought life as I struggle to take each and every thought captive to HIS Lordship. I'll be praying for you. Pray for me. If you ever want to write off line, you know how to find me. I figure, like me, you are adept at slapping yourself with the Word - and much as that is need at times...from me, at this moment, you get hugs and prayers. .-= De'Etta @ Choosing Joy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/TiEh/~3/K8usFKdpt_E/misawa-aviation-museum.html" rel="nofollow">Misawa Aviation Museum</a> =-. Kristine,

I’m in the same boat. Literally. Mike will be going downrange this spring…he’ll also be gone a minimum of 7 months – ILA. He has been told he’ll have 1 to 1 1/2 months combat training.

I have always feared my husband wearing the cross into a muslim country and being a POW….yeah…I have an imagination…but he informs me he will wear the cross and he will be in a muslim country – you can imagine the fight the enemy has begun in my thought life as I struggle to take each and every thought captive to HIS Lordship.

I’ll be praying for you. Pray for me. If you ever want to write off line, you know how to find me.

I figure, like me, you are adept at slapping yourself with the Word – and much as that is need at times…from me, at this moment, you get hugs and prayers.

I will be lifting you all up in prayer. My Dh was in the Navy and there was one deployment that all we heard from them was when we saw the ship on CNN. That was before email!

I do understand. You don't always have to be the rock. I do understand about having that place though. It is hard, and sometimes it is where we are to be, but we do need comfort and to be taken care of by others sometimes. May you find that Shalom and be blessed in your home.

May he give you the peace that can only come from knowing Him. May those on the battlefield know that the presence of the Lord is near through the ministry of your husband and those that need to know Christ personally, invite Him into their heart because God has used your husband to share God's love with them. We are instructed each day to put on the whole armor of God to prepare us for the spiritual battle that we will face. Now, like never before, is the time to put it on and depend upon the Lord. Lord in heaven, guard this family. Protect this husband. Give this wife and mother the strength, courage, mercy and grace to face the days ahead. Allow them to celebrate a homecoming and continue to honor and glorify Your name every day. Amen. .-= DrillerAA´s last blog ..<a href="http://drilleraa.blogspot.com/2009/12/blog-post.html" rel="nofollow">A Life Well Lived</a> =-. May the God of all creation calm your every fear.
