My husband shared some information with me this week, and I would ask you all to pray for him/us. My husband is not a Christian, and he is in the military. I feel very strongly, that I would like for him to retire when his time is up. (2 years and some change left) He goes back and forth between wanting to retire and wanting to stay in longer for a better pension. I honestly don't know his choice from one week to the next. I have told him that I would like him to retire when he can, (because I feel our life is on hold and am ready to settle in a real home and begin carrying out all those plans that we have {Lord willing}....I didn't tell him that I don't like what is going on in the world and don't want him part of the military any more) and have left the rest up to him. This week a civilian friend put his name in as a recommendation for a civilian job that will be opening up around the time dh can retire, and actually in TN where we plan to retire as well. I would ask that you all pray for God's leading and His will in all of this. I feel like a top that is spinning around and around and have no idea where or when we will land. |

Certainly will pray...but one thing comes to mind...you said: "I didn't tell him that I don't like what is going on in the world and don't want him part of the military any more) and have left the rest up to him." If you do not share with him the strong feeling you have on this, you are taking a chance of him not making a huge decision without your input. I know I always come off with unsolicited advice, but would you really wanting him making such a serious decision while being so short changed on information that he critically needs to make it? Is there any other thing more important than your feelings as his wife concerning thi ??? |

Brother, unsolicited but welcome just the same :) I have expressed some of my viewpoints with him, but it is very difficult as I have to be especially careful how I present them. He comes from a long line of military men, and anytime you raise questions about the motives or purposes behind war-related decisions, the "liberal" label is quick to come up. Jeff is a good man and a very good leader and he doesn't like politics or any kind of talk like that. He just likes to do his job, working on helicopters. I actually have wanted to talk further with him about my reasons, but don't know how to broach the subject, as he is also not open to any sort of "bible talk" either. So I would suggest that this is also a prayer request for myself, and the wisdom of how to handle this. |
