I am praying for you. Request a hardship assignment. I'm not sure which branch you're in but they each have different names for it. A friend of mine was assigned to go to Turkey but her dad fell ill and her mother had a stroke and they re-assigned her to the base closest to her home until she could get something in place to handle her parents. She was there for 2 years before she shipped out to a different assignment and by then she had help for her Dad in place.

I hope this suggestion helps.

Flanny,

Thank you for your response and your prayers. My husband was home for two weeks from Iraq. He deployed back in February. He was unable to stay, but I have family and friends caring for me. The Lord provides. Although I would have preferred to have my husband here, it was not possible. With the peace of God that passes all understanding, I go forward praying that I will exemplify the goodness of Jesus to all that I come in contact with during this time.

This whole situation has allowed me to see the Lord's hand at work in my life and the lives of others and I am thankful.

I read something that Stonewall Jackson wrote and it sums up the way I feel.

“On May 2, 1863, the seemingly invincible Confederate Army won a tremendous victory at Chancellorville. This victory was offset by the setback of General Stonewall losing his left arm. The next day, when visited by Chaplain Lacy, Jackson remarked: You see me severely wounded but not depressed....I am sure that my Heavenly Father designs this affliction for my good. I am perfectly satisfied, that either in this life, or in that which is to come, I shall discover that what is now regarded as a calamity, is a blessing.... If it were in my power to replace my arm, I would not dare to do it, unless I could know it was the will of my Heavenly Father.” [From ‘American Quotations’, collected by William J Federer’]

Thank you again, Flanny, for your prayers.

Stefanie
