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.
