Deployments are a big part of the Army in this day in age and since I'm a card carrying member of the great US Army it's my turn! In the next few weeks I will spending as much time as possible with Renee and all the Special Ks. I will cherish every moment, every laugh, every tear shed, and everything else I can cherish with them. It's not that I don't all the time, it's just a simple fact that I know I will be missing a lot of little things in my kids lives and really to any parent it's the little things that you remember most. My blog has been the last thing in my mind in these last few months but I have a feeling this will be a good outlet for me. I will be able to share my journey to Afghanistan with all of you 3 or 4 readers (Ha!). We will see what this deployment brings for me and for my baby and my kiddos here at home. Stay Tuned...

Psalm 32:6-8 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found : surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will guide thee with mine eye.

You know we'll be praying for you Frank! My unit, 19th psy. op., deployed to Iraq during Desert storm, however I stayed stateside. Even so, I can only imagine the stress you're feeling right now as you prepare to leave. As you try to burn the images of the kids and Renee into your mind, feel their kisses, a hand on your face, smell their hair fresh from a bath, the sounds of their laughter, and their tears. I'm praising God for things like Skype, email, and other advances in technology that allow families to stay connected even in the most difficult of times. Hugs Frank, and thank you for giving yourself to all of us.
Glad to see you back on here but totally understand how this is the last thing on your mind. I hope you enjoy these next few weeks. Thank you for your service to our country!
Thanks so much for your willingness to go and preserve our freedoms! We really do appreciate you! I'll keep praying, and stay in touch with your precious family. Keep updating us, so we know how YOU are doing!

John 14:1-4: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

I Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 31:1-3 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Isaiah 43:1-3a But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour...

Psalm 31:9-10, 14-15a Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed...But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand:

Psalm 34:1-4 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:5-8 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Stopping by to let you know I'm still here, still praying!
II Corinthians 12:8-10 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Romans 5:6-9 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
