It's strange how things work out sometimes I think. Seven years ago my husband was sent to a ship in the gulf. He was quite excited by that trip, they had alot of planned stops to places he hadn't been such as India. He never made it to India as three weeks later Sept. 11 happened. I was pregnant at the time with my youngest child when I saw the planes hit the towers on my tv here in England and well I am sure we all had sick feelings in the pit of our stomachs that day.

Now it's all coming back to me as strangely enough, he is again being sent back to the gulf next month. On the same day of the same month he was sent last time. And the state of the world is again crazy, maybe more crazy then before. I hope not. Anyway I hope you will keep my husband in your prayers and those like him not just in the US forces but also in the allied forces world wide who fight for us. While I am American by birth my husband is British. One thing is for sure, we are in this together like it or no. I know not everyone supports the wars we fight. I do not always either but I do try my hardest to support those fighting those wars. Thanks in advance.

Dear Melangel,
I want to lift you and your husband up to the Lord.
Dear Lord, I pray that Your blessings and safety would surround this family and keep them together in Your Holy Spirit. I pray that You would help them to hope only in CHrist and that You Lord would make them understand that ALL things work together for good to those that love You and those that are the called according to Your purpose. I pray for peace in their hearts and minds, I pray that You Father would help this family to truly know that You are a Father to His children no matter where they are and no matter what circumstance is going on around them, whether they are together or apart, Your Spirit truly unites us. I pray to You Father for their safety and peace as they go through this physical seperation together.
Through Jesus Your Son I pray,
Amen
Many blessings to you melangel.
In Christ alone,
Chris

Father,
Protect your children that are called by your name in these dangerous times.
May this be a time that many will call upon your name and find you, where ever
they may be.
May guardian angels surround the camp of your people around this world. And
may your name come upon their lips.
May many see the army of the Lord and put down their weapons and be saved
out of the strife, and may the weapons be made into pruning hooks at your
appearance.
Amen

Whew sweetie! I am really sorry.

My heart is really crushed for you. I am praying for you and your husband. May the Lord give you peace in your heart and safety for the days ahead.
Whew... I just cannot help but think this is not a coincidence. Seek the Lord for a prophetic connection... is the Lord revealing something here? I pray that He gives us eyes to see in these days!
My prayers are with you,
Valerie

Thank you so much. Gosh I don't know you people but I do love you.
Valerie I think I agree with you. Does God do coincidence? I don't think so. Seven years to the day... I hope so much for understanding in this.

Melangel, I do appreciate your post and it seems appropriate that you as an American married a Brit and that we're fighting together. May your husband safely return to you and God bless you both through this time of separation. I know it will be tough, thank you both for your sacrifice. We love you too!
