I'm not even sure how to begin this post. It's been so long since I've written anything - or at least finished it. Several times I would begin to write, but the words just wouldn't flow so I gave up. Time is drawing near and my heart aches. We've spent as much time together as possible - another reason I fail to post much on my blog these days - but it doesn't seem like enough when I compare it to the time we will have to be apart.
Thank you to each of you who have written recently to tell me how I've ministered to you through my blog, or told me you are praying for me and my family. That has ministered to my heart! I have so many wonderful friends through this blog and I'm so very thankful for that. Hang with me through this time of few-and-far-between posts, or little communication via email or facebook. Each of you holds a special place in my heart and I cherish our friendship. Thank you for sticking with me and sharing how God is working in your life right now. I'm happy to say we have new chaplains who recently began their ministry, or have word they have been accepted, so I'm thrilled about that and celebrate with them! Praise the Lord!
Again, thank you, friends, for your love, encouragement and prayers. Soon enough I'll be back to writing more often and keeping in touch better. For now, it will continue to be few-and-far-between when I post as I minister to my husband and family as time draws near.

Laura you are such a blessing to us all! We are certainly keeping you lifted up in prayer. Love, Julie
Praying for you and your family as your time draws near.
Oh, how we, spouses, understand those last precious days before we have to do what we do . . . it's hard, it's not fun, but God gives us His strength. That first day is the hardest, but then we get into our new norm and move into the next day, and the next, and then one day its R&R and then redeployment. What an example of God's love and provision as He circles us with godly people - praying for you, laughing with you, and even crying with you - but what better place to be, right in the middle of His love! I am praying for you! Know that I'm only a phone call away - any time - any day!!
Love,
Sheryll
