Prayer Request

[Reformed Presby]

Dear Friends and loved ones,

I am requesting prayer for God's direction in my and my families lives. We are scheduled to leave the military in Feb 2006. To be frank with you, the army is no place to raise a family. I see my wife LESS than 3 hours a day, and my son sees her the same amount. She is on call all the time, comes home at 6pm on a regular basis, and it has been almost 3 years since we have been able to take anything that even remotely resembles a "family vacation." I am starting to feel like I am still in the military, and my wife seems to be little more than an indentured servant of the military. She is missing the growing up of our son, who is now 5.

Military life is really starting to take a toll on me and my family.
I have been investigating several opportunites, and I feel that God is calling me BACK to hawaii. I am currently seeking employment there via the internet (browsing web sites), and I am also looking into a few "ministry opportunities" as well.

I am getting older, and the moving every 2-3 years is getting very OLD.
I am thankful for God's providence, but again the military life is really starting to get to me. Again, it is NO WAY TO RAISE A FAMILY!
Especially in times of military conflict.

Please pray for me that God will reveal His will to me in this matter, and also for sustaining grace to endure the hardships and trials I am being forced to endure as a military spouse.

God Bless and thanks

I will indeed take it to the Lord in prayer.

Have we trails and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
