Yes, SailorMomLisa, our new (4 y.o.) brick home burned to the ground and no one could figure out why. God had a plan, though, (Jeremiah 29:11) and no one was hurt, and He did give us beauty for ashes. All things work together for good...(Romans 8:28)
I also am thankful for the 'prayer attitude' of this group. Prayer is a mighty powerful tool
My son is standing right next to yours NYRican! He is 2 over from the male RDC, smiling, head tilted. It's so great to "see" them. The smiles make this all easier!
Praying for your "special intention" navymommo.
Wow, Willsmom, you lost everything in a house fire last August? How traumatic, hopefully everyone was ok! I agree with navymommo, the Navy RTC page is a great place to have your question answered.
YAY, Rackie! So glad your FIL & family will be at your hubby's PIR! ...and you made it home safely!
Navymommo...I will keep you in my prayers today, and would request that you keep me in yours. I won't share the details of the request, but God knows. Thank you.
Thanks for the ID card info. :)
NYRican-your son does look good! Isn't it a blessing to be able to have this wonderful surprise of seeing them??? My son is on the right side of the pic; female RDC, two female SRs, my son! Yippee Yi Aye!!!! Can't wait until PIR (15 days!) to see him!
AMEN, Rackie!!! Praise God for His goodness and His mercy! So thankful to hear your FIL got his visa! I've been praying for you, him, and all of us and our SRs! God bless us all!
