I am grateful for all the past prayers and replies to my post.  I read them all many times.  My husband, David, has been gone in training since June and is heading to Iraq from Kuwait TODAY.  (He was in the part-time National Guard when he asked to go with another unit.  We haven't ever had to deal with anything like this and we are 5 hours away from the other families and support group and I know none of them.)  We have all heard about the convoy bombings and it is a scary trip.  Please pray extra for him over the next few days.  My fourth child is due New Year's Day and I am having many contractions so I know it will be soon.  With the holidays approaching it is getting emotionally very difficult to stay strong, especially for my children.  My oldest who is 7 is having a hard time being without daddy for the first time. Thank you again for your specific prayers-I know God is good and will help me through this, but my faith falters occasionally and I feel very weak.

I'll pray for you.  Keep your faith.  Keep your eyes looking strait at God.  He has seen me threw tough times.  Sometimes you wonder how you are going to make it, but you see Him work in ways that you would never think would happen.

I am praying for you. It is especially more difficult being that the holiday is coming. But dont let that emotionally affect you. The holiday seems like a time where families can get together and be merry; but God is beyond the holiday and I assure you that your family will be together and be merry forever. God is with you, your children, and your husband.
