My niece Lauren who is in the army is headed out today, overseas. She can't tell us exactly where she is going but we are pretty certain of where she will be.
She is a beautiful, brave woman and I am appreciating her sacrifice so much as she goes off today, away from her "normal" life, and her beloved husband Steve as she goes to protect all of us.
She is proud to go and that makes me admire her all the more. I believe she goes with God's blessing and we will be lifting her in prayer daily.
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
If you want to check on her she has a blog of her own Laurne . I don't know how much time she will have to write but I hope we get to hear from her while she is away.
God speed Lauren, we love you.

Mr. C and I have a couple of friends who are shipping back out overseas. I know we appreciate everything they do for us! I hope her time goes by quickly over there and she returns before you know it!
