your prayers please.
I am not one that usually asks for much, except idea's, recipes and so on... :) but I have a huge favor to ask everyone who stops by my blog today and for everday till the war is over in Iraq. My nephew, Chism, is in Afganistan as we speak. He was shipped there Friday and is loading on a truck right now to take his first trip into the fighting. My sister in law just got off of the phone with him and we are all having a bit of a bad day with this. He's only 18 and joined on his own, his dad is a real jerk and basicaly he wanted out of home. So if you could all pray for him I would be forever grateful, he is a good kid with lots he needs to learn. He said that there are mortar shells going off all of the time and that they are so tired it's hard to function. So please pray for him, cuz that is all we can do and I know that God hears prayers and answers them according to His will. Please pray His will be done in Chism's life and that he is right in his heart with the Lord if somthing should happen to him. Thank you all again in advance - I truley appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. God be with you all.

I come from a long line of military. I served for 6 years in the Air national Guard and my husband is in his 22nd year in the Air National Guard. I have nothing but admiration, respect and worry for our troops. I will say a prayer for him. Also, when deployed the most valuable thing you can receive are letters and packages from home. They mean everything. Maybe he and his buddies can be adopted by some folks back here and receive care packages... just a thought. I'd be willing to help. Sincerely, Heide
Thank you both so much. It means a lot to me to be able to tell you guys how I feel. I appreciate your prayers for him.. he needs them. Thanks to you Heide and your husband for serving our country so well.
I will be praying for his safety and salvation.
I said a prayer and ask for God's hand of protection over him. {HUGS}
