Prayers!

I have a few prayer request!

1.

My dear friend is dealing with the chance that her husband will be deploying to Afgan. This really became a shocker! They are trying to adopted baby Anthony!

2.

I have another dear friend that is worried about her husband that is in Afgan, he isnt dealing well mentally!

3.

Another friend is heart broken because of the choices that her daughter has made!

Lord,Please give them the peace that they need during this time!

Thank you for that peace!

Goals!

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”- Philippians 3:14

daily verse from Bible gateway

As a child this was one of the many verses that stood out to me,i remember that it was mainly used before a race,a game.

But, as an adult I read those words and what goes thru my mind is to be the mother and wife that God want me to be!

The last 2 weeks have been hard and how many times I wanted to throw up my hands and say Im tired! But as I face our new life the goal that God want me to press on towards is to keep my families eye on Christ! That we will win the prize when the Lord comes back!

FAITH

Hebrews 11:1 New International Version

By Faith

¹Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

My verse for today!

Faith,living everyday by faith,hope,love

What a week!!

Last Sat. we took a trip to the ER with Duane! Wednesday we took another trip to the ER! I hope that is our last!!

It has been a week for TBI and PTSD!!

Duane was taken off work on Tuesday because of it for 72 hours! Then on Wednesday he came to me and said his famous words " Angie I dont want to scare you, I just want you to know" When I hear those words I know we need to take action(ive only heard them 1 other time)

So I made a phone call and was told that we need to head to the ER! So off we went So after some major pain killer (i would have been dead) we still were not well!! So after many hours we headed home,than got 2-3 hours of sleep! we were back up at the dr at 8am. We did learn of some new treatments that I pray will help Duane. He came home with much more meds and also giving himself shots now! Today he got up and said "im going to clean the garage" Of course I said NO ,you need to rest an hour layer he was taking a nap!!

Thru all this im learning alot about my new husband and the new me! Life will never be the same for us and that ok! God is blessing us in ways that I would have never thought!

I have a wonderful family and friends!

If things are bad all I have to do is text and say we needs prayers now and I have them,in ways of prayers over text and text that just say praying for you all!

I even wonder what it would be life not to have Christ on our side,what do non-believers do when they are in crisis?? God, you are great!

A great thing!

As I have talked about in post before,Duane has found some peace in being around horses!

I have found a great organization that help people like Duane!

prayers!

Keep us in your prayers! Duane was told by the dr that he was sending him home for 3 days!

Down hill again!

Its just a blessed day!

Its after 9 pm here and I feel so tired that I really should go to bed, but instead I thought I would make a batch of cookies for our journey tomorrow!

Duane has had a night that is so hard for me to see.

The only way I can tell you is that he says my body wont work! Cyle and Codie helped him to the restroom, than into bed! It is so hard to see him this way! But this is a result of a very busy week at work for him!

But Im blessed to have him home with me and blessed that he choose me for his wife,blessed that he is alive!

Thank you Lord!

Different kinds of healing!!

So i sit and go thru the hundreds of pictures that I took over the 4th of July,I sit and think about healing. How God uses things to heal.

I can honestly tell you that healing is alive, after 3 years I watched my husband hurt,i mean really hurt both physically,mentally,and spiritually!

Over the weekend I saw his heart being healed!

How? A horse. My brothers horse.

I have heard that it truly works,I was at a radio broadcast for the military a few months ago,I met a lady that talking about how horses heal!

I can honestly now say that I witnessed it.God used that horse that day to help heal Duanes heart!

So after that is said I will be studying about healing, Thur Gods word,and how he uses think(like the horses).

If anyone has some in site please share!

Rhonda I need that CD!!

home and on the road!!

Duane is home from the 5 week stay in the hospital! If I had to descibe him now I would say on edge. He really wanted to see codie and cyle, so at this tome we are sitting in Goodland Ks,in the lobby of an Holiday Inn waiting for our room to be cleaned(its 11:20pm) We are learning so much 1> Duane doesnt do well at night driving(even me driving) i learned that while he was Iraq he was on the road at night,he had a driver and Duane had to watch everything around them IED,roadside bombs, light everything! So after dark is not good!! Before Iraq we would put this kids to bed in the car and off we would go 10-12 hours! Not now! We are learning and healing! Keep us in your prayers during this long weekend! Peace for Duane!
