OT- Prayers needed
57

This afternoon Rob received a call from his National Guard Unit. He's officially on alert. He's been told to get all of his gear and paperwork together. Will, POA, ATM Card etc. His physical was scheduled for August and now that has been pushed up to this weekend. This was supposed to be a normal weekend, but now he's been told to bring an overnight bag and to be prepared to stay. This "feels" entirely different from when he was activated as security after 9/11. I would appreciate a prayer for his safety if you have a chance.

Love,

Mel

Mel,

You don't even need to ask. I will most assuredly lift him up for protection and you for strength and comfort, and the little ones for the same. If he does go over there you need to let us know how to contact him so we can entertain him as well as we entertain and share with you.

HUGS sweetie I know this is hard. But God will prevail and His will is prefect.

Thank you so much, Karrie. It means alot to me to be able to come here and get it out. I cornered poor April on the msgr and cried into her coffee and I know that I will be able to do what I have to do to make Rob proud of me, no matter what. Even when I can't be strong for me, I can be strong for him and for my kids. I know he'd do the same for me. And I know he's being looked after.

Love,

Mel

Hold on and don't worry too much. Ya'll don't know yet. But you are right he is going to be looked after. You can't get any better looking after than the Great One.

Mel,

I will certainly say a prayer for you, your family and mostly for Rob. This is a wonderful thing that he is doing for his country. I can't even imagine what you're going through right now, but I will pray for strength for you and your kids and safety for him.

God Bless.

Oh Mel, I have been there far too many times. I think it is harder for us than the "guys" because they are so busy getting ready etc. I can remember staying up all night praying that he would not be sent places. But as much as I hated it we got through it. Let me know if you need anything or just some support. sharla

*** Remember don't post if he is sent anywhere or where he is going or when he is going for reasons of operational security. We are not the only ones that read the boards and it doesn't take much info for people to piece together info.***
