The Lord is my Strength

Praise God for He does not give us more than we can handle....after a week as this, mainly a day like Friday was, I have to keep telling myself "The Lord will not give us more than we can handle!"

I first want to ask for an unspoken prayer request for my family...please just keep them in your prayers these next few weeks in that God will give them strength, peace and wisdom.

Also, please keep praying for our friends Lauren and her hubby Darin and all of their family. She sent out an update yesterday and here is the summary of the continued prayer request "Please pray for my dad and his decision about which treatment to do as well as safe travels for he and Pat. Please pray for Darin's mom, Marlene, that the scans next week don't show the cancer anywhere else and that she will be comfortable with the treatment options."

And one last bit of info we also got this week was that Jason will most likely be leaving at the end of July beginning of August to go to Colorado for training before he heads downrange. He does not know any of the specifics of when he will leave and how long he will get to come back here before heading downrange. So please be praying for us as his "4" month deployment is now turning into "5-6" months give or take a few weeks with all the waiting times he will go through as he makes his way downrange. And not to be selfish, but I have 2 weeks in August off in school and we were going to go on a vacation...seeing we normally go on vacation when he returns and I will be in school and can't go, we were going to use these 2 weeks for that vacation time...and of course it has been nixed due to the training.

On to a few praise reports....Chris, my brother, is closing his business and has a new job lined up and will begin on June 23. He will be working for SRP Federal Credit Union, under the supervision of the Great Ed Templeton! Chris will be maintaining all of the buildings. This is a HUGE blessing for him and he has been very patient in the waiting of this door to be opened. Also, I just received my acceptance letter today for another scholarship that I applied for, the HAP Arnold Grant. I have been awarded $2,000. Praise God!

I pray you all have a wonderful weekend!
