OUTNUMBERED AND LOVING IT

It's a God thing weekend.... **added new picture from my husband**

Linking up with Minivan Diva this weekend for it's a God thing weekend and you should too!


"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."~ John 15:13

This weekend my husband, on the left, and his friend, the one in the middle, are in St. Louis celebrating the life of a fallen soldier and more importantly the life a a friend.  SSG Michael Deason was killed August 31st, 2006.  It has been 5 years since he gave his life for our freedom and I thank him daily for it.  Please take a minute to say a prayer for his family today.  They are dedicating a highway in his name in MO today.  I know they are proud but hurting at the same time.

What's the God thing in your life?

My husband had the opportunity to visit his friends grave after 5 years.  I am sure it was hard for him, but I know he needed to do this.  I am so proud to be his wife, he is an amazing man, soldier and friend.




Gone but never forgotten, SSG Deason.

I have to tell you that I had goosebumps while reading this post. Head to toe goosebumps. I am saying a prayer for his family and friends. I am so grateful for the brave men and women who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for our protection and freedom. I am also thankful for spouses like you who support those who are serving.

During Chad's first deployment to Iraq we lost so many good friends. Our company lost 9 out of the 10 lost in the Battalion. It hurts and always will. That company we were with are planning a huge family reunion next summer, if we're back in the states we plan on making it if Chad's not deployed. Those guys have all made sure that none of the 9 are forgotten.
