33 Miles- Awesome Guys.

I just thought I would pass this along. I wrote this band to thank them for sharing their talent to bring God glory. I wrote to tell them how one of their songs called “hold on” is one that’s really spoken to me recently and they wrote me back!

“Hello Samantha, I can’t imagine what you’re having to go through having your hubby gone…you are making a huge sacrifice as well for something so important, thankyou thankyou thankyou. I will lift you guys up to the Lord and pray that He sustains you guys and lets your marriage thrive in an incredible way.Thanks for stopping by to say hey and tell what the Lord is doing in your lives.
God bless
Collin for 33Miles”

These guys are so cool. Check them out if you get a chance. Their songs are pretty much amazing.

Yay God!!

So, the past few days have been extremely full of prayer. Derek and his unit went out on a 4 day patrol. I couldn’t wait to find out that he had made it back safe and sound to his FOB. Four long days went by and I finally got a phone call from him as I was checking out at the store. He called me last night around 730pm and said that they accomplished so much! He sounded so exhausted from only having about 5 hours of sleep during the whole patrol. But, none the less, he called me and I finally got to hear his voice say “i love you and i’m coming home to you”. Ah, my fave words. God’s preotection is over him and I am so thankful for our Father. He is mighty to save.
