I JUST FOUND THIS SITE TODAY. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING TO FIND SUPPORT FOR ME AND MY FIANCE' JAY IN IRAQ. WITHOUT OUR FAITH IN GOD DURING OUR SEPERATION IT WOULD BE UNIMAGINABLE LIVING DAY TO DAY. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT TIME BEING APART FROM THE PERSON YOU FEEL GOD SENT AS YOUR SOULMATE KNOWING THE DANGERS HE ENDURES EVERY MINUTE SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME. WE RELY STRONGLY ON OUR FAITH IN GOD TO PROTECT JAY FROM ANY HARM AND RETURN HIM SAFE ONE DAY. JAYS DEPLOYMENT HAS DRAWN US BOTH CLOSER TO OUR AWESOME LORD AND SAVIOR. WHEN WE STRUGGLE WITH FEARS AND DOUBTS, WE PRAY FOR GODS HELP, AND THERE IS A SOOTHING PEACE THAT FILLS OUR HEARTS. WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE HAVE! I THANK HIM SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE FOR US!

I would like to also say that it is not always the wife that is left behind. In my case I left behind my husband when I deployed for 4 1/2 months to Cyprus. We are christians and we relied on our faith during my absence. I believe that our faith even got stronger because of my deployment. I was able to attend church of a different faith in my deployed location but I was glad for the opportunity.
