Psalm 112:7

"He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord" -Psalm 112:7

This verse has been my comfort throughout this deployment. But last month it definitely rang true in my heart.
As Aaron's deployment is coming to a close, we can see the finish line in the distance. January was a month of excitement with rumors of a him coming home in February. And with the new year i had been trying to get my spiritual life back on track. Thank goodness for that!

January 3, 2011 i receieved a phone call at 7 a.m. from Aaron. It started off with him asking "Are you sitting down?"
I couldn't even think...i just asked him to tell me what was up. He then continued to tell me that when he had been out on mission his truck hit an IED and it blew up. He was injured pretty badly, a big gash in his head, his arms and legs were cut and while he was saying all this all i could do was pray "Thank you God!"

At the end of the conversation i barely knew what exactly he had said as to what kind of injuries he sustained, but i knew that Aaron had called me, not someone else, and he was going to be ok. I had the peace that is so amazing i can't even explain it, except to say that one of the verses i had been dwelling on lately was Psalm 112:7 "He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord."

How awesome is our God?!

Now im here in New York waiting for Aaron to get home, and there are some delays and such with other groups returning because of weather and such, but i am confident and waiting on God's perfect timing to have my husband back home with me <3

That's All, i just had to share that :)

Thank you for the continued prayers for Aaron and me, and all the other soldiers over there waiting anxiously for their return home! <3
