Prayer request

Ok, for most that know me, this is very hard for me to do, but I have a huge prayer request for my family. Let me start at the beginning. On Oct. 25, 2008, Hal took transferred to a new department within the Dept. of Defense. Unfortunately,he had to temporarily relocate to Boston, MA. At the time he left, we didn't know how long he would be gone. God miraculously stepped in, and he was able to relocate to Macon on Feb. 16, 2009. Sadly, that's where he has been ever since. He works four 10 hour shifts Mon-Thur, which allows him to be home every weekend. Needless to say, I live for Thursdays! The prayer request is for him to be transferred to a location within driving distance of home. We are a little encouraged, because there is some change coming in June, and his supervisor has told him that there would be 18 new openings within the Atlanta area. Please say a prayer that he may get one of these transfers. After 18 long months of separation, both of us are growing very weary. It is hard on him to be gone from his wife and daughters, and it is equally hard for us to have him gone. There are some days when I don't know how I am going to get through. I had one of those particularly bad days this past Thursday. The girls just could not get along with each other and it was getting the best of me. I know a lot of it has to do with Haleigh's ""terrible two's". To top it off, I found out about a ladies conference that was happening at FBC Woodstock that I really thought would do me some good, but it was sold out. Don't get me wrong, I love my girls dearly, but sometimes I need to be rejuvanated. So, if any of you ladies hear of a conference or retreat that might be of interest to me, then please let me know. I miss going to the Thursday morning Bible study on a regular basis, but that seems to always be the time that one or both of the girls are sick. I know it's an attack of the enemy.

Please understand that it is hard for me to ask for prayer. I want to pretend that everything is ok. Don't get me wrong, we are fine, but we just miss our hubby/daddy being at home like he should be. I really have such a deeper appreciation for women who truly are single moms. Lift them up in your prayers as well. It is not an easy job, but by God's grace, it can be done. It is the only way I have survived this long. Thank you so much for being such a supportive group of people. We love you and thank God for being a part of your lives.

Love,
Leigh Anne
