Prayers Needed!

I believe that most people know that Tony has been up for orders now for a while. For those of you that don't know, Tony will have served his four years sea duty come August. Since he decided to re-enlist, we have been in the process of picking and choosing orders (our next duty station) every month. He applies every month when new orders come out and waits to see if he is accepted for any of them. He can apply for three or four jobs at a time. So far, everything he has applied for has been on the East coast. We are desperately trying to get on the East coast to be closer to family. As of right now, it has been extremely difficult. He hasn't been chosen for any of the orders so far. We have been told that it is really difficult to move coast to coast. We feel like this is our only chance to make the move if it is going to happen at all. So, with all of that being said....March was the last month that he could choose for himself. If he isn't accepted for any of the orders he applied for, they will choose for us. If they pick for him, we will more than likely be staying here. We should know within the next couple of weeks whether he was chosen for any of the jobs he applied for this month. So, now I am asking for some much needed prayers. We want more than anything to be closer to home, but also know that whatever happens is all part of God's plan. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the next couple of weeks as we get ready to move on to the next phase of our military lives. I will give out more details as they come along!

Father let your will be done, give them peace that where ever they end up you will be right there holding their hands along the way. We pray father, that if it is your will, that you will bring them closer to family so that they can have the support of their family close by, but if it is not your will Lord gide them show them how to find peace and happiness in you for you are the reason we all are here today, help us to live for you. In Jesus name, Amen!
