I'm a basket case about my son going "off" to college 45 minutes away! I'll be keeping Brock and his folks in my prayers, and saying a special prayer as they have to deal with the saying farewell part.<br />--Stacy A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951825325002946448.post-17742632795112662352011-05-27T13:51:07.876-07:002011-05-27T13:51:07.876-07:00Hi Diane,

As a mom with a son in the Marines, I know what it's like to send a son off and know a big chunk of my heart is going with him. Our son did a tour in Iraq and a year in Africa guarding one of our US embassies. I am proud of him, and I know your friend Teresa is proud of her son Brock too. <br /><br />Still it's challenging to trust the Lord and be so far apart. I also have a daughter who works for Samaritan's Purse in Sudan, so...that has been a challenge to release and bless them to follow where God calls them.<br />These verses from Psalm 139 have been a great comfort to me. <br />7 Where can I go from your Spirit? <br /> Where can I flee from your presence? <br />8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; <br /> if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. <br />9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, <br /> if I settle on the far side of the sea, <br />10 even there your hand will guide me, <br /> your right hand will hold me fast. <br /><br />God goes with Brock and He will draw close to Teresa. I will pray for them now.<br />Blessings,<br />CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.com
