Change of Plans

Jordan’s orders have changed once again.

Whereas he previously was ordered to Iraq to run convoys (one of the most very dangerous duties that could be assigned) he now has been told that he will be going to Afghanistan to guard prisoners.

I never thought that finding out that my little brother would be going to Afghanistan to guard war prisoners would be good news, but it is. As scary as this order is, it is better than what we previously thought he would be doing. He must report for training (we still are sure on the location of this training, but it will be somewhere in the United States) on or before September 25. He will then report for duty in Afghanistan on or before November 2. He will be there for at least six months.

We have certainly learned that his orders can change at any time. I will keep you updated the best I can.



Please join me in praying for the following:

-If the orders do change again, that it would again be for the better.

-Continue to pray for his safety and strength once he begins his deployment

-Continued peace in God for our family as we send our brother/son/grandson/boyfriend/etc. to war.

-That we as a family will be able to show our faith in God instead of sinfully worrying during this time.

-The many men and women already serving our country all over the world, and the families leave behind.

- Our government officials making decisions about our involvement in other countries affairs.

-Peace.
