Prayers for my David...

Well he's not officially MY David, but close enough. Dan's brother, David, deployed with the 24th MEU about a month ago. A MEU is a Marine Expeditionary Unit; a huge battleship that floats around waiting for something to happen. They are called the 911 force because they can be anywhere within 24 hours and sustain themselves for 30 days, militarily speaking. On board is a battalion of Marines (800-1000), tons of air support and tons of other things making them able to kick butt if needed. So when he left last month, they actually went to Haiti for a while to help with that situation, and are now headed to the Mediterranean. So, bottom line, I just wanted to put it out there so that my prayer warriors could lift him and his sweet wife, Callie, up to our Lord.



David and Callie
The other amazing news from this sweet couple is after 3 long years, in God's perfect timing, Callie is expecting a baby. They found out the day before David left. Such a blessing...and even more so, Callie is feeling great! I know they covet your prayers in all these areas!

Thank you so much for sharing... I was getting quite worried reading through that post wondering if something was wrong. SO THRILLED that it was all GOOD news.

We will be praying. Do they still live next to the Joneses?
