Rick found out at Drill this weekend that his name is NOT on the current Battle Roster list ... meaning, as it stands right now... he is NOT deploying to Iraq this spring.
While this is obviously a HUGE blessing... it is also a HUGE prayer request! First, this IS the Army we're dealing with... so everything is subject to change. The last thing I want is to once again get my hopes up... only to be let down. Second, nobody from Rick's unit has a clue as to why he's no longer on the list to deploy... nor do they have any desire to help him figure it out. He's on his own. So, tomorrow he'll be making phone calls to find out more about why he's not on the list and what this really means for us. Third, if this really IS true and if Rick really ISN'T deploying, we need God to make it abundantly clear what it is that He wants us to do. Rick is not employed right now as most of you know and we've been waiting on deployment orders. So, if those orders aren't coming we need to figure out what God wants us to do for employment - civillian or military. There are lots of options - we just don't know which ones are open for us right now.
What we DO know is that God HAS made it extremely clear to us that this area is where we need to be right now. He's put alot of work to do in front of us and there's no place on earth we'd rather be during this season.
Please keep us in your prayers. Pray for Rick as he begins making phone calls tomorrow.
