Come to Type-A Parent Conference!
Peter, thanks so much for the opportunity to guest post on your blog. It has been a pleasure to read all of the other fabulous guest posts and to participate with you and so many other great bloggers in your blog carnival. Thanks for letting me share my heart with your readers!
Chrystie,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being willing to share your heart with the readers here at RTC.
This is a great post and I hope many people learn and are encouraged by it.
Chrystie, that was beautiful.
When do you expect your husband home?
Thanks, Helen. This was an re-post from my blog a couple of months ago. He made it home safe and sound. And believe it or not, he has already scheduled the same trip again for next year!

Chrystie, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face.
What a beautifully written story about trust. I love the way you approached it… reality is, there aren't always happy endings, but trusting God anyway is the answer!
Beautifully written, Chrystie. It's a nice companion piece to Billy Coffey's post this morning on High Calling Blogs.
Thank you for reminding us that trust inheres, always, whether in our goodbyes or our prayers.
Very nice. Fear is such a real threat to our peace. Like you said, trusting God doesn’t mean everything will work out the way we think it should, but it will be to His glory somehow and some way. Thanks for the reminder.
Making the decision to trust Him means trusting in His way even when it is unclear or not what I hoped for.
What a clear and lovely way to sum up what it really is to believe in God, Chrystie.
Lord, I do pray that You'll protect Ken. I pray that as You work Your sovereign will in His life, You'll also work in this situation Your perfect will, and give the maximum good to Ken and Chrystie. Thank You and Amen.
@Bridget, @Maureen, @JasonS, @AnneLangBundy : Thank you all for your kind words!
Chrystie, I love this as much today as I did when I first read it. And of course God's timing is perfect. I was just talking to a dear friend yesterday who is totally stressed and wondering if God really sees what's happening in her life. What a blessing these words will be to her when I pass them along. I love being on God's Team, don't you?
I love the way our God works!
Chrystie, this sounded so familiar to me. I felt the same way when I sent my husband back to Iraq from his R&R in August, knowing that there were no guarantees that he would return to me. Thankfully, he did return whole and healthy, but that time of trust in spite of what might be was a difficult one to get through at times.
What a beautiful way you have of expressing it! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Rebecca, I watched my sister go through this with her husband as well. He, thankfully, returned home from Iraq in June this year. Thank you and your husband for your service! And thanks for your kind words!
hey chrystie, sounds like your husband is very outgoing! thank you for sharing this great post here.
