Here's what a friend posted on her blog today...
I took W to the Community Center for jumpy castle playtime today and was able to meet several moms who just arrived on base. It is so nice to see all of these new faces and be able to answer some of their questions about life in Turkey. One sweet lady told me that her small group in Illinois had been praying for a lady here at Incirlik. Apparently, one of the other women in the small group stumbled upon this girl's blog and saw that she and her husband were trying to start a family but were finding it difficult. After a little discussion, we quickly determined that this girl is one of my dearest friends here (that would be me!). The lady I met said that she couldn't believe it when her husband told her they were moving here-the same place as the girl she had been praying for lives.
What an amazing God! I am so thankful for all of you around the world, those who know me and those who don't, who take time to pray for us and our infertility journey. I know and believe that prayer is powerful, and I don't take for granted the power of having hundreds of people praying for us each day. Thank you for our continued support.

very cool!

I remember many experiences like this! Prayer is so powerful. I specifically remember a woman who stopped me in the airport in Atlanta. We had just adopted Isaac and she said she had been reading and was praying. What a comfort to know we are not alone. Sharing my journey gave me such a network of support. I think we feel the Lord through the love of others! Praying you can feel him today.
Casey- have you read the book "Waiting for Daisy" by Peggy Orenstein? I just finished it and really enjoyed it.. I thought you might find it to be a cathartic read too.
Wow.
Awwwwwuh. Feeling teary! :)
The military IS a small world.. What a neat story..
I am an Air Force wife as well. Just the other day, my daughter told me that a little boy on her new soccer team was in her 3rd grade class...two bases ago! Ha!
The power of prayer is amazing!!
Stand faithful and confident in His plans for you...even when they're hard to understand!!
Praying for you.

This blog excerpt is outstanding. What an incredible author. I bet she makes a mean Holy Cow Cake too and probably is really generous with her magazine subscriptions. Just a guess.
That is amazing! The military community is so small in the bigger scheme of things!
I am an Army wife and it amazes me every time I run into someone I know etc. no matter where we are :)
GOD is GOOD.
