We need prayer!
Here is a little update from the bodacious Brown's. If you know anyone that is in the Army, PLEASE give them a hug, our life is very challenging. Kelly left for training 2 days ago and should be home the day before Thanksgiving. Then he will leave the day after Thanksgiving and go back out to training and should be home right before Christmas. We will get some vacation time to take and then he is scheduled to go back to Iraq for his 3rd tour but for 15 months. I'm not telling you this to feel sorry for us, but just so you will pray for our Army, because we are all tired. I am very thankful that we will have the holidays together, I'm already planning my menu which includes a deep fried turkey!!! YUMMY! I also need a lot of prayer. So...I have figured out that I get my funny sense of humor from God although sometimes I don't think Him and I think each others jokes are so funny. If you pray for God to show you where you are supposed to be and how you can serve Him, be prepared for Him to answer you. For this deployment I had my own plan of moving home so the girls could get extra attention that they deserve and for some extra help for me. Well...God answered and said NO. NO! what do you mean NO! (see, not a funny joke) God has asked me to put together and help run a support group for the wives of deployed soldiers here in Baumholder, Germany. So that is what I'm doing. I am very excited and VERY nervous, this is WAAAAAY out of my comfort zone. My prayer is through this support group, that is desperately needed here, ladies will come to know and love God the way I do. Please pray for me. I know that was very long, but my girls are in school, Kelly is gone, and I have 29,812 words to use up (the average woman speaks 30,000 words per day, now that's funny). xoxoxoxo

Oh Honey, we love your Blog! Dad and I read it together, it is wonderful!
Thank you for sharing and Yes, we will be praying for our Brown Family!
Love to all,
Mom and Dad from O-HI-O
Hello Brown family,
I will continue to keep Kelly and the girls in my prayers. You are very special to me, Shannon.
Madison - you look really sharp in those skates. When you come to Ohio we'll go skating together. Grace and Sarah - I love the pictures your posted. You are all growning up so tall and beautiful!
Shannon, reading your note, just makes me feel so humbled in your strength & faith. GOD bless you. You certainly have grown into such an amazing woman of God. Obedience is hard (That's what we need to remember next time one of our girls drives us mad...) but rewarding when we do what He has asked of us. No matter how far out of our comfort zone or how far away from OUR desire. Know that we pray often for all of you, even though we can't keep touch as often as we like. The girls think of their cousins often. Some day soon we'll all be together again!
We love you, we are proud of you & continue to pray for all of you.
