Witschorke Prayers

I would like to request prayer for tomorrow. My sister will be saying goodbye to Mike tomorrow. We aren't sure what time his flight leaves...it's "classified", but we know it will be tomorrow. We will get to the airport in the afternoon and it could be anytime. I honestly can NOT imagine saying goodbye to Joe. I struggle when he goes out of town for the weekend...knowing that Joe would be gone for 6-9 months (after already been gone for 6 months) would crush me. Sara is so amazing...she runs their family, takes care of Micah (who is nothing short of full-on-energy), and lives with my parents. All of this while worrying and praying over a husband who is miles and hours away. One of the scariest parts is the actual travel back to where Mike is stationed...I think once he gets there then he's a LOT safer.

Just remember when you hear or see people talking down about our troops...they are there to protect us...and they know that. They chose to protect the rights and liberties of this country and they are very proud to be doing that...and we are proud of them. If you see a solider, buy them dinner, say a prayer, shake their hand...let them know that being separated from their families and being put in harms way is appreciated.

Pray for peace. Pray for safe travel for Mike. Pray for Sara's heart as it breaks watching Mike leave. Pray for the relationship between Mike and Micah...that it can continue to grow at a distance. Pray for a hedge of protection from Satan over the Witschorke family as they withstand this trial. Pray for the hearts of the men that Mike's ministry and faith will touch and impact for God's glory. Pray for this family as they endure these months away from each other.
