This family is our family's best friends. This is Matthew, Melanie, Emma (5), Callie (1 1/2), and Noah (4 weeks). We met when we were all stationed together in North Carolina. Before Emma...when Emily was less than 1 year old. We clicked, and the rest is history. You know those military friends that you are SO close to, and then they move, and that friendship drifts apart? It happens....that's the military way. But not with Matthew and Melanie. We are just as close now as we were when we walked away from each other 3 years ago. At this moment, Emily hasn't seen Emma in almost a year, but still claims her as her BFF!
I'm asking you to pray for the Bethels in the coming weeks. Matthew is deploying soon. Noah is less than a month old. I weep as I type. My heart breaks for this family as Matthew has to leave his wife and 3 kids. God is a God of miracles, and that deployment could be canceled in the last moment. If He chooses that not to be His will, please pray for them as they go through the next several months.
Best Friends Forever! Emily and Emma last March
Future Best Friends Forever Savannah and Callie last March
