My CAA News

I was alerted to this on Twitter by fellow mil-wife Tammy. The program My CAA, designed to help military spouses with portable careers, is temporarily halted.

From Military One Source’s Site:

Effective immediately the MyCAA program is temporarily halting operations. We are reviewing the software applications, financial assistance documents and overall program. This pause will not affect approved Financial Assistance documents. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. Please check back for updates.

All MyCAA participants and active duty military spouses may still receive educational counseling and career guidance from a Military One Source Spouse Education and Career Consultant. For information and resources on alternative educational funding opportunities, please visit the MyCAA page on http://www.militaryonesource.com/mycaa

I’ll keep you posted on changes as I become aware.

God Strong Releases This Month

I’m thrilled to let you know that my new book, God Strong: A Military Wife’s Spiritual Survival Guide, releases this month. If there ever was a book that defined what Wives of Faith is about, this is it. I wrote it to be a reminder to myself and to other wives so we can remember whose strength it is we really need to lean on.

After all, strength is a big part of being part of a military wife, isn’t it? Without it, how could we function? Yet too often we convince ourselves we can do it all, take care of everything and keep it all together – but eventually our own strength runs out. But God offers an unending supply. That’s what being God Strong is all about.

We will be having some fun giveaways and promotions later this month, but I wanted to let you know that Amazon has officially released it, and it will be available at a bookstore near you if it isn’t already (official release date is Feb. 15). My publisher, Zondervan, has the first two pages of each chapter available for you to see at their website as well as a sample chapter from the audio book.

Also, if you’d like to do the book with a group or do some additional Bible study on your own, I’m excited to tell you that I’ve created a special group guide and individual guide that’s free and available for download (visit godstrongbook.com).

We’re taking signups right now for our God Strong Street Team so be sure to check that out – Street Team members will receive a free copy of the book, a cool Living God Strong T-shirt (limited availability) as well as behind the scenes exclusives as we start doing book signings and speaking events.

If you’re on Facebook, please consider signing up for our fan page at facebook.com/godstrongbook. Media interviews, bookstore appearances and speaking engagements will all be posted there.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I hope the book encourages and inspires military wives to be everything God has called them to be.

Nominate your family!

I just got an email this morning from the National Military Family Association – they’re searching for a very special family to honor as their Military Family of the Year!

For more info, read below and check out their website. Nominations will be accepted through August 7.

Dear National Military Family Association Friend,

Still feeling patriotic after a weekend celebrating our independence? Keep the spirit alive by celebrating military families.

Military families sometimes feel what they do on a daily basis goes unrecognized or is nothing extraordinary. We disagree. That is why we’re searching for a very special family to honor as the National Military Family Association’s Military Family of the Year.

Take a look at your family’s achievements or those of a military family you know and submit this simple nomination today. Seven finalist families will be flown to Washington, DC to attend our 40th Anniversary Event where the Military Family of the Year will be named and awarded $1,000. Visit http://www.militaryfamilyaward.org/ for more information and to nominate.

Hurry, nominate now! The deadline is drawing near.

Regards,

Joyce Wessel Raezer
Executive Director, NMFA
