I discovered we have done a pretty good job of down-sizing because packing is going a bit easier than I thought. Before we moved into our current house, we made a conscious effort to down size. We can now see how God's hand led us in that decision because it makes getting ready for Army life a bit easier. We still have a lot of packing to do, but we have a lot done. We load up the moving truck next Thursday and hit the road for Arkansas next Friday.
We are going with our good friends David and Dacia tomorrow to look around the BX at a local military base. The trip will provide a nice distraction. David and I will try on some combat boots. HOOAH!!
Everything on the sale of the house seems to be going great, and it does look like we will be able to close by the 22nd of this month.
Just a final word about my amazing wife. She approaches our impending life change and God's new direction in ministry with such an attitude of faith. Her faith shined through like a beacon in some recent conversations. The way she is putting herself in the Potter's hands through this ordeal amazes me. I also see in her just in the way she stopped and expressed concern for a member of our home school group that we bumped into at Wal-Mart tonight that her heart really cares for people. God really gave me a perfect helpmate in her.

Brother,
As you and your family make this transition in ministry I pray our Lord's blessing be upon all of you and your work. You are in for one great ride!
CH Reedy,
Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for the prayers. My wife and I have kept up with your blog for months. I appreciate all that you shared during your deployment. You served as a source of encouragment to us through your blogging(unawares I know) while we went through this process. Thank you for your example and your service.
