OK, this is old news to most people at this point, but we're now getting ready to move back to the States. My next assignment is Ft Benning, GA. I'm supposed to be with an armor battalion that does training for new soldiers (among some others). We've known it was an assignment at Ft Benning for about a month, but I received my request for orders (RFO) a few days ago. My formal, written orders should be cut tomorrow. We're looking at about 90 days before we move back to the States.
The last few months have not been a lot of fun as we've wrestled with the question of whether or not God was allowing us to move back into civilian ministry. It has actually been the main reason we didn't blog much for a while. We didn't really want that discussion and that process out in this particular medium. We decided to set out the "fleece" of asking God for a particular assignment. We asked for Ft Rucker or Ft Benning. I honestly didn't expect either. My resume had been completed. I had already begun talking to friends about church openings. It's taken me a few weeks to get comfortable with staying in this type of ministry.
Personally, I'm just glad to be heading back to the southeast. We'll be back in SEC country for football season. Isaac may get to experience his first Ole Miss game (I haven't decided if he's ready for that one). We'll actually get to experience summer temperatures, which is exciting. If you don't know, those of you who live in south MS are currently experiencing temperatures Belgium will be getting in June.

I am glad to here you are getting to be closer to home. Praying for you guys. When will you be state side?
We'll get stateside in mid or late June. We'll spend about a week each in MS & TN before heading toward GA.
