I am sorry it has taken so long for me to write, but it has been a wild couple of weeks. April 15th was our last Sunday at our church and we will miss those people dearly. We were blessed to serve at that church and are praying for the man God has for them now. May God do a mighty work in the lives of those people.
I was able to get the family moved and it was hectic to say the least. We had some great help and couldn’t have done it without those people. I am currently unemployed which is rather weird. I was able to hear two great sermons preached on Sunday by two godly men. I won’t lie and say it was easy. I love to preach and know I will miss my time in the pulpit.
The reality of our decision has definitely settled in. We are now living in the town my famiy will call home while I am at training. I also received part of my uniform in the mail yesterday which was freaky to say the least. I hope to post a picture soon so all can see. I love wearing my country’s uniform and hope to bring honor to both God and country.
I am no longer a pastor, although I have a pastor’s heart. Instead, when people now ask what I do I tell them, “I am a Chaplain in the United States Army.” The looks are priceless as are their kind words of encouragement and promises of prayer. I hope to keep you updated on our progress. Please pray for my wife and the kids as we prepare for my move. It will be difficult. Also pray for my physical strength as I get ready for the most challenging event of my life: CHBOLC. Pro Deo et Patria – For God and Country.
