Season of Blessings

It seems lately that I have truly been living in a season surrounded by the blessings of the Lord.
I am almost done with my CPE Unit (Clinical Pastoral Education, 400+ intensive summer unit in a Trauma 1 setting) and I am looking forward to finally finishing off this last pass/fail class for seminary; a ten pager and I'm done! Hallelujah, I'm so ready to move onward from seminary, and into the world of the Army.

The blessings continue though. I found out a few weeks ago when I would go to CHBLOC and where my first duty station is. I am going to CHBLOC September 13th 2009 through December 12 2009. I am so excited. This means from here I can go straight to my first duty station!! That duty station dear friends is Ft. Carson, Colorado!!! We are going to be moving out west to the home of the Rocky Mountains!! Lauren and I couldn't be more excited to experience the adventure God is sending us on through the Army out west. We are looking forward to getting into the many outdoor activities that Colorado Springs and Fountain Colorado have to offer.

At this point, I am continuing my physical training for CHBLOC and I am waiting to receive my orders via snail mail. God is so faithful! =) I also found out, after much online debate, that I am officially a 1LT. This is good as it gives us a little more financial ground to help meet our budgeting needs.

God is truly faithful... all this and a rockin vacation to the Riveria Maya coming up Mid August.
Christ is faithful and orders our steps. I never thought my desires to do missions work, and itinerant ministry would ever take the form of military Chaplaincy, but to me, that is exactly what the Army Chaplaincy is all about.

It's crazy how God forms us and places us exactly where we need to be, when we need to be there in order to fulfill the calling he has placed in our hearts long ago.

Faithful and True... That's My King!
