A quick note on frequency of posts: I cannot guarantee the frequency of these posts. Some places we will be able to use our own computers, some not. Also, when we are not able to use our own, most of the time we cannot use our flash drives, which I am storing everything on to post when I can. Therefore, some post will be delayed as I will have to wait. Lastly, during our training period, we will have limited access to computers and limited time on them when we do have access.
Thanks to all for your prayers and thoughts.
So - How do you prepare for the unknown? First and foremost, since it is mostly unknown at this point, it is a journey of faith. Spiritual preparation is essential? “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths – Proverbs 3:5-6.”
Who would have thought – me, with over 15 years of mostly uneventful combined active/reserve service embarking on a voyage through a sea of sand, not actually knowing the exact course. We will be charting as we go. I look back and see the Hand of God directing each and every step, though most of the time, I can’t why at the time. The funny thing is that after I rejoined the reserves (after a 13 year break in service), many would ask me if there was any chance that I would be mobilized! Of course I would answer that it was slim to none. Well, God doesn’t deal in chances! He must have had a good chuckle as I answered those inquiries.
