Yesterday afternoon we received some good news! BJ has been assigned to a new unit after almost a three month wait following his graduation and commissioning this past May :) This new unit is in the Columbus area, not too far from our home in Ashland. BJ is very excited to be a part of a unit again, and there are multiple blessings that come with it: 1.) This will provide some extra income for us each month. Just last week in our couples' Bible study, we talked about trusting God with our finances and tithing. As hard as it is to do so sometimes, God's blessings become so evident after you place your financial burdens on the One who provides income for us in the first place! 2.) We will have more opportunity to visit BJ's parents, sister, and grandmother on the weekends he will be at drill. With BJ's interim position at Evangel on Thursdays and Sundays (although we are very grateful for the position and certain that it is God's will that he serve in this position) we realized with sadness that our trips to visit my in-laws would not be as frequent as we had hoped. With this assignment to the new unit, a monthly visit to Columbus is almost certain! 3.) BJ will be able to work under a chaplain on his new assignment. He is currently a chaplain candidate, so this opportunity to work closely with a seasoned chaplain will help him learn and prepare for his future career!
We are so thankful and praise God for His timing and His blessings in our lives. We continue to praise Him for His faithfulness and for being our Provider.
