New terminology -
We have entered a new phase of ministry as we gear up for this deployment. Dwayne's unit will be deployed to Iraq for one year. They are scheduled to leave September 12th. It has been really neat to see the lord at work in our lives as well as the lives of those we have come to care for here at Fort Lewis.
One new word for me is " Block leave" It basically means that it is mandatory time for soldiers to spend with their families. They get 14 days of leave.
Dwayne was thrilled to have this time and his hope was that he would get to spend it with family. He went back to Alabama for a week to see Kayla and Nick. While there he was able to spend a few days with his parents and have a little bit of time with my parents.
He was there to hear our little grand baby's heart beat - Yes, you read that right. Kayla and Nick are going to be parents. They had hoped to wait for a year before getting pregnant but God sometimes has other plans. :) They are so excited and it was a very special time for Dwayne to be there with them as they heard the heart beat for the first time. ;)
We are praying for Kayla and Nick and know that the Lord has great things for them both and for their family as it grows.....
God is so Good!
