Dear family and friends,
The crates are packed, the house is cleared, the van is full, and we are so grateful for the hard work that has been accomplished! God is always so faithful, I need to be better at expecting Him to be who I know He is.
We are in a TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) for the weekend but hopeful to be off on a grand adventure tomorrow. Space A is right around the corner. The military often opens seats on airplanes that are on mission. We are looking at a flight to Korea with hopes of landing in Japan by Sunday to meet Ed in Tokyo for a few days R&R. We started school in July so we'd have three weeks of flexibility this fall for some hands on learning! So grateful the Air Force lends us this opportunity when we are overseas!
I feel free to be rid of all of our belongings at the moment, but I know I'll be glad to see them in the future. Great reminder that it's just stuff as you see it all carted away, again. The things of this earth are fleeting, can be gone tomorrow. I want to invest in the eternal...
We are so grateful for family and friends and are ecstatic about seeing people we love in the upcoming months. We leave the island Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Ed will promote a fine officer to Lt. Col. in the morning and we'll be on a plane late afternoon. Ed's known Major Hoffman since Ed was a Capt. and Hoffman was a Lt. I can't think of a better thing to do the morning we leave.
Love to all...
In our loving Father's hands,
Dinah for The Troops
