The day is here

Today is the day I leave for my deployment. I have to report tomorrow. We are going to spend some time training, then on our way to the "sandbox." Right now I am feeling so many emotions. Most of the are sad, but with a lot of optimism. I never thought this day would come. I hoped it wouldn't, but I knew better. It had too. Tomorrow I have to say bye to my wife and kids, and the rest of the family that will be with us. I've been dreading it. Words cannot describe the emotions. I know that they will be taken care of back here. We've been blessed with a wonderful family and a wonderful church family that will take care of them. I know I will be taken care of. I've been blessed with a good unit, with great people. Well I am going to go now... please keep the prayer for me going. I know the Lord answers prayers. I know the Lord will take care of me. I am walking the path that He has laid out for me. Although it may not seem perfect to humans, we have to know that it is His path and it is perfect.
