Life update & deployment dates

It has been forever since I have blogged, February was quite a busy month in the Finnell house! We have been hanging out with friends from small group and getting more involved in our church, Grace Bible in Killeen TX! Our small group has grown so much in the last 4-6 weeks...physically in size, but also in depth and closeness. We have recently had several eye opening conversations that have made us all realize how important we all are in each others lives...and that the group is a primary support group for so many of us. We have also been able to come alongside one another and serve each other in several ways this month through meals for a couple with a new baby, a welcome home party for a hubby coming home from Iraq, and a garage sale to send off friends who are moving to Africa! We are so incredibly thankful for the family we have been blessed with at Fort Hood :)

I love seeing simple people do extraordinary things so the gospel is heard and made known!

Deployment Update...

We also received Trevor's deployment tasking and dates! This news was expected, but still very hard to hear... We knew it was coming, but once you have dates staring at you on the calendar, it makes it all much more real. We have started clinging to one another for dear life already....and at the same time arguing about petty things we didn't used to argue about? What in the world? Everyone said this would happen, but for some reason I just thought we were exempt for some reason, news flash...We are not! So we have spent the month processing this! Trevor has been told that he must report no later than July 1st... Due to OPSEC (Operations Security) I am not going to disclose where he will be going, but we would def apprecate prayers! He will probably be leaving here sometime the last couple weeks of June! 

We also were blessed to find out that two of our best friends are expecting babies while he is deployed! The Walkers 3rd baby will be gracing us with their presence sometime mid August and The Timmons 1st baby in October! We could not be more thrilled for them! These babies will def be keeping me and my mind busy while Trev is gone, that's for sure :) It def gives me something to look forward to this fall! We LOVE you guys!!!! 

I think that's all for the month of February! We are praying for a great 3 months together before Trev leaves and that we are both able to really cherish this time and take one day at a time to enjoy it! 

In Him,

Trevor & Allison
