Moving sooner than later

With help from Lance, here is a Fadeley update!
We found out yesterday that Lance's report date to the 5th special forces group is May 1st. Again 5th group is at Fort Campbell, Kentucky which is about 1 hour northwest of Nashville. He will attend airborne school prior to leaving. This is a three week school at Fort Benning, Georgia. 5th group will deploy on July 1st of this year for 7 months. The bad news is that Lance is going to deploy, the good news is that it will not be a year long tour. He anticipates many "short" deployments like this during his tenure with 5th group. He is not sure if he will going to Iraq or Afghanistan yet as both countries are in 5th groups area of operation. While we knew this was coming it will still be a difficult time for us as Shawna will probably have to fly to China for the adoption without me, unless the Army will send him to China from where he is. And even though this will be the second time around for Lance deploying it will still difficult to say goodbye and be separated for 7 months. So please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
(Lance) Aside from my faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, i am drawing an incredile amount of strength from that fact that i will deploy as a husband and return as a husband and a father! God truly is good!!
(Shawna) I am excited about moving but nervous about moving so soon. It will be very hard to say goodbye to our friends and Skyline family here but God has bigger plans than our own. We have friends around Fort Campbell and they have already said they would take care of me. What a joy and comfort that brings me. Simba (our dog) and I will survive again a few months while Lance is away doing God's work.
Please also pray for a women's retreat we are planning here Feb. 4 & 5. It will be held at www.peaceablekingdomretreat.org. Our friend, Donna Allen from AL is coming to lead it. Donna is such a blessing to us and I just pray those will come that need some nourishment from God. Check out her web site www.foreverfamilyministries.com
Thank you for your prayers and friendship. They mean the world to us.
