Hello again

I know that it has been a very long time since I have gotten on here and said anything. The past two years have been a very trying time for my family and I. We have had to suffer the loss of multiple children and what I mean by that is that we have lost one child in the systems of a failed adoption and another to a failed pregnancy. Also while going through these life experiences I have been deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and I am forever grateful to the Lord for His enduring faithfulness to whatch over me and to keep me safe while in harms way. I am getting ready to return home to my family and start life anew once more. It is strange how we do not know what God has in store for us, but whatever it is that He has going on in our lives it is always to shape us into what He what have us to be. I truely believe that everything happens for a reason and that everything is done is God's perfect timing. My only prayer is that I am becoming who God would have me to be to be able to lead my family as a man of God should. We are praying about trying to adopt again in the near future as well as trying to get pregnant again. We are already anticipating our last year in the Army as we have decided to get out and move back home to start our lives in the Ministry of God. I have started my school work to be a licensed minister through the Assemblies of God and I am looking forward to God using us to touch the lives of someone for Him in a different capacity than what I have been doing in the military. I know that God has used both Amanda and myself to be a light among the lost of this world while serving in the Army. We believe that God has opened doors for us to be able to speak with people about Him that might have never had the oppotunity to. As God closes this chapter in our lives we patiently await the arrival of the fresh new chapter that He has in store fo us. To anyone who reads this, I pray that you have a blessed day in the Lord and that you live your life in the pursuit of God's calling and perfect will for your life. Jonathan Fussell
