Onward, Christian Soldiers

We have a lot of work to do, spiritually and physically, to get ready!

I am in a replacement company with other Soldiers who are individual backfills going over to meet up with a unit already in theater. We have become a kind of surrogate unit for each other, and God has opened a number of opportunities to help Soldiers as we prepare to deploy. Last Sunday, a few of us walked to Greer Chapel where Chaplain Partin preached from Psalm 122. It was a reminder to me of our purpose as a Christian community. It is good to fellowship and encourage one another; only we can be intentional about pointing each other to God for His glory!

Psalm 122:1 & 4 "I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD.' That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel."

On Monday, about 15 of us got together to pray for one another as Warrior Platoon 37 prepares to go to their respective units now that our training is complete. Pray for these Christian Soldiers, that we would encourage one another in the LORD during the difficult times when they come.
