The Six Year Plan?

So, John said to me a few days ago..."Do you realize what August 26 is?" Uh, remind me.

August 26 is the day he joined the US Army in 1996. He enlisted to get the benefit of the Loan Repayment plan, and his enlistment was for 6 years. So, on August 26, 2002, at the end of his military commitment, we flew home from Aviano, Italy.


Now, exactly 6 years later, on August 26, 2008, the next chapter begins with our flight from Charlotte, NC, to Monrovia, Liberia! How about that?

But even more interesting.....going back to 1990, 6 years before he joined the Army, John moved to Winston-Salem, NC to begin school at WFU's Bowman Gray School of Medicine (for which he needed the Army's loan repayment plan). And, it's very likely that the day he made the transition for that chapter of his life was very close to August 26! I wonder.......

Well, anyway, I hope to enjoy each day in this next chapter as it comes. For "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
