A step in the right direction!

Have you ever felt like you were exactly where you were supposed to be?  Like the world lined up at the exact right place and you were square in the middle of it?  Greg and I decided to move to Georgia based on two factors.  The first was because we felt like it was a good time for change and the second was a financial decision.  While in Georgia, we were able to surround ourselves with amazing people, joined a church that became a second family, and found a place we would like to call home for a long time.  Our time in Georgia was going to be short, we knew that going in, but decided to do our best to make a positive footprint to leave behind.  The Lord blessed us there and we prayed that our new journey would be part of God's will and He would show us favor.
Deciding to move is such an important decision for a family.  In our case, we submitted a list of places we would like to go and it was up to the powers that be to choose for us ~ or they would decide to keep us in Georgia.  Greg had spent a total of 1 year out of the past 3 in Iraq.  I didn't think my heart could handle another 4 month deployment.  I spent a lot of time on my knees praying that not only would our name be on the overseas list, but that the right place would be chosen.  We were notified that we would be moving to Sicily!  What a relief and abounding joy I had!  In the days following our notification, we were informed that originally Greg's name was not on the list.  They were going to keep us in Georgia.  Through a chain of events (an answer to prayer in my opinion) Greg's name was added at the last minute!  That was the first indication to me we were headed in the right direction.  Everything fell into place as we started the moving process. 
Before we left, I began feeling a call to work with local orphanages once we got to Sicily.  When we arrived I asked around about what people knew about orphanages.  Most people I talked to didn't know anything and one person knew they existed but nothing else.  We have only been here a few weeks, so perhaps I was jumping the gun a little.  This past Tuesday I attended a Bible study through our chapel.  It was the first meeting of the new session and they were discussing what the upcoming ministry projects would be and introducing the new Bible study material.  I almost fell on the floor when they announced the ministry would be working with local orphanages!  This is the second time I felt we were headed in the right direction. 
I don't know what the future holds, but I'm excited to face it.  I feel in the depths of my heart that we are exactly where we are supposed to be.  It was hard to leave our friends and family in the States behind, but it's a good feeling to be confident this is right for us.
