I think there's probably a lot that some of you don't know. Or maybe you do know by now, and that's cool. We've been keeping some things really quiet for the past few months, I guess we kind of thought that if it wasn't said outloud then it would go away. Unfortunately, it hasn't; and there's really no more hiding it.
In short; Matthew's getting out of the Air Force. His separation date is March 31, 2012. I know, soon. With this has come a lot of fear, uncertainty, and questioning of God. What is he doing? What's his plan? Why? Why us? Why now?
We're hurt and disappointed. But we refuse to be broken down. So instead of wallowing and complaining and crying over it, we're picking ourselves up and moving on. God is closing this chapter in our lives, for whatever reason. And as much as we disagree and argue and beg, he's still doing his thing. We have to trust that.
So what does that mean for us? Where does that leave us? We have no clue. Possibly army, we're meeting with a recruiter this weekend to discuss our options. Possibly the civilian world; Matthew can get his CDL for under $100 (which is an awesome deal!) so we're looking into that too. Ultimately we know that God is leading our lives into a different territory. And while it is unknown to us, it is completely in the hands of God.
So yes, in the midst of moving into a new (bigger!) house, holidays, traveling, tight budgets, and a new job for myself; we're now changing careers. Without warning. Awesome, huh? Hey, its just how God works.
