So many changes...
This is the only place we've lived as married couple, and as a family.
This is the only job we've had since we've been married. The military is all we know.
I feel like there's so much we're leaving behind... there's so many memories here. We're stepping out of our comfort zone, and moving away from everything that connects us.
That's not true. What connects us is our love, our passion for God, and our intense goal to raise a godly and honorable family. But it feels like our whole marriage is here in Rapid. Our home church is here, Abby's doctor is here, all of our friends are here. Even our favorite bagel place is here. And we're leaving it all behind.
But that's what God is calling us to do. To move back to our roots, to settle down closer to our parents. To find a new job, a new way, a new path.
We still have so many prayer requests... So many unanswered questions.
- We need a job that will support us as a family
- Matthew takes his test again tomorrow, on Tuesday. So we're really, really praying he passes!
- We need a house
- We need a job with insurance that will accept "preexisting conditions"
- We're eventually going to need things; a double stroller, a bigger vehicle (our car will NOT fit two car seats, no matter how hard we try!), a toddler bed or another crib...
- We need funds to a) move, b) pay for carpet cleaning, house cleaner, and hotel room. We have money in savings for this, but I'm worried about depleting our savings if we don't have a job set up yet.
There is fear. There is uncertainty. There is anxiety. There's a whole path that we're turning on to, and it feels like its pitch black and our headlights are out. And its December over Vail pass. That's how I feel some days.
I have to remind myself that God is in control, and regardless we are blessed. We have a place to go, family to stay with, people to support and encourage and help us along.
