As of today at 2:00 pm my husband is no longer active duty Air Force. I am no longer a military wife. We no longer have a job. We no longer have a home. Its a mixture of relief and fear, I think.
I still know without a doubt that this is what God wants. I really, really feel like He is leading us away from the Air Force for a reason. But I also know in my heart that He is leading us toward something bigger and better. We just have to get there.
I've been a reading a book on my Kindle called The Promise: How God Works All Things Together for the Good, its by Robert J. Morgan. I honestly don't know how I came across the book, but I'm so glad I did. Its really put my heart at peace with everything going on.
The book is based on Romans 8:28: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Its really just comforting to me.
The other verse that God has really laid on my heart is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "
I think it speaks for itself. I just, I know that these are promises. I know that God doesn't break a promise. And I know that He knows what He's doing, even if I don't. I have to trust that He is in control, and that He has something better planned for us in the [near] future.
