Big change of plans

Well do you remember the yellow house that we loved so much in Columbus, MS? Do you remember us questioning and not understanding why God closed the door on that home but KNOWING He had a plan...well we understand a lot more now as we are NOT going to Columbus, Mississippi! Ian has been doing a lot of soul searching re this new position he would take in Columbus, MS and after 5 grueling months of instructor training he came to the decision that this position was not the best fit for him. We have done a lot of praying and seriously believe God is closing the door on this for our family. So...we are now in a holding pattern and waiting to find out where the Air Force will send us next. When we found out in December we were going to MS, we were ecstatic, but we know the Lord is up to something BIG and He has something great for our family.

The last 7 months of transition have been tough to say the least. Moving is never easy but renting someone else's home and not having your own stuff is hard too AND with 2 toddlers it makes it challenging to say the least. But the last 7 months have been months of TRIALS, LONELINESS, GROWTH, and TRUSTING that God has His Hand on our family. Ian and I have been so very blessed that our marriage has been so sweet and God has been so gracious to us during this very difficult time of stress. We have missed our sweet friends in Germany so much as well as our great church and we look forward to getting plugged into a church body again as soon as we get settled for good.

We are still in San Antonio, but we are out of our rental home and living in a hotel and trust me living in a hotel with 2 toddlers is not fun for them bless their hearts because there are so many things they aren't supposed to touch, but I know we will all make it and hopefully we'll find out where we're heading next week. We know there is growth in the WAITING and we will be purified and made even stronger through all of this, but we so look forward to finally having a place called HOME again!
