I'm feeling stuck. Actually, I feel like I am suspended in jell-o. David and I keep running into road blocks at every turn. We were all set to move to Texas (which in itself was a huge deviation from where we thought we were going), when we found out that David is facing a possible RIF. The Air Force is downsizing and the chaplain corp is being greatly reduced. We were advised to stay put until May 24th in order to put together our packet at a base where we are well known. So our packet goes before a board of unknown military officers who will decide our fate sometime in the summer. In the meantime, we are still moving to Texas; but we have no place to live. Because of the extended time spent here, we "lost" the base house we were counting on living in. The stress level at times feels above what I am able to handle. David keeps reminding me that this is a great time to TRUST in the one who is in charge of it all. It's hard...but I continue to try...
Good morning the night is over and goneI thought once this dark would last for so longFeel the sunlight on my faceYou have brought me through this placeJesus, Jesus You found meThrough the long night you led meYou set me freeDo you see just what You've done in my life?You gave me more than I hoped for now IFeel the sunlight on my faceYou have brought me through this placeJesus, Jesus You found meThrough the long night you led meYou set me free("You Led Me"--Barlow Girls)

I just heard about all this this morning. Easy for people like me to quote platitudes; really challenging for you guys to live out.
I love you guys!
No doubt these are trying times for your family. So many times God's timetable doesn't fit our own but His plan is best. I know you know that. On a happy note, David will get to attend Dawson's recital, right?!
Love you, little sister.
