Update

Things have been crazy. Halloween has come and gone and now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving. Chasten has had some issues we are trying to resolve and then we have the other family issues such as school, cleaning, and life's little chores.
Our life has been living one day at a time due to the military. We were going to go active and were told we would be moving by Oct. 1st to either Ft. Hood or Ft. Bliss, but God had other plans. Instead, the military told David he would leave on Nov. 10th for training and then me and then kids would be moving in Feb. Now, as of today, we are staying for another two years.
This yo-yo made me think about God's plan for us. Maybe when we first felt it would be best to go active, it was. But God said, thanks for listening but that was not my intention. Now think about your life and figure out your next step. So we have. David has decided to change schools and go up to Weber State and join the ROTC program. This is a two-year program for him and when he graduates, he will then be an officer and commission active duty then.
In the meantime, I have decided to help out and go back to work. So I am currently looking for employment. I am just taking this until I finish my Bachelor's program in June when I can get employment in the field of my choice. Then it looks like I am going straight into my Master's (scary).
The plan we have right now is scary because my children are getting older and by the time David commissions Colten will be close to graduating High School and begin his leg of his life. Its scary how fast time fly's and how important it is to cherish the moments we have because they go past so quickly.
Life is hard but I know God has a plan, we just have to really put away our wants and listen. Having faith in what he has in store of us is hard but will hopefully be worth every second.
