So it's been a month since we went to SWPA and our hearts have been quieted but the excitement is still there. For a long time we couldn't even touch the application. It was such an overwhelming experience that even the envelope was overwhelming. So we need to get the Applications in this week but some of the questions have been difficult for me to answer. So pray for the Lords wisdom it's mainly the doctrinal nitty gritty questions that I'm having hard time with forming the answers and coming up with the biblical references to back them up. I am lucky to have a man that has started proving to me that he is way more knowledgable in his bible then me. That is for some people intimidating but for me that's encouraging and a comfort. So now I need to back up and tell you how God is still blessing us. Rob got word that his start date for his new job was the day we were leaving for the family Deep Creek camping trip so that meant Robert couldn't go. He sacrificed for us and I am so proud of him but there was a hole and he missed my birthday. However that week he made an impression with his bosses that is standing still and they are considering him for a supervisor position and he is only 3 weeks on the job. He went into this job after 5 years of not working a full time job due to illness and then under and unemployment. So he promised the Lord that he would go to work and Glorify the Lord in everything that he does and says. So now they are watching him and giving him situations to prove himself worthy of a supervisor position. Pray that he remains true to God and that he keeps up his stamina. They are short manned and Robs picking up the extra hours as overtime. Man am I proud to be his wife! I am overwhelmed with the blessings God is bestowing on us. Not to mention the awesome Call we've been given.
God has also been convicting me of the way I dress. I read a blog recently about a family of girls that only wear skirts. This is something I have always admired. This lady came up with biblical references on modesty that really hit my heart. It made me realize how easy it would be and I hope over the next few months you will see a difference in my dress. We won't force the issue on Ahna but we have talked to her in a kid friendly way about what mommy wants to do. I hope that setting an example she will decide for herself and either way we will respect her decision. I'm excited about the changes God is making in our lives. I hope you are too! Keep praying and I'll try to keep you more updated.
