Well Travis was able to go in for his x-rays yesterday. He had to wait another day because their machines were down. He was supposed to go back in this morning to discuss the findings, but his "boss" had other plans. Travis and I talked about it the night before last and yesterday, and we decided no matter what happens, we are going to be happy with whatever God has planned for us. The WTU here is awesome, if he needs to go there, and I know that we will have everything we need. We will be just as happy if we get to stay, because we love this lifestyle; good and bad. More than anything though, his health is what is important. We are still praying for his back to have no problems. God can heal. I know he can. Travis and I appreciate the many prayers that you all have sent us are saying for us. Nothing lifts a soul like prayer, and believe me...its needed. We continue to pray for all of you as well. In other non-bad-news related...er..news, Travis and I are getting closer becoming EPC parents. We took our CPR class yesterday and passed the exam straight after class, WOOHOO! I am taking the First Aid class today, and hopefully I pass that one too. After that its just a matter of submitting the application, one joint interview, and one more health and sanitation inspection...then BAM! we will be official EPC parents. We got a really good recommendation from Travis' Captain, who is a really nice man that just happens to go the same service we do. I was also asked to sing at another memorial service, and I told them I would, but I really needed a break..those things take a toll on a person. I didnt have to sing, because they found someone else. It was nice to have a break.
I re-read my new years resolutions for this year and yes...I already broke one. But you know what? Its ok, because sometimes you have to fail to succeed. I dont really feel bad about anything anymore. God and I had a really long talk, and He told me that if He can take care of a lily in the field and make sure it has everything it needs...then He most certainly can take care of me. Thats the one thing about God that I love so much. He lets me try to figure it out on my own, and just when I think I am going to fall over the edge...He catches me, every single time. I am not a perfect Christian...nobody is, no matter how much they try to make it seem like they are, but everytime God pulls me back, I resist Him less and less. Almost as if I am learning my lesson, slowly but surely. I am thankful that this world is not my home, and that I am just passing through.
School starts in less than 2 weeks and I am so excited about it!! I have always been a bit of a nerd, lol. Algebra, Philosophy, and Communications...thats what I am taking this time around. I hope that I can make up for the several months I was out of school because of the move....aaa, I know I will.
We are planning a trip to Paris!! We hope to be able to go within the next month or so. It wont be a very long trip, because the girls will need to be tended to, but it will be long enough to enjoy!! I cannot wait to the city of love!! Oh, and it snowed here recently....I took a pic of part of Baumholder, enjoy! As always, thanks for reading and God Bless!
