Leaving Our Lives In His Hands

This may seem a bit personal, but at this time in our lives we are going through a lot of changes.  It almost feels as though we are starting over again with no absolute sureties of which direction to go. Ryan is looking for a new job and we are still waiting on ASU to get back to us about the Masters Degree Program.  We are supposed to be moving in a few weeks and the job we had hoped for is no longer available due to the hold in hiring for The Gilbert Arizona Police Department.  At this time we truly are learning a lot of things, but I have to say what I am learning the most is that no matter how in control of your life you think you are, you are wrong.  We are literally at a point where we will be putting all of our trust in the Lord to guide us the direction he wants for our family.  As I look at the temporal changes we are coming upon, the best things are still here, my husband and my children and the gospel.  I am being taught that these are all that really matter anyways.  So, for now we are still packing and praying.  Ryan is still working on his online business and hoping to sell more books in the mean time.  We hope that you are all doing well in this hard economic time.

We have had to do that many times. It is so hard to just let go and let the Lord be in control of our life, but it is what is best for us.
