Well, it's been a while since I last blogged, but I don't really know what to blog about. As most of you know, I recently lost my job. I won't go into details, but it has been a tough time, especially for my wife. We've fasted and prayed about it, and all's I can say is I feel a peace that it was meant to be. I have felt a need to change my career. Why? I have no idea, I loved being a cop! It is a very fun job. But the more I think about it, the more I feel it is right to change. That brought up another worry...What the heck do I want to be??? Well, after counseling with my wonderful wife, who is always full of wisdom (Although, I don't give her enough credit for it), I have decided to go into engineering and computer aided drafting. It feels right and we have both felt impressions that I should return to school and finish out my degree.
I have never felt better with my decisions than these ones. My whole life, my goal was to serve a mission, it was the best two years of my life! But, I never gave thought as to what I would do after. I feel really good about the decisions we've made and the only one left to make is if we should stay in Ephraim and go to Snow, or to go back and finish up school in a bigger city where there are more job opportunities. I guess the real kicker will be if we can sell the contract on our apartment that lasts until December or not.
I am always very grateful to have a knowledge that I am a child of God. That knowledge makes me know that He loves me and will always take care of me. I learned a great lesson on the mission that God will always provide for you, if you show faith. After all, Christ himself told us, " Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto YOUR children, How much MORE will your shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" Matthew 7:9-11. God will protect us, and get us through this trial at this time in our life. I am glad to have married a woman of faith who is not afraid to pay a full tithe even when we just lost our main source of income. I guess I had more to blog about than I thought. :)
