To all those people who say: "Just have a bachelors degree is all you need to get a job" I laugh at you!! Yesterday was our SEVENTH month here in Ohio. Tomorrow is the SEVENTH month that Skye has officially been OUT OF A JOB! After applying for hundrends (around 2oo) jobs, and going to multipul interview WE STILL DON'T have a job!! STILL!!
Ok, so I know that everything in God's time, and I know that he will never leave us or forsake us. He hasn't left us or forsaken us, but sometimes it feels like we made a HUGE mistakes coming home, leaving a safe job with a salary and BENEFITS! So... Skye would have had to deploy, we've been there done that, could do it again! Once you have been THROUGH a deployment, you can make it again. As much as I adore Skye, he's encouraged me and taught me how to be self sufficient so that in the chance the he would be gone, I can make it without him (except I don't know how to change a tire).
All in all, you just don't understand what it's been like for us to be here. Gratefulness is one emotion, or feeling we do have. If it wasn't for Skye's parents providing us this apartment we'd be up a creek without a paddle. But, it's a small one and these last few cold days (40degrees) have been REALLY hard. We all have cabin fever, the girls are BORED! It's hard being stuck in a 800sqft. apartment all the time together! 24/7
Skye really needs a job. He's up for one here in Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, and an unknown place. PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S WISDOM ON WHAT JOB TO ACCEPT AND WHERE WE GO! Becuase if I had to be 100% honest, I'm ready to get out of this house, and have a place of our OWN!!! God give me patience!!

I've been thinking of you, and have hoped that Skye would've gotten something by now. Have you guys heard from L3?
As always, we miss you guys, and think of you often!
I love you!!! I'm so glad you are sharing your heart, not only with us, who can pray, but with God as well.
This was yesterday, the day you wrote your blog's GOD CALLING. When I read it, I remember it as one of my favorites over the years. One that I held on to MANY, MANY times. I pray you hear His voice in it and can take comfort for your weary souls.
I love you,
Mom
The Hardest Lesson
Wait and you shall realize the Joy of the one who can be calm and wait, knowing that all is well. The last, and hardest lesson, is that of waiting. So wait.
I would almost say tonight "Forgive Me, children, that I allow this extra burden to rest upon you even for so short a time."
I would have you know this, that from the moment you placed all in My Hands, and sought no other aid, from that moment I have taken the quickest way possible to work out your salvation, and to free you.
There is so much you have had to be taught -- to avoid future disaster. But the Friend with whom you stand by the grave of failure, of dead ambitions, of relinquished desires, that Friend is a Friend for all time.
Use this waiting time to cement the Friendship with Me, and to increase your Knowledge of Me.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. Psalm 33:20
I love you so much and ache when I read this. Please know we are here and praying DILIGENTLY!
