I know it's been a few days since I've written, and there are some good reasons behind that...Lets start with Sunday. I got a phone call from him and I was pretty ecstatic until I heard him crying. Then I went into panic mode. I thought he was hurt. Turns out that the Lord had something weighing heavy on his heart, and it made him second guess the decision he made to join. I didn't have a lot of time to try and calm him down, so I let him get it all out while he could. All he kept saying was "I don't want to kill people. I don't want to do this" All I could think about was what are we going to do? We just bought my wedding set in October...and we're DEF still paying on that...and we just bought a new car in January. We basically planned our lives out around him being in the military, and here it was about to come crashing down. I immediately got a hold of Kate *she's a life saver!* and she educated me as to what would happen, and assured me that he was probably just getting cold feet, not to worry. He didn't call me on Monday which was SO stressful, but I just kept praying for him like always, and of course God always pulls through! I got a phone call today, and I swear to you that God is working wonders in my life, in our life right now, because he had went from an anxiety ridden man to smooth sailing. He had done a complete 180 since Sunday. I told him that I had prayed for his strength to get through this, and he had felt so much better. I'm definitely with out a doubt giving all credit to God and prayer on that one! Anyways, he's informed me he's staying! He wants to try and change his MOS (his job) to be a chaplain's assistant. And then further his education and become a chaplain. I'm SO proud of him! I whole heartily believe that God put the anxiety on Stephen because he chose the wrong MOS. He was good, and obeyed God by joining in the first place, but he wasn't listening and picked the wrong job...but it's okay, we're hoping to get it fixed. We talked for about 10 minutes. And within that 10 minutes we've decided that when he's all done with AIT that we're going to try and have a baby! :) I've already called my OB for a consultation to make sure that I'm healthy enough. I'm almost down to my "ideal" weight according to the dr. I think I just need to lose another 8 lbs.
I can't wait for thursday! Jordie and I are making Red Friday t-shirts :) I'm pretty sure their going to turn out amazing (Only because she's crafty, and well...I'm....not.) I'll try to figure out how to post pictures. if I can figure it out.
I'd love to write more, but i'm so sleepy i'm going cross eyed!
Thanks for reading....God Bless
