now i can speak about this, so my husband says. he is in dallas tonight preparing for a job interview with a new company. we have been praying about this for about two years. it is flying jets for a company out of dallas. the name of the company is flex jets. it is a job where he will be gone ALOT. he will be gone for 6 days and nights and home for 4 and then the rotation starts over again. we have been approached with this job, before, but i was not ready to have my soul mate and best friend gone from my life so much. i was not ready. and to tell the truth neither was he. he has become concerned for his job here and he is just not happy at his current job. airplanes are expensive and they are usually the first thing sold if cut backs need to be done.
God has had to do a tremendous work in my life to be able to support and be excited for the possibility of this job. God has gotten rid of a lot of baggage in my life. but when i hear how excited david gets when he speaks of this job, there was no way i couldn't support him in this endeavor. i love him so very much and want him to be happy. one night in bed i began to pray for david, and God began to say that i have created david for more than this. i known this for a while, but was afraid to allow God to take it where He wanted it to go. this would mean that i would truly have to rely on God for so much more than i already do. learn to stand more on my own two feet.
david is an awesome husband and father. i know this will be hard on the girls as they love him so. we have not told them about this yet. so i would ask that you not say anything to them either. his interview is tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. there are three parts to the interview. an oral, written, and a simulator flight. there is a chance we will be moving by december. or if they hire him and allow me to complete my contract, then we will move in the summer. we will tell them at the end of the school year, if we get to move then. of course we will tell them sooner if we leave around christmas.
i ask for your prayers. i know God is in control. we want His perfect will for all of our lives. i will keep you posted. thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

i'm praying for you kimmie! this sounds very exciting and very scary at the same time. isn't that the way it always is with God? i'm sorry i didn't call you back about the teaching tip. please tell me! ellie has been sick, and school started (i cover school, remember?) and it was kickoff weekend at the church this weekend. i want to know -- you can comment or email me or call me again if you want. whatever works. i must say, i'd be so, so excited if you guys moved to dallas!
Yes, I am praying for you all.
Question: if this whole thing goes down like we think it is going to, can I keep the girls?
I just don't think I can go on without those two sweet bursts of sunshine... Maybe??
Seriously, I'm praying.
We are so excited for your oppurtunity. Change is scary, but I know God will give you and D. everything you need to succeed.
you know, kim, all new levels in relationships are accomplished through risks. you have been looking for a new level of intimacy with God. the thing about taking risks in our relationship with Him is that we always get way more than we ever thought possible.
i took a big risk last year that has changed the direction of my life and the quality of my life. even though past attempts have failed for me, i learned enough from them to recognize the hand of God guiding me to where i needed to be. i knew it was different and watched as the pieces aligned to carry me here.
Isa 49:8 Thus saith Jehovah, In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages:
Isa 49:9 saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
Isa 49:10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them.
Isa 49:11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
I just LOVE Isaiah!!
We said a prayer for him this morning a little after eight. Let us know how it goes!!!
hey K & D - I know it's scary letting God be in control. And yes, God did create you both "for more than this". So just let go and let God do His thang!
God will catch you when you fall. It's the falling part that I don't like. ;)
i will keep you and your family in my prayers. i know God has great plans for ya'll... but if you do end up having to move, we will definitely miss you here!!!
