This photo isn't very clear because it is a scan of a
Poloroid Lee brought home of Iraq. He got to reenlist
here, in front of this Iraqi landmark. Cool.
Lee has 10 months left in the Army. I am so excited to find out what the future holds. So in 10 months, Lee has no job, so why am I not scared? We prayed about the decision to come here and we have prayed about his decision to now get out of the Army. So I am at peace.
I trust God will provide a job, money, food, clothes, whatever we need. I am not just hoping.....I know it. I also trust Lee. I trust him with our family's future. I trust that he is listening for God's guidance. He is very unselfish when it comes to taking care of this family. He would do whatever he had to to not only give us the things we need, but some things we want as well. He has provided such a good life for us. I certainly don't mean that we have everything anyone could want, but we have everything we need.
I am already praying about the big changes ahead. When you think of it, you could pray too! We have a dollar amount for the salary of the job Lee will need and that is what we are praying for. Sometimes I struggle with being so specific with my prayers, but I have gotten more at ease with praying for exactly what we need or want.
God will give us what He sees fit, but we need to let Him know what we want!
I know God will guide us, I am praying that we will HEAR his voice clearly and obey.

I will be praying Amy. Be anxious for nothing but in all things with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God and the peace of God will guard your hearts and mind in Him. (it goes something like that I believe, Phil. 4:5-6 I think :)
Get specific, God wants us to make requests. But ultimately He gives us peace no matter how He answers us and that is the cool thing.
thanks Julie...and we are preparing in faith.
you know I love your blog too...honestly, God speaks to me every single time I visit....plus we are getting to know you in a much deeper way, it is awesome.
