Dave Ramsey, Duncan Aviation, and Graduation (among other things)

So it's official!  We have signed up for a Financial Peace University Dave Ramsey seminar at a local church here in Longview, and our first evening of classes is TONIGHT!  Going to be learning about saving, ditching the debt (yay school loans!), and living graciously!

Duncan Aviation let Jon know recently that they had hired someone else for the job he applied for, but they encouraged him to apply for other jobs.  Please pray with us that Jon will find an aviation-related job soon - if he doesn't use his A&P license by a certain time, he will have to have a refresher before he would be hired by an aviation company.

Summer is graduating in 74 days!!!  Wow, where does the time go?!  May 5, 2012 at 9 AM at LeTourneau University - good times, good times :)

Lots of big changes coming up - graduation, finding a full time job (for Summer), Jon finding a better-paying job, student loans needing to be paid off, the possibility of moving out of state...there's a lot to be done, but a lot to be thankful for as well.  We have good food, good friends, a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and a God who graciously provides for us when we need it (and even when we don't).  In the ups and downs of financial strain, frustrations, and fears, it's easy to forget Who is in control - and when we look up and see the Most High, the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50), the Giver and Sustainer of life, the One who's got it all - well, we're reminded that everything's going to be all right.  Such comfort!  Please pray with us as we seek God's peace and wisdom in the big decisions that are coming.
