Feeling Held

We have quite a bit of news since we last updated.

Unfortunately, Jon was not offered the job at Duncan.  He was also not offered the job at Penn Yan.  At this point, we are staying in Longview at least through the end of 2012.

Jon was told that he didn't have the technical/mechanical experience that the companies were looking for.  With that in mind, he is searching for a local job that will allow him to either work part-time or volunteer at an airport, aviation shop, or something to that effect to build his experience.  He is also continuing to apply for aviation mechanic work around the country, including South Carolina, Alaska, and West Virginia.  In the meantime, he continues to work for LeTourneau.

Summer is looking for a full-time position at various places in Longview.  She applied to Chik-Fil-A, but was told that she was not what they were looking for.  She has also applied to Hobby Lobby, but hasn't heard back.  In the meantime, she continues to substitute teach, study Greek, and work her Premier Designs business.

Through uncertainty and disappointment, God is still King.  He also continues to provide for us.  We have been able to work for a local catering company, and while we aren't sure week to week whether or not we'll have work in that regard, we somehow still have enough.

We're not entirely sure what's next, but we have faith and confidence that the Lord of the Universe keeps His promises...and He has promised us that His plan for us is good, and that He will never leave us or forsake us.  We take comfort in that, and look forward with excitement (and, to be honest, a little fear) at what the future holds.  Whatever is there, though, we know who holds the future, and that He also holds us.

Please pray with us as we make decisions on this adventure.
