Well I am sure you all are wondering about this huge mystery that we have created!! Unfortunately, Jonathan has been too busy, and I have been too sick in the past couple weeks to inform all of you of our latest plans. So, without further ado, here is what the future looks like:
Since Jonathan's last day of work at MLA, he had spent most his time with Jason & I, and helping my dad with the logs in our their forest that blew down in the last storm. This job was to take about 1 month, at which time we would make the move to NC. But, 2 weeks ago, Jonathan's brother's (Michael) employer was expressing his desire that he would find another guy for their construction company. He never advertises for help, but prays that the Lord would bring all of his employees to him when the need arises. However this time it was taking awhile for the Lord to bring someone, and they were desperate for help. In expressing this to Michael, he immediately replied that he had a brother that could work for Ezra...but he is about to move to North Carolina. Needless to say, the next day Michael talked to Jonathan, and as it seemed like a dream job, we prayed about it and felt like we should at least check it out. Jon set up an interview for the next day. He started work the next day! So, in 1 week, our plans for NC seem to be either postponed, or changed completely! We have decided to give it a months trial before we say for sure whether we stay or not...it seemed previously that God was pointing us in the direction of moving to North Carolina, so we weren't quite sure why all of this was happening. Even now we don't know why...we can only say that we are willing to be fools for Him, no matter where he chooses to take us, or how many times it seems He is changing his mind. Right now, it seems this is where he wants us to stay, and so we will do just that. We still feel like moving to NC is in our future, but when that time is, we don't know. We just hope all of you will be understanding, and not too disappointed or frustrated with us going "back and forth" as it seems. Please pray that the Lord leads us in the right direction :) We love you all!
Heather, I think it is awesome that you are both so open to the Lord's leading and direction. I know that He will continue to give you wisdom and peace about your future. Congratulations on baby #2! Bless you guys!
