When the Answer is No
Posted in Family Life
John called this evening. He was tired after two enjoyable and successful days of precision driving. His calls are brief and I do not get many details until the weekend. All I know is that it involved cones and high speed driving on a training course located about an hour's drive from the academy. They arrived back on campus late last night and then had to get up earlier than usual this morning. Sometime during the day today, he was told that "the powers that be" have said no to the "chance" of John being finished by the end of phase one which ends on April 24th.
This is a huge let down for us as a family. Going into the academy, we knew it was going to be a long haul and months of separation. But when high ranking officials brought up and pursued the idea, we had hope. It is difficult not to be discouraged when hopes come crashing down. But I know that God has a plan even in this. He is not surprised by the decision. He is still in control. He knows our tomorrow and I will continue to trust Him. I will also remember that it ain't over til it's over. I will go boldly to the throne of grace and plead for miracles. Whatever the final outcome, I am encouraged that God is still God. He knows and cares. Won't you pray and trust with me?

My husband John and I have been married for 22 years as of April 2009. We have 3 children- two teens and a 10 year old and have been homeschooling for most of their lives. After John left the State Police in 1992, we spent 10 years as missionaries to Romania. We returned from the field in March of 2007. John was rehired by the State Police in 2008 and the whole family is very involved in ministering in a new church plant.
