Not what he wanted

Tim was hoping for counter-intelligence for his new M.O.S. But he got communications instead, he will be working with fiber optics. Please keep him in your prayers. We are praying that the military still sends through him interim for his Top Secret Clearance. If he has that, it is a great bonus when he goes to look for work outside the military. I feel so bad for him. It feels like he is constantly getting the short end of the stick. I tell him God is saving it all up to bless him. But, I don't know if that is what he wants to hear at this point.
Tim will be leaving at the end of January for two months of training in Georgia. That is going to bite. It has been awhile since he has had to leave me for that long. And now he isn't just leaving me, he is leaving Jairus too. It is so nerve racking to wonder what he will be doing when he gets out, how we are going to support our family. But we are so sick of living this way. We can't make any big plans to travel, go on vacation or even a concert because the whims of the military can change all our plans in a second. I am longing to be able to plan fun for our family. Tim has been excluded so much from family things, I know it must hurt his heart.
Anyway, one step closer to knowing what the destiny of this family is. Tim has about 17 months left in the military. God is faithful, and He is good. I know he will bless Tim with his heart's desire.
