New Adventures

David outside the plane he flew


David flying - he did so great

Our new adventure is that David started taking flight lessons. This is something he has always wanted to do - he is actually considering a career in aviation. I went up with him and his instructor Don for his first flight. He was so proud, and it made me so happy to see him so happy. I didn't really want to go on the flight, but our friend Jenn was visiting and offered to watch Trey for us. And it was really important to David that I go. His instructor Don is a Christian and has really been an encouragement to David. David actually flew for part of the flight - I was a little nervous when Don gave him the controls. But he did such a great job, and I was so proud of him. He is also taking ground school on Saturday mornings and really enjoying learning - ground school is the theory part of flight school. My brother Phil is also a pilot and David has been talking with him about aviation. He has also received great encouragement from some close friends to pursue this if this is where God is directing. We really believe God is opening doors for us as we continue to seek His plan for us.

My flying hero

Please continue to pray for us for the next step in our adventure. David has been taking some general education classes this semester that he can put towards a degree in the future. He has done really well and it has helped him gain some confidence. He has never felt like he could succeed in this area, so this has been a great experience for him. We are seeking direction in the near future as to where God wants us. Our lease is up at the end of July, and we are making plans to relocate to an area where David can go to school full time and I can work full time nights while he is in school. We are looking at several different places at this point. I would love to be closer to my family but that may not happen until David is done with school. I've had some interviews and even a couple job offers, so we are thankful for the way God is providing for us in this way. Thank you for praying!
