March and April have always brought the wind, here to Blythe...somehow this time it has brought with it changes for our family as well. Last month Adam left his job at Desert Security Farms. It was a bittersweet change - there are so many things about the job that we will miss - and some that we will not.
Adam is currently looking for a new job. The funny thing is that I have been really calm through the whole process. I hope that everything works out - I might have to get a J-O-B if something doesn't pan out soon for a new career for Adam. The not knowing is the hardest part. Not knowing if we will live here in Blythe or somewhere else. Not knowing what Adam will do next and if he will like it. Not knowing what school the kids will go to. Not knowing what house we may live in or if we will rent. The dark mist of not knowing is definately the hardest part.
At the same time I am also going to school. I am taking 12 units - the helpful part is that my classes are online and right up my alley. Mostly computer stuff with some education stuff mixed in. My major is Vocational Education aka Career and Technical Education. My area of "expertise" is computers. I hope to someday teach a class or two at a community college. In the meantime it is a difficult process to be out of work, going to school, packing - but to where - only the Lord knows.
This month's VT message is on personal revelation and I feel like it was just meant for me...I could really use a boost of confidence, reassurance and revelation about the next chapter in our lives. I know that the Lord is looking out for us and have seen his hand in this whole process already. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father that knows us personally and guides us to the places and people that we need to meet in our journey. I have been sooooo grateful for the opportunity to come to Blythe. It may not be a perfect place but it has been the perfect chapter in the Barnard Family legacy. I don't know if our next chapter has us continuing here or moving on - but wherever we end up we will be blooming together...It has been nice to bloom as a desert rose for a while!
