Life is always changing...

This past week has been quite interesting as far as long term life decisions go! For those of you who don't know, my husband is a Respiratory Therapist who recently decided to start going back to school to become a Physician Assistant. The plan was to only work PRN (only when needed, or when he wanted to work, instead of full time) and then to go to school full time. The school he planned to go to is a 50 minute drive or so from our house and he would basically have to start over again, because they did not take many of his previous credits.

As far as I was concerned, this past month has been quite hard on me emotionally. I felt like what I wanted to do in life was on hold, while waiting for him to finish school (again :p) with me working full time for insurance and bills.

Then last week I got a text message from David while he was at work saying that someone on night shift had resigned and if he should talk to his boss about possibly going to nights? Wow, that would be a change!! However, it also seemed like God had sent us a compromise to the problem we had been struggling with.

So after much discussion and prayer, David decided today to make the switch. He will still be working what is considered PRN, as needed, but will be filling in the gaps on night sift instead of day shift. Night shift will mean more money per hour, however there is still the school issue. So he has decided not to go to the school he originally planned on going to. The new school, he has actually looked in to it before, is an online program that he can have finished in a year and a half to get his bachelors. The previous school would have taken him most likely 3 years or more to finish before getting into a PA program.

Please keep us in your prayers! It will take some getting use to, but if it is God's will, things will all work out!
