God's lesson

Well my last post I stated that I wasn't a patient person. I guess God sees that as a challenge. I still don't have a date of when Jim will arrive. The most current guess of when he will leave Afghanistan is April 11th. The fighting has been intense from what I can gather. He gives out no information really. He did send me a link to an article about one. http://www.dvidshub.net/?script=news/news_show.php&id=32037

So I understand that travel is dangerous and that he is needed. I would be lying if I didn't say I need him to and that I just want him home. I was find for months and months with little contact but when the hope of him coming home was placed before me I took it. Now it just keeps getting moved and that is really really hard. We made plans for his original come home date and that has passed days ago. My mother had hoped to see him, she is already at home at at work. The boys have Spring break this week. We were going to do all sorts of things but they all included Jim. I feel sorry for the boys. Their break was anything but fun. We had hoped to spend Easter with him that won't happen either. His parents arrive on the 15th. If he gets out on the 11th and makes great connections he should get to see them.

We all sit here waiting and worrying. We understand that he isn't coming because it is too dangerous to travel. God is teaching me patience. I must be patient that when the perfect time for him to come arrives he will leave there and start his trek here. God is teaching me that I can make plans, lots of people can make plans but he is the one in charge and knows best.

Pray that Jim's travels are safe and soon!
