Johnny was called out today. Yeah. He was called at 6:30am and told to be in Pomona, CA by noon. Not much notice but that is the way it goes. He will actually be working for
Henkels & McCoy out of Mira
Loma, CA on a Distribution project. Johnny is SUPER excited!
It is funny how things work out. I of course had a big freak out moment yesterday when Johnny called the apprenticeship office to see where he was on the active out of work list. He was told #11. Since he started at #23 in December I was, well, freaking out saying things such as "At this rate you will be out of work until July." Johnny my constant rock was faithful as always and said "it is going to happen soon." He has done this multiple times before. He proves time and time again to be like Lot, and that leaves me as, you guessed it; Lot's wife. I tend to not look forward with the faith I should trusting that the Lord has never let us down even for a second. I get scared and frustrated. I don't always allow myself to trust in the Lord's plan for my life. This exact same thing happened when we were trying to get pregnant with Daniel. I was going to so many doctors, seeing the result of test after test only to be told I could not have children. I was a crying ball of goo and Johnny didn't seem very concerned. That is how I took it anyway. It was not lack of concern on his part, it was faith in the Lord's plan for our life together. He knew we would have kids (the 3 in 3 1/2 years came as quite a surprise to both of us).
So now we move forward together with more faith. We are going to put the trailer in storage and set up residence here at my parent's house while Johnny is working in Mira
Loma. It is about a 45 minute commute from
Hemet. Not too bad. The boys are excited to stay and I am excited to feel like I am no longer waiting for the sky to fall in on us. Progress! That is what I have been looking for. Some feeling of moving in the right direction. I am looking forward to sleeping a lot better at night.
How am I going to survive another 3 years of living like this?
Sheesh!
