Hello, Homefire!
May God comfort your heart and give you strength as you keep those home fires a burnin'. Life sometimes asks some hard things of us, but nothing God doesn't give us the wisdom and strength to navigate. Right now, I am considering leaving home for a year to get experience in trucking. I will be leaving behind a wonderful husband who is doing all he can to provide for us and our 6 children, but it's just not enough, so I'm going to do everything I can to close the gap. I'm hoping be accepted at Prime. I applied with them today. I tend to be the pioneer type, but I know it's going to be difficult to be away from my family for quite awhile, but it's the only way we'll be able to afford to put them in Christian school. I can totally sympathize with you but I am totally relying on the strength of my faith to sustain me in this endeavor. I love driving. I love traveling. I've ALWAYS loved trucks and admired truckers for their courage and free spirit and I know that if this is God's will for me, nothing can stop me. He will go with me. He will keep me. I just pray my kids can endure the separation. It will be tough for me too.
God be with you and keep you in his care.
-Mom of 9 Kids.
