Home is where the military sends us...

" For I know that plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11


Our family is gearing up for our next Military adventure. After 14 years of being in the same job field AND stationed at Camp Pendleton (with the exception of 3 years on recruiting duty) We decided that a job change would be the best career move for our family. James' current job is not promoting and the job opportunities for when he retires (in 6 years...EEK!) are just not there. So, he LAT moved (changed jobs) to a totally different field and with a job change comes new orders of where we will be stationed. In just 3 short days we will be heading to Twentynine Palms, CA. This was REALLY hard news for us when we first found out where we would be moving to. If any of you know military bases, James refers to this base and area as the "armpit" of all military bases. It is in the middle of the desert, very isolated with not so great schools and NO Target <----- priorities, right? :) BUT we also have realized (through A LOT of prayer) that what we have planned for ourselves isn't always what God has planned for us. We know that the Lord has GREAT plans for us and even though we don't understand everything that's going on, God knows EXACTLY what he's doing. So I am hopeful, excited and full of joy to see what is ahead for the Anderson family. I'm sure since I won't be spending any time at Target, that this blog will be getting a lot more attention :)

bittersweet day for us as we said goodbye our last day at Revival MOPS

" Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path" Proverbs 3:5-6
