Levi the EMSA EMT

It's official! Levi got a call from EMSA this last week and has decided to take their job offer. After months of waiting for something to happen, we're both excited and scared about this new chapter in life. Things are easy right now and it's hard to change. This new job will mean long hours for Levi and nights on end of us being apart. 

Even though the new job will be a tough transition, we both believe it truly is God's will for Levi to take it. The day he got the call from EMSA, the following verse came to his mind:

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. - Proverbs 15:22

He hadn't studied the verse lately, but we believe God put it in his mind to explain how He would make His will clear to us. For as Levi asked person after person their opinion on the job situation, each one said he should take the job (despite possible future opportunities with the Norman fire department).

So here we are in a somewhat unexpected whirlwind of transition. After months of false hopes about firefighting jobs, etc. we weren't expecting much to come of Levi's interview with EMSA. Nevertheless, we're excited to start this new chapter. Please continue to pray for us as we figure out how the new schedule (Levi working Thurs-Sun NIGHTS) will affect our lives.

  2. It is difficult to have one person working nights, but it is possible. Justin and I did it for several months. We also survived my working long hours and being too exhausted for anything for several months. When it is God's will, everything works out!
