Many of you have heard that Tory and I are opening a new and exciting chapter in our life together. Tory officially joined the National Guard on March 2, 2011. I was so proud to be in the room as he took his oath and made the 8 year commitment to serve our community, our state, and our country.
Tory will begin his weekend drilling with a unit in Rosemount in April. His basic training is scheduled to begin in September. After basic training graduation Tory will return home. Sometime after basic training he will attend officer candidate training. The officer candidate training is held in two 4-week training periods (when he will attend this is TBD). I am a firm believer in God having a plan for each of us and I am blessed to be married to a man of faith. After Tory and I had our first meeting with a recruiter a few months ago I came home feeling confused, afraid, and frustrated. I am comfortable and happy in the life that we have built together and I don't like change. That night I woke up in the middle of the night and sat on the couch with my bible. I flipped to a "random" page and the first verse on the page was Joshua 1:9.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
I can't argue with that... God is good!
-Love always, Lynette
