Week 20...the end

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  Week 20 marked the end of the road for us.  Josh was sent home on the Monday of that week after not passing pistol certification.  Our worst fear has come true.  In the past couple weeks over 20 cadets have been sent home and unfortunately we are part of that group.  We are lost, confused and unsure what to do now.  We did not see this happening.  We always knew it was a risk that we took when we decided to start this journey but had Hope that it wouldn't happen to us.  Its difficult to look back and see all that we sacrificed and gave up for what feels like nothing.  We have no idea what to do now.  The only thing we know is that God will provide and He loves us.  We don't understand why He would have taken us so close to the end before sending Josh home but we know He is in control and He knows the plans.  "For I know the 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.  We do not know what our future holds as of right now but we know God does and there is a lot of peace that comes with that.  We will continue to seek the Lords plan for us and follow wherever He leads, whether that's back at the academy for 6 more months or something else.  Please keep us in your prayers.

With Love,
Trina
