While You Wait...

 What To Do, While You Wait For Orders!!

 As a Military spouse, you are probably used to moving from place to place. Once you finally feel settled, it's time to move again! That's just the way it is in the Military.

 Unfortunately, we have been blessed to stay in one location for 16 years. Even though we are a Military Family, we don't know what it's like to move from place to place, have to meet new friends, and move children from the Home, they are finally getting used to.

 We have had to pick new orders and hope we get the ones we wanted. There has been times when we thought we would have to move our kids from the only home they knew, so we do know what it's like to not know where your going! 

 We are up for orders here soon. Two of our children will graduate High School over the next couple of years. I can't imagine what impact of having to  move, would have on them.  It's hard not knowing what the future holds.

Yet, this is the Life of a Military family!

     It's stressful, nerve racking, and stirs up so many emotions. 

   We have the choice in how we handle the situation, while we wait.

  These are some things you can do, while you wait on Orders..

1) Stay positive: Choose to remain positive regardless of how you      maybe feeling. It's challenging, but being negative will only add    to the situation. So, Stay Focused & Positive! You can do it!  

2) List the Pro's and Con's: Sit down as a family and make a list      of the Pro's and Con's of the choices that are available to you.    Seeing it on paper may change your way of thinking and give you a    much clearer vision. 

3) Make it Exciting: Get your Family exciting about the changes that    may take place. It's amazing how you can turn this whole            experience around!So pump each other up and point out all            the awesome things to do and see in some of the places you can      choose from.  

4) Trust God: We want to be in control of our situations, but the      truth is were not. no matter how you look at the situation. God      already knows the outcome. So, trust in his plan for your            Family! 

 I pray, this encourages you while you may be waiting on Military Orders. The Order's God has pick especially for you!
