Dear Friends and Family,
We have decided to move back out to
Spokane this summer. Jordan is going to do the aviation maintenance program.
This basically means that we intend to go into the mission field and instead of
being a pilot, as originally planned, Jordan will work at a hanger and fix
planes. Some of you may already know this, others may not, but here are a few
of the ways in which God has graciously led us to this decision: *
- Jordan had a seizure over a year and a half ago. Thinking it was a fluke the doctor put Jordan on medicine for a year and then started reducing the doses last September only to find out (through one scary day) that Jordan was still dependent on the medication. Despite not finding any cause of the seizures Jordan was told he would not be able to fly until he was seizure free for ten years, at least three of those being medication-free.
- Through several different methods, God provided for the entirety of our medical expenses (I think we paid a total of 18 dollars out of thousands), thereby keeping us debt and stress free.
- God brought along friends and family to encourage us, give us wisdom, pray for us, and help us find peace and security in Him alone. God also led us to people who have had similar experiences as Jordan giving us further reassurance.
- In searching for information about the maintenance program and pursuing this option, God answered every question we had. He really did. We literally have no doubt or confusion about where God is leading us right now.
- God emphasized heavily that there is a GREAT need in the mission field for mechanics (we have been told at least six times by six different people that this is perhaps the greatest need in the mission field today).
- God has given us much peace and confidence in this decision.
God has truly been clear and gracious in helping us
understand His will. We would really appreciate your prayers as we continue to
follow where God leads.
In Christ,
Hannah (and Jordan)
*This only highlights some of the major ways God had helped
us make this decision since my last blog post in September. God has done so
much more than this.
