USAF or BUST!

Our oldest son, Matt, has decided to join the Air Force instead of returning to college in the fall.  He's done well in college, but says he's ready to do something more with his life and serve his country.  He has promised his worried Mom that he will finish his college degree while in the Air Force - and the Air Force will pay for it as well as help pay off some of his student loans from his first two years of school.  A wise decision if you ask me:-) 

This morning he leaves for Montgomery for MEPS, which is where he will go through a rigorous medical examination, more evaluations, career counseling, and take his oath.  He's always been very interested in the military - I wonder why?  (He is is father's son!)  The military has been a huge part of both sides of our family - many grandparents, parents, uncles, and cousins have served our country.  These influences I know have made a huge impression on Matt. 

Please be in prayer for Matt today and tomorrow as he travels to Montgomery, AL for MEPS.  Please be in prayer that he passes with flying colors, is accepted into the Air Force, and that this is God's will for his life. 
Pray for his Mama who is having a hard time letting her baby go down this path and that Matt will always walk each day with Jesus Christ!

"The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."   Psalm 121:7-8

Thanks friends!

In His Love, Cathy
