I have had such a heavy heart lately. So much has been going on lately it just seems like we have been going 100 mph and it doesn't look like things are going to be slowing down any time soon. Please just pray for us so that we can get through everything this next month...
1. First and foremost, PLEASE pray for our extended family (The Phillips). Chris' aunt Cindy has been having severe liver problems and it has been a long roller coaster ride the past 2 weeks. She has recently been moved to hospice in Houston Texas. Please just pray for a peaceful passing. It was been horrible for us being so far away from the family in such a time of need. We wish more than anything that we could be there to just wrap our arms around everyone.Its hard being 1800 miles away from everyone and feeling helpless.
2. Please pray for Chris this next week. He starts school on Monday and will be taking 3 classes this summer meaning that he will be away from me and the boys 4 nights a week on top of being gone all day for work. I am so proud of Chris for all that he is doing and I know that he is doing it for the betterment of our family and our future. He has a little over a year left of school and he will finally have his degree. I could not be any more proud.
3. Please pray for Chris specifically on may 12. He will be taking his Staff Sgt. test that day. This is a very difficult test that, on average, is taken at least 2 times before passing it. Making Staff Sgt. does not only rely on the test but multiple factors. His PT test, EPR, and test are all accounted for and added up to see if he made it. For Chris, everything relies on how well he does on the test. He has the second highest PT score in his entire squadron and he has firewall fives on his EPR sheet. Because Chris has only been a Senior Airman for a couple of months, this will mean that he has to score higher on his Test than a lot of other people taking the test. You get more points for how long you have been in the military and how long you have had on your Senior Airman stripes. Chris has been studying very hard but in all reality, he could get a 90 on his test and still not make it. If people taking the test for a second or third time make the same grade as him, they will make staff before him because they will have more points for being in longer. It is confusing but please just pray for Chris during this time. He wants it badly.
4. Please pray for me. I have been through so much lately with c section recovery, being extremely ill for 6 weeks because of gall stones, and then getting my gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago. Please just pray that I stay feeling healthy and that there are no more obstacles that I need to overcome with this.
5. Please pray for my schooling as well. I start back again at the end of this month and I am very nervous. I am trying very hard to get on a constant schedule with the boys that include waking up in the morning, breakfast, baths, lunch with daddy, nap times, keeping the house clean, staying on top of the laundry, working out, and doing all of the grocery shopping and cooking. Adding school into this equation will be difficult but I have to get it done! It will be such an accomplishment once we both finally have our degrees. It will be such a rewarding time for us with having finished our degrees with two kids under our belts!
Thank you for your prayers everyone. They are so appreciated.
Much love and God bless.
