Big changes are on the horizon for Team Swink.
Swink1 signs out on terminal leave Wed. 6/12/13. This change
wasn’t highly anticipated nor was it what we thought would be happening this
year. However, it is what is happening and that means that for the first time
since 1997 neither one of us will be tied to the military. Not as a soldier or
as a spouse...weird
It’s a big adjustment but one that we are now excited about.
There is an entire world out there with opportunities just waiting. There is an
extension of the path that God has already chosen for our family and it is
waiting on us to take it. The good thing about all this: I enjoy change. I
adore moving and exploring new places. Meeting new people and visiting old
friends.
During a recent conversation someone asked if we would go “home”
once Swink1 is out. I honestly couldn’t think of where “home” would be. Other
than a few friends, I have no ties to the town I grew up in, neither of us have
any desire to go to his hometown, our parents are scattered & the town
where we own a house is no longer home. Many of our friends have a definitive
answer when asked where home is; I don’t.
The best way I’ve found to explain the way I view it is
this: whereas the oak has deep roots that cement it into place I’m more like a
cactus whose roots are shallow & far-reaching. Draw your own conclusions as
to the other similarities between me & the cacti!
Pray for us friends, as we start out
on this new adventure!
