THAT is our new
family motto. Well, it’s been our mantra since this whole process started, but
KC and I have decided to make it official. I’m even going to paint it on a
piece of wood or something and hang it in the house! Haha! Just. Keep.
Swimming. It’s been perfect for our life the past few years. No matter what
happens, good or bad, *singing* just keep swimming.
Here's a little clip from the movie - it'll motivate you or at least make you smile. :)
In case you
live on Mars OR don’t have kids, that little blip is from Finding Nemo. Watch
it if you haven’t. It’s fantastic. That is Dory’s response to anything bad that
happens. Your son is kidnapped by weird aliens?! Just keep swimming... We’re in
a sunken ship bordered by mines with 3 “vegetarian” sharks?! Just keep
swimming… We’ve found ourselves surrounded by thousands of deadly jellyfish?!
Just keep swimming… Lost in the Big Blue swimming in circles?! Just keep
swimming….
You get it.
Dory is always the positive one even though Marlin is constantly thinking the
ABSOLUTE worst of every situation. I want to be Dory. Actually, I’m already
like her in a few ways. Shiny object anyone? As far as a fictional character
goes – she’s just awesome. (Don’t even get me started on Ellen DeGeneres – she
was perfect to voice Dory. Seriously. Don’t argue.) No matter
what came her way, she just kept on swimming. So that’s what we’re doing.
Plugging away.
In case you
didn’t read about it on Facebook, KC got a job as a recruiter for JB Hunt. *cue
crowd cheering* A HUGE deal for our family. He’s been working from home as
a trucking recruiter, but things have been slow. This season – has just been
slow. This was a BIG blessing from God. In retrospect, it’s almost like this is
where we were heading all along. Just the events that have transpired and led
up to this point – it was all God. I mean, from KC leaving his job at Benton
County, to living on one salary for 6 months, to my brother-in-law Mike
offering KC a chance to work from home as a recruiter, an opportunity that gave
him almost 2 years of experience – … it had to be God. This is definitely not a
job KC would have picked out. He’s been military and law enforcement for, well…
ever. The corporate world wasn’t something he ever thought he’d venture in to.
But after interviewing with them on Monday and expecting to find out within a
week or so if he got the job, they called him first thing the next morning and
offered him the position. Yeah, amazing right?
As I mentioned
in a previous post, it feels like God has had us walking (Isaiah 40:31) through
all of this. From the adoption, to work, to life in general, progress has been
slow. But now, we can see the end of at least this portion of it. I know we
still have many battles to face, but this has definitely renewed our spirits.
So until God
puts that last piece into place, we’re going to do just what we’ve been doing –
just keep swimming.
