Gary got promoted yesterday. He is a sgt. in the National Guard and yesterday he went from being an E5 to an E6 which basically means that he gets paid more and he will have more responsibility. He will actually have people under him that he is responsible for.
As a result of this promotion he is also transferred. That's kind of how they were able to promote him. There are no E6 slots open in the unit he was in so they transferred him to a new one - farther away. We weren't sure what this implied and actually for about 24 hours we had to consider the option that it could mean he was being deployed with another unit.
Gary said that if it's God doing this then it will be a good thing. I need to trust that whatever God does He will always give us whatever we need to be what He is making us to be when we yield ourselves to Him. I did freak out a little at first but when Gary said that, I had to let it all go and choose to trust. It was hard but it also made me see where my heart was and my security.
Turns out everything is ok and in a few months they may even transfer him back so all in all this could have purely been a test - a revealing of the heart, if you will.
