Flight training Update

For those of you who read this, not many but it may get to some of you? Here is a video I put together to show what I have been up too these last 4 months or so and why I am here in Ionia. For those of you who dont know Ionia is a tiny little place and when I first got here I drove through the town, quickly. Then I thought oh boy what have I done!
But I am here for a reason for a purpose that I believe is exactly where I should be, even if I doubt at times!
So let me know what you think of the video and thanks for your support and prayers if you have been supporting me. If not then you can, just get in touch and find out the ways you can pray for me, support me and encourage me!

That's not meant to happen!


So I have found my self saying this phrase a few times this last two weeks or so, if not exactly that then maybe more like "Thats not right God its just not fair."
I felt justified saying that, firstly something happened that brought up insecurities in my life and made me question if God is in control. Then things have not gone according to plan financially for me either the weak pound is killing me here in the good ol US of A. The US doesnt seem to want to let me work so that makes life harder. Then the Cherry on the cake was I found that my dad had lost his job in a way that I dont think is right.
So God what is up cant you give us a break, my parents have tried all their lives to honour you and put you first and the reason they are still paying off their mortgage is because they put him first! Its not right God its not meant to happen like that! I took it to him and let him know, oh and my mums health is not good either. Plenty of times in the past I have thought people cant go in the huff when things dont go their way, but this is different?
Then this morning I read in 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 (its great take a read) these two parts
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."
And
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Wow ok God I get it, then I heard this song below as well and that challenged me even more, particularly these words
"How could I doubt your goodness, your wisdom your grace, Oh Lord hear my heart in this painful place"
Whhhhaaaaaaaamy! Lord how can I doubt you? You have been faithful all along even when I stumble and fall you remain. Lord let me trust you more and sing a broken hallelujah!
