Set Back

I lost my keys about a week and a half ago. I tore my apartment apart every day to try and find them. I checked all the places that they may have been, and looked under, behind and inside furniture, all to no avail.
On Saturday I was doing my laundry, and I heard a jingle. I checked the pockets of my shorts and found the keys I had been looking for all week. After a little song and dance (my life is a musical) I invited my children to walk joyously to the mail box to check the mail for the first time in almost two weeks.
My jovial mood was quickly crushed, however, when I saw a letter in the mail from the Department of Defense.
My husband was just finishing shaving, and beginning to get himself dressed when I somberly came in to our bedroom to give him the message. He asked me to read it to him. It said that the department was sorry, but he was permanently disqualified from the military because he has very bad teeth.
I was a little upset because my husband was going to be heading to Denver the next day (yesterday) to go back to MEPS and finish his physical.
“If Sgt. Miller is sending you back to Denver, and causing you at least half a week of missed work for nothing and he knows it he has a lot of explaining to do!” I declared.
He gave Sgt. Miller a call, and after Eric told him about the letter he just laughed it off.
“Oh don’t worry about that.” He said. “That’s why the physical has to be sent to a Surgeon General.”
Yesterday, Eric went to Denver to try to get a waiver. He will be gone until tomorrow at the earliest. He may not be home until Thursday.
Lord, I know he is scared, and worried. He has told me so on many occasions over the weekend. Please help him to stay calm and not to stress. I know that our lives are changing, and that our callings are calling, and that this is just one of the steps towards the new life we will be living. I know that the chances are becoming slimmer and slimmer that my husband will be in the army, but I know that if this is his purpose it will all work out.
We knew from the beginning that this would not be easy. No life changing decisions ever are easy, possibly simple but never easy. Thank you, Lord, for his persistence, and his courage to try so hard to accomplish this. Thank you for the courage he has shown in making this decision, which we know will cause him a lot of discomfort.
