The Lord's Way

Well I was waiting to make a big post after I threw a little celebration party for my sweet husband, but it looks like we won't be in a house to do so until after school starts so I felt as if I needed to go ahead and document our good news. 

It's crazy looking back over the past three and a half years and reviewing our journey to this point, and the thing is I wouldn't have it any other way. Through the past few years we have experienced much tears, heartache, and confusion to why my sweet Kaulana was not able to get into physical therapy school. We had decided that it was time to move on after two years of applications which led us back to arizona to the public administration masters program at ASU. After we had gotten back from hawaii, we were in Colorado springs for the summer and Kaulana's tuition was being charged for out of state even though it shouldn't have been, and all of his grants fell through for other various reasons. Since we were out of state at the time it was too difficult to try and get things fixed for the semester we decided we would wait until the spring semester instead of paying the out of state tuition for fall. Through an odd end job Kaulana worked (dominoes) when we first got to Arizona he was led to AT Still university's physical therapy program. which happens to be about ten minutes from our house. Long story short and after laughing it off a few times, Kaulana went in to the university and found out he had been filling out the GPA portion of the application wrong and that it was much higher than he had thought. We just couldn't believe it! Anyone who knows Kaulana, knows he would be happy doing just about anything, but the one job he looks back on and misses is definitely physical therapy. Through many promptings we decided to apply to AT Still. Because of rolling admissions and his later application he was wait listed, and then ACCEPTED! We have honestly learned so much over the past few years and can truly understand the Lord's Way. We can see so clearly why he was not supposed to be accepted into any program yet, and just feel so incredibly blessed that we were led once again to physical therapy. So many of the things we are prompted to do so often seem so absolutely crazy, but I know with every ounce of my being that as we have followed the spirit we have been so blessed and have been able to learn and grow so much more than I thought we were even capable of, and some things I would have never realized we needed to learn. I am just so grateful for the Lord's way and his timing. Even through our current trials, this experience has helped me to have an even greater faith and understanding that the Lord is aware of us and our struggles, he is but leading us to a greater life than we could have ever imagined for ourselves. so CONGRATULATIONS to my sweet husband. We are so excited for this next step in our lives and are beyond words excited to be able to move forward, as well as humbled to even have this incredible opportunity.
