Changes are frustrating

Brock was a fire fighter for 8 years in Texas, prior to our move back to Indiana. June 2011 we made the grand move across country back to Indiana for multiple reasons. With a savings account built up and a new start we were ready for this new adventure. This move has been great for our family and hard for our family.
As soon as we arrived Brock started the job search. He found a temporary job till he could get on at a fire department. Our local fire department opened up a position a month and half after we arrived. Brock jumped on the opportunity! Excited we started the LONG GRUELING application process. The application asked for transfer of all certification from other states to Indiana before the application was turned in. OK...easy enough. Indiana Homeland Security stopped that right away! Indiana Homeland Security will not take any other states emergency education. So eight years of Brock's life and his career were out the window. This was heartbreaking for both of us. More so him of course.  Brock and I talked and we had decided that he go for a reserve position and  he get all his certifications back in Indiana. A year later and he almost has them all back, with much appreciation from the city we live in that paid for it all.
As we wait for a position to open at our local department, Brock has been working a miserable job. This excitement came a couple weeks ago when a position opened in the city. The opportunity was for more pay, and was a hire directly with the city so that when he gets hired with the department it is a lateral transfer with a pay raise. This ends up being a lot easier on the city and us. Brock was choose 1 of 7 out of 40 applications. These odds were in our favor! We were getting so excited. This was a step in the direction we had been praying for since we moved a year and half ago.
He went tot he interview and thing went great. He said it felt very comfortable and they informed him that it was between him and a 19 year old kid. Our thoughts were  that if anyone had to choose between a 19 year old kid and someone that is already involved with the city and has a family and responcibilities the decision was simple.
Brock wait 3 days to call them. After a LOT of praying, being hopeful, and very excited he called them to find out if they had made a decision yet. I have sat all morning awaiting news from him on what he found out. When he called me he sounds disappointed. I asked him if they had made a decision yet. He informed me they told him that had hired someone. Our hearts broke again!
We just keep getting road blocks on our plans. We put our faith in God and know that we will be alright in the end and we are always taken care of. It is hard not to be frustrated in the end. Changes are good. God is always guiding us in a direction he wants us in. Sometimes the frustration takes over and just have to have faith that our goals will be reached!
