Hey guys,
I spoke with the Chazak staff and wanted to send you all a follow-up to my last newsletter. This past Saturday Chazak informed me that their decision remains the same; they have revoked my invitation to join class 4 and are insisting that I join class 5 next year if I want to continue with their program. They said they would still like me to complete the cadet program through Chazak, but not until 2026. Admittedly I am disappointed by their decision, but I am relieved that I also have a sense of peace about it all.
I am going to spend a little while to regroup and decided how best to move forward, so I don't have a ton to definitively share about the future at the moment, but I do plan on continuing to train. I did successfully complete the first year of training with Chazak so I have a good foundation and several certifications which open up a whole world of opportunities. I have lots of routes available to me to continue my training, including going through all of the practical rescue training that the Chazak cadets receive through a third party organization. The difference is that I would be completing it independently. I am familiar with this organization and their instructors are amazing and the instruction is very high quality. That's just one option though! There are lot’s of options and I will be putting a lot of thought and prayer into which one to choose. What I do know is that God has a plan for me, and even though it’s not Chazak right now, there’s still a way forwards. We all know the saying, “When one door closes another door opens." I plan on being careful to not allow the closing of this door to get me stuck. I will continue moving forwards on the path God has me on. Honestly, I’m actually pretty excited for this opportunity to change things up and move on to the next bigger and better thing that God has in store.
Thank you all for your prayer and support, I’ll update you guys when I have more definite direction and a solidified plan. For now, please pray for clarity from God and that He helps me to come to the best plan.
I pray you are all doing well , thanks again for your love, prayer and support through all of this. Goodbye for now, and Godbless
Much love your friend,
Mila.
