Tyler's ship off day to Georgia


Last night we told Tyler good-bye in person for the last time for the next 10 weeks. It was, of course, tough to leave him there, but we would all agree that we felt overwhelmed with God's peace and loving hands wrapped around us. We've only said good-bye for a little while though! Today, he has been able to call Mrs. Loretta and me letting us know that he's traveling there now, and should be arriving around 6 PM.
Tyler is excited and nervous all at the same time, but what really amazes me is that he is most excited about seeing what God has in store to teach him as he develops a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ. Specifically right now, be praying that everything goes as planned during reception so that basic training will begin within the next week to get it all started. Also, be praying that he'll feel God's loving arms wrapped around him in the first few days as he struggles with being away from all those he loves. Thank you all for your prayers and support! Y'all are truly the best! God bless! -Brittany

I'm sure that was a tough "good-bye". I pray these 10 weeks go by fast for Tyler and you. I know he'll continue to feel God's grace.
