While I was doing some homework this afternoon, my phone rang and I lost my heart in my stomach as I answered! He sounded so good! He sounded encouraged and energized. This coming week he'll be doing most of the same stuff he did this past week. Then the following week is the field training exercise...which is the very last training exercise they will do before graduating! After the field training, they'll be cleaning up for a whole week to prepare for the next group that will be coming through after them. He has almost completed all of his training which is extremely exciting! However, we still need to be in fervent prayer over the week that he'll be out in the field. Mr. Robert, Mrs. Loretta, and I have asked him how we can specifically be praying for him over that week, so I'll have an update soon regarding that week. However, for now, be praying that he'll stay encouraged as he finishes this race well. God calls us to finish well, and in 2 Tim. 4, Paul beautifully reminds us of what it looks like to finish our race with great faith. God will provide Tyler with everything he needs, which gives us peace. I just cannot even begin to express how excited I am to know that we'll be going to get him to bring him home in just 3 weeks! Just imagine how proud we will all be when we see him graduating as an Infantryman for the United States Army. Praise God for our military! Love you all!

It is so exciting to know that it's almost over for him and us!!! 3 more weeks! Unbelievable how time has flew by! I am so thankful to God that Tyler sounded encouraged and energized! Yet, another answer to prayer! It's just so hard when you know he's away like that and down hearted and discouraged. Thank God that through his relationship with Jesus, Tyler was able to shake it off! I'll be watching to see the specifics with his field training. I've already been praying for this. Especially for some reason, I've been concerned about him staying warm at night. I know God will take care of him, no doubt about it. Look how far he's come now! Keep us posted girl, and thank you so much for your posts! Love ya'll SO much!
Brittany, how inspirational your blogs are! I'm so excited that Tyler will be through in 3 weeks. Time does fly quickly, doesn't it? Our prayers are constantly going up for him and his friends and you. God listens and knows our petitions before we do. I think that we're going to have to get you a website...even when he gets back.....so you can blog on many things. I'm going to miss these blogs. You need to be an inspirational writer. Of course, you can write about things such as dogs.... half dogs/half wolves....greeting you....lol..I'd love to see that blog! Love you very, very, much.
Hahaha! So funny Arlene! It took me a minute to get what you were referring to about dogs. I'll have to share the story sometime ;) It was so funny!
Thank you both...the two of you have been such an encouragement to me through this time. Honestly, more than you'll ever know! May God bless you both. Love y'all!
