Yesterday morning JT left for Lackland, TX to start basic training. What a bitter sweet moment (more sweet than bitter, of course)! It's amazing to see the man he has become in just the 3 years I have known him. I know he is going to do an amazing job during basic training! He said he is looking at it as a big mission trip - There is no room for failure. He called last night and we talked for a whole 25 seconds! Although it was rushed, it was so great to hear his sweet voice! I also got his address last night too! I'm so glad we got his address the first day he arrived because I started writing him letter #1 yesterday - I mailed it today!! I cannot wait to receive some of his letters and read about his time at basic.
The power of prayer is absolutely amazing! As time drew closer to JT leaving, I visualized what life would be like the first few weeks he was gone and I was just dreading that time. Although it is hard and quite lonely at times, I feel more proud and excited for him than anything! I know I owe this to all of you who have been praying for him and his friends and family! I know God is holding me in His strong hands tightly during this time!
