I got my last call from my beloved tonight. I know it is the last call because they ship out to the actual Basic headquarters tomorrow. He is in good spirits other than getting choked up every once and a while. He got a new glove! Thank the Lord, he is so good. He sent me a text about 10 mins ago and said his phone was about to die...no response after....literally silence. I just have to make it through 4 weeks and then hopefully I can hear that sweet voice again. It is sad but also exciting that the journey is already beginning and he will be home soon enough. He apparently is in a platoon of a bunch of immature kids and he is pretty upset by that. He said today 2 guys mouthed off to a drill sargeant...not a good move for the guys or their platoons. I wish people would drop their pride and remember other people. That is the way the world is though and it is sad. I am so calmed by the peace the Lord has given me...even now during the silence. It is a beautiful kind of peace. Something that I could not give to myself. It is a wonderful gift. He told me he has been too busy to write but he has gotten up everyday to have a quiet time before. That thrilled my heart and I am so thankful for that. I am thankful for his reliance on Christ. He is supposed to ship out at 3am tomorrow to go to the basic headquarters and he said he was going to get in the word before, so I know he is tired. The Lord will give him the energy he needs though. I am confident in that. I love him so dearly and I cannot wait to be is wife. It seems like the days will not come soon enough, and yet I am thankful for this time of growth ,so I can be the wife I need to be and he can be the husband he needs to be. Growth in this process is so crucial. God's timing is beautiful and I wouldn't change what he was doing for the world.
