Almost Done Darby!!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to friends and family who wrote Ben some encouraging letters during his Benning Phase. I received 2 letters from him during this phase, and I think they were both written before he had maybe gotten any of our letters! But let's pray they made it into his hands & encouraged his heart - I will be finding this out on Friday during the 8 hours I get to see him. Before he left we talked about whether or not I should come down for just 8 hours...but we are both SO glad that we decided it would be worth it! I can't wait for those 8 hours.

Let's keep praying for him to get a "go" to be able to go on to Mountain Phase. Benning Phase has been HOT, and as a result Ben said that it tough to keep hydrated, it feels like he is on fire, and a heat rash has taken over his body. He's also getting headaches (I don't think he's ever had headaches before!) and a consistent head cold.

He said that it really helps to know that the people who care about him are praying for him. Please keep praying for his physical protection, as well as his mind & heart to be strengthened and encouraged as he waits on the Lord to place him on a ROCK that cannot be shaken. He still has a lot ahead of him to overcome.

I will update you after my short visit with him! And next time I will add photos because how boring is a blog without pictures!! Speaking of which - I had the opportunity to shoot a wedding this weekend - check out some of the photos on my Sacred Moments Blog :)
