A Sweet Word from Patrick

Upon returning home from a quick but wonderful trip to OKC, I received a new letter from Patrick. In it, he shared that although he still hasn't passed the 2-mile run, he has improved greatly on it and the rest of the physical fitness test. He has one more opportunity to pass it and has felt the prayers of all of his family and friends. Please read the following words from Patrick that he asked me to post.

TO ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

"Thank you so much for your prayer support. Daily I can feel God's guidance through this training. My PT scores have drastically improved and I WILL pass the next test. I love and appreciate each of you and look forward to finishing my training and getting to thank each of you in person."

-Patrick

I just want to add my thanks as well for your prayers for me through this time. I can feel them as I get through each day. I am SLOWLY adjusting to this no job, no schedule thing. It's a very hard thing for a band director to get used to, but I'm not complaining. It is also difficult knowing that Patrick is working extremely hard in very tough surroundings and I'm doing nothing.

On another note, it's so relaxing right now listening to the thunderstorm outside. We've been so long without rain and I almost forgot what it sounds like.

Thank you God for the rain and for your constant provision in my life.
