Dear Friends,
My Christmas leave is coming to an end, and I have to admit that it is the perfect amount of time to be on break. I've been able to see lots of family and friends (though not all), and I have enjoyed being "lazy" for a change. Going from an average of 160 lbs. and 2-3 hrs. of sleep a night for the previous 40 days to the new record 184 lbs. and 10 hrs. of sleep a day has been good for recovery. However, my legs are becoming more and more anxious. The majority of me wants to go back to Ranger School in a weird sort of way. Yes, it is miserable at times and I want to finish it ASAP, but right now I just want to get back to the routine of training. I just want to get immersed in it one more time.
Anyway, Swamp Phase in Florida is my last obstacle in Ranger School. It should be tough, but I'm more confident now than ever before about God's provision. I've thought too many times before that something would be "impossible" for me in this school...pass a phase, fight through an injury, or simply just keep walking. After all, God tends to laugh at that word. In the end, my goal is to graduate on Jan. 25. Then I'll have to play it by ear. Your continued prayers and letters will be appreciated again as I look to finish this phase of training strong. Take care!
