CIMT - the basic training phase, i.e. mini-boot camp is done. Yeah! Most of the next 60 days of Phases 1-3 will be death by PPT with a few welcomed interruptions into the field for confidence courses & Capstone. 30 days complete and in the books is a nice thing to have behind me. I can honestly say that it can get boring here when you are off, but I thank God for the friends I have made that provide much needed distractions from the boredom of my hotel room. Today has been an uneventful, relaxing b-day. I felt so lazy this morning. I did not wake up until 8:40 when the cleaning lady knocked on my door. Have not slept that late since I have been here. Most mornings during the week (Mon-Fri) its PT at 5:30 and then the rest of your day, but on the weekends when you are not consumed with course work its a much more leisurely pace.
We have to go to 5 different chapel services and do a report of the different styles/denominational practices. I am going to my 5th different one in the morning - Church of Christ. I have already been to LDS, Catholic, Contemporary, & Anglican/Liturgical. I love Chapel Next, the contemporary service - they have great fellowship and its an inviting atmosphere where I feel free to express myself in worship. I feel like I am being spiritually nourished as I worship at Chapel Next!
It has rained more here in the 30 days of CIMT than all of this year in East Texas. It generally comes in the late afternoon or evening with thunderstorms. Reminds me of the typical south LA afternoons! It's raining pretty hard right now.
I miss you all deeply and anxiously await seeing you come August. Until then please continue to pray for me, my family, and my church ( NHBC). Thanks for all the prayers! Happy Fathers Day to my wonderful dad who has taught me what it is to be a great son, husband, & father! Happy Fathers Day to my Father-in-law, who is the most patient man I know. Happy Father's Day to my brother Scott and my brother-in-law Matt! And to all fathers, Happy Father's Day! Being a father is an awesome blessing and I love my children - Courtney, Jonah, Abbigayle, & Elijah!
