First week of Seminary

I returned last Sunday from my first seminary class, Introduction to Old Testament and Psalms.  The class was very interesting and the professor was very good.  The campus is beautiful and a great place to study and reflect on what you are learning.

Now the work begins as I have four papers to write before Thanksgiving. I m still waiting for my parish assignment and have been told it could come at any time, for that I am very anxious.

My next seminary classes will be January in Berkley and May in St. Paul, MN.  As I move further along on my path to ordained ministry, I pray God will continue to walk with me and give me patience and wisdom.

Seminary begins

On Sunday I leave for PLTS in Berkeley for my seminary orientation and first class. The first couple of days will be meeting with advisors and professors to lay out my course of study.  The rest of the week will be participating in the fall gathering for TEEM ending with my first class, an Introduction to Old Testament.  I am excited, anxious and ready for this leg of my journey to begin.

And it begins

Well, the next steps on my journey towards parish ministry begins today.  I have received my syllabus and reading list for my first seminary class and have begun my reading.  My first class, Introduction to the Old Testament, will be in October at the seminary in Berkeley, CA.

I am anxious to begin my study, but more anxious to learn my parish assignment.  I have been told it could be after my week at Berkeley before that information becomes available.  So, once again, I am 'patiently' waiting on God's time.

Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I move forward.  Blessings to you.

A year of patience pays off

Well, it has been some time since I have posted to this Blog. The news I have been waiting to announce has finally come  to fruition. Last Friday, I received word and will begin my studies in the TEEM Program this fall.

We don't have our parish assignment yet, but we should know that soon. So, still some anxiety. But God is indeed good and we are serving on his time. At least that is what I keep telling myself. Please keep us in your prayers.
