My day started at 5 am this morning. Just a couple days after my awesome immersion experience, I am back to the grind of another Spring Semester at Wesley Theological Seminary. While I would have prefered another week to catch up and try and get this sickness out of me, he sooner I start means the sooner I will finish (at least that's what I tell myself).
I am excited to start another semester. After this Spring I will be two full years at Seminary and only about a 1-1/2 left and then I will be done with school for a long, long time! People frequently ask if I will just continue into my Doctorate and my answer is always the same...Not at this time. In 2014 I will begin the Board of Ordained Ministry process which will take some time and I made a promise to Anthony that his Junior and Senior year I was going to be available to him and be done with school. I also made a promise to Evan that if he was still playing football, that I would work with his team and be one of the coaches. I need to spend some quality time with my boys before my boys are no longer boys but have become men. Time just keeps speeding on by and there have been a lot of things that I have missed while in school. This is another year that I will not be home on either of the boys birthdays. I've missed two Halloweens and several chorus and other school related events. So once I am done Seminary with my MDiv, I am going to be done for quite a while. (Tomoro is Anthony's Birthday btw)
So it was good reconnecting with everyone at school and hearing of others immersion experiences. Got all my stuff moved into the dorm and I am rooming with Q again, which is awesome!! I had the awesome privilege of presiding over communion tonight at worship. What made it even more special was that it was the opening service and so many new students were there.
I am looking forward to the new experiences of this semester and what I can learn so I can bring it back and share it with my church family.
Have a great night everybody!!
Esperanza!
