For sometime now, probably going on seven years, I have contemplated a seminary degree. I am finally ready to take the challenge. I won't go into all that has motivated me to consider such a move, but suffice it to say that I have felt the call to utilize the spiritual gifts I have been blessed with in concert with the practical experience I have gained in the corporate world in a more direct and, hopefully, full time service to our Lord.
The application is complete except for a couple of inputs required from my wife and pastor. Wife is home, pastor is on vacation. So, it will be just a bit before I can turn it in.
The feeling, though, that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders is undeniable. So, is the fear. However, whatever fear there is, is tempered by the complete peace I feel with this decision. I have received may encouragements and through prayer and fasting, I believe I am moving in the right direction.
That's all for now, I'll let you know how the application process turns out. That is step one. Step two is paying for it. That will probably be the acid test for God's will. I'm confidently expecting great things...We'll see!
