During my foray into the seminary world, I have gained exposure to many things. Not the least of which is the work of our Lord to tear away all that encumbers our service and dependence on Him. I had wondered about the impending clash between my former career and the direction God has been taking me. Many had encouraged (warned) me that weird things happen in seminary, especially with regard to money (or the lack of it). It is fair to say that I acknowledged their advice, but didn't internalize it. That is until I was laid off...
God has indeed allowed the clash to come sooner rather than later. He has taken our means of earning away, yet He has provided. Our bank account remains in a good place, our pantry full, our house warm. All this to His glory alone, for it should not be.
As we step further in faith, enrolling for a full load in the spring semester, I look with anticipation for the Lord to make His name great among my family. I anticipate a job for Jennifer and continued academic progress for me. It is exciting. Many of those I have come to respect in ministry were all taken on this journey by God. I count it a privilege to be on the journey too. May God bless you as He has blessed us making His abiding love known to us as we rely on Him and Him alone!
