Those were the three “words” given by my commencement speaker last weekend -- three words of wisdom given to graduates of Gordon-Conwell, who are marching forth into vibrant ministry, teaching, or counseling positions… (“Burp,” just to clarify, was the advice to raise a holy ruckus…and at times, upset the status quo to speak against injustice. Credit to Dr. Seuss, of course.)
What a blessing to be with school friends and introduce Tessa to New England. (And yes, a Nick’s Roast Beef sandwich was crucial to the visit.)
The real highlight though was having my wonderful family present with us in Massachusetts. (And by family, I mean my parents, sister, grandmother, 2 aunts, 1 uncle, and 3 cousins!!!) It’s both honoring and humbling to be so supported and loved and the past month has given plenty of opportunity to receive it.
April 19- Ordination at Grace Community Church
April 23- Tessa’s 3 month bday
May 4 – 31st birthday
May 12 – Graduation from seminary
What a month, right!? Thanks to all who made this a special weekend and for the years of support! Enjoy the pics from last weekend.
Other news: Still no news on the job front… obviously, this is the question. We’re trusting God to help us through and know that he takes care of his kids. Please pray for open doors and new opportunities.
