Christian: More letters and a full heart
After four years of work, I can now add two new letters to the end of my name: M.A.
I graduated from Calvin Theological Seminary today with a Master of Arts in Educational Ministry. It's a great feeling to be done.
It was a great day, and my heart is full. My parents and Beth's grandmother came in from out of town to see me graduate. Friends came to watch the process. Beth's parents and sister came. We spent time with the family, spent time walking around our neighborhood, ate an amazing dinner at The 1913 Room, and had a great time. It is humbling to hear family, friends, and professors heap compliments on you. While I'm honored and grateful, I feel overwhelmed by the generosity in all their remarks.
It was a beautiful, sunny, and warm day. I was just a perfect day. I wish this day could last much longer, because it's the sort of wonderful day that you only dream of having.
Ultimately, though, all praise is due to my friends and family for sticking by me and supporting me, and most of all, all glory goes to God. Thank you.
Beth: Pomp and circumstance
Christian is graduating today!
In a few hours, he will officially have his Master of Arts degree from the seminary, and with an awesome GPA on top of everything. His parents are in town; I've got the camera ready. The past four years have been working up to this day.
We're pretty excited. And I'm pretty proud.
