Thankful!

Well its that insane time of year again, where one barely leaves the library and feels glued to their schoolwork, :( uggh I love learning but I always forget about how awful this part of the semester feels!! Prayers would be appreciated to get through the next couple of days.

In the midst of all this craziness I thought I would take a moment to stop and be thankful for all the ways that God has provided for us while we are here at seminary.  Today was the Honors convocation at chapel and I was awarded an honor for excellence in Christian Education. I am not one who takes compliments well, and most of the time I feel I don't deserve them and I get really embarrassed with all the attention (and yet I must admit that I like hearing them and appreciate the feedback afterwards). However, it was so odd realizing that this would be the last time I would sit in the chapel surrounded by the people I work with and study with.  I will miss those people so much and all the ways that they have helped shape my faith.  Its been an interesting ride through seminary life being a female married student, but I feel no doubt that God placed us here for a reason.  We have had so many incredible experiences with the people who live around us and have been able to experience the ups and downs of life together.

We probably don't say thank you enough to the people in our lives here, as we rush to prepare for the next adventure.  I wouldn't say that living in Massachusetts has been my favorite (it's terrifying to drive around here and winter is definitely under-appreciated, haha) but I would say wholeheartedly that we love our church and GCTS families!

So, I just want to say thank-you to God for providing Drew with a job and providing the funds for me to go to school. I also, want to say thank-you to our church and small group who have made us feel welcomed and loved and have trusted us to teach and serve in the church.  Also, thank you to the Admissions Office for providing me with a job I have loved and will definitely miss! Also, thank you to all the people in our building and in the GCTS community who have become amazing friends and confidants.  

Please come visit us in Indiana :)

Well I need to return to those papers....

Much Love,
Theresa
