Today we celebrated my husband’s great accomplishment of obtaining his Masters of Divinity in Christian Apologetics. Four years ago we moved to Wake Forest, NC with a 5 month old little son so that David could study at Southeastern. We made an investment and purchased our first home, I started my nursing career, we got plugged into a local chrch with several ministry opportunities, and have gone from that family of three to a family of five (any day now anyways – ha)! We were drawn to this school because of how global-focused it was and is as was evidenced by the charge Dr. Akin (the president) made at the ceremony today. We are so thankful for all of the teaching David has received from professors, personal study, and life lessons. He and I both have grown so much!! Closer to our Lord and closer to each other. We are excited to embark on this new journey overseas in 2013. May we remain sensitive to our Lord that He may continue to direct each step. I am so proud of David – through all of his studies he never misplaced priorities of the Father, his family, work/chrch/school. Despite inevitable stress and pressure from school (which was never evidently displayed in his countenance or attitude), he remained consistently attentive at home to me and the kids. I’m so thankful for his love and leadership. I love you babe! Thanks so much to all of the family of friends who celebrated today with us too ~
