[James] After a God-series of events, I was led to return to school this fall. Although this is something that I had always wanted to do, I didn't think that it would be happening so soon!
On Monday I had orientation at Bethel Seminary where I will be completing my Masters or my Masters of Divinity over the next 3 or 5 years, respectfully. I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity to learn, to grow, to be challenged and to be surrounded by life minded/hearted people. I know that it will most certainly stretch me, pull me, tear me, but I pray, it won't break me. As a pastor I know that this will give me so many awesome tools for ministry.
My concentration is a major entitled, "Master of Arts in Ministry and Community Leadership." I was so happy to hear that my first two courses this fall were to be "Church History" and "Compassionate Urban Ministry." Being in the classroom, studying the Christ centered hope of Urban Ministry and living it out each day will be one of my greatest journeys!
So be praying for me as I begin this radical endevour. It will be by His strength that I proceed.

James! This is Jen, in Vermont. I'm so glad to hear you are back in school! I actually am too, taking 13 credits to get ready for a nursing masters (probably). I'm actually sitting now, studying bones, listening to Coldplay and catching up on all my friends' blogs. How are you? I LOVE being back in school - how about you? Miss ya brother and God bless! Jen
