Offically Accepted!

Today I called the Director of Admissions at WTS because I couldn't wait any longer... Two days prior to this phone call, the admissions committee met to review applications and rather than wait for an official letter via mail, I called instead. I was too anxious, I needed to know either way what the results of the meeting were. Admissions was pleased to inform me that I had been accepted to WTS provided I fulfill two "minor" requirements before graduation. Hallelujah! My wife and I are thrilled with this decision and in a small way confirms where the Lord is directing us.

Progress!

Last week, my wife and I visited two other prospective seminaries in the west Michigan area. We were both pleased and disappointed. Disappointed because both visits went very well. We were hoping one would stand out above another, but both GRTS and WTS are fine institutions of theological training. After sifting through the details, we have at last made a decision to attend...WTS this fall pending my acceptance into the program. This is a relief. Now we have the arduous task of preparing ourselves and our family for this major transition. I worry about so many things which could make this difficult, but my faith and trust in the Lord to provide and "work behind the scenes" to make this happen have not waivered. If indeed this is the Lord's will for our lives, He will ultimately make this happen.
