I Dun Grajewaited!

It was a good day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the gown was flowy and breezy... it all made for a good experience. It could have been that I was really just excited to be done finally. Or it may have been the fact that the day before was miserably cold and rainy. We've had an unusually warm April here and the sunshine has lifted our spirits.

My parents and Faith's parents came out to see their boy walk up and kneel to get hooded, as well as Uncle Dan and Auntie Carol. And of course, Faith and the kids were dressed to the nines and made my day. Apparently the cheering was fairly loud when I went up. It could have been that a bunch of the youth ministry students really like me, or it could be the elation that Faith was feeling knowing that this is finally over.

I'll let you know more about it in a few days. I just thought that this should at least get posted for now. Thank you all for your support, your encouragements, and your love. Keep us in your prayers as God leads us into a ministry of his choosing. The stress level has been unusually high with a number of interviews in the past days...
