As my family soon enters into the last year of classes on campus, I have been reflecting on God\u2019s faithfulness to us. I am someone who likes to be rooted in one spot and never leave, so the idea of going to seminary, internship, and then taking a call seemed like too many unknowns to handle. But the words of Lamentations 3:21-23 have been ones that I hold dear, \u201cBut this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Here at seminary I have been reminded that He is the one who prepares and equips us for what is ahead and that He, praise Jesus, provides others in His family to come alongside. God has provided my husband with a strong group of brothers in Christ as he studies and grows in his daily classes. Our family has enjoyed being surrounded by other seminary families where we can share our hearts and our hurts. Every two weeks during the school year, the seminary and faculty wives meet together for fellowship. I have been so encouraged to look around the room and see how God has faithfully brought us all, with similar and different personalities and backgrounds, to this point in our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n

Along with the fellowship, we alternate studying books of the Bible and books on ministry. These studies have been an invaluable time to talk through thoughts and ideas with each other as well as those who are more seasoned in this field of ministry. In addition to campus fellowship, our family has been so blessed by the WMF both nationally and through various congregations. Hearing that we are being brought before the Lord in prayer while also being supported through financial gifts has touched our hearts and reminded us of God\u2019s faithfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n

Looking forward to life beyond seminary, I can say with confidence in God\u2019s faithfulness that we will get to meet even more of our family in Christ and that the feeling of \u201chome\u201d will get stretched to more places than before. And some day, some glorious day, I will get to be rooted in our forever home with Jesus. He has promised. He will be faithful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
