Halfway Reflections

It occurred to me the yesterday as I walked home from class - 2 years of seminary are past, 2 more ahead. What a ride this has been and we're still in the saddle by God's grace.

This journey to Israel over the summer seems a fitting halfway house to describe the last two years: learning languages, studying history, wrestling through theology, the birth of our son, serving in global outreach...and now a journey to the land where our faith was born.

The God who called us to pursue this education in Minneapolis and this summer in Israel has been faithful to carry us this far. And through the many kindnesses of friends and family we're also felt the tangible love of God through his people. Our apartment will be filled with families from our cohort tonight - the brothers and sisters that Jesus promised when we commit to following him.

Thank you for your prayers - we always love to hear from you! Next week, an update on plans for the summer.
