This is going to be short and sweet, unlike the pursuing and completion of my degree. Yesterday I got to walk the worn stage of Criswell College as a graduate. I pulled out my bachelors degree in biblical studies with honors and all limbs intact. I can’t really express the appreciation that I have to my family and the professors that ministered and taught me the meaning of God’s Word and the struggles of ministry and life.

It seemed like a day that would never come years ago. I was telling Josh that graduating high school was an accomplishment but one that doesn’t hold much personal ground as you are made to go by parents and the government. This one was a little sweeter. Knowing that it was a little more personal and the willingness to persevere through the ups and downs of the last four years. I told one of my profs a couple weeks ago that I feel like I know absolutely nothing at the end of my years at Criswell, and when I came in I had all the answers, or so I thought. His response to me was that I was ready to minister and that my statement was far more knowledgeable than I believed to be.

I am so excited and proud to bear the name of a Criswell graduate and look forward to furthering my education, knowledge, and service to the one God that sustains and allows it all. I am grateful for His mercies and grace that He has provided through the tests, the Greek and Hebrew, late nights, and tears as another page has turned.
