Well, I’m in Minnesota. Its green.
For those that do not know, I have begun my ‘return to seminary’. I have roughly two semesters of academics to complete and a 12 month internship. This week, June 1st, I start my first class (well, re-start) at Luther seminary.
I’ve been in professional ministry for nearly 10 years and it still amazes me how God can sneak up and suprize me. I am suprized by how flippin’ excited I am to get back on this path to ordained ministry! I am married, have two kids, work in both the ‘church world’ as well as the corporate world and generally have very few suprizes any more. However, yesterday that changed.
I flew in to Minneapolis, rented a bright yellow car (not my choice of color), drove to Luther Seminary and found myself giddy. Yep…a grown man…giddy.
Although it happens, miracles are rarely big. They rarely are the divisions of seas, raising of the dead, healings and the like. I personally find them in the small things (or seemingly small). I find them in the laughter of my children, the moments in the morning waking up with my wife, and most recently, being giddy at being in a situation where I have faithfully followed God’s call and ended up on a Lutheran campus…giddy.
God never ceases to amaze and suprise me.
Still giddy…seminary, day 1.
