So we've made a decision...
Graduation brings with it anxiety about finishing and finding something new to grab hold of.  A transition and change that is never comfortable.  It is exciting and challenging, yet frightening because we enter the unknown.  We cross this bridge, looking back to the familiar and safe, following our feet toward the shadowy future; the undefined blobs on the other side our allies or foes?  Either way, God watches over us, protecting us and providing for us.  We have been blessed!
We chose to move back to Grand Rapids, to a place familiar yet frightening.  My fears of becoming something I do not want to become give me reason to challenge the status quo.  Calvin Theological Seminary and its new program offer a holistic approach to ministry in a society that is diverse and in need of love.  We are at peace, and overwhelmed with blessings. 
Our Dordt education has been shaped and informed so much by family and friends, and it is something that we wouldn't trade for anything.  Thank you to all of our friends who have journeyed with us, challenged us, fought with us and loved with us.  Blessings as we all leave this place!
