friday...

Friday is D DAY. i have been studying Lutheran doctrine, theology, and ethics intensely for the last 6 to 8 months. The last two weeks have been a cram session. i must say it is weird to have ones fate being held in the decision of others. This is were we are suppose to trust in the hierarchy of the church as part of the spirits movement in our lives. And truly in that context all i can say is "God, i submit."

i had a truly frustrating day today waiting on someone else's car to get fixed. i was told it would take an hour and it took four hours. looking back on the day however it gave a good period of quite to study and focus on what is to come on Friday. Plus it allowed me a chance to practice selfless love.

i think what is most fear causing about Friday is the lack of knowledge of what will be asked in the theological review panel. i will say that by Friday i will have done all i can to be prepared for the interview. i would like to ask god and all those who pray to ask that god would help me to get through this interview with a positive experience and a life affirming, future affirming process. I would love for them to recommend me with no reservations or requirements for the final section of the process. i pray i retain all the information of what i have studied

i am longing to be back working in the church. i miss preaching, teaching, and caring for the community.
