It is done!

It’s rare for me to write a bloglike post, but then this is a rare occasion. May 10th marked the end of a long personal journey of attaining my Master of Divinity degree with a major in Spiritual Formation. Gérard and I traveled to Toronto for the celebration which was glorious and memorable. I sat through the ceremony with deep feelings running through my veins. A mixture of satisfaction, joy, wonder and gratitude. A realisation that just about anything is possible if you take one challenge at a time and just keep at it.

Completing this degree from across the Atlantic required an extra amount of creativity, resourcefulness and perseverance. But it is done. And I am thankful. For my husband who counted the cost with me and ever cheered me on. For the friends who affirmed God’s gifting and calling on my life. For my professors who taught and modeled the Christ-formed life. For my God who poured grace into my life in a thousand ways as he restored me from a place of discouragement into the fruitfulness of a life filled with focus and purpose.

My post-travel catch-up will wind down soon. I anticipate adding a post or two on the theme of perseverance soon, but here’s to let you know that I’ve returned to cyberspace after a brief hiatus. So stay tuned.
