Seminary Wives Institute

All right, this is not going to be a long post, because I'm pretty tired after some very long days these last 3 weeks.  Let's just say that working all day at a preschool, and then coming home after 6:00 p.m. and staying up until 11:30 when Matt gets home from work, is finally really getting me pretty tired.  But, I'm not complaining,  I love the feeling of being tired from working in the ministry, It is probably one of my most favorite feelings in all of the world.  I know, I'm strange, but you all probably already knew that.

Tonight I attended my first class at the Seminary Wive's Institute.  What an amazing program!  This program has been designed specifically for the wives of seminary students.  While taking this program, I will be equipped with all of the practical training that I will need to have in order to take on the role of a ministry wife.  After sitting through tonight's class, which is called Essentials I, with the Seminary president's wife, Mary Mohler, I am just blown away at how privileged I am to be able to sit under these ladies and men who have been in the ministry.  They are dedicating their time to equip us to be prepared to face the challenges of life as a ministry wife.  God is so good to provide me with training like this before Matt and I go to serve Him in whatever church he calls us to.  The classes meet every Thursday night from 7:00 - 8:30.  We have required reading, papers, and quizzes just like normal college.  At the end of the program, we even get to graduate with a certificate.  Praise God for laying it on Mrs. Mohler's heart to start this program 16 years ago.  This is a much needed service for ministry wives today.

As I said, I'm going to keep this post short, so I wanted to thank you all for your support, and prayers.  Matt and I often think and pray for all of you back home.  This week has been a little hard on me, because normally I would have started teaching at Anza Valley Christian School during this week, but God has different plans for us right now.  I miss my students so much, but I know that they are in very capable hands now.  I pray that God will continue to bless AVCS as He has done in the past.  Well, until next time, you will all be in our prayers.
