December 21, 2007

Woo Hoo! Yippie! Yahoo! Yea God!

It is with great delight that I can report I passed my doctoral dissertation defense, made the final tweaks on the document, and graduated with a Doctor of Ministry degree (with a concentration in Spiritual Formation) on December 15, 2007.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my Field Consultant, Advisor, and many friends and family members who helped and encouraged me along the way. The biggest thanks go to my dear husband and to God, without whom I would not have made it to the finish line!

Thanks to those of you who have lifted me up in prayer. Your encouragement has meant a great deal to me. Thanks, too, for your patience, as I have recently expended all my energy on the dissertation and have neglected my blog! Now that I have returned to the land of the living, I hope to post more often.

Now, on to celebrating the birth of my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for his most gracious gift!

Merry Christmas!
