Not Quite a Master…But Definitely a Father!

Oh man, it has been a LONG time since I have dabbled in the blogosphere. Not that I haven’t wanted to keep this updated (although I honestly haven’t had much desire), it is that most every waking hour I now have my nose in one of the books in the picture. It is a ton of work, but SWEET! First time in my life that I have been totally over my head in school work, but loving (almost!) every minute of it.

So, with the confusingly endless support of my wife, I am now working at my Master’s full time at Fuller Theological Seminary. Between memorizing Hebrew, reading way more books than I will probably finish and some really good conversations, I am also working as a permanent, part time Adult Education Teacher. It is pretty much the best job I could have dreamed of for this stage of life. Very much engaging with students I am honored to know, while having almost ZERO discipline issues and leaving myself time most every afternoon to study/prepare for my evening and weekend classes at Fuller. More on that later…

What makes my wife’s support even more confusingly endless is the fact that we are……….pregnant!! Yep, that is the big news. We have been passing the word slowly(forgive me if this is the first time you have heard this) as Janny just entered her 5th month. In fact, we went for a check up with our midwife last week and got to hear the heartbeat. I’m pretty sure my heartbeat about stopped when I heard that little one ticking along. So excited! We are looking forward to taking it along with us in the wild “life’s” ride we have chosen. May not be a wealthy or “normal” life, but it is going to experience all kinds of cultures, ways of life and LOTS of love as we do our best to live out the Kingdom of God. I don’t think it knows what it’s in for. Of course, neither do we!
