Fuller Theological Seminary

I'm in.
I got the phone call a few minutes ago.
I am sitting here filled with disbelief, crying and laughing
and glad that the Lord and I are alone together
while I absorb this news.
Years and years of longing and prayers are being fulfilled.
I am going to study, learn and prepare to teach the Bible.
I am overwhelmed.
I know a lot lies ahead.
There will be hard times and challenges,
it's going to be a huge faith venture...
but nothing can ever take away this moment.
In this moment one of the greatest hopes of my life has been fulfilled.
I will always treasure the memory of this very moment.

Thank you, Lord.
You know how much and how long I have wanted this.
I know you will see me through.
