In which it is very nearly almost finished

January 6, 2009

It’s done.
Yesterday at 4 o’clock, we all trooped down to the post office to mail Brian’s papers off.
One for pneumatology? Check.
One for eschatology? Check.
One for ecclesiology? Check.
All of them edited by yours truly? Check.
Can I just say that his paper on ecclesiology would PREACH. I got so excited while I was reading it that I was all “LET’S JUST START A CHURCH RIGHT HERE IN OUR LIVING ROOM! WOOT!”
And he mailed them off. Then we went to White Spot to celebrate. I had butter chicken. (Come on…you know you were wondering.)

So you know what this means?
Brian has finally completed his actual classes for his Masters of Christian Studies.
He has one more semester (at least) to complete his thesis but that’s it. He’s taking next semester off from Regent to do his research and reading. Then he’ll finish his paper. He hopes to be graduating this year.
He’s nearly done with school. WE are nearly done with school (because I feel like it’s been more than Brian doing this!).
We’re thisclose to being finished at Regent College. Wow.

    Fantastic! I remember when Paul finished seminary….and then 8 years later I finished grad school-it’s a fabulous feeling of freedom and accomplishment.

    That rocks!! Seriously rocks. I definitely don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel for us yet… with 2 more years of MDiv and then whoknowshowlong of phD… but I have this theory in my head that one day my husband will be out of school and working fulltime. Ahhh ministry.

    I had to sound out those words just to pronounce them. It definitely sounds like heady material.

    Please give Brian a hearty congratulations on my behalf. Having gone through grad school, I can certainly relate to the sleepless nights and endless papers. However, getting my master’s degree is one of my proudest accomplishments and I know it will be for him as well.

    Congratulations!!! To both of you!! What a supportive wife you’ve been to Brian through this journey–and now with two tinies!!

    Praying for strength for you both through this next semester and for clear direction from the Lord! :)

    Praise God and congrats. I definitely relate to your feeling of it being a joint accomplishment. Mainly because it is. I’m happy for ALL of you.

    Getting a spouse through a Master’s program is definitely a joint effort, so hugs and cheers to both of you!
    That butter chicken sounds decadent. Tell me more about it.

    @TriptoBountiful – It’s a Punjabi dish. So stinkin’ good. Kind of like chicken tikka marsala if you’ve ever had that. You could likely get it at any Indian restaurant. I love it with steamed rice and naan.

    Wonderful news! I bet Brian’s feeling like he’s got some breathin’ room now.

    I have a recipe for butter chicken I was going to try out this week. YUM!
