I got the call yesterday. I’ve been accepted into the M.Div program at North Park Theological Seminary, my denomination’s school!
*breathes into paper bag*
I’m elated. And terrified. And praying HARD for scholarships, so I can afford to do this without taking out more student loans than I can pay off before retirement. (Laugh if you want, but even if I went full-time, my oldest will be out of high school before I’m out of seminary!!! #YesIKnowILookSoYoungIGotItFromMyDad)
Now, I’ve got to finish up my work at Northwestern, and get some other ducks in a row (although in reality, my life is more like herding cats than lining up ducks–but whatever).
I’d welcome prayers as I finish my work at Northwestern, apply for scholarships, and try to discern the best path forward.
I am so excited.
And also overwhelmed.
But mostly excited.
I think.
I may be in shock.





Congrats Jenny!!!
Thanks!
That is exciting! You are following your call and this is the next step of the race marked out for you. Our God provides!
Congrats!
Thank you, Jamie!
Hi Jenny, Great news – congratulations! What a wonderful opportunity… I’ll pray for you and your exciting new journey! – Best, Lisa
Thanks so much, Lisa.
I am excited!
That is awesome. We have been in the Covenant denomination for 6 years and more glad every year. I have met the most amazing men and women come out of the seminary. Praying for much money for tuition for you!!!
Thanks Patty! I grew up in the ECC, and the more I learn about it, the more I love it! It’s a great place to be, that’s for sure.
Wow, Jenny! Congratulations. I’ll keep you in my prayers — you’re amazing!
Thanks Lacey! I’m excited about this, but daunted, too. Oh well–forward!
Woo-hoo! Madam, your pulpit awaits!
