two down two to go

I have completed two of the four interviews needed to make the entrance into candidacy and seminary a reality!  The over the phone interview for the DL program at Luther is complete and went well.  I also met with a member of the Synod's candidacy committee on Monday.  We had a nice chat for about an hour.  It went well.

These interviews are a lot of me talking about myself.  I am not very comfortable talking about myself!  I guess I will just have to get used to it, because I will be telling my story and talking about myself a lot over the next six - ten years!!

My next interview is in a couple of Monday's.  I have to head down to the Cities for a three hour "conversation" with a psychologist.  I completed several inventories on interest and personality.  It will be really interesting and I hope FUN to learn about myself.

The last and most important interview will take place mid June.  This is the entrance interview with the synod.  I really don't expect any kind of surprises and or a rejection, but you never know.

I feel pretty clear about the call to ordained ministry for me and my family.  I am really looking forward to the growth that is before me.  I am looking forward to being open to not only this process, but where this journey will bring my family and I.

I wonder where we will find ourselves wandering over the next months and years as we travel together down this road that is less traveled?
