Big News!

This past weekend, Brent was ordained at Calvary Bible Church! The whole experience was so wonderful and it was so awesome to see God's hand in everything. Brent has been studying for months and he wrote a 10 page paper on everything he believes (doesn't that just SOUND overwhelming). Then, this past Saturday, he had an oral exam in front of a board of questioners (the elders plus one) and anyone else that wanted to come and ask questions - it was open to the public. So, for 2 hours and 20 minutes, he was answered questions on not only doctrine, but on his personal life and walk with God as well. I was so proud of Brent and so moved to see the wisdom that God has been so gracious to bestow set on display. I know that this is mercy and love that God is showing us. I feel so blessed to have such a godly husband that is so dedicated to studying the Bible and to living it out in every aspect of his life. I feel so safe and so trusting of Brent knowing that the man that is leading our family is resting so fully on God and putting Him first in his life. This weekend was very emotional for us as before Pastor Dan and the elders ordained Brent, he preached a sermon charging Brent and me with the responsibility of leading the flock. We are so humbled by this calling and we are so excited and so passionate about the path that lies ahead. Praise the Lord for his goodness and faithfulness and may we be found faithful as we serve Him daily with our thougths, words and actions. To Him be the glory for ever and ever. We went out to dinner with Brent's aunt, uncle, cousins, parents and Gramma.
