Last weekend my name was called ‘in absentia’ at Bethany Bible College’s graduation ceremony. It took a while, but I’ve finally wrapped up my college education. The important thing to me is finishing what I’ve started, and trusting God’s plan for my life and His ministry. 

This week I’m taking my final required course. It is a seminar on the book of Hebrews. What a great book! Our professor has passionately instructed us all week. Hebrews really helps us understand God’s covenant with His people and how Christ is high priest, seated in the Most Holy Place with God. It is a book about faith: Faith is living as if God’s promise for the future is certain and His power in the present is real. 

Today my grandfather, the Real John Sherwood, is being moved into York Manor. He’s been in the hospital for just over 4 months, so I’m hoping the is a good move for him.

Tomorrow I finish my seminar and head to Crosspoint to meet up with our youth group and then drive to Rally in the Valley. It’s going to be a great weekend! Pastor Mark will place a cherry on top of his youth ministry and I will enjoy my first rally as youth pastor – crazy! What a ride! I finally finish college and God has already setup great things to come. My internship was crucial in learning how to be the minister God intended me to be, and to trust Him as Jehovah-jireh, God who provides. God set this up. I couldn’t have set this up!
