Yep, I'm still a little freaked out by my decission to become a pastor. My life will never be the same, but it's not really a scared freak out, it's a just a little freaked out. It's not a "I can't do this" it's a "What did I just do?"
Today's Friday, so it's my day off! I know, I took Monday off as well, but I only work 32 hours a week and I had board meetings this week, and that pretty much sucks up all my hours. I hate meetings. I know they are important, but sometimes they are just so painful. Maybe I should start to knit during meetings to pass the time.
On the path to becoming a pastor, I have turned in my application and scheduled my psychological evaluation. I need to still schedule my initial interview (I'll call on Monday) and read some short book. Then December 9th and 10th my candadicy committee gets together and decides whether or not I am destined to a be a pastor. If they decide yes, I will be taking online classes in Feburary, pending being admitted to the Seminary. I also have to surrender my MA in order to transfer my MA into a MDiv. I'm a bit shaken up about this. I worked so hard for that degree, and I have to give it back if I want to count those years towards my new degree. On the plus side, I am 15 credits (+ Greek), CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) and 1 intership year away from my MDiv. I'm thinking it will take 3 years...maybe???
Oh, I think I will be planning a mission trip to Puerto Rico next year! I called the Lutheran Camp, and quickly learned that I need to brush up on my Spanish. I'm hoping they call back; I'm also hoping to find someone to translate :)
