"Tonight's Realization"

Tonight, Jay is less than 24 hours away from being an Ordained Presbyterian Minister. I am less than 24 hours away from being a Pastor's Wife. Elijah Brooks is less than 24 hours away from being a "Preacher's Kid". 

After 5 grueling written exams (comparable to what lawyers take when they take the BAR), 1 oral exam before the Examination Committee today, and an oral exam before the Alabama Presbytery tomorrow (100 + pastors)...., not to mention Seminary...., he is almost done. 

I will share more thoughts in another post when I have time to organize them. Tonight, I am weary from pacing the floor in prayer for my husband - and taking care of a very agitated/frustrated child who is cutting what appears to be his I- teeth (poor baby and poor mommy). God has answered so many specific prayers today and we are just so thankful and humbled. 

This time tomorrow night, it should be official. What an overwhelming realization and humbling call on our lives.  Honestly, we tremble at the thought of this position. We need your prayers as we embark on God's call to ministry.
