After four years of study, discernment, discovery, highs, lows, and all the things in between, here I am in front of Martin Luther at Wartburg Theological Seminary holding a shiny new Master of Divinity diploma. For someone who barely graduated high school and dropped out of community college after 5 years (yes, read that again), it was quite the moment.
Congratulations on your seminary graduation. I am a Wartburger as well, having graduated way back in 1979. After 36 years of full time ordained ministry, I am now retired. But I still remember my seminary days with fondness. But after 20 years of schooling, I was totally burned out, and very ready to become a pastor. I hope that for you soon. I benefited a lot from what I learned at Wartburg. But as they say, “Experience is the best teacher.” And when you become a pastor the real learning begins by all the experiences you will have as a pastor. May God bless you in every way as you begin this new stage in your life. What an adventure it will be!
Congratulations!! Knew you could do it, because He was with you all the way. Will continue to pray for you and family as you "start" your official ministry. :)

Congratulations. This is a VERY big deal.
