To whom it may concern...

Hi y'all! (as they say down here in the south.) Well, it's kind of the south. Far enough south to have sweet tea at most places.

I just want to leave a brief explanation of this blog for those who come upon it:
This is for those who know or know of me who are curious as to what I'm up to here at Asbury Theological Seminary. I've been sort of off the radar during the last five years. I was in Seoul, South Korea doing ministry and finishing my undergrad and then God called me back. So here I am, attempting a Masters of Divinity degree and travelling down the ordination path in the strength the Lord provides.

It's an exciting time, an amazing culmination of the last 25 years of life God's given me. I'm not sure always what I'm really doing here, but I have a general idea and I'm excited to use this as a venue for sharing that plus the other things that come along. Hopefully once I get some of these big papers out of the way that are due this week, I'll give a brief summary/update on what's happened in my first month here.

This is a place for checking on my prayer requests, to see what God's doing over here (through my eyes), and to get a glimpse in the life of a seminarian. Exciting, eh? Most of the time you may have no idea what I'm talking about (and I might not either), but hopefully I can communicate the awesome things I'm learning in a clear way...that's what I'm here to learn to do!

So thanks for coming by, I'll likely be updating at least weekly so be sure to check back!...

In His Hands,
Izzie***
