Candidacy Approved

My CPM approved my application for candidacy. That means that I'll start looking for a congregation and am set on the path to becoming a pastor. The path of Jeremiah it is, then.

So I ran across this in Jeremiah 12:

   how will you compete with horses?
And if in a safe land you fall down,

congratulations! i'm very happy for you.

Thanks.

Are you still in the process or are you taking a break?

I still need to take a unit of CPE before final evaluation & PIF circulation, but they said it would be fine to do a congregational-based unit.

i'm still in the process but my committee wants me out. *shrug* i don't want to leave because i might be going back to seminary next fall. depends on whether or not dan gets into his phd program. if he does, then it'll be a few more years. i imagine he will, but who knows.

So rarely get to use the PC for non business....

Are they thinking of counting the time you spent at LPTS as one year within a Presbyterian seminary?

(I'm not fully convinced that, degree in hand, I should be reckoned as someone who spent even one year at a Presbyterian seminary. But that's my pessimistic streak....)

I'll be praying for you. Don't give up hope.
