Ordained

Sunday was an incredibly special day for our family! You may remember my post recently about the ways that God has worked in our lives and the ministry that He has called us to. Well, this past weekend was the day that Chad was ordained as a pastor at our church!

After a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, it was just the icing on the cake to share this time with our family, friends and church family. I am beyond thankful for the wonderful, godly husband that God has blessed me with.

Our pastor explained that it wasn't man that was ordaining, but God, and that we were just recognizing what God had already done. He encouraged us, challenged us, and reminded us that what God has called us to He will equip us for. 

We read through 1Timothy 3:1-7
And, then were surrounded by pastors, elders and others who serve alongside us in the student ministry who prayed over us.
 Both of our immediate families were there. Unfortunately, our siblings left before we were able to get pics of everyone. We were so glad that they were all there with us.
It was a very special day indeed! Please pray along with us for God to continue the work He's doing in the lives of each student, and that He would pour His wisdom on Chad as he works to serve each one of them. It is a huge task, but God is able and He is faithful. We are honored to be a small part of what He's doing!
