Commissioning Weekend

Well, the weekend is over and I am still stunned that this was my commissioning weekend. There are too many thoughts and emotions surrounding this weekend for me to articulate clearly but suffice it to say it was an excellent one.

Every time I see myself in red trim (for officer's) I am surprised and wonder what's going on ;). It doesn't seem quite real yet and probably won't for awhile. This weekend was beautifully put together and a delight to participate in.

I was and am very blessed by those family and friends who were there to support me as well as the family and friends of my session mates who came for them as well. It is very moving to see that visible sign of support and know that it is a mere representation of all those who could not attend.

I am now off for some vacation before starting my appointment and am very excited to see a whole bunch of people. For those here this weekend who I didn't get to see - I'm sorry to have missed you and thanks for coming. For those who took pictures I hope I can see them as I didn't get a chance to take many :).

So to conclude this out for today....WHAT A WEEKEND!

The red trim in your peripheral vision can be a bit distracting for a while. You will settle into it just fine. We could see the 'mantle of leadership' on you all during Commissioning. 22 months of training, all summed up in Covenant chapels, your Covenant Sunday and then Commissioning. God bless you on the road to Fernie!
