The Perfect Ending to the New Beginning

I have officially graduated Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. It's so bittersweet. I started off the night discovering that I had an aisle seat. Why? Because Jesus loves me. We had a super short time of worship, 20 minutes, which is so unusual for Bethel, but we had 600 graduates to get through plus speeches. There were some personal favorite songs sung (Light of Your Face-Misty Edwards, one of Brian's new songs This is What Heaven Look Like or something like that, Oh Happy Day), but the atmosphere was so electric with the Holy Spirit that it probably wouldn't have mattered what songs we sang. When it finally came time to walk across the stage I was overflowing with joy and gratitude at what Jesus allowed me to do this year. It was such an amazing opportunity. Thankfully they pronounced my name correctly and said I was from Cincinnati, not Cleves. Thank you Jesus. My favorite bible teacher handed me my diploma and then I got to hug Kris Vallotton and Beni & Bill Johnson. Mark Brookes and Bernie Ooley also were giving out hugs at the bottom of the steps. You may be thinking that I have some new found love of hugs and while that is not necessarily the case, it was amazing to be that close to kings and queens, mommas and papas, and forerunners in the Kingdom.

The evening was rounded off with a beautiful full moon and a delicious bowl of ice cream with my best buddies Jillian and Fin. It was pretty perfect. And now, I must go to bed because I still have to go to work in the morning. ;)
