One heck of a week

Posted by Joel VandenBrink under

Well, besides the week I got married, I think this week was the best week of my life. I was treated like royalty for two days by Ron Carucci as he took Tim and I on a Leadership Formation trip, my parents were in town (and still are until tomorrow morning), and I graduated with my Masters of Divinity degree. Phew, I’m tired.

It would seem that with all that happened last week that I would have plenty of words to post, but in the midst of so much I am worded out. I have spoken all that I can speak. So here I sit, a man humbled by the love he has received this week. A man grateful for wonderful friends and family, and a man who waits for the words of gratitude to bubble up.

To all of you who read this who had some role in my life this past week. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your presence in my life is too much to bear — and for that I am grateful.

Blessings and Peace
joel

This site is dedicated to recording one man’s struggles, joys, and everything in between with this thing we call life. It is also a running record of my thoughts as well as a place for those in other places to stay connected.
