Well it is done! I was actually ordained to the transitional diaconate last Saturday. What a great Eucharist! Thanks to all who helped to make it such a memorable day. The youth and kids who were part of the service and sat in the front pew made me really happy. A friend videotaped the ordination and at times, in the background, was the sound of children----a beautiful beautiful noise.
In J2A the next day we discussed the process I went through leading up to ordination. It wasn't until I spoke of the entire process that I realized just how much goes into this--and how many people carried me, and continue to carry me through this process. Thank you!
When I left the "family pew" for the Examination and Consecration I had a distinct knowledge that "this was it" I was walking away from laity and toward clergy. It was very moving for me. I am still digesting the amazing day!
