Hi guys!
So, to be honest, I haven't the slightest idea why I haden't posted this earlier.
Needless to say, I met with Church of Our Saviour's Vestry last Saturday the 19th. I was a good experience, a little nervewracking but a good experience nonetheless.
It was nice to see everyone!
I was nervous to say the least, according to my sister, I was talking fast and was using my hands a lot, lol.
I told them about what I've been up to at St. Matthew's in regards to the food pantry and getting involved in the liturgy.
When all was said and done, I drove home with Chelsea not knowing the outcome. Anxious doesn't even begin to describe the way I felt. The waiting was scary/exciting and hopeful at the same time.
So, all-in-all, I got an email from Donna the next morning. She said that Charlie told her that I got "more than the number of required signatures".
Exciting, relieved, hopeful. A lot of emotions are going through me.
I'm now in 'getting what I need to get done, done' mode. I'm working on finishing the Nomination Acceptance form.
It's essentially a form that goes to the Bishop that says I'm accepting the nomination that the Vestry approved saying that they think I should continue forward in the discernment process.
So as of now, I'm waiting for some information. I'm waiting to hear from St. John's in New Jersey which is where I was Baptized. I'm hoping they can give me the date. I also need the date of my Confirmation that happened my Freshman year of college. I'm pretty sure it was in the Spring, but that's all I know.
So, I understand that this is a long expensive process but despite all of that, I'm supposed to continue. I'm going to go until someone says no.
I'm along for the ride, we'll see what happens.
Short I know, but an update all the same :)
Nancy
