Why I came to Boston

Today, two and a half years later, he finishes the requirements for the Master of Divinity program. This morning, I asked him since he’s now a master of Divinity, does that make me the mistress of Divinity? He said I’d always be his mistress, in the very best way. yeah ah huh.
He’s the reason why I’m up here – staring out my window. Watching snow fall this morning, a sight I never thought would be familiar to me.
He’s the man of my dreams. He’s the protector and provider and best friend that I’ve always wanted. He loves me in ways I’ll never understand, and for reasons that I’ll never comprehend. And I love him enough to follow him 1,ooo miles from all that was home to me.
Now, he’s home to me.
As much as this place, this experience, this sacrifice has stretched and strained me, we’ve finally made the decision to be here for another year. This is partly my doing. I’ve been a voice in the process of talking him into staying. Over the course of the next year, he’ll get a second degree, a Master of Theology in Preaching. He’s one of the most talented communicators I’ve ever heard, and a year of focusing on his preaching abilities will be invaluable.
Some times – most of the time – I believe in him more than I believe in myself.
He’s worth it.
Well, you know I do have a slight man-crush on Drew, so I give my hearty “amen” to your words of affection and admiration for that hubby of yours.
It is this kind of love that I hope to find. Thank you for being an inspiration, and for sharing a bit of yourself with us. This is the type of story that keeps me dreaming!
(And with 55 minutes before my exam, this was soooo worth breaking my ‘no going online during study time’ rule!)
Big decision! Isn’t it great having a hubby you can believe in?
Warms my little pea-pickin’ heart.
I love these posts… they encourage me to do “somethin” in my life. mmmm
Thank you friend
Beautifully put.
wow – thats exciting that u guys now know the next step of your adventure together………ps i would love to see snow falling on a reg basis…i think……
Congratulations!
I like you even more.
Well, that is just beautiful. I wondered how long y’all had been there. The snow would freak me out on a regular basis. But, regarding the whole experience….I’m kinda jealous. I think every couple should have that experience.
Congrats!!
Congratulations to both you and Drew on his completing his Master of Divinity program. I am congratulating you as well because you two are a team, supporting each other, sharing in each others successes.
I am going to guess that Drew sees you as his greatest source of strength, that he could not envision being where he is today without you.
I am going to guess that he believes in you as much as you believe in him.
Congrats Master and Mistress.
Master of Theology in Preaching? That is hawt stuff!
That seems some like I would want.
Me thinks my Graduate work will have to go through GCS
Hehe. Mistress.
Congrats to your hubby on the degree…and an early congrats on the next degree, too.
I really related with how you explained your love for him. Same kind of stuff I have in my heart about my husband…I just have difficulties putting it into words.
“Some times – most of the time – I believe in him more than I believe in myself.” — especially this.
Thanks for your openness Mandy.
Well, how Divine! Congratulations Drew!!
And Mandy, you know there is nothing better for a godly man in the pulpit than a godly wife spurring him on in the race. Well done. YOU should get a certificate as well.
I liked the snow falling on your blog header yesterday–I noticed it. Or was it just my imagination?
This post makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Beautiful!
