One Proud Wifey

Today marks the end of one chapter of our lives and the beginning of another. 

Here we are standing at the end of the tunnel that we began May 2008. Yes, this is correct 4 years almost to the day, Nick graduates from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS). What an incredible journey this has been. We have had ups, downs, and in betweens. We wouldn't trade one moment of  this long, hard journey. It has made us both better, stronger, deeper people of faith.
So today, May 18th, 2012 at 10 a.m. I became the proud wife of a Seminary graduate. As Levi and I sit in the Chapel of SEBTS we are beaming with PRIDE in Mr. Bates.
Who knows, but God, where our next move is. But we are praying that the Lord would open the next door of this chapter sooner than later. 

Mr. Bates, 

We are so incredibly PROUD of you. You have made it to the end of what seemed like an impossible journey, when you first began. We have laughed together, cried together, stressed together, and prayed together through this whole journey. We know that it hasn't been a easy ride for you, but you made it. You made it to the end, and you finished STRONG. Levi and I couldn't be more proud of your for this HUGE milestone that you have finished. Now on to see what God has in store for you and us next.We LOVE you soooooooooo soooooooooo much. 

Love Always, 

Haner & Levi

To our Friends & Family, 

Thank you so much for praying us through this journey. We know that without each of you this journey would have been impossible. You all have stood in the gap and prayed for us when we couldn't or didn't know how to pray for ourselves. You all are an incredible blessing to our family.

We do ask that when you think of us that you pray for our next steps. Pray for God to open the next door for us, which is full-time ministry to serve in.  Pray for our house to sell and for it all to be an easy transition. 

Again Thank You for praying with us. Blessing and Love to you all. 

In Christ Love, 

The Bates
