Story In Pictures ~ Josh's Graduation

Josh had toyed with the idea of going back to school to get his doctorate off and on for several years.

Three years ago he felt like the Lord gave him the green light and he dove in.

He was placed in a cohort with 3 other guys.

Over the course of these three years Jacob, Josh, Kelly and Jeff would create a friendship that would keep each other accountable in school and 

encourage one another in their own ministry and mission fields.

They would later find out how rare it would be to all make it through to the end at the same pace.

Each graduate is invited to the President's home, Magnolia Hill, to visit with the professors

before graduation.

the hat got passed around quite a bit among the Colony kids.

Even Uncle Ray came to support Josh!

So thankful for this opportunity for Josh and even the rest of us as we get to glean from all that God did and is doing through this season.
