The next 3 years will be spent...

in New York City!

Prestigious CT school did not take me and it is ok! It really is. I was drawn to each school for completely different reasons and I feel like this is the answer to the prayer of, "Lord, lead me to the place that is best for me."


So I am very excited that now I know! I am excited at all the wonderful experiences ahead, the wonderful people I've already met and will meet in the future; the community that I will be privileged to be a part of; the learned experts I will sit under; the challenges that will deepen my call and cause me to grow! I am so glad and deep in my heart feel that this is the right choice.


Thank you for all the support and encouragement~every thought, kind word, and prayer has helped bring me to this place and I am so happy to get to share it with you!


To steal the favorite phrase of a very dear friend:

YAY!!!!!!

Zanne congrats!
But let me get this straight.. (excuse the expression haha)
Don't you already live in NYC?
And your saying that you're staying in NYC?
Sounds perfect to me!
I miss The City.
Will you stay in your same apt?

Sassy, thank you! Hugs!

Kitty, thank you too! :D

LBP, thanks and yes relaxing and letting it soak in is exactly what I'll be doing this weekend!

Only D, wow haven't heard that phrase in a way, and yet so fitting-thanks!

Lori, appreciate your good wishes-thanks!

KMae, yes, straight we are not! :D
Yes I do live in NYC and the school is down in Chelsea but I will be moving from my apt. to live on campus. Being part of the community is a vital part of formation and I'm really looking forward to being in that part of the city!

Oh how great!!!
I lived in Chelsea at one point, on 20th & 7th.
Where abouts is your new community?

so... can I sign you up now to celebrate as soon as you're ordained?

Congratulations on your admission to seminary! Is your denomination accepting, or only certain schools/congregations?

 
At 7:45 AM, March 18, 2007, Blogger Janet Kincaid said...

Yippee!! Congratulations Zanne! This is so exciting.

I read above, you're going to give up your apartment?! Well... all for a good cause. Living on campus can be a good thing, as long as you don't have to share a bathroom with 20 other women, as we discussed. (Sounds divine, but as a former seminarian who lived in the dorms for a semester at CDSP, it ain't!)

Hugs to you, Zanne! I'm so happy for you!!

See you the next time I'm in NYC. xoxo

Hey Kmae, I'll actually be in your old hood. The school is 21st St. between 9th & 10th. Can't wait--you'll have to let me know about your old favorite haunts!

Mr. Adorable, thank you thank you! :D

Claire Joy, ok you're freakin' me out but heck yes!!

Yankeegirl, welcome and thanks for commenting! The denomination as a whole is accepting but there are congregations that aren't and they are the ones that want a split in the church. It's a bit messy right now but I am hopeful for the future that the rancor will dissolve and worst case scenario will be that we simply agree to disagree.

JMK! Thanks for all your help and support along the way my friend! Truthfully I am quite committed to avoiding the whole dorm thing. My hope is that I will get a studio apartment or 1 bedroom if there are any left overs after the marrieds and families have been acommodated. Would love to see you here--were you just here?

Professor! Look forward to toasting with you in the near future! Hugs!

Shirlie, Yay you're back! LOVE you!!!

Congratulations!
