done
Finished my dissertation a few days ago! What a sigh of relief, feels like I've been walking with someone strapped to my back the past month. Feels kind of weird to be finished with school, the past few days I've felt like I needed to read or write something. Going to University here has played a significant role in our ministry here in Edinburgh. Integration is one of the biggest challenges when living abroad. Some struggle for years to find their niche or level of influence. We integrated quickly through some God-ordained connections. As we have begun saying our goodbyes, the bulk of our relationships has some degree of connectedness to Edinburgh University.
Excited to continue pursuing my passions in policy issues as we make the move to DC.
Looking forward to getting my diploma, or as I call it, my receipt.
Ok, ready to move to the next challenge!

"Receipt"...that's definitely a good way to look at it :-)
Congrats for being done :-)
Way to go, Dave! A "soon to have in hand diploma", so well deserved.
We've been blessed these past two years in observing you and Kate pour your lives, love, and faith in Christ into relationships with the people of Scotland. I'm sure that you and Kate will be greatly missed in Edinburgh. We join our prayers with yours as you continue to follow the Lord's leading in your lives. Yes, ON TO THE NEXT CHALLENGE!
