ευχαριστω τω θεω

“ευχαριστω τω θεω” translated means “I give thanks to God.” I say that because upon coming to the end of my college career, I can only be extremely grateful for all that the Lord has done for me. The blessings have flowed so abundantly over the years and even here at the end, His grace has been overwhelming. I share these blessings with you because it is amazing to see how in spite of my sin and failure He continues to give beyond what I deserve.

- **Sermon**: The sermon I preached in chapel went so well that it showed it was not me, but God working through me.
- **Scholarship**: The Lord provided for half of my seminary tuition next year to be paid for through the John R. Dunkin Scholarship.
- **Greek**: I had a huge exegetical paper due on Monday which I cranked out over the weekend. I really humbled me because I did not know what I was doing. But I found out today that I received an ‘A’ on the project.
- **Graduation**: I’m going to walk on Friday, wrapping up four years of blood, sweat, and tears.
- **Testimony**: I have the privilege of giving my testimony of how my life has been shaped at TMC at the board meeting lunch, sitting with my pastor and president.

All these things are not any more amazing than the fact that God sustains me everyday. His grace is greater than all my sin, always. I don’t live one millisecond of time without God’s forgving, loving, holy mercy. For all that He has done already, and whatever He has planned for tomorrow, ευχαριστω τω θεω.

You forgot one — that He then takes what you have learned and invests it into others!! What an advantage for a Youth Ministry to have an alum of your character! We thank and praise God for all He is doing through you!

Micah! Congratulations on finishing college! PRAISE GOD! I can’t believe you are graduating today… CRAZY! It seems like just yesterday you were sitting on the bleachers helping me pass math class! :) Now, you are all grown up and going off to seminary! :) Well, can’t wait to see you in less that a week! The Lord truly has done a mighty work in you! I am excited to see how He is going to use you for His glory and to further His Kingdom!
